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.

    No bonus points for Raph?

  4. sandman58
    • 5 Years

    Raphinha scores winning goal and gets no bonus points
    Wtf???

    1. Sun Jihai

      Had like 0bps beforehand with all the misses

        What misses

    2. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson did nothing but score a pen and gets 3.....!!!!!

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Forwards get much more bps for a goal than midfielders

        1. sandman58
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Surely that's wrong

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            No it’s randomly correct. Defenders get less than midfielders as well!

            1. sandman58
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Wtf..??
              That's ridiculous

                Nah, scoring goals is a KPI for forwards. Much the same as Clean sheets are a KPI for defenders

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

          Yep Gallagher down to 1 too

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Its only 8 points. Relax.

  6. Cok3y5murf

    No one picked Raphinha for pens. Unbelievable jam

      Feeling very very fortunate.

  10. Gizzachance
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Gallagher had last couple set pieces t took off him

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

      Not surprising the way he takes them!

  11. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    As a Rafinha owner I was first delighted he took the pen - thought it would be - Rodrigo.
    But that stuttered run up of Raphinha - was not very assured looking.

    You know what... I'm okay with a Raph 8 pter. Still a bit bitter. They didn't look like they were gonna get anything.

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

      Jam happens sometimes. It is what it is

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      And now with bam back he will haul massive against Brentford 🙂

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

      Nor did it look like that Wilson would a get pen. There is a lit of luck involved in this game.

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

    What was Guehi thinking? There was zero need for that handball.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It’s how defenders are coached to attack the ball but that was back in my day before the strict handball rules

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure what a defender is supposed to do with his arms when jumping. Basically be a salmon going upstream

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

        Yep, its a bs rule.

        To jump you use your arms.

    Not even a good penalty. Should have done better to save it.

  17. Revival

    Lift off for Leeds

  18. CheesyZoot

    Raph man of the match, scores only goal of the game… 0 bonus, figures

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Why? This game is full of luck! And it's just a game...

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Gave the ball away huge amounts. The subjective man of the match that the co commentator gives is irrelevant.

    3. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Disgrace

    4. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years

      He was terrible

  19. No Professionals
    • 6 Years

    Well rodger me, a football match is about 90mins long.

  20. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    An evening of Jammy penalty points.

    A 0.01% rank increase apparently haha

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Of course Gallagher regresses to the mean of pure mediocrity as soon as I get him… wish I’d gone for Raphinha replacing Foden 🙁

    1. No Professionals

      Hindsight fpl is really easy

    2. Zimo

    Is 8 points from 1 played any good lads?

    …Sorry, couldn’t help myself 😉

  24. Brehmeren
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I can't get over how much he has hurt me in my ML this season. Owned him 2 times for a total of 5 games and 0 goals, and now everyone else in my ML has him but me.
    Should just get him in and forget about him.

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

      Same mate, started the season with him but sold on my WC then everyone else got him in!

  25. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Thank you Raph, lad. One more go next week. No bonus points but will absolutely take those 8 points!

  26. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Raphinha should be walking away with double digit haul. Meslier has one save.

  27. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Finally Wilson had returned for me. Raphinha raps up a great night for me. But no bonuses for Raphinha?

  28. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    So sick of Raphina. Typical nothing performance and gets 8 points. Unreal

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

      Should have got 10 at least

  29. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I just want to know how they keep getting it right at FFS. It can't be that they keep putting players in the scout picks who, under normal circumstances, would never score goals in the current form of their team. Exactly these players then score week after week under the luckiest of circumstances. Super lucky late goals eg. I just don't get it.
    Could you tell me the winning lottery numbers?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Funnily enough Mark hasn't owned Raphinha all season!

    2. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      What are you moaning about actually? Leeds best player scores their goal?

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Pukki and Raph in the same night is ridiculous

    Guaita: 3, 1, 2

    1. FPL_Crisis

      Palace keep finding a way to concede. I don’t even feel good as a Raphinha owner

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

        Feels dirty alright. Palace did not deserve that. Leeds badly missing Bamford.
