Son Heung-min (£9.0m) is fit to feature in Tottenham Hotspur’s clash with Manchester United this afternoon, having made a swift recovery from a hamstring injury.

Having initially ruled the Korean out until after the October international break, Jose Mourinho appeared to be slowly backpedalling on that initial prognosis during the week and Son indeed makes the starting XI this afternoon.

Kick-off in the penultimate match of Gameweek 4 is at 16:30 BST.

Son may have been passed fit but Mourinho has otherwise rung the changes from the Gameweek 3 draw against Newcastle United, no doubt in response to the Lilywhites’ brutal schedule that has seen them play cup matches on both Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Full-backs Matt Doherty (£5.9m) and Ben Davies (£4.9m) drop to the bench, while Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m) isn’t risked after sustaining a knock in the 7-2 win over Maccabi Haifa.

Midfielders Lucas Moura (£6.9m) and Harry Winks (£5.5m) are also among the substitutes, having started all three Premier League games before today.

Dele Alli (£7.6m) makes the 18-man squad but again doesn’t feature from the start.

Serge Aurier (£5.2m), Sergio Reguilon (£5.5m), Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m), Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m) and Erik Lamela (£5.9m) are the players who come into Spurs’ side at Old Trafford.

The Manchester United team news is a lot more straightforward.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made one alteration to his side from Gameweek 3, with Eric Bailly (£5.0m) replacing Victor Lindelof (£4.9m) at centre-half.

Almost 1.4 million FPL managers sold Son ahead of the Gameweek 4 deadline, with no other Fantasy asset suffering as many transfers out as the South Korea international in a single Gameweek so far this season.

Anthony Martial (£8.9m) was also out of favour, with his 303,342 sales making him the second-most sold FPL forward of this weekend.

Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) is the only Manchester United player who has a double-digit ownership in FPL at the time of writing, with three Spurs players – Doherty, Son and Harry Kane (£10.5m) – featuring in more than 10% of Fantasy squads.


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Lamela, Son, Kane.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Greenwood, Martial.

  7. Pukki Blinders

    How does Maguire and Bailly's shambolic defending and a corrupt red card justify calling for Ole's head? The problem is far beyond Ole... the Glazer's and Woodward. Being narrow minded and cycling through manager after manager isn't the answer.

    1. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He isn't a PL standard manager

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Correct. Noddy is great entertainment. Doesn’t know what to say in press conferences and can’t motivate. Keep him I say!!

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Whose job is it to organise a defence and team? I forget

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Didn't know Ole was playing a game of chess and control the beyond stupid actions of his defenders, my mistake

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I look at what Arteta has done to Arsenal to improve them defensively with worse players than Man Utd.

      I then look at what OGS has done with Man Utd.

      I can only conclude that OGS isn't as good as Arteta. And that is a problem is Man Utd want to challenge the top two.

    5. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Just because Woodward is a problem doesn't mean that Ole is good enough, they're both at fault.

    6. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Hes a glorified coach who just picks his best players and says "alright lads, go out there and have a good time 🙂 :)"..

      This is the highest level of football, that kind of low tier managing ability shouldnt (and doesnt) cut it

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Actually he doesnt even pick his best players, he picks his most established players that will cause him the least fallout if it goes wrong.

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          He’s picked the strongest 11 for today... looking at that defence does that look like a top 6 club strongest 11 to you? Whilst I agree there are much better managers than Ole, there are far bigger fish to fry atm at United

  8. yash
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Will Shaw start next week? Have Davies has well so defence looks in shambles

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Telles is coming

      1. yash
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yes that's the problem, may be forced into WC because of this.

      2. Bushwhacker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Heard he got straight back on a plane to Portugal

      3. threeputt
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        would he have to quarantine for 2 weeks ?

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Nope, exception

  9. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Now you take Son off

  10. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I'm on the west coast of the US. Just catching up now. ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH SON, MOURINHO?!? I don't know if I've ever been so livid playing FPL. Son is third on my bench.

    Sorry, needed to vent.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Welcome. At least you held onto him, many need to get him back in now!

    2. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Any goodwill for him I started to build watching All or Nothing is completely gone.

  11. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    How has a bigger club not signed Son yet?

    1. Critical Observer
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Seriously under-appreciated, one of the best players in the league.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Liverpool should have

  12. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Don’t forget United will get one back after the final whistle.

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Lol

  13. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Nice two week rest for Son now.

    So glad I didn’t sell him.

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    At least United have the ‘Front 3 scored more goals than Liverpools’ & ‘Most clean sheets in Europe” trophies from last season.

    Ole’s at the wheel and he’s doing his thing!

  15. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Son showing genuine remorse for his sellers. Looks devastated.

  16. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Who thinks Bruno lost the plot in the dressing room and got subbed because of it?

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Something has gone on.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        For sure

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Likely I think... who can blame him

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Nobody

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I have mention that 2 pages ago... Something happened at HT for sure!!!

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Sorry for the repeat. Not seen him watching and senseless taking him off

        1. El Presidente
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Nah, something happened. He's not taking shaite from Ole or any player in that dressing room for that matter...

          1. Eze Really?
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            that's what i am saying

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Probably telling the manager how to do his job. Ole took notes and then sent him home.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        smile LOL

  17. Critical Observer
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Son off before the hat-trick. 🙁 Mourinho’s a meanie.

  18. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this wc?

    McCarthy
    TAA Robbo Chilwell
    Salah Son Pulisic Zaha
    Kane DCL Brewster
    ___
    Forster Lamptey Ferguson Bissouma

    Pulisic could become Rodriguez so I can upgrade Ferguson / Lamptey

  19. CluckinGreat
    • 14 Years

    Son injured out for at least 10 weeks

  20. Kodap

  23. Muller Reus Corner
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Hi everyone, with Martial’s injury should I transfer out Bruno, Digne and Jimenez out for Salah, Robbo and Maupay for a -4?

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Red card!

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not injured - red carded for 3 games...

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, a dumb typo. What do you think of the moves?

        1. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah - very good moves, IMO. However, wait until end of the IB. There are always injuries and additional Covid risks this year. I basically won't be making any moves until Thursday 15th.

  24. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Nice 2 week break for Son - SKorea games have been postponed over this IB.

  25. davies
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    DCL +

    Antonio or Wilson?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      DCL Kane Wilson atm

  26. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I should’ve just kept my GW1 team

    1. Pommie22
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Ditto bud, just checked, i would be 44 points better off with TAA,Robbo and Salah (c) still to play.
      Instead I've wc already, swapped (c) to Jiminez and traded Son for Mahrez.
      Does this make me a casual or just sh** at fpl.

  27. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I have Bissouma on my bench, my rival has Son. I played Davies, he played Doherty.

    1. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wow.

  28. FPL Alaska
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is Son now officially the biggest troll in FPL history?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Eh?

    2. One for All
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Ain't no troll, blanked in Gw1 and was subbed at half time gw3, I don't understand people selling him blanking in 1 gw

      1. FPL Alaska
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        If you include past seasons I would have to say he is up there. That red card killed me last year.

  29. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Son out then? 😛

  30. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    KDB to Son worth a hit, or better to take a -8 and upgrade Podence to Son and Werner to Maupay/Wilson? After the break, of course. Need to do something radical because I'm at 4m OR.
