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.

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

    Kane is elite

  11. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I'd take a one eyed Jamal Lewis over Matt Ritchie. He is beyond awful

  12. ELTACTICO
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kane is a machine, I would not want to be watching him play as a non owner!

    My rank is going down down down...

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’m 3.2m and sinking... nobody in this game and captained Werner. Ffs

      1. fish&chips
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        5m and no one in this game

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah we having a stinker mate

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

        Werner wasnt a very good captain pick. Kevin will kill you later...

  14. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kane will go back to playing CDM when we all get him

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That's why we don't get him

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

      Not anymore

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He'll come good but cheaper strikers will too so no reason to have him. Go big in midfield

      Do you watch games at all? You seem to play fpl like the angry man trying to eat the soup with a fork! 😀

  15. Gabbiadini

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Darlow the next Emi Martinez... no longer staying around as a no.2 if these performances continue.

  17. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Newcastle should be thankful they got Darlow in goal than Kepa .. would be 3-4 down otherwise

      I think the Beatles wrote a song about him -

      Dear Podence - won't you come out to play?

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

        A +1 for lateral thinking 🙂

  20. DAZZ

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Great lol, been priced out of Werner to Kane

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      From one POO to another?

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

      Why didn't you do it last night?

      fpl statistics price site.

      Lots of other cheap options Jimenez. Ings, Bamford, Richarlison etc

    Anyone know if the final adjustments have been made to the SHU-LEE game? Wondering if Ramsdale has a shot at a bap.

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

      4 Leeds players ahead, though very tight.

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

    Surely the likes of Salah, Sterling, & KDB can outscore Kane.

    Still not convinced he's worth investing in given the alternative big hitters...

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same reasoning here for me

    2. Harry the Hack
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Odds are they will. It's why you also have to pay more for them.

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

      Of course. He has only shone against Saints and Newcastle. The aforementioned players are yet to play this dross.

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

      Aye but for brief periods he will outscore all of them. Can you time it though ?

      1. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Great to see that we agree that he will be behind overall.

    Currently, baps shared by Moura, Hojberg and Darlow. The 3 owners will be thrilled.

      Only 6 points between them.
