In the final Premier League match of the day, Tottenham Hotspur host Newcastle United in north London.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Antonio Conte makes one enforced change from the side that beat West Ham United 3-1 in Gameweek 30, with Emerson Royal coming in for Sergio Reguilon, who misses out after failing a late fitness test.

That suggests Matt Doherty will switch flanks and operate down Spurs’ left-side in their usual 3-4-2-1 formation.

Eddie Howe, meanwhile, makes three changes with Javier Manquillo, Jonjo Shelvey and Allan Saint-Maximin replacing Emil Krafth, Bruno Guimaraes and Miguel Almiron.

The latter is not even in the squad – he travelled back from Paraguay in midweek – while Guimaraes is a substitute.


GAMEWEEK 31 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Royal, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Doherty, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Subs: Sanchez, Winks, Rodon, Gollini, Bergwijn, Moura, White, Scarlett, Bowden

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Manquillo, Schar, Burn, Targett, Shelvey, Willock, Joelinton, Fraser, Saint-Maximin, Wood

Subs: Dummett, Lascelles, Ritchie, Krafth, Murphy, Darlow, Gayle, Longstaff, Guimaraes

    I think it's time that we didn't rank Newcastle United as a top 6 team, just yet.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Once Haaland replaces Joelinton…

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      LOL ; maybe in five years

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      We'll be happy with avoiding relegation given the start to the season.

  2. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On this performance I guess there’s a pretty good chance that Conte sticks with these wingbacks even if Reguilon is fully fit?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd still say Sessegnon comes back in when fit

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Over Royal

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If offered before the game 33 points from Son, Kulu & Doherty, while Kane got 4, would owners of all 3 have taken it?

    I probably would have.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Close one

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Only 32 now 🙁

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Doherty might jump ahead of Kulu with that last touch.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        And Son.

        Maximum 3 bonus points.

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Doherty just jumps to 3 baps 😆

      1. HonestBlatter
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        How in earth?

      2. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yes!

      6. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        thats a -3pt swing for me...son,kulu and no doherty... annoying af

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wow, last minute 3 bonus grab

      Doherty (36)
      Son (35)
      Kulusevski (32)

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nice

        Doherty, Kulu and Rudiger saving my gw

      2. moment
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I gain a point from Doh and lose one from Kulu. But at least the Son-driven average comes down.

      3. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Annoying... Got 5 anyway though.

      4. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That’s my three.

        Benched Doherty for Maupey however… 14 point swing

      5. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I have all 3! Doesn't happen very often

    5. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      3 digit rank finally. 😀

      Lacazette, Saka, White, Pickford and Richarlison still to go this gw.

      Happy days. 😀

      1. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Wow, impressive!

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Incredible season you are having! Every time I see a post you have an amazing rank, high scores etc. Smashing it!

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          😆

        2. pundit of punts
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Just need that final push towards top 500

          Been holding ground for far too long now

          FH 33 BB 36 should help

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Good luck

          2. Sun Jihai
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I think about half of top 10k have used BB and one third FH2 so well placed

            1. pundit of punts
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Cheers mate

          3. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            FH33, interesting, my FH draft got Kane Son and Cancelo in it. Are you including SGW players in FH33? Top rank btw!

      3. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Been there done that with 2 figures

        1. pundit of punts
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Fantastic 🙂

        Logged in just to say we'll done!

        Great to see a name I know doing so well

        Keep it going

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years

          *well

        2. pundit of punts
          • 12 Years

          Appreciate it 🙂

    6. Tom
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      As a non Kane owner, that could have gone a lot, lot worse!

      1. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        It will in the coming weeks

        1. Tom
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, I know. On my priority list of players to get in, but it’ll require a bit of team surgery first!

          1. Utopsis
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            He's a must-have - those fixtures + no cup distractions!

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        5 goals and 5 assists

        All spread out.

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Only own Son there and that game was -34% to my rank … and that was lucky with Kane only getting 4!

    7. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kinda funny how a motm Kane in a 5-1 win only scrapes 4pt.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ah he was ridiculous.

        1. just a man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          0.5 shoe size bigger for Son and it’s a 1 pointer.

    8. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Think the FPL towers need to allow us to have 4 spurs players.

    9. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Even snuck into the top 20 with a -8 🙂

      1. BrockLanders
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nice

    10. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Disappointing ultimately with Kane(C) but I'm still happy to take 2pts over Salah, especially with Doherty and Son alongside it

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        It's only 1 point more...

        1. Ten Season Wonder
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          he's talking about (C)

          1. Philosopher's Stones
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            If C on Kane, (8)+3 = 11 points
            If C on Salah, (6)+4 = 10 points

            The difference is only 1 point

            1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              I'm confused (although maths isn't my best point), I simply meant if I captained Salah over Kane I'd be 2pts lower than I am now. Where are the 3+4 coming from?

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Ignore captaincy and just compare raw scores - Kane (4), Salah (3)

            2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Never mind, my brain just decided to work. Oh well!

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Annoyingly he got a YC

    11. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sonny at last rewarding owners. 26 point haul with him & the Doctor.

      1. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Less rewarding, more back to normal. He's world class!

      2. BrockLanders
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        And I've Davies 2nd bench. Any chance Saka or Tierney miss out?

      3. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        And some people dumped for Kane rather than just adding H

        1. BrockLanders
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Heartbreaking I'm sure

      • 15 Years

      People need to put some respect on Kane's name. No other striker in world football can do what he does.

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Looool

      2. BrockLanders

        Yes, diving and talking like his marbles in his mouth. Unrivalled

        1. BrockLanders

        Not score when his team scores 5?

      4. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I’m glad someone else said it, I just don’t understand why he’s not more appreciated and applauded

        1. BrockLanders
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Not appreciated? Carragher just spend 90mins blowing his trumpet ffs

    16. fedolefan

      Bloody hell, get Son back up to 3 bonus.

      1. Royal5

        Doherty deserves them 🙂

      Better player Kane right now or Ronaldo in his peak?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Kane

      2. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Weghorst better than both

      3. just a man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Steady.

      4. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years

        Ronaldo is peak easily!!!

      5. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Is that even a question? Of course ronaldo at his peak.

      7. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        The one with the most trophies in his locker, Kane?

    19. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Triple Spurs attack over having Doherty didn't win today. Yet, Kane, Son and Kulusevski will outscore Doherty before the end of the season, I hope.

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Have Kane and Kulu already. And that's where my dilemma lies. Whether to go for Doherty or Son for the 3rd spurs spot.

    20. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Glad I didnt remove Son for Salah for a min 4.
      Watching liv was tough though!

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        well played. did what you avoided

        1. Free Hat
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Thx. Just seemed the most sensible thing to keep with new home, but ownership Salah is a scary thing.
          The min 4 did it for me in the end.

      2. nanxun
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Same here. Was so tempted to do surgery to get Kane in for Son, but sat tight instead.

    21. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Davies first on bench hurts unless Saka has s relapse

    22. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Perfect game for me as a doherty, son and Kulusevski owner. And kane non owner. Too bad i c out of form salah and only vc son

    23. dshv
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Maybe son caltain will be good option next week?

      Kane and Salah fails mean Weghorst(c) can still pay off

      Watched him play for the first time yesterday so not too confident

        Everton defence is crap, but so is the Burnley attack.

        Should be an truly awful contest. Unmissable.

      Got the exact funds to do Digne + Broja to Cancelo + Gelhardt for -4. Is it worth an early transfer to get it done or too risky with champs league midweek? or even worth the move at all?
