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.

    you used to get banned for deliberately giving false info on here.

    i guess "i heard a rumour" is the FFS equivilent of saying whatever you like then adding a winky face on the end 😉

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

      Wish they reinstated that

    2. Arctic monkeys

      The false info doesn't have any effect as the deadline was yesterday

      1. Seanigula

        It hurts his feelings...have you no compassion?

  6. Zilla

    Can Newcastle score pls

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      i'd like that a great deal for non-FPL reasons.

    Sterling (C), KDB, Foden: go on and save my GW please!

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

    Rodri/Fernan double pivot means KDB, Foden high up.

    Who has ruined my fpl start, me or Jose?

    I have had too much faith in Chelsea.

    Jose has now taken two of my players off at half time.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Almost past 100pts for the season though!

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same on all counts mate.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It will get better I'm sure. Were learning from this

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Exactly. You keeping or binning Son?

  10. thorvaldsson
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    As annoying as it is, this is real football. Tottenham has like 5 wingers. I agree with Jose give Son a rest. I'll take the one point. When Son rattles three times next week a lot of people will be sorry.

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      hope he drops .1 so i can afford him once the spurs team is more settled.

  11. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Why was Son subbed at the half? :/

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years

      Looks like an injury on Reddit

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

      The rumor is that he was stealing biscuits out of Jose's special half time tin.

      Three games in ten days

  12. Steinburg FC

    can't believe i went Werner Cap over Sterling last min... and if Jesus didn't get injured i wouldn't even have Werner 🙁

    KDB no.10 nice

    Next time you start arguing with an idiot on here just remember, an idiot will drag you down and beat you with experience. Advice over.

  15. Nanoelektronicar

    My idea is, Mourinho was disappointed to see Son playing centrally, he wanted him on the left.

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

    Darlow on 7 points without CS wow

  17. AnfieldLad

    City Xtra wrong about Mahrez. But was the first to report Jesus out. Interesting whether you trust them going forward

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      they never said he wasn't starting

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

      They backtracked in like one minute saying he wasn't seen but could still be in the squad, they're a trustworthy source.

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

        Ah fair enough I only saw ‘Mahrez not in squad’ very good to have a trustworthy City source!

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Jesus got benched for your sins

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

      He injured

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

        Don’t crucify the guy

  19. Zimo

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
