Paik Seung Ho-- Seems Paik is slotted for a bigger role this season but with remaining doubts on his fit into system, there's always a chance that he could be on the bench.
Choi Kyoung Rok-- Out injured.
Kwon Chang Hoon-- There were a lot of factors in both Koreans starting but Kwon scoring and Jeong playing well hopefully pushes them to both start. Given that they're competing for similar roles, it makes it a bit tricky for first league match but given my biases, will assume both start even if I won't be surprised to see one of them on the bench.
Jeong Woo Yeong-- Given his age, I'd expect Jeong to be more likely to be on the bench with the idea of risk/return tradeoff favoring Jeong if offense is needed.
Hwang Ui Jo-- A weak performance but for now I expect him to start as there isn't a lot of alternatives.
Lee Kang In-- Should start and hopefully continues the positive momentum.
Son Heung Min-- Bale's back but it's apparently too soon for us to see how they all line up. Certainly a more proven offensive option was needed midweek where once again, Tottenham's offense looked lifeless. Son started off well but as the opposition started sitting deeper, Son's impact waned as it often does against deep defensive sides. Yet he still had a moment to put them in the lead but missed his first timer from point blank range. Not a good showing from Son or Tottenham in what I saw before the feed died but they need to get ready for a PL match on short rest. I expect Son to start with battles on both fronts of high importance.
Lee Jae Sung-- LJS should start.
Yun Il Lok-- Seems Yun's injury in preseason has set him pretty far down the depth charts as he was again an unused sub. Not expecting more this weekend.
Hwang Hee Chan-- Should start and we'll see if he can keep up positive momentum vs. BL opposition.
Ji Dong Won-- No news is bad news on Ji. I don't think he's fit yet.
