Son scores big haul despite missing penalty at Villa

Aston Villa 2-3 Spurs

  • Goals: Bjorn Engels (£4.4m) | Toby Alderweireld (£5.3m), Son Heung-min x2 (£10.0m)
  • Own Goals: Alderweireld
  • Assists: Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m), Jack Grealish (£6.7m) | Eric Dier (£4.8m), Davinson Sánchez (£5.3m)
  • Penalty saves: Pepe Reina (£4.5m)
  • Penalty misses: Son
  • Bonus Points: Son x3, Reina x2, Grealish x1

Son Heung-min (£10.0m) stepped up the case for his inclusion in Fantasy Premier League squads on Sunday afternoon as he scored 13 points in a 3-2 win at Aston Villa.

The South Korean has been a much-discussed alternative to Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m) when Manchester City’s fixture schedule turns for the worse and, on current form, he could be a great option to turn to.

Between Gameweeks 27 and 32, Pep Guardiola’s men have at least one Blank Gameweek and face Leicester (away), Manchester United (away), Burnley (home), Chelsea (away) and Liverpool (home). Meanwhile, Son, who now has four attacking returns in as many matches, averaging 7.8 points per game in that time, has a slightly kinder run of Wolves (home), Burnley (away), Manchester United (home), West Ham (home) and Sheffield United (away).

Crucially, Son’s performance against Aston Villa showed his serious potential as a centre-forward since Steven Bergwijn (£7.5m) joined Spurs in the January transfer window. As expected, the South Korean was handed the centre-forward role again, with Bergwijn and Lucas Moura (£7.1m) supporting him either side. Helped also by Dele Alli (£8.4m) in the number 10 role, Son racked up a handful of chances at Villa Park and arguably should have scored more points than he did.

Pepe Reina (£4.5m) denied several fierce efforts on goal from Son, especially in the second 45 minutes, when Spurs were pushing on to find a winner. The Aston Villa goalkeeper, who made seven saves on Sunday afternoon, also reduced Son’s score by saving his poor penalty on the stroke of half-time, that was bundled in by the Spurs man nonetheless.

Son was also let down by some profligate finishing from Alli in the opening period. He played the England international through on goal in the 34th minute, who hooked it wide when he really should have scored.

However, we may have to temper the enthusiasm surrounding Son in light of Aston Villa’s ongoing defensive problems. Dean Smith’s men came into Gameweek 26 still bottom of the league for shots conceded in the box and, despite besting Spurs for possession on Sunday (53.7% to 46.3%), they still allowed the visitors to dominate the shot count (23 to 18).

Villa were, of course, not helped in their efforts by the untimely absence of Tyrone Mings (£4.5m), the former Bournemouth man missing Gameweek 26 after falling ill with tonsillitis on Saturday. It is not known when he will return but, if he is not back for the trip to Southampton in Gameweek 27, Danny Ings (£7.0m) owners will surely be licking their lips.

“It’s a blow because (Mings) is a big player for us and he has been all season. He’s adapted really well to the Premier League. But he was ill yesterday so we knew he’d be missing. I’ve got Bjorn Engels who’s recently been called up to the Belgium squad so we’ve got strength in depth in that area.” – Dean Smith

Mings replacement on the day in Bjorn Engels (£4.4m) had a mixed afternoon but was ultimately to blame for both of Son’s goals, Danny Drinkwater (£4.4m) also turning in a poor performance. While Villa, and Engels himself, did a good job of throwing bodies in the way to block Spurs’ efforts in the first half, it was Engels’ poorly timed challenge on Bergwijn that led to the penalty, awarded after a rare controversy-free Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review.

Then, after scoring his first-ever Villa goal to make up for the first-half error and draw his side level, Engels handed the game to Spurs on a plate in second-half stoppage time. Davinson Sánchez (£5.3m) played a speculative ball over the top to Son, which should have been easy to clear, but Engels swung a tired boot at the pass, not getting enough purchase on it. That allowed the ball to run underneath the centre-back, straight to Son, who bore down on Reina and tucked the winner away.

“Listen, (Engels) is okay. He’s very disappointed because of the mistake of trying to bring the ball down as opposed to getting rid of it. If he puts it straight back it finishes 2-2. A big error, but they happen in games. He’ll get over it, that’s for sure.” – Dean Smith

Another defeat for Aston Villa should not put Fantasy managers off their attacking assets though, especially Jack Grealish (£6.7m). Smith’s men arguably deserved more from the game than they got as, for large spells, they dominated possession and asked questions of Spurs’ defence.

They found particular joy in the wide areas as Grealish asked questions of Serge Aurier (£5.0m), especially early on, picking up three fouls during the opening exchanges. In the 18th minute, Grealish stormed down the left flank and squared to Douglas Luiz (£4.4m), who should have scored and earned his captain an assist, but Ben Davies (£5.3m) flew in with an impressive block on his first outing since November.

Grealish, who pulled the strings all afternoon for Villa, eventually got a deserved assist in the 52nd minute when Engels headed home his corner. A six-point haul will certainly be enough to satisfy his 25.1% ownership and etch some regret onto the hearts of the 121,572 managers who sold him for Gameweek 26. However, those still in possession of Villa’s talismanic skipper still have to decide his role in their team over the next few weeks as, after the Southampton game, Grealish has a Blank Gameweek and faces Leicester (away) and Chelsea (home).

Also showing some consistency at home recently is Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m), who now has two attacking returns in his last three at Villa Park. The Dutchman enjoyed plenty of space behind the returning Davies on the right flank of Villa’s attack and got the assist for Toby Alderweireld‘s (£5.3m) own goal, as Spurs’ left-back did not significantly alter the destination of the cross with his deflection. El Ghazi also went close to scoring himself, unleashing a piledriving effort in the first-half, stinging the palms of Hugo Lloris (£5.3m) in the process.

“We looked on the front foot today. Certainly, we didn’t deserve to lose.” – Dean Smith

Aston Villa XI: Reina; Hause, Engels, Konsa; Targett, D Luiz, Drinkwater (Nakamba 59′), Guilbert; Grealish, Samatta (Baston 82′), El Ghazi (Trézéguet 69′).

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; B Davies, D Sánchez, Alderweireld, Aurier; Dier (Lo Celso 59′), Winks; Bergwijn (Vertonghen 90+5′), Alli (G Fernandes 82′), Moura; Son.

    Why Manchester City are really QUITE LIKELY to have a Double Gameweek in GW29

    1) As it stands, Manchester City have a maximum of 3 further rearranged fixtures to be accommodated this season.
    The only available dates at present are midweek of GW29, 34 and 37

    2) If Sheffield Wednesday beat MCI in the Cup, further blanks for MCI could still be caused by GW31 and GW34 opponents, Chelsea and Newcastle, depending on their progression through to Quarter Finals and Semi Finals respectively.
    5th Round results may clarify, but will the Premier League wait to confirm and (unnecessarily) give fans just 1wk notice?

    3) The Storm Ciara hit match between MCI and West Ham has already been rescheduled during GW26, ensuring that GW29 midweek is available - Clear intent that the slot is expected to be needed.

    4) If Olympiakos defeat Arsenal in Europa League, MCI v ARS in DGW29 ‘could’ be confirmed by the GW28 deadline.

    5) If ARS progress to next stage of Europa, Premier League schedulers may take a view ahead of GW28 and the FA Cup R5 matches, that the planned GW31 tie between CHE v MCI will be rescheduled forward to midweek of GW29.
    Alternatively, they may choose to wait and see how 5th Round FA Cup ties pan out for MCI, CHE and NEW.

    Likely scenario's

    (A) Arsenal lose v Olympiakos
    DGW29
    MCI v mun/ARS
    ARS v WHU/mci

    (B) Arsenal win v Olympiakos
    DGW29
    MCI v mun/che
    CHE v EVE/MCI

    (C) Man City lose v Sheff Wed
    Each of the above scenario’s would still be in play.
    If no decision on DGW29 taken prior to FA Cup 5th round, then DGW29 scheduling would be subject to CHE and NEW FA Cup progression.

      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Complete guesswork. BT may have agreed the West Ham game can be played in 26 to avoid it any clash with a CL 2nd leg in 29, which they would appear to have the right to do under the current MOU.

    Good evening guys, Can I have your thoughts. Would you get rid of Aguero after the WHU game. Surely limited minutes v Lei then a blank and CL in full swing.....also fixtures not great and CL main focus and I have KDB......Or do you keep the greatest striker in PL history for the last 8 years ?? I already have Ings and Jimenez.......

    1. Hitmonlee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Same boat here. I’ll keep if it looks like City have a double in 29. If not he’s gone

    Got 2FTs with nothing to do.

    Would you do Stevens to Egan to save some cash or keep Stevens?

    Next week is Auba and Grealish to Dcl and Son

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Means I can also do Hayden to Traore

    2. nolard

      Would stay away from Southampton defense.

  8. jorgenoj
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which option?

    A) Martial --> Son
    B) Lundstram --> Gomez

    Will be priced out of Son if he rises 0.2.

    On his gameweek 27 youtube video, Capkin Gaming has four Liverpool players on his team. I have Trent, Van Dyke & Salah. Just tried to provisionally transfer Mane in as well. Told me (in red) had too many players from one team. Didn't try to comlete the transfer. Am I missing a trick here & can the warning message be ignored or has Capkin Gaming discovered a cheat?

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years

      If I was to take an absolutely wild guess I would suggest you are this ‘capkin Gaming’ trying to drum up more interest in the channel.

      That's the transfers page, not his actual team.

      The only way to have 3+ players from one team is to own a player prior to them moving to a team where you have 3 players.

    B - Holgate/Cathcart > Bellerin/Doherty
    C - Deeney/Vardy - Jimenez
    D - Dendoncker > Richarlison
    E - Guaita > Patricio

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

    Henderson McCarthy
    TAA VVD Stevens Lascelles Taylor
    Salah KDB richarlison Grealish Hayden

    I assume after today Pepe is essential. Easy straight swap for KDB

  18. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years

    So.. Vardy (2), Maddison (2) > Ings (7), Son (13) turned out to be a little bit good 😆

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years

      Should've brought in Pepe

      1. IRBOX ⚽

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          if I'd stuck with Son(C) rather than changing to Jimenez (don't ask) I'd be having a cracking GW with 4 to play!

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah to Mane would have paid of as well

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Incorrect as would have meant -4 and leaves me with an inferior asset

            Another element is that he’s my differential on my mini league leader which I’m trailing by about 35 points. He’s got traore, I’ve got Jiménez so if Wolves score I should pick up points.....

            Saints were awful defensively v Burnley....

            Tough choice!

          I've stuck with Martial myself, they're coming those points, they are!

      Grealish

      I'd play Traore

        Does me owning Jiménez change anything for you?

        Also my mini league leader doesn’t own Grealish, so he’d be a nice differential for me vs his traore?

    Who to play?

    Pope
    TAA Gomez Boly Egan Lascelles
    KDB Salah Redmond Barnes Cantwell
    Aguero Jiminez Ings

    Will lose Redmond alongside Aguero before 28 so need to play one of Cantwell, Barnes or Lascelles?

    Want to get Son in but I can’t decide the best way to do so.

    Team currently is

    Henderson. McCarthy

    TAA, Gomez, Stevens, Holgate, Cathcart

    Salah, KdB, Grealish, Traore, Hayden

    Aguero, Auba, Ings

    2FT 0.3itb

    Way I see it is three options...

    A - Traore & Aguero -> Son & Jimenez

    B - Hayden & Aguero -> Son & DCL

    C - Traore & Auba -> Son & DCL

    1. fgdu

      aguero out makes the most sense. Jiminez is playing Norwich. You probably want DCL though at some point.

    Limping along so would appreciate any insight here. I can see a hit in all likelihood.

      Save. No need for a hit.
      Then you'll have 2 for the blank week

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Vardy > Jimi
      Martial > barnes
      Options.

      id be tempted to get richarlison for martial

    Grealish to Son or keep for one more week?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep for another then ship for his blank.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      I think just keep Grealish tbh, I have Alli and Grealish. Was considering Grealish> Son but think I will just do Alli> Son after Chelsea.

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Defo do Alli to Son soon.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Pretty keen on Alli and Son double up tbh, but Alli feels a luxury and his returns dont feel enough. Today tho he had so many chances, he is always a 13 pointer waiting to happen, like vs Chelsea I reckon Alli can probably haul. The things going agsint Alli is;
          Low ownership - Not having him wont hurt me (is a diff imo, but an over-priced one)
          Mid spots too valuable, going to back to Grealish again. I already got Traore, Grealish, KDB, Salah and Alli. All has to be the weakest link when you look at it from a value point, and even ignoring value Son or Mane or just better.

          I want a sixth mid spot, looks like i'll be going 2 up front. Jimi and Ings

  27. have you seen cyan

    44 points with just KDB cap left, on for a green we reckon? Literally miniscule red currently 82,478 - 82,998

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      So long as he gets a return, yes

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        KDB cap feels good, if he hauls yay! Havent made a good cap choice for 4/5 weeks now

    WWYD? My initial plan was Son to Mané but a bit confused rn.

    Can do Williams to VvD but that way my defense would become too strong.

    Season high rank, feels nice to be progressing, be happy with my team and have the wildcard, BB and FT in the back pocket. Heard to hoping KDB punishes his doubters Wednesday. In ever know what team Pep will roll out.
