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.

    I’ll take those Wilson points, but honestly, what a joke...

      Same. This is ridiculous.

    Wilson owner, Arsenal fan.

    Football ruined.

      Respect for you. Pool fan here and that was the end of football. Var is good but the rules are not.

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

    Wilson outscoring Kane & Son is somewhat unexpected.

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

    That's horrifying for Spurs defense owners, feel so bad for them

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

  11. JBG

    Serves Maureen right for taking Son off at half time 🙂

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Was Son injured?

      Will be boring, it's all been seen before from him. He's yesterday's man

  14. The 12th Man

    Need a squad full of penalty takers.

    Son > Bruno looks likely.

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

      I'm on 5 penalty takers. Need 2 more

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I’m on KDB,Salah,Richarlison and Jimenez.

        Yeh looking at either getting Bruno in or Ings with Son money.

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

      To be fir, took almost 200 mins to get a pen today

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It still happened though and United will get a penalty a game the way these decisions are going.

  15. Atimis

    Bring back football FFS!

  16. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    Spuds fans now know our pain as well from yesterday. Football is a joke now.

    Was just getting ready to celebrate Davies' points D:

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

      Me too. Absolutely FARCICAL.

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

    Its settled, just use all your transfer to bring in penalty takers

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    That’s a pen

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

      the rules aren't great, but they are the rules.

    2. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Rules are rules

    3. Auntie Niemi
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      They might as well introduce a rule that says you can't can't play the game unless you're handless smh.

  21. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Spurs def owners.

  22. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1) It's the rules not var
      2) other leagues have shown that players can adapt eventually after an initial spike when the rule was introduced

    • Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Handball again

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      If the dier one was a pen that’s a pen

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

        Not inside

    • Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What a joke PL became...

    • Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Steve Bruce masterclass, insane

    • Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This is different from Ward’s penalty yesterday. Nothing to complain about, Dier’s arm isn’t in natural position at all.

      1. Tasty Jerk
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, but its Spurs so will get more coverage on than ours.

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

          Unfortunately true

      2. Planet Jo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        What is a 'natural' position when you're jumping to head the ball?

      3. Auntie Niemi
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The hand is always in an unnatural position when you're jumping.

    • OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Lewis assist?

    • Says
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      So is there a reason players can't flail their arms above their heads when jumping? or are they just deciding to not control themselves?

    • camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This is a joke.

      Ramsdale and Davies clean sheets gone at 90 mins. I'm disgusted.
