Tuesday’s FPL team news: Edouard in for Benteke as Rashica and Cantwell miss out

A full midweek schedule of Premier League matches kicks off tonight, with Newcastle United v Norwich City and Leeds United v Crystal Palace getting Gameweek 14 underway.

The games begin at 19:30 and 20:15 BST respectively.

Newcastle, who remain the only Premier League team without a win, make three changes from their Gameweek 13 loss at Arsenal, with Ciaran Clark (£4.4m) and Jamal Lewis (£4.2m) replacing the suspended Jamaal Lascelles (£4.4m) and Matt Ritchie (£4.9m), with Javier Manquillo (£4.0m) also getting the nod ahead of Emil Krafth (£4.3m).

Elsewhere, Dwight Gayle (£5.3m) features as a substitute having recovered from a hamstring injury.

As for Norwich, Dean Smith makes two changes, as Lukas Rupp (£4.4m) comes in for Mathias Normann (£4.5m), who is set to see a specialist due to a recurring pelvic issue, while Christos Tzolis (£4.8m) replaces the injured Milot Rashica (£5.2m), who is out with a groin problem.

Todd Cantwell (£5.3m), meanwhile, is also absent with a Covid-related issue.

The Canaries have taken seven points from their last three games, with Fantasy interest mostly centred around Teemu Pukki (£5.8m), who has scored two goals during that time.

Marcelo Bielsa makes three changes from the XI that drew 0-0 at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, with Pascal Struijk (£4.4m), Mateusz Klich (£5.4m) and Tyler Roberts (£4.8m) coming in for Junior Firpo (£4.7m), Rodrigo (£6.3m) and Jack Harrison (£5.6m), all of whom are substitutes.

Patrick Vieira also makes three switches, with Luka Milivojevic (£5.4m), Michael Olise (£5.4m) and Christian Benteke (£6.4m) dropping out for Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.4m), Odsonne Edouard (£6.5m) and Jordan Ayew (£5.8m).

Influential defender Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) misses out again with a hamstring injury.

    What’s this Mili and Gallagher theory then?
    Isn’t Mili a proper DM, therefore Gallagher further forward when he plays?

    Firpo has been substandard. Alioski was great.

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      What happened to him

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Leeds pay too little, apparently

      2. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Playing in Saudi Arabia I think.

    How come people still own deadwood like Raphinha and Antonio? They are so last month. Move on...

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Who should one move Antonio on to?

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        This, no idea where to go form him.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      already have Jota, who to mopve Raph to? Bilva, Gundo? Not that much of an imprivement when you take into consideration peproulette

      1. One More Hit
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Pep’s had a lot of positive comments in the press about Bilva. Watching the second half of this game has made me a bit nervous that I ditched Raphinha but Leeds aren’t pulling up trees in general so was time to ditch

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Bigger fires to put out.

      Be careful what you wish for, I did this a few weeks ago with Sanchez - 10 mins later he has conceded and been sent off

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

      Doubt it, but wouldn't risk it. People start doing transfers after this game

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

  19. JBG
    • 5 Years

  21. pjomara
    • 13 Years

    The .4% with Liam Cooper in their team must be getting excited!

  22. gonzalocampos
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    It's my optics or Raphina is playing out of position?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No, he's RW.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Center back?

  23. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    If only Raphinha had half decent team mates

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He really is too good for this team!

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He hasn't been great today either.

  25. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I’m almost wanting this to end 0-0 now and take the 3 points a piece for Zaha and Raphina 😆

  26. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years

    How are Leeds so gash compared to last season... second season syndrome?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Add no Bamford

    Tekkers knows the safest way to clear a ball is to aim at his own goal 🙂
