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.

      Still need to clarify who it was too I suppose but it looked like Kane.

    Surely authorities need to revisit the present handball rule I mean this is an atrocious application , it beggars belief that they allowed this to take effect !!!!!!

      Too late now though. Because can't change it midway through a season.

      1000%agree, and I own Wilson in my draft team

      Yep. Tbf to the refs and VAR, they're applying it consistently. Not much they can do when the rule is stupid.

  5. NULL-X-VOID

    on a corner *heads the ball onto the hands of a def*

  6. Nomar

    I own Wilson in my draft team but that call was utter bull crap.

    Newcastle fan with Wilson - awful game, awful call, we deserved nothing.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Keep Wilson or sell to DCL for a hit?

    Kane confirmed red card.

      Source?

    2. Beatle

      Wasn't Kane. It was a coach

    3. Flair

      Beautiful

    4. Pukki Blinders

      ban

    andy carrol's new tactic of heading it ionto people's arms is genius.

    essential.

    GW5 wildcard team will be all penalty takers, then no more transfers needed for the rest of the season. Absolutely no point getting anyone else and have very little interest in keeping up to date and watching this type of football.

  11. Seanigula

    3 years, 7 months ago

    BBC says Kane got the red...he’s clearly not on his own fantasy team

  12. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Get in Wilson!

    Perfect gw for me so far: 36 points from 5 players. And no blanks 🙂

  13. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Joao Sacremanto > Wilson?

  14. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How do you not hold a 1-0 lead against Newcastle

  15. AnfieldLad
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    You can do all the research and looking at stats you want and then there’s just random VAR penalty decisions giving players hauls when they’ve been sh*te - going to be a tough season

  16. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    When will Lukaku's assist be added for the pen?

  17. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    9 from 6 any good?

  18. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    It's time to start taking hits and getting in penalty takers, at this rate the hits will be paid back in no time

  19. The Senate

    At least the Man Utd pen was a stonewaller...

  20. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 points from 3. Let the gameweek begin!!!

  21. SoapAFC

    Sky sports just said it was joao sacramento who was red carded, NOT KANE

  22. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Kane (C) but could not care less

  23. curious_zombie

    Random Thought - teams like City - ie only City - will be champions with a big margin. Teams like Spurs or even Pool which try to hold on to a single goal advantage would be hurt due to the freakish handball rule...
    In short defense won't win you title this year...

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      So Liverpool won't score multiple goals in games...??!

      1. curious_zombie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Remember all those close matches they tipped last minute...

        1. curious_zombie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Maybe the rule would give them an advantage in that case when they are chasing matches 🙂

    Kane red omg lol

  25. diesel001

    Sky saying Joao Sacramento got the RC.

    BBC saying Harry Kane got the RC.

    Who is correct?

    Smash and grab point for NUFC, I'll take that happily after the slapping we got from Brighton, 15th place here we come.

    Well unless I get a KDB captain haul I’m stuffed this week.

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years

      Me too pal

  28. thepoet85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Having kept Wilson I've benefited from that decision, but they surely have to address this, it's embarrassing.

  29. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Is 4 goals and 3 assists from KDB too much to ask?

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Over the whole season? No it is very realistic 😀

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Absolute minimum

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      20G 20A more realistic, it's Leicester
