Reguilon makes bench but Alli and Saint-Maximin miss out on Spurs v Newcastle

Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) isn’t involved in the Newcastle United squad for the Magpies’ clash with Tottenham Hotspur, which is the second of four Premier League fixtures to take place on Sunday.

Kick-off in north London is at 14:00 BST.

The French winger was a doubt for this match with an ankle injury he picked up in the defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion but had been pictured in full training on Friday, raising hopes of a swift recovery.

Jamal Lewis (£4.5m), who took a blow to the eye in that Gameweek 2 defeat, is only fit enough for a place on the bench, meanwhile.

Matt Ritchie (£5.0m), Miguel Almiron (£5.9m) and Joelinton (£5.9m) all make their first league starts of the season, having shone in Newcastle’s 7-0 win over Morecambe in midweek.

Andy Carroll (£5.5m) is the other player to make way.

The team news is a lot more straightforward from a Spurs point of view, with Jose Mourinho making only one change from their 5-2 win at Southampton last weekend.

Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m) comes into midfield in place of Tanguy Ndombele (£6.0m), with the Frenchman only among the substitutes.

Dele Alli (£7.7m) and the injured Gareth Bale (£9.5m) aren’t in the squad but there is a place on the bench for new signing Sergio Reguilon (£5.5m) following his move from Real Madrid.

Son Heung-min (£9.1m) and Harry Kane (£10.5m), unsurprisingly, keep their places following last weekend’s monster FPL hauls.

Son was the most-bought midfielder of Gameweek 3, with just under one million Fantasy managers recruiting the South Korea international.

Kane and Son are the fourth and fifth most-popular captaincy picks for this round of games.

Only Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.9m) suffered more sales than Saint-Maximin ahead of Saturday’s deadline, meanwhile.


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Doherty, Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Hojbjerg, Winks, Lo Celso, Lucas, Son, Kane.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Manquillo, Fernandez, Lascelles, Ritchie, Hayden, Shelvey, Almiron, Hendrick, Joelinton, Wilson.

      Easy watch , Spurs are terrible

      1. Piggs Boson

        3 years, 6 months ago

        Almost scored.

      Don't watch it, hope for a Steve Bruce masterclass

        Only way to learn is to watch it.

          and draw all the wrong conclusions!

      Who would have thought we would be scared of Mou attackers.
      Even more dangerous with Bale soon

    4. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm with you. Better just to start doing something else, not to think about FPL and then only check how many goals Son scored 😉

      I'm an absolute sucker for anti-FPL (hoping assets I DON'T OWN blank and being stubborn about it) but in all seriousness just have concentrate on your own assets doing well with so many options.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, for sure. I still have KDB(C), Sterling, Salah, TAA, Jimenez etc... Not bad players!

  7. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years

  8. Hotdogs for Tea

  9. Hiroku
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    My bench: KWP and Ayling, 12 points.
    My starting eleven: 13 points from 4 players.

    It do be like that sometimes.

  10. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    One big Newcastle bus

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Jose will be impressed by the opposition bus

  11. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    no high line for Son to exploit this week, just rubbish players

  12. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If you are bringing in one of the everton boys right now, which will you go for

    DCL @7.4, Richa @8.0 ?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      DCL

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Dcl

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Still DCL

    4. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      DCL. Cheaper, plays more centrally..

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Has scored 5 from open play. Without yesterday’s pen, Richarlison would still be goal less this year

  13. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Park that bus please

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Kane header saved

  15. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Reguilon already on the bench, matter of time before he replaces Davies?

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Davies to LCB 343

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I have slight hope for this, but realsitically the 3 would be Sanchez, Dier, Alder

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I'm actually selling this week.

          1. Alisson WondHaaland
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If not by GW5 certainly after the internationals

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      in front of 5 TV every weekend, he revealed it as I remember

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      premature ..

  19. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bet nobody has Darlow then!

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would've started with him had he been 4.5

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Newcastle have put out the bendy bus

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Got the face masks over there eyes when on said bus.

      It's been 8 minutes...

  22. OPTA FPL

    Parking the bus already

  23. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kane could have had a brace already...

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      should*

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        not "should", football has a keeper standing within the sticks.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Darlow could keep his place at this rate!

  24. L'Aeroplanino
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kane close

  25. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Might have to find ways to get Kane in soon

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not for me hoping Son feeds of his work 1.5m cheaper plus clean sheets.

  26. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    look how neat and toidy newcastle are at the back

  27. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Are Leeds signing Cantwell? Nice.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      why nobody go for Buendia??

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Strange,great player

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah they're keen to get him due to his man bun potential

    3. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think so, fits nicely in their system. Not quite a CAM and not quite a winger. Would suit the role Harrison played today.

  28. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Newcastle 16% possession.

    Still won 1-0 last season with similar

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Have gone full Rafa-equese!

  29. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hoping for a typical Mourinho performance vs. a deep sitting defense

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not looking good!

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ok
