Son and Kane top the FPL points table as United’s defence crumbles again

Manchester United 1-6 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Goals: Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) | Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m), Son Heung-min (£9.0m) x2, Harry Kane (£10.5m) x2, Serge Aurier (£5.2m)
  • Assists: Anthony Martial (£8.9m) | Kane, Aurier, Son, Ben Davies (£4.9m), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.9m)
  • Bonus: Son x3, Kane x2, Aurier x1

A ruthless Spurs thrashed a Manchester United outfit that started fast, were then reduced to ten men and ended up a shambles.

Thirty seconds into the game and it looked like it might be the visitors who would be the whipping boys as Anthony Martial (£8.9m) burst into Tottenham’s area and Davinson Sanchez (£5.4m) gave away a penalty.

The spot-kick was, as usual, put away by United’s most popular Fantasy Premier League (FPL) asset, the 20.7%-owned Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m), and visiting coach Jose Mourinho could have been excused for preparing a scowl similar to the one he wore during much of his tenure at Manchester.

The fact he left the pitch at full-time with the sort of smugly magnanimous smile that only a massive victory can produce was down to his side’s excellence, a misguided moment from Martial and a complete capitulation from the rest of the United team.

But amidst all the sound and fury of a truly bewildering game, the key Fantasy takeaway was the surprise presence of, and a brilliant performance from, Son Heung-min (£9.0m).

While Mourinho had suggested the midfielder might be fit to play at Old Trafford, a hamstring issue had his official chances down as 25%. That prompted a massive FPL sale, with a net 1,308,054 managers – well over half his total ownership – getting rid of the South Korean.

He responded by starting, scoring twice, assisting once, earning maximum bonus and recording 18 points for his second double-digit haul (the other brought in 24) of a remarkable start to the season.

Twitter users were in meltdown at half-time, with the hashtag ‘Took Son’ – as in ‘I took Son out of my Fantasy team this week’ – trending worldwide.

By the final whistle, that had been replaced by #OleOut as Gunnar Solskjaer’s men fell apart.

The rot didn’t even start with Martial’s dismissal, after 28 minutes, for an irritable slap to Erik Lamela‘s (£5.9m) face sparked by the Argentine’s weasly attempt to elbow the United striker.

VAR upheld referee Anthony Taylor’s decision despite also showcasing Lamela’s embarrassing theatricality and his massive culpability in the whole event. But Martial walked, Lamela received only a booking and the match hurried away from the hosts. 

In truth, it was already heading in that direction.

United’s lead lasted all of two minutes, with the fragility of centre-back pairing Harry Maguire (£5.4m) and Eric Bailly (£5.0m) – the latter preferred to Victor Lindelof (£4.9m) – exposed for the first of many times.

Maguire’s feeble attempt to head the ball clear created a panic in the area and the ball eventually fell for Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m) to equalise.

Three minutes later, Son put Spurs ahead when the new-look assist machine Harry Kane (£10.6m) was fouled, picked himself up and played a quick ball through to the midfielder, who dinked the ball over the advancing David De Gea (£5.5m) and in.

United responded, the lively Mason Greenwood (£7.4m) chalking up three attempts by the 23rd minute, but Son had already blown a great chance to double his tally before the Martial dismissal and it was one-way traffic from then on.

A minute after Martial finally trudged off, Spurs made it 3-1 when Bailly made a mess of trying to play out from the back, Kane pounced and played the ball to Son, who weighed up his options before squaring back to the striker for a simple finish.

Losing a striker should have at least meant United retained some semblance of shape at the back, but instead, enormous pockets of space kept opening up on their right flank and when Serge Aurier (£5.2m) was given the freedom to exploit this, he responded by setting up Son’s second goal.

It could even have been five by half-time, Kane missing a good chance from a near-post header, and that scoreline would not have flattered the visitors.

Solskjaer made changes at the break, shoring up his midfield by swapping out the blameless Fernandes and the pedestrian Nemanja Matic (£5.0m) for Fred (£5.4m) and Scott McTominay (£4.9m), but the fact Spurs only scored twice in the second half was as much to do with their own more relaxed approach than anything the United coach, or his players, did.

It was 5-1 on 51 when the rampaging Aurier smashed home from a brilliant Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.9m) first-time pass and Kane finished the scoring with an unstoppable penalty after substitute Ben Davies (£4.9m) was taken down by a sliding Paul Pogba (£7.9m).

Solskjaer was suitably crestfallen at the end of the match, saying:

Today, it was almost like Christmas, too many mistakes all came at once. Too many mistakes against a good team and you’ll be punished. It’s very embarrassing.

What might make things worse for him is the crash in confidence of Maguire, the unreliability of Lindelof and the rustiness of Bailly. United seem close to bringing in a new striker (Edinson Cavani) and a left-back (Alex Telles), but the unaddressed weaknesses in the centre of their defence do not bode well at all, as 11 goals conceded in three matches makes abundantly clear.

In Fantasy terms, however, the plentiful owners of Fernandes can still look forward to a good schedule through to mid-December, while Martial’s three-match ban could mean out-of-position opportunities up front for midfielders Greenwood or, more likely, Marcus Rashford (£9.5m).

As for Spurs, Son is currently the most-bought Gameweek 5 player – it would be interesting to know how many of those purchasers sold him ahead of the United match – and Kane is also in the top five.

The pair have 89 points between them this season. United’s entire squad has 72, albeit from one game less, and owning Son and/or Kane looks highly advisable when their next four opponents are West Ham and Brighton at home and Burnley and West Brom away.

So reasons to be cheerful are many for Spurs fans and Fantasy owners alike, while Mourinho was similarly upbeat:

The squad is very good, that’s why we won these matches, rotating players, bringing in fresh legs… and then Lo Celso injured, Bergwijn injured, Bale working… look at the squad we have, look at the attacking players we have, plus Vinicius in the stand. It was an amazing performance. I’m very proud of everyone at the club.

That could all be construed as a bit of a dig at a United board he believed failed to back him in the transfer market.

One thing’s for sure – Mourinho’s successor at Old Trafford is the manager with all the worries at present.


Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw; Matic (McTominay 45), Pogba; Fernandes (Fred 45), Rashford, Greenwood (van de Beek 67); Martial.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-3-2-1): Lloris; Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele (Alli 69); Lamela (Moura 45), Son (Davies 73); Kane.

    Pulisic+TAA or Sterling+Dallas?

    Would be only attacking option from either team. No City more of a concern than no Chelsea, but not looked great.

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN

    Everton panic buy a goalkeeper - - Pickford still Southgate's #1.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If he doesn't get played (and I hope he doesn't), Southgate can't make a case for him in the England squad. Then he will be shite AND not getting played. Pretty hard to defend that.

    4. CBonci
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I agree to get Kane for now.

      I am worried about James’ minutes though he needs to go too. Although not a fan of taking hits for defenders.

  6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Robin Olsen is a very good signing for Everton. Will put pressure on Pickford.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He'll start I reckon. Pickford will have to just be left with being England's #1.

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Seems to have had similar problems at Roma that Pickford is having now:-

    3. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years

      Nick Pope is easily the better keeper imo.
      Makes the saves and isn't known for howlers like Pickford.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years

        Henderson*

      2. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I agree that Pope is better than Pickford but he did have a few howlers just this weekend.

      Keeping. I've used my FT already and have Saiss as cover.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Semedo James Lamptey

          All offense. If James is benched that's fine, Saiss will come on for him.

            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Fair - thinking of keeping and lamptey will come in - otherwise looking at reguilon but doubt it for a hit

    3. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If bigger fires to put out then deal with him after but longer term Why would you hold onto someone who is, at best, going to share right back?

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years

        Already used my ft.So not sure if it's worth a hit.Targett my first sub but i also have Coleman.

    Can we get this straight guys, ‘he’s got good fixtures’ means absolutely f£ck all this season so stop using it as an excuse

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm sure fixtures will have been utterly irrelevant when we look back on the season as a whole...

  9. FFSbet.com

    Cavani to get penalties from Bruno?

    thinking Bruno > Son

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

      Bruno will take pens at Utd until he leaves. Utterly clueless comment

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Calm down no need to be angry,he was main penalty taker everywhere so its option.

        Bruno said he will be happy to give some penalties to Rash if he likes.

        If he lose some penalties during season Son should be better option

      2. lespaul
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not if he misses a few he won't

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why would he be taken off them, he never misses? Werner hasn’t just taken them off Jorginho has he...

    3. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Surely Bruno keeps penalties he never misses!! Haha

      Solskjaer wont go back to that sharing pen nightmare.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        As if Ole has any say over who takes the penalties

        1. korbendallas82
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          probably a little bit.
          19/20:
          4 penalties missed by gw10, 3 different penalty takers. 2 missed in same game vs Norwich. Rashford,Martial.
          But its not to jmportant to me though. Be interesting to see.

  10. noahzark22

    Vardy out to let me have DCL and Wilson seems like a no-brainer, right?

    1. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA, Robbo, KWP, justin, Mitchel
      Soucek, salah, zaha, Son, podence
      Vardy, Kane, Davis

      Current team

      1. AgentRed
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely get DCL. As a Wilson owner I think he's a reasonable pick but would also be interested in Maupay.

    What is the general consensus on Bamford?

    Will he regularly get 90 mins?

  15. AgentRed

    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I've been playing Soucek as my 4th mid and have 2m itb.

    a) Soucek > Grealish
    b) Keep Soucek. Upgrade 5th mid (Reed) to Trossard or another 6.5m or below option

    1. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd keep Soucek

      1. Badluck Jonathan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Listen to this guy

    2. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      As a playing 4th mid every week though, and with West Ham's next few fixtures?

      Grealish is tempting as Villa look generally stronger this season (not just going off yesterday's freak result) and he's very involved in all their play.

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don't upgrade 5th mid

      1. AgentRed
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years

          I don't mind either just don't make a team with 8 playable attackers

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

        1. AgentRed
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Personally still yes. New team to settle into, so could go either way on debut, and Sheffield have generally been struggling. Obviously a good fixture but I think that's what I'd do, you should make your own call though.

        2. Bushwhacker

          No rush, just cover it up with leaves.

      Fine team, roll transfer

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

        Thank you sir

    4. CBonci
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I agree, stick

  18. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Can't believe I lost value overnight on 3 players.

    In a mad rage I've just brought in Targett, Stephens and Grealish for Davies, Bissouma and Traore for a -4 as wouldn't be able to bring in Grealish unless i done it tonight.

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

      Your fpl moves sum up your team. Woeful

      1. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Under 300k rank. Not doing too bad. 😛

  19. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    goes against my rules of transferring in players before they've got more games to play but

  20. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Damn, who's the best replacement I can get in for Sandro?

  21. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ranked 2.2 million yet really like my team. What would you do with this lot?

    Martinez Steer
    Saiss Justin Cooper Mitchell Dunne
    Salah KDB Bruno Podence Bissouma
    Vardy Ings DCL

    1. Badluck Jonathan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t fancy any Spurs?

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’d like Son but I’m not prepared to lose any of Salah, KDB and Bruno so I’d have to lose an in form striker to upgrade Podence (which I’m not adverse to). Worth it?

    2. lespaul
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would consider bruno to son

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Do you not think Bruno is a season keeper?

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

      I'd get rid of ings or vardy

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        The top two goal scorers from last season and both on form this season though? I could do with a Vardy injury to help me make my decision.

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

          U said you're not willing to get rid of salah kdb bruno. There's no other way.

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

            To get son

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Roll transfer

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That’s what I’m fairly set on doing

    5. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd downgrade one of Bruno, Vardy or Ings at some point to upgrade Cooper/Dunne/Podence over next few weeks.

      Not very urgent so I wouldn't take hits to do it though

    6. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would save for now but keep an eye on Justin and Mitchell

  22. reason17
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A) klich
    B) bamford

    1. Badluck Jonathan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C for me... whatever it is

  23. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    on WC. If I plan to keep KdB all season, there's no benefit to me of selling before his iminent price drop is there?

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      There is if you bought him at a higher price

    2. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If you sell and he drops its the samw

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not this time. Unless he falls again before wildcard runs out.

    4. lespaul
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Very slight benefit ie profit if rises to 10.8

    5. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If you’re on WC there’s a benefit on selling and rebuying at 11.6. Of course there’s no guarantee he drops even tho all the predictors suggest it

      1. Volley127
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Also plans to keep a player all season often change!

  24. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How does this team look for gw5?

    Martinez
    Saiss Lamptey Justin (Mitchell KWP)
    Salah KdB Son Podence (Burke)
    Kane Jimi DCL

    Aware that my defence is weak, but I´m fine with that at the moment as most teams are having problems keeping clean sheet.

    Thanks!!

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years

      Solid lineup.
      No Liverpool as well which is interesting.

      1. TeddiPonza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Have Salah

      Why PVA?

      1. Johnny too hotty
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Look at fixtures and palace play him midfield

    2. Firmino

      Missing one player

    Hi, Who takes villas free kicks?

    1. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hourihane then Grealish

  27. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Havertz - can he be a good FPL player

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I hope so. I think I might be stuck with him for a few weeks. I've seen some good stuff. He's staying for at least two more weeks...

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He might prove to be very consistent

    2. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      could be a consistent 5 to 7 pointer.

        no money mate.

        so keep him, sorry.

    3. CBonci
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B. James needs sorted first as we don’t know if he’ll get minutes now. Then get Everton after the Pool game?

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        cheers.I have Coleman

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

          Meant Everton attack but I do like Coleman so far this year

  29. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    United have signed that Facundo Pellistri chap as well it would seem.

  30. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Everton v LPool could be alot of goals in that game.

    1. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      could be a 0-0 (2020 effect)

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

        Annoyingly this will probably happen

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It usually ends 0-0 but you never know how this season is going.

      I’d expect both Ancelotti and Klopp to be more cautious in that game though.

    3. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It will be a low-scoring tactical affair.
      Everton will be stifled and Liverpool will be happy to get a draw tbh.
      All of a sudden it could be a title-deciding game.
