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.

    This season has been pretty unique imo with so much value available. You could have an amazing team with easily 3-4mil in the bank, too name a few:
    Entire blades defence and Fleck, Cantwell, Entire Newcastle defence, Boly, Ings, Traore, Grealish, Rico(at least he gets mins), Kelly, Taylor, Gomez, and possibles which might arise like Tangaga, Bergwjin, Williams, and ofc Chelsea players if they pull their socks up.

    Theres valid arguments to take on all types of formation to utilise some of these players. Even 5 at the back incorporating Gomez, TAA, Boly, Lascelles and Taylor/ a blade is a go some weeks.

    I like playing from a value point of view, but with so much about its hard to know what route to take. I guess for now take advantage of it and have an amazing, yet cheap and flexible bench allowing switching between formations and blanks easily.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      some weeks im playing 4/5 at the back for sure

    2. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Agree. I used my GW19 WC to make the best value, cheap team. Had £6m ITB w form players and then was able to upgrade whoever when I wanted when I wanted. Think it is probably too late to do it again w GW32 WC.

    3. noquarternt

      Vardy Mahrez and Morgan in every team, Bale and Kane cheap years etc, happens more than we remember.

      1. have you seen cyan

        Some seasons, in regards to defence this year it really feels a one off. Only big side we considering 4 defence is Pool, you dont get that scenario all too often where the smaller teams excelling in that area and the bigger teams proving a total waste of money

  4. Big boy Bowen

    Any other teams who could blank in GW28 apart from:

    Arsenal

    With plenty ITB and already have Salah & TAA, would you swap Grealish out for Son or Mane? (After GW27)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane yes Son no

    Pepe is definitely one to look at going forwards and after. I will be looking at him after the blank. Well done to those who got him in.

    Find it interesting people are casually discounting what Pepe did today because it was "only newcastle". Also Arsenal winning 4-0 is irrelevant because newcastle are apparently rubbish. Wasn't there a rush to get Newcastle defenders in last week? 🙄

    He definitely needed a confidence boost and a run in the side and he needs to play under the tactics used in the second half. I think the tactical switch at half time to move Auba to a second striker definitely helped. It was very clear Arsenal were lacking attacking threat. Saka and Auba wasn't quite working, it was limiting Auba's attacking capability as Saka would constantly charge forwards with Auba having to cover, even finding himself in the left back position a couple of times.

    When the switch was made it made Saka free down that side of the pitch, Auba found himself in the box alongside Nketiah. More bodies in the box created more problems and helped Pepe as he now had more options.

    GW 29-33 will be interesting, a good run of fixtures

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years

      70m

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I brought Auba and Pepe in 2 weeks ago to play for fun. Sometimes lightning strikes where you want it to.

      If you want differentials, Arsenal’s fixtures are tasty and the team appear (I’m apprehensive as we’ve been here before) to be getting things together.

      Blanks are annoying, but add to the ‘differentialness’

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Which Arsenal? The one that was outplayed by Newcastle first half, or the one that came to life as Newcastle’s backline collapsed at 1-0. Arsenal looked clueless up until then.

  8. School of Poch

      You've got 5 blankers for 28.
      Start fixing them.
      I'd keep Grealish this week.
      Maybe move Lund and Auba on this week and Grealish next.
      Jimi a good Auba replacement, to free up funds for a good Grealish upgrade,

  11. have you seen cyan

    I know some of you already think Lundstram is done as an FPL asset, but next season he truly will be done.
    6.0/6.5 mid?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds about right

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

        Assuming next season he is a starter, 5.5 would be fair and wouldnt totally destroy him as an asset. 6.0 or more is too much with the loss of CS, but they are terrible at pricing players, so he will be 6.0+ for sure and finished 🙁

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, 6.5 mid, 0.6% owned. Just like another midfielder who is now Groß-ly overpriced.

            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yea 5.87 lol, oh well. Danny let me down 🙁
            Reasons why I bet;
            - His first goal for Spurs was vs Arsenal
            - Danny is a Spurs fan and hates Arsenal
            -Danny wrote on twitter the other day about his debut goal vs Arsenal for Spurs and how he was keen to score for Newcastle vs them as well, he even said he had been practicing his finishing lately in anticipation of it.

            Thats enough me, im pretty superstitious and thats easily enough for me to back someone

            1. have you seen cyan

              I actually make quite alot of fantasy calls based on what players say on social media and to the press, it pays off alot tbh.
              Like when a player addreses, his drop in form publically, like that they should be doing better for instance, this kind of statement normally bears fruit

                Not 100% water tight tho, as proved by Rose today and Ings early in the season when Ings told people to TC him in that 11-0 mauling lmao. No I didnt TC Danny 4 that haha
                Didnt actually see the game, wonder if Rose had many chances. Probably will net in the next few I would suspect

    Alli and Maddison shoulda just been benched this weekend, partied and stuff way too much in Dubai or wherever. Alli was never going to have a Stellar performance today, was Maddison bad? I didnt really watch the Leicester game but no doubt Maddison was a yard off it. They are nearly in the Martial/Lingard zone

        Form over fixtures. No blank

      2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 7 Years

        Will also do Hayden to Traore or similar to rotate with dcl

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Having both Richarlison + DCL is too much given the fixtures none the less. I don't see them scoring that much at all. One can argue the price of DCL makes it worth keeping him. But both? Not in my book

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in a similar situation -- need to do a triple move over 2 weeks to get rid of 3 players with blanks in GW28 (in my case it's Auba + Fleck + Stevens -> Son + DCL + Boly).

      My original thought was to do the MID/FWD double move first and then the defender move next week. But now I'm thinking I might do it in the same order you are suggesting.

      I really have no idea. What's your thinking for why you prefer the defender move first? Just the fixtures?

    What to do with this team?

    WC last GW. Old team would be on 59 with KDB to play.

    New team has 44 points with KDB and Aguero to play.

    I can't recall any of my WC teams in the past smashing it.

      Happens

        If you have (K)un your wildcard may be successful

  23. SuperMane Returns

    I'm on 59 with KDB (c) left to play.

    How do I get Jimenez into this team?

    Ryan
    TAA VvD Pereira Boly
    Salah KDB Son Grealish
    Vardy Ings
    Button Cantwell Rico Maupay

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Periera or Grealish to cheapie

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        or just lose Vardy

        1. Pigeon
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Surely he starts scoring again during that good run of fixtures though?

          I was thinking Maupay and KDB out but I'm hesitant lol

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            That would work. Losing Maupay is the best way for sure.

            1. Pigeon
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Think losing KDB is viable at this stage?

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                No risk, no reward. Really depends on the replacement too.

                1. Pigeon
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  Adama Traore lol, will be upgrading Grealish for the blank too

  25. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who you think will score more points next GW?

    A) Son - che
    B) Traore - NOR

    (next GW only)

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      B

  26. seewhyaxe

    I know Grealish fixtures are bad, but really losing him when he's looking like the best player on the field for Villa seems odd.

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

      I know how you feel, the blank has given us the perfect excuse though imo and whilst he has shown capable of getting points against most teams it really is an ordinary run of fixtures coming up. It's all about who we replace him with really.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Personally I really don't see anyone I want at that price point so I might as well keep him through the blank.

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

          Barnes/Perez have a very kind fixture run, Traore if you don't already have him.

          1. Greek Freak
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I'd probably only be tempted by Traore out of those three, but I'd still prefer Grealish long-term. There's a lot of value tied up in Grealish. so that kind of clinches it for me, Traore may be tempting but not tempting enough.

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

              Fair enough mate and could prove a wise decision, I only have 0.2 tied up in him so not the end of the world for me.

      2. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I already have Traore, so I don't have any other good replacements at this price point

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Owner here and no way he leaves for me.

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        probably keeping too.

    3. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tricky isn’t it. He’s a good price to keep though and I’m sure he’ll be popping up with the odd goal or assist here and there still.

    4. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Agree on his form, but fixtures do look rather grim. I'm keeping this week then binning him for 28, as I can afford to upgrade him to Mane or Son

  27. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Losing Kevin De bruyne and Greenwood for Traore and Jimmy for a hit to give me

    McCarthy
    Rico Trent VVD Lundy Soya
    Son Traore Martial Salah Grealish
    Vardy Jimmy Ings

    Bench A midfielder ?

    1. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      bench martial

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

        Against Watford? No chance

  28. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1FT 0.4ITB
    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA Egan Digne* (Soy Tangaga)
    Salah Mane KDB Grealish (Hayden)
    Jimenez Vardy* DCL*

    Obvious absentee is Ings. DCL, Digne > Ings Boly? Vardy looks to have gone cold but nice fixtures coming up so tempted to hold.

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

      Vardy to Ings for me

  29. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What transfers would you guys make? 2FT 0.1m itb

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Aurier
    Salah Son Grealish Martial
    Auba DCL Maupay

    Heaton Lundstrom Cantwell Kelly

    Looking at getting Ings in but not sure how. Thanks!

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Any other moves you'd consider? Like Jimenez or Mane?

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

      Downgrade Aurier and upgrade Maupay?

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Would need a 3.8m def and then Lundy is a blank and starting risk.

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

          Fair enough, doesn't really work then.

    3. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Martial to Traore, Maupay to Ings possible?

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, been looking at that move. Fixture wise next two I do prefer Martial though.

  30. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Think I will do Auba > Ings for 27 and potentially let KDB sit on the bench in 28. Depending on MCI DGW news I could use 2 FT to get Kun in 29.

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Surely Kun is getting a heavy amount of PL bench time in the next few weeks.
