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.

      Same here. Captain Werner beats my nearly Son capt. You gotta laugh.

    Can anyone be suprised? Spurs have something like 10 games in 21 games

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

      31 games is a lot

    2. Bambi

      21 days*

    Son points-chasers getting what they deserve. The cool kids owned him last week and dumped him this week 😎

    1. Das Boot
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What, You dumped Son before Newcastle at home?

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

        On WC, yes. Can't own them all and he played 90 minutes mid week

    2. The Fed
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Love yourself more bro

  9. Das Boot
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ouch, Son cappers will be gutted. I have him so gutted.

  10. Piggs Boson

    Could have been an argument with Jose...

    We know he's going to lose the dressing room at some point. It's a question of when...

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

      I highly doubt it. He has played 225 mins in the last week (3 games)

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son doesn't strike me as the argumentative type

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

        Had a bust up with Lloris recently, didn't he?

        But yeah, it's probably just wishful thinkg 😀

    Werner outscores Son.

    NICE

    Where is that muppet Do.herty who was telling me that there was absolutely no risk of rotation lolololololol? Some foolishly arrogant people on this forum.

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

      I mean he started didn't he? OFC he's going to be subbed off at some point... a tad unfortunate it happens after 45 mins.

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think you owe him an apology....

  14. Rolls-Royce

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

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

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

      Hopefully zero-owned Lo Celso scores soon so Harry comes off on 59 mins 😉

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

        Haha I'd like that. Don't want kane hauling :p

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

      I got banned yesterday for something extremely similar to this but it all depends on whether the mod in charge has the player you are lolling about or not.

      1. Check out my Umtiti's

        Interesting. Do you have Son?

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

    You dont rest someone like Son at 1-0, must be an injury

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

      I agree

    Commentator pronouncing Hojberg as Hoybeeyerg

    Is that right? 😆

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

  29. Pedram
    • 10 Years

    Mourinho trying to out-fraud Pep?

  30. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Honestly hope Son is ok but having him off really keeps me from getting buried by a high score from everyone who owns him
