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.

  3. Gudjohnsen

    Thought there would be points galore with Son, Werner, KDB and Salah.

    2 down, 2 to go

    This is going from bad to worse for every single match. Though I'd had my worst GW ever last week, but no...

    Non son owners loving that, but son owners crying with our 25 points in 2 GW’s 🙁

    1. TeddiPonza

    GW2 and GW3 a good lesson for people chasing points.

      So, you can only sign people who didn’t score well the week before? Or we are just ‘chasing points’?

      I actually signed Werner on WC this week. He failed too.

      Almost like this ‘chasing points’/ not chasing points thing is a crock of sh*t

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

        No, but selling an objectively good pick who just blanked for someone who just scored is chasing points (Selling Mane, Son last week, Bruno to Son this week, etc.)

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years

    son wasn't getting a lot of space to play to his strengths. Would not suprise me if tactical at all .

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

      He hit post once, crossbar too. Think he played well honestly

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think it's just rest.

      He was close to scoring twice. He's probably your most priced asset now mate

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

      Doubt it. He hit the post and the crossbar. Injury or just rested.

He's slowly ruining Spurs's attack but some people still seem to think he plays like an FPL manager lol.

    Davies to be subbed of off before 60? Gives Reguilon some minutes and Davies a rest.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

    Spurs look barely half as good without the Korean maradona

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      I hope it was an injury or it raises questions about Mourinho's soundness
