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.

    PHEW!
    I nearly escaped Son Captain.
    So happy to get 2 extra points by Capping Werner

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

      Lol

    2. Manani
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      actually it is only 1 extra point

      Son(C) + Werner = 4 pts.
      Werner(C) + Son = 5pts.

        After realising that, I'm not so happy anymore :/

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

        Just all the annoying lollers, trolls and anyone who says 'everyone told me to do this and it went wrong' when its literally two people giving their opinion, that add absolutely nothing to the site.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years

          I wouldn't have anyone to talk to

    0.4m short of Son >> Sterling.

  5. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years

    The Newcastle goalie (Darlow) might even be getting all the BAPs at this rate..

  6. Siva Mohan

    GW1: Son

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        no cash

    2. Rolls-Royce

      What's the conclusion?

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        chasing points ain't good

  7. Rolls-Royce

    KWP and Davies getting CS after I sold them on WC. Classic.

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

      Wc is long term

      Davies out the team soon most likely and still don’t trust Southampton defence

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

    Are Newcastle in any danger of scoring?

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

      It’s possible

  9. Niho992
    • 5 Years

    Rest Bavies now !!!!

  10. Pedram

  11. OptimusBlack

    I Captained Salah and really hope to do something

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

    Spurs much better with Aurier

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

      Nah definitely not. He’s a liability defensively, atleast Doherty is consistent

  13. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hendrick's finishing seems to have returned to its usual level

  14. Peter Ouch

    Just got tuned

    Why son got substituted

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He got caught stealing biscuits

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

      They need the drama for the Amazon Prime show.

  15. Begbie.

    Lascelles pretending he got hit in the nuts because it hit his arm 😀

    I swear these players forget we have replays.

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

      Maybe he had his nuts in his hand at the time.

  16. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wait, Son subbed at 45? Did he get injured or tactical?

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

      snap!

    2. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hope it's injury or I'm not going near Spurs ever again.

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

      Nobody knows just yet

  17. Nanoelektronicar
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son, injury or tactical?

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

      Nobody knows yet.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • 9 Years

        Thanks, cheers.

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

      I read he didn’t come back out at HT...that implies injury, no?

    3. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tactically transferred due to injury

  18. puhd
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What happened with Son?

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      he got subbed off at half time

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

    Ah, this is why people don't trust Mou teams

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

    SI says John Stones is out injured

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

      CSI?

      1. Seanigula
        • 14 Years

        Sports Illustrated

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

          Okay 🙂

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

    Looks like Son has a knock

  22. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Let’s be honest, unless Kane gets another assist or goals, it’s quite the fail for all Son and Kane owners.

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

      Still better than owning Werner and Martial.

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

    Captain Salah might actually work out after Werner and Son blanks

  24. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    No Mahrez in the City squad today.

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

        Surely he'll start

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

      Well, that's a surprise, expected him to start this one.

  25. Noisy Neighbour
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I’m sure with all his success last week and all the chances against Newcastle today, Son was starting to enjoy his football a little too much to suit Mourinho. Kane better watch how much he smiles if he scores again, or he could be next!

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

    Doherty looks scared to have a shot under Mou

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

    anyone do Alli to Son ?

  28. Drogo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I get a feeling that Mou and Pep is playing FPL as well. Too many in Mou's mini league had Son as captain.

  29. drilsby
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Someone explain how that Kane shot was not "below the armpit" on the Newcastle defender? I'm just trying to understand these illogical rules.

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

    Suprised Newcastle aren't targeting Doherty's right side
