Son scores again but Spurs fortunate to beat Newcastle

Son Heung-min (£8.6m) solidified his place on the Fantasy Premier League radar as he scored the winning goal in Double Gameweek 25’s opening match.

Spurs left it late once again, but in beating Newcastle they continued their attempts to stay relevant in the top flight title race – and are still yet to draw a league match this season.

The exploits of their South Korean star is the focus of this latest Scout Notes article.

Spurs 1-0 Newcastle

Goals: Son Heung-min (£8.6m)

Assists: Fernando Llorente (£5.7m)

Son continued his excellent run of form on Saturday lunch-time although was somewhat fortunate to get a second goal since his return from the Asian Cup. The South Korean is now averaging 8.9 points per appearance in his last 12 Premier League outings, a truly staggering level of consistency, but came close to blanking against Newcastle. His manager Mauricio Pochettino had no complaints about Son though, as his chances of starting matches, amid questions over his energy levels, strengthen with each passing Gameweek.

“It’s about him, it’s because of him. He works so hard, always pushing, never gives up. He try, try, try. He’s like in his effort with and without the ball, he’s very regular and consistent and that is most important. Sonny is like when you have a battery, you work work work and then the battery is gone. He is like this, he gives you everything and when he’s exhausted he says ‘I need to change’ or needs to rest. He’s like this. Always on the pitch, he’s 100 per cent in every action without or without the ball. That is the most important thing, it’s a very good example for everyone, watching him play. Of course, after the first season, he understood what we expected of him. He’s now if you see him, he’s one of the players who is always moving on the pitch, trying to get the best position in defensive and offensive situations. Always giving options to team-mates, running forward, dropping and then arriving from the second line. He is a very complete player today and we are so happy with his performance.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino made the surprise decision of using neither Son nor Fernando Llorente (£5.7m) in a centre-forward role at Wembley Stadium, with Lucas Moura (£6.8m) asked to lead the line instead. It took a series of bad misses in the first half from the Brazilian to convince Pochettino to shift Son into a more central role, but across the course of the afternoon, only one of his five efforts on goal was on target. That was the one that found the net, which only did so because of a catastrophic error from Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka (£5.0m).

Son was substituted in the 88th minute, with the result looking fairly secure by that point. The South Korean seems likely to start every week now that he has settled back into a Premier League routine, his owners encouraged by the fact he came through a period of supposed fatigue with two starts.

“No, no (it was not a risk to play Son). When we assess him, when I asked this guy [points to his assistant manager Jesus Perez] if he’s fully recovered or not and the medical staff, the sports science team and all the data and assessment was very positive, a full recovery yesterday and that’s why he played. Another player maybe didn’t start or was on the bench.” – Mauricio Pochettino

It was a mixed afternoon for the 2.7% of Fantasy managers in possession of Llorente. It was indeed strange that he did not start the match, even in light of his bad misses against Watford. Spurs’ plan for much of the game was to play high balls into the box, but Moura and Erik Lamela (£6.1m), playing on the right of attacking midfield, were simply not good enough in the air, their efforts regularly off-target. It begged the question why Llorente was on the bench with the added height he could have offered.

Coming into Gameweek 24, Newcastle ranked 17th in the league for headed attempts conceded, also bottom for shots allowed in set-piece situations. Spurs clearly targeted this weakness in the Magpies’ play but did so using probably the wrong players. Across the 90 minutes, Pochettino’s men had 16 shots in the box and six big chances but were accurate with just two efforts.

Once Llorente did take to the field, as a 60th-minute replacement for Moura, Spurs had a bit more about them in the air. In fact, the former Swansea City man ended the lunch-time encounter with more shots in the box than any other player despite playing just half an hour. He got his assist for laying off to Son in the 82nd minute.

Whether Llorente starts against Leicester in Gameweek 26 is very much still uncertain at this point. As already explained, a home match against Newcastle seemed custom-made for a player of Llorente’s abilities, and yet he still had to settle for just a substitute’s appearance.

Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) had a much better game on Saturday than he did against Watford midweek. He came out of the Newcastle match as the top creator, playing six key passes in the course of the game. Had his colleagues been more accurate with their shooting, the Danish international might have scored more than his three points.

Pochettino went with a back-four for the game initially, surprisingly naming Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) at left-back and leaving Danny Rose (£5.8m) on the bench. It was thought that with an injury to Ben Davies (£5.6m) that the England international would get a second start of the week, but he was used just in the last 12 minutes. From that point, Spurs set up with a back three and lined up in the 3-5-2 formation used against Watford, with Son and Llorente a front pairing.

Newcastle offered little in the way of a genuine goal threat, with just three shots in the penalty box all afternoon, but that was clearly never a priority for Rafa Benitez. He set his Magpies side up in the 5-4-1 formation he has favoured recently, making no changes from the XI that beat Manchester City midweek. While Spurs were able to create plenty of chances against them, Newcastle were well organised and will consider themselves unlucky not to come away with a point, especially as the only goal they conceded came from a goalkeeper error. Either way, their performance, coupled with Tuesday night’s win, proves that Newcastle are exactly the sort of team that can cause problems to big clubs with their patient defensive capabilities.

“We did well for a while in the first half. We had chances in the second half and after that, they were pushing and pushing and then you have to be a bit better on the ball to ensure that you go through. They were pushing us really hard and we were defending well. The problem for us is conceding this kind of goal. It is one we could have avoided.” – Rafa Benitez

There was a debut for new defender Antonio Barreca (£4.5m), as he came on for Matt Ritchie (£5.8m) in the 86th minute. His arrival may allow the Scottish winger to play higher up the pitch and return to his creative role for the side, having operated as a left wing-back in recent matches.

Midfielder Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) was unable to play any part with his visa yet to be sorted but Benitez is confident that will be concluded this week in time for him to face Wolves.

“He can help. Barreca too. We have different kind of players with pace and when you have competition it is always good for the team.” – Rafa Benitez

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Sánchez, Trippier; Winks, Sissoko; Son (Dier 88′), Eriksen, Lamela (Rose 78′); Moura (Llorente 60′).

Newcastle United XI (5-4-1): Dubravka; Ritchie (Barreca 86′), Lejeune, Lascelles, Schär, Yedlin; Atsu (Kenedy 82′), Hayden, Longstaff, Pérez; Rondón.

      Looks good

  5. No Professionals

    Idea for new chip... auto captain. Captains your highest scoring player at the end of the gw. For that week when you're just not sure.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      ...and fields your highest scoring players. Would be a nice chip that!

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Can only play it 38 times.

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Sounds good

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They had that in the fantasy world cup game, worked quite well but does take the gamble out of the captaincy, not sure it should be implemented tbh.

    3. Bird Raymond
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't there used to be a cheat for this? You could ask to have your most expensive player or your top scoring player overall as captain if you couldn't bothered choosing one. I'm sure that if you chose your top scoring player to be captain in week one you ended up with the top scorer from the gameweek.

      1. McEwan
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Wasn’t it for your vice captain? Could either do most expensive or by form. Wasn’t a default to the highest gw player

        1. Bird Raymond
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yes that's it. In week 1 the form was their score in week one, so automatically defaulted to the highest scoring player in week one if I remember rightly.

  6. LÖrKingMuch
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba's price dropped overnight. Hasn't even played yet. Why are people selling him now, thought his knock was nothing? Is it just to get Son in?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Injury doubt so casuals dump for Son etc.
      I guess

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Flag has remained even though OGS said he was ok.

  7. dhirst
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Predictions for today’s games?

    I’m feeling a draw between Leicester and United 1-1, City to win 3-1

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Think Utd might scrape 2-1
      Think 3-1 sounds about right for city.
      Maybe 4-1 city

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2-1 Utd, 3-0 Citeh

  8. El Lobito 10
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I don't remember a season like this for how difficult it is to climb the ranks. My theory is two-fold. One, the scout spoon-feeds the kind of insight that most players would otherwise miss, the kind of thing that only certain players see (upcoming trends, players hitting form and so forth). Two, there is rarely a player like Salah who, outside of the top six matches, scores in almost every single game. This year we know he can do that for certain and so permanent captain Salah has developed at mass scale. Added to predictable Salah, players like Robertson, Son and Aubameyang have demonstrated bankable consistency over the season, leading to a mass-adopted template team that may differ slightly, but otherwise points totals remain more or less similar, resulting in it being very tough to get consistent green arrows.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think it’s this website but also Twitter, if you look on there, everyone is converging in transferring in the same few players every week.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, sounds about right. Although ffs less so for me. The official scout page is the one.

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ps. This is not a criticism of Mark by the way, it's an inevitable progression of a game who's popularity is exploding. Also, while scout picks existed before, it's proliferated so much in recent seasons where we are essentially told what to do week in, week out. It certainly takes away from the game for me.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Whose*

    3. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You can add to this players : Rashford, Pogba, Jiminez, Doherty and you have almost 11 players template.

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Choosing a differential Captain is only way imo to do that. When you are sure about that obviously.
      Like Auba vs Cardiff, next gw hudds etc.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes but this is likely to result in red arrows. Salah consistency is unbeatable as a captain.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed.
          Risk & reward. It becomes boring though. To Captain a single player every week tbh

        2. DandyDon
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I haven’t had Rashford, Doherty, Robertson all season and have stayed in top 1k. There are different ways to play the game and do well, the differential element to my team is key. Saying that I totally get your point, if I am missing one player it will be a red arrow then next week I’ll get a slight green and seems to have been that rotation all season after the first few weeks!

      2. LeicesterA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It’s the same every year now and essentially, it’s all about your start now. Pick a good team for the first few weeks, you’re set. Before long, a template forms and gains, both in points and TV, are hard to achieve.

        Doherty - AWB - Robertson
        Pogba - Salah - Sane - Son
        Rashford - Auba - Jiminez

        Let’s be honest. Pretty much all of us, will have most, if not all, of these players in the next week or so.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Completely agreed.

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Kinda boring, but hard to do anything about.

    5. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      There are still ways to climb the rankings imo. I haven't owned your mentioned Robertson, Auba or Son at all this season, sitting inside 15K. I also think the fpl scout is usually late to the party, usually it recommends players after they've already scored in easy fixtures. This site however predicts these runs before everyone else has jumped on.

  9. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Interestingly I'm still expecting my Hazard out transfer to pay off.

    Son did his bit.
    I just need Aguero to outscore Arnautovic...

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hope Kun starts

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You are still in the denial phase

      1. darth_valdes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not really right? Son got 11 points for him already.

      2. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hehe that's one way of putting it I suppose...

        I have just remembered Hazard is the second highest scorer in the game at the moment... So yeah I am starting to regret

      3. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Tbf he has city, blank then spurs in the next 3 so it should almost certainly pay off medium term.

        1. DandyDon
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          If your smart you held off til after this week though!

    3. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is Arnie going to play? Probably depends who your 1st sub is.

      Also who would you have captained pre and post move?

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Probably Salah, but now Aguero

  10. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    D.silva to Son a no brainer this week?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      looks good

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Think so

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

  11. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If Leeds come up we may get inside knowledge on 19 Premiership starting lineups.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      😀
      He can even charge the fpl managers around

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I bet he has a patreon account.

    2. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Been watching leeds for the past few seasons and this has been a real topsy turvy season. Hopefully, they recover their horrific form currently and continue maintaining the automatic promotion spot..

      If there's anything to go by honestly, Bielsa should stop announcing his teams way in advance. They have lost almost 80% of their games in which he announced the teams recently. The sense of surprise is gone.

  12. sovietrockettes

    Thinking of Hazard>Camarasa, Ings>Aubameyang for a -4.

    Yay or nae?

    Should devote a rough with the smooth article to OR no. 2 for his Digne captaincy. Be fun if he plays and hauls vs City.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I’d love him to play and get a zero pointer. Would be class and everything he deserves.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Personally hoping it's benchwankery gone wrong. Fingers crossed he thought the red flag & suspension applied across the entire GW.

      • 9 Years

      Yeah can't figure out what happened?

      Was he been a smart arse coz he's no 2?

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        As he made no transfers, I assume he forgot to pick his team.

        1. camarozz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but why would he have Digne capt in the first place?

      2. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He got a green arrow sofar!

    4. jtreble

    What would you do if fantasy Premier league was no more?

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Leave my apartment

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems

      Delight. Quitting (again) after this season.

    3. Amey

      I don't know, but would miss fpl for sure.

    4. La Roja

        I for one am consumed by it all season. Constantly checking ffs, the comments etc.

        Can't imagine it gone. Sad way to be I guess.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          wont be sad after drinking

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah.
            Close your eyes and feel the Rollercoaster 😀

    5. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years

      Start LaLiga Fantasy, or any other league thats available

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Would be boring. I really don't like Laliga.

    6. Naboo

      Opiates

    Is Digne's price locked?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  19. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any midfielder not named Salah,Pogba to Son is a No-brainer right ??

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Depends. I wouldn't do Jota to him for instance. Otherwise yeah.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ohh. Add him to the list 🙂

  20. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    any last minute news on Pogba?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He travelled with the squad.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        awesome

  21. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Going to do Sane to Son for GW26.
    Which other move would you do besides that
    A) success to Jimenez/Batshuayi
    B) Puncheon to Jota

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A with jimmy

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jimenez definitely.

  22. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Have 1 FT, 2.0 ITB

    A) Richarlison -> Son
    B) Firmino -> Aubameyang

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A firmino is playing Bournemouth

  23. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best max 5.2m mid ? Thinking JWP or moutibho?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Correct thinking.
      Wait till midweek fa cup replay of Wolves. If they go out pick up Moutinho. Will Play in bgw31 then

      1. Ohh1454
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Good advice thanks

  24. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    For the foreseeable future who would you rather have?

    A) Rondon (3-4-3)

    or

    B) Jota (3-5-2)

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one but probably B playing in a better and more attacking team

  25. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is it silly to consider swapping Aguero to Jiménez instead of Auba?

    The man is unbelievable value

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldnt want to be going in to gw 27 without aubameyang. He'll clean up in the captaincy poll.

      Should find a way to get both.

  26. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If you have all your chips left what’s the best plan of attacking do people think?

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Guac. Maybe some salsa.

  27. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Triple wolves too much??
    Currently have Doherty and Jota.
    Want Jeminez up top with Auba and Rashford but will give myself a benching headache altho would be great for a bench boost down the line.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Run of the fixtures is great

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No, they’re all good value in their own right and have the fixtures to sustain it

    3. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jeminez. Made me laugh.

      I’m probably going triple Wolves. With Jonny joining Doherty and Jimi.

      Had Pat, Jota and Jimi GW1. Was too ahead of the curve.

    4. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldnt want to be starting 3 every week, but Jimenez and Doherty, plus Jonny as rotation feels good

    Do you have a friend who DIDNT make the FPL Cup?

    If yes, please send me their ID. Cheers!

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I got knocked out last week 🙁

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I meant, a guy who havent even entered the cup... 🙂

        Cheers, tho!

  29. Numb

    Surprised there isn’t more talk about Suarez given his price and fixtures.

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Luiz? 😮

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Luiz?

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's just the uncertainty of how he'll fit in, coupled with so many excellent midfield options already there.

  30. abaalan
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any reason not to do Hazard + Barnes -> Auba + McNeil/Westwood today?

    (Also own Richarlison and Sterling who will blank 27)

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What's the point in doing this today?

      Hazard & Auba's prices won't change tonight, will they?

      1. abaalan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        barnes/jimenez/rashford .... so not really.

        Yeh i dont intend to tongiht, but there's no reason not to do early in the week (before price rises) i.e. no midweek games etc

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Won't sell Barnes.
      No other option ??
