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.

    So Mourinho brought the goals posts back from Macedonia.

    Son usless against a team that defends deep

    All the casuals got him in after last week with no understanding of football.

    If u had him before the soton game then fair play but mew owners deserve a blank

      stop talking kak. He has hit the post multiple times.

      1. Nightcrawler

        Posts are shots off target

          did I say anything about SoT. No. Carrying on watching Barney.

            Moving on time 🙂

        2. Debauchy
          • 11 Years

          ok , does not substantiate your argument though

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

        So did Werner... but he's rubbish apparently?

    2. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Had him all season.

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

      Useless? He’s almost got 2 goals

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

        If only almost counted

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

          Should be half points for post hit at least

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

          Not the point. The point was he was ineffective against teams who sit back

          He’s been dangerous

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

            No read my second comment. I meant it like in a longing if only. Damn yeah i read it again and it looks bad :p sorry bout that

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

              I got Son in 2 of my draft leagues

      2. Crouchy
        • 12 Years

        'almost'

      Are you okay?

      1. Nightcrawler

        Im just annoyed i sold bruno for him

        1. Piggs Boson

          • 11 Years

          Don't blame you for being annoyed. Timing is key

        3. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Type of move a casual would make

    5. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You don't half post some rubbish mate.

    6. PepTalk

      You sound like great company

    7. socho
      • 6 Years

      yeah when he hits the post twice...

      • 9 Years

      Had him GW1, he will score today and maybe a cheeky assist 😉

      nice fishing

      1. Amey

        Cought alot of them 😀

    12. Captain Berbarossa - arrrrr…
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He's an inch off twice from scoring two goals so pretty dumb thing to say

      1. SH1M1
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Hit the post twice, been through on goal 1v1, created a shot for Kane, would have had an assist too if Dier didn’t miss a sister ...

    13. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hit the frame twice, so his current lack of points has got nothing to do with a deeper defence. Clown.

    This game woild be so much better without captaincy

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Did your captain fail?

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

      Better without penalties for sure

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd usually agree with you. But a captain can save a bad gameweek and mines still to play

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Mine still to play too, Salah capper

        Bamford and Ramsdale my biggest scorers so far.

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

      Tend to agree yet nothing beats the rush of a big Cpt haul

  4. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Happy to have sterling and KDB

    Would really like Bruno back though.

    Too many premiums is dangerous though.

  5. FOO FIGHTER

    Mourinho unmasked...

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

    Newcastle deserve a hammering here

    Maybe then Bruce and other managers will think twice about sitting back. They have attacking threat up front but it’s so negative

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, push high up like Southampton did, that worked well...

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

      They don't have attacking threat. They have Joelinton.

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

      Teams get relegated on goal difference. Son will destroy them on the counter if they push high up. Bruce is being smart.

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I could genuinely be below 6 million rank and burnt a WC after this weekend

  8. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So, what’s Bale likely to go to this team?

    1. james 101

      *do

      1. Andy_Social

      • 4 Years

      Bale will be very useful

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Draw attention from Kane / son / alli?

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

        Do u think he still got pace in him

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Not nearly as much

          But a nice touch? Definitely.

    5. THFC4LIFE

      Score and create goals hopefully

        How many more mins for Son in the second half?

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years

          20?

        Feeling pain as a Kane(c) owner. Could have bag at least 2 more returns.

        Frustrating half as a Son owner. He deserved more.

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

          2 goals and an assist -_-.

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

            • 11 Years

            Same

        4. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Bruno captain wasn't going well for me until the 100th minute, so why even post that? And also, that seems a bit of a knee jerky move but lets see.

        5. Blues for Salah
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          On the balance of play this weekend, I'd be feeling pretty good about that move. Yeah, you've had bad luck but Son looks like he's more likely to rack up points over the long term.

          Unless of course football has become a game of penalties. If that's the case, I'm with Roy Hodgson that it's destroying my enjoyment of football.

      8. Red Red Robins

        kane and Foden in for Havertz and Werner for -4? Or wait another week and do it for free?

        1. Belli2007
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          perhaps keep an eye on price movements....

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            would give me 0.7 in the bank as it stands, so should be fine if i waited

          Almost similar situation here.

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

        Spurs actually good? Or Soton and Castle making them look good?

        1. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          They've been pretty good this game as well, the new boys incoming will surely strengthen them even more. Better candidates for top 4 than Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal as it looks now.

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

            Fair point

        2. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years

          Pretty good, think they even get a CS today. Kane looks great as does Son

        Werner hits post... get him out he's rubbish, won't ever score

        Son hits post... great option he's due for a big haul!

        1. Patson Dabaka
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Son scored 4 last week tho?

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

            Against an abysmal high line Soton defence? What other team would give him that much space?

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              And Werner played West Brom who is arguably worse in defending

        2. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He just had a bigass haul. Werner has fa

        3. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Son did it twice and it's 45 min left. But I have both and keeping...

        4. tokara
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Werner playing for a noob coach

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

          You clearly didn't watch the game then.

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

          Werner himself would have chosen Son ahead of him

        7. schlupptheweek
          • 9 Years

          Still needs to hit 1 more time to draw the cheap Hazard

        I can see Davies getting subbed at 59' for this Regulion guy. It just feels like that kind of GW.

          • 8 Years

                James and justin have been useful so far mate.

                Worth considering.

        Spurs will get at least a couple more here and can be sure that Kane and Son will be involved.

        1. Esalman
          • 14 Years

          Amen

        Confess.

        I know theres someone on here who had Son for GW1, changed to Bruno for GW2 and then wildcarded to get Son back in GW3 for Bruno. Admit it!

        Kane is such a force ones he’s match fit

        1. Belli2007
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Werner and Martial to Kane and DCL a no brainer? Clearly should have done it before price drops but didn't....

          Keeping hold of Havertz for time being as surely one has to deliver at some point....

          1. Belli2007
            • 13 Years

            Sorry, didn't mean this to be a reply but agree. fantasy gold when on form and fit!! Will repost...

        Son to tear United a big one next week

        1. Esalman
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Pretty sure United will sit back. It won't be easy.

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            They can't. It's OGS.

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

              United are weirdly good against the bigger sides.

              532 and hit on the counter with pace.

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

                Exactly. The only strategy OGS has.

              2. Baps hunter
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                And after that it's time for Son to counter attack? Could be high scoring with early goal imo.

        Wood and Werner to Ings and DCL for -4?

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Harsh on the woodster great fixtures and robbed of a goal yesterday

          Good moves though

        2. Third Eye Vision
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Go for it.

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

          Hmmm looks good but Wood or Werner to DCL and save the hit imo

        I would be livid if I captained Son

          Why? The game isn't over yet and every time you pick a Captain you run the risk a blank. It is part of the game.

            Fortunately I resisted.

            Got to just get rid now.

        4. Debauchy
          • 11 Years

          At half time ?

        I transferred out Son this week for Sterling so can't believe my luck!
        Must be making up for Trossard

          One has 45 min more and another hasn't even played.

      21. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Should I continue with Kane or sell him for Jimmy?

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          stick for sure

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Sell

        3. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years

          Keep

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

          Hey Dreams , long time fella. Continue imo , nobody else you can do for Jimmy ?

          1. Dreams
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks Deb. Hope you are doing well. Can sell Mitro but have to downgrade Auba.

        5. JURGENAUT
          • 3 Years

          Keep - Kane is electric right now

      22. james 101

        Little help? What to do this week?

        Martinez Steer
        Digne Saiss James Justin Mitchell
        KDB Rodriguez Zaha Sterling Hendrick
        Jimmy Martial DCL

        A. Roll the FT
        B. Martial out (but for who?!)
        C. Zaha out (but for who?!)
        D. Something else?!

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Tempted to roll it.

          I’d love to add Bruno tbh but unless KDB or sterling are injured...

        2. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Looks like a freshly WC-ed team. A should be fine, 2FT next week will be useful.

          1. james 101
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers Batman!

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

        I wonder why teams like United and Man City aren't going for Ings. He is clearly better than Martial and Jesus and has been in a world-class for over a year.

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

          Injury history?

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

          In Giggs opinion, u need to have United dna to be a United player

        3. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Liverpool had him but injuries stalled his career there.

          Agree with you though but wonder if he's one of those strikers that is better with a mid to lower table team.
