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.

  7. Von Lipwig

    Not much sympathy after the monster haul last week. Now let's just hope kane comes off sooner rather than later...

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

  8. yakirh

    What happened to Son??

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

      He was subbed

  9. GOTHAM City F.C.

    • 7 Years

    Son getting the CS point?

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

      No. 60 minutes necessary for that.

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

      You only get it if the players 60mins at least.

    3. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No, need to play 60

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Need to play 60 mins

  10. DRIZ ✅
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son is being rested, just said by geoff Shreeves

    1. Trippier Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Was thinking that was a possibility, 3 games in a week, Mour would want to preserve him. I hope we don't find out about a latent injury

  11. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    At least Harry can still create assists for Lucas Moura!

  12. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Have we had any confirmation of DCL’s injury?

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

      What injury lol

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

          It's rubbish, probably from last week when he had the ice pack on it. Website looks very dodgy

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

      ban

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

      Wat?

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

    HAHA That is hilarious... how many Son cappers laughed at Werner cappers yesterday ?

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

      I got both and didn’t captain either. But I can admit that owning Werner with that Chelsea midfield and likelihood of playing winger was a mistake while Son was just unlucky not to have goals/assists.

  14. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mourinho trying to outfraud Pep?

  15. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hope Son's alright but after my Werner captain fail that's a huge blessing in disguise.

  16. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Decent team that contains all 3 KDB, Sterling & Salah?
    Or too much sacrifise..?

    McCarthy - 4.0
    Semedo - Saiss - Coleman - Lamptey - Mitchell
    Salah - KDB - Sterling - Barnes - 4.5
    Jimenez - Maupay - Mitrovic

  17. JURGENAUT
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Im so glad, my ML rival had (c) Son!!

  18. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son was not moving well towards the end..Knew it was coming..Disastrous gw continues..14 from 6 took a -4 as well.

  19. Horlicks esq.

    Ugh.

  20. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Doherty doing some attacking would be nice

    1. JURGENAUT
      • 3 Years

      Trust me!

  21. Hazz

    GW1: TAA & Son
    GW2: TAA (7) & Son (24) > Digne (1) & Bruno (2)
    GW3 WC: Digne (5) & Bruno (12) > TAA (?) & Son (1)

    Tbibk I've got the lurgy.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      Stop chasing points.

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

        Good argument if everybody else wasn't also recommending Son for this week mate.

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

          You're not getting these players in for 1 week though. Be patient.

          Bruno is utd pen taker. Get him and keep him.

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

            Why don't you have Bruno in your team?

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

              I made the decision to wait and see on united and kept son.

              The way pens are being given I will probably get him and rich for son and werner this week.

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

      That’s crazy to make those changes

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

        How about you go and review everyone's RMTs here over the last couple of weeks.

        I'm not blaming them, but you're only saying that due to hindsight.

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

          What are you talking about I done that changes yes so did you and then you go and reverse them the week after did I? No!!

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

            Actually let me apologise you used the wildcard in game week 3 thought you took a hit to bring in two players you bought the week before.. my bad

  22. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years

  23. Andy_Social

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