Son recovers from injury as Doherty and Davies drop to bench for United v Spurs

Son Heung-min (£9.0m) is fit to feature in Tottenham Hotspur’s clash with Manchester United this afternoon, having made a swift recovery from a hamstring injury.

Having initially ruled the Korean out until after the October international break, Jose Mourinho appeared to be slowly backpedalling on that initial prognosis during the week and Son indeed makes the starting XI this afternoon.

Kick-off in the penultimate match of Gameweek 4 is at 16:30 BST.

Son may have been passed fit but Mourinho has otherwise rung the changes from the Gameweek 3 draw against Newcastle United, no doubt in response to the Lilywhites’ brutal schedule that has seen them play cup matches on both Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Full-backs Matt Doherty (£5.9m) and Ben Davies (£4.9m) drop to the bench, while Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m) isn’t risked after sustaining a knock in the 7-2 win over Maccabi Haifa.

Midfielders Lucas Moura (£6.9m) and Harry Winks (£5.5m) are also among the substitutes, having started all three Premier League games before today.

Dele Alli (£7.6m) makes the 18-man squad but again doesn’t feature from the start.

Serge Aurier (£5.2m), Sergio Reguilon (£5.5m), Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m), Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m) and Erik Lamela (£5.9m) are the players who come into Spurs’ side at Old Trafford.

The Manchester United team news is a lot more straightforward.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made one alteration to his side from Gameweek 3, with Eric Bailly (£5.0m) replacing Victor Lindelof (£4.9m) at centre-half.

Almost 1.4 million FPL managers sold Son ahead of the Gameweek 4 deadline, with no other Fantasy asset suffering as many transfers out as the South Korea international in a single Gameweek so far this season.

Anthony Martial (£8.9m) was also out of favour, with his 303,342 sales making him the second-most sold FPL forward of this weekend.

Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) is the only Manchester United player who has a double-digit ownership in FPL at the time of writing, with three Spurs players – Doherty, Son and Harry Kane (£10.5m) – featuring in more than 10% of Fantasy squads.


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Lamela, Son, Kane.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Greenwood, Martial.

    Do you know what.

    I might just take a 16 point hit this IB. I don’t think it can make any difference at this stage as I’m probably going to be down to 5M by tonight. Saving WC, but so much utter cack to ship out.

    Ramsdale, Doherty, Tierney, Norwood, Werner (who went last night). Just all of them need to get the hell as far away from my team as they can.

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

      Had a similar though and did a -8 last week.

      It didn't help much

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wildcarded the. Raged them al out for -12 this weeks. Doesn't feel good.

  21. Pukki Blinders

    Maguire is the biggest joke of a human to wear the United shirt

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

    2 PENS FOR UNITED WITHIN 1 MIN

    A RECORD

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

      previous game and this game

  23. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Criminal defending from Maguire.

  24. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Typical Utd, a penalty and shoddy defending. What else do you want.

  25. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Do united fans still think Maguire is on the same level as Virgil? Lol

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

      Don't think anyone has ever though they are on the same level... Liverpool fan?

  26. Cocomelon
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Maguire should be ashamed of himself! What a clown

  27. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If only Shacktin was in football

  28. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I'm sure this is asked with regularity but just wanted to check

    If I do 2 transfers today (at a cost of 4pts)
    Then play wildcard in 10 days time..... do I still forfeit 4 points?

    Done vinagre for Mitchell (was toying with Lewis)
    Just seen chilwell is going up and I was going for him next gameweek
    Also MItrovic dropping

    Seems time to pull trigger

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No wildcard cancels out

  29. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    what an epic start

  30. Feanor
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I got Vardy in for Martial instead of my original plan for getting Bruno in for Son.
