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.

    Can’t wait for Davies to come on in the last 10mins to ruin my Bissouma points 🙂

      I wish Podence stayed away from the pitch... Would have given me Bissouma pts. That -4 I took for Soucek to Podence, really paid off.

    This week took out Son and Antonio for Zaha and Ings.

    Just rough followed by rough so far this season.

    Anyone else?

    1. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My every transfer has been disastrous

    2. HTL

    Imagine how bad it is being a United fan.

    That false sense of superiority destroyed week after week.

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years

      What do you mean false sense lol

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For 30 years before Ferguson won his first title it was like this. Had all the players but no clue how to win with them. This side is worse because they are all average. And for the record I’m a utd fan.

      1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar

        You look like a swindon fan

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      38 penalties 10 goals and 10 assists. There. Done

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes if the play sanchez every week. Clumsy to say the least.

    2. TorresMagic™

      Perma captain.

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A deeper Kane, 10 not 6, is a beautiful sight with his passing ability. Son the perfect recipient.

  12. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    That hamstring news last week has no chance to be true.

  13. OrmskirkFC
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I had Bailly on my watchlist for all of four minutes.

  14. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I feel bad for people who sold Son. This was so unlucky

  15. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

  16. Flair

    Kane is really deep

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      Deep in points

    2. Jindaljain
      • 9 Years

    3. Pukki Blinders

  17. las90855
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    did son to maddison for -4, doherty is not starting and have bench of mitchell and dallas, what a season this turns out to be

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yikes.

    2. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      1. las90855
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

    3. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That makes me feel like a super genius with my Son to Mahrez swap.

  19. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1.3M managers sold Son because of that lying sack of shite

    1. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It was 100% a lie.

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He never said Son was out. Always maintained he had a chance

    3. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bøame yourselves. Son was in fantastic form and would only miss one game anyway.

    4. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      To be fair he has been a liar for 15 years.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. And I'll be reversing it back next week. Total cost of transfer tbc. Wouldn't be surprised if it costs upwards of 20 points.

    How are Man U looking?

    Specifically:

    Bruno
    Martial
    Rash

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Doing good, Bruno could have had an assist and Rash a goal. But post denied them that.

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's an open game. Rash just hit the post. There's going to be more goals.
