Weekend Preview Aug 26th

This is the apocalypse scenario I was worried about. Everything on premium ($$) tiers. Then again, not sure how much guys will play...

Ji Dong Won -- It sounds like he aggravated whatever minor injury he's been carrying around, but he returned to training regardless so hopefully he is in squad tomorrow though I'd doubt he'd start even if fit given lack of minutes / match fitness.


Koo Ja Cheol -- I'd think that he'd start at CM but his activity so far this season has been less than I'd thought. They need him to step up though so we'll see if he plays more aggressively.


Lee Chung Yong -- RLC and Zaha are both out so even the surprise omission from squad last weekend (maybe he was thinking of moving then) seems unlikely this weekend but he's not really a major part of squad right now. He did play 20 minutes midweek in the cup, and they did score all their goals but he didn't have a direct hand in either so not sure it helped his cause though didn't hurt.


Ki Sung Yueng -- He's already in Korea, apparently trying to get fit for WCQ.


Kwon Chang Hoon -- I doubt ODO would bench the guy who scored one and setup the other so he should start, probably out wide.


Son Heung Min -- Perhaps this weekend is when Pochettino takes off the brakes on the Tottenham attack especially after some more extended minutes for Son. We will see if Poch leans towards the three in the back which means no Son or goes for the extra attacker... leaning towards the latter looking to get Wembley going as a home pitch.
