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.

    Love these jammy Raph points!

    1. PascalCygan

      Haha, same!

    2. Utopsis

      Sweet sweet jam, mmmmmm

  2. jonnybhoy

    Time to get rid of Gallagher? Not seen much from him recently

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

      He is on every set piece

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

        *was

      2. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        And they were all terrible

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

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

      I do wonder if some people are just being sarcastic when they ask question like these.

      Are you genuinely asking whether to sell a player that started the season priced at 5.5m and is the 3rd highest scoring midfielder in the game?

      Seriously...

  3. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Raphina had very low chance creation stats and i guess stuff like that and key passes would have helped boost his bps.

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

    BPS is horrifically broken

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

      Never been a fan

  5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Oh dear I sold Raphinha in order to get Alonso 🙁

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Correct move

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        We shall see, Pukki was nice though

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

    Nom nom nom. Those points, they taste sweeter undeserved.

  7. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Why didn’t benteke come on earlier ?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Seems to be a tactic of Vieira's to just keep the game a 0-0 for as long as possible and then be more adventurous in the final 20. He's done good things for Palace but can't help but see the similarities with Wolves the last 2 years.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Oh ok thanks - benching benteje GW15 but assume should hold?

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah I'd hold. When he came on he had a few good chances. 1 of which he should've scored. Prior to that they hadn't created much.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks - he looks like the main man for their attack

  8. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    With the winning goal bps Raph could get 2 bonus

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

      They're added during game nowadays

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Ah didn't realise, my bad

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

      He already has it.

    3. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Unlucky 😉

  9. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Start Raph - tick
    Bench Gallagher - tick (though i expect someone else to rest)

    Good first day to the week.

  10. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Raphinha you beauty!!!

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

      It's 5 points 😆

      1. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, a FF goal is 5 points. It's the return we all hope for from our midfielders.

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

          Well go and party then 😆

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        5 pts is huge

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

    Guaita loves dodging points. That’s 2 or 3 times he’s lost a late goal. Having raphinha softens the blow but frustrating as gambled on him over the safer Sanchez pick

    1. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Horrendous keeper picks for me this season, no CS from a GK since GW8 now

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

        It’s a lottery when palace can get a clean sheet at city! They have the lowest number of big chances conceded out of any team in last 6 but always lose a goal

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Palace were good defensively. Good fixtures coming up. Andersen back soon and hopefully McArthur as well. For 4.6m, Guaita will prove to be good value. Be patient. Even I got him this week and I'm very optimistic about him!

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

        As much as I don’t rate him, ramsdale seems to have that perfect mix of keeping clean sheets and getting plenty of saves. Guaita is doing neither!

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

      Tell me about it. Sold Sanchez to Guaita after his red, only because I needed to burn a ft. Has gone horribly wrong.

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

        It’s random, palace will probably keep a clean sheet at Man U!

    4. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I’m getting really frustated of Palace. Again in extra time!

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

    Well, at least there'll be nothing for Rapha after next game lol

    1. Black Knights

    A nice leaving present from Raphina there. Welcome Gundo

    1. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Raphinha is home to Brentford next, surely keep for that one?

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      You’re not waiting for his huge encore next week?
      Rumors of double digits next week as a big thanks to his more patient owners…

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

    Raphinha didn't deserve BAPs. (Owner)

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nobody in that game deserved baps.

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

      Who did?

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

    I'm still selling Raphinha after next GW.
    Godspeed you legend.

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

      Same. One more parting gift would be grand

    2. Eastman
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure now he’s on pens

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

        Not sure he will be. Bamford soon back & Klich was off the pitch.

  16. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    No rush to do hwang to king is there until GW16 unless price rise?

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

      I will do the same move

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeh will only get GW15 if risk going up in price as have exact funds

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

      Correct, would just bench if I could.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeh if got GW15 would bench

    3. demob
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      never rush your Hwang King

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Very good

  17. FantasyClub
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Chances of RJames playing?
    I have Raph first sub 🙁

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

      Your squad must be wild strong to be benching him in that fixture

      1. FantasyClub
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Ramsdale-Begovic
        TAA-James-Cancelo-Alonso
        Salah-ESR-Gallagher-Jota
        Kane-Antonio

        Raph/Livra/Dennis

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

          ESR is away at United.... although I suppose that doesn't mean much these days

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

            Hindsight is wonderful, but not sure id have started Gallagher or esr ahead of him.

            Gallagher more so.

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

      Now this is undeserved Raphina points

      1. FantasyClub
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Lmao

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

    Is Raphina usually on pens??

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

      No Bamford and Klich are normally on them

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

      Rodrigo had last one

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

      No, Rodrigo scored their last one. Bamford & Klich missing.

      Lucky points.

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

        Typical *sigh*

    4. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Usually Bamford then Klich. Rodrigo taking the last one when neither of those two, nor Raphinha, were on the pitch.

  19. big_fat_ARSEnal
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I bought Guehi this week and my league leader has raphinha. 10 point swing there. Tough to swallow.

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

    Raph with pens in locker now surely

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

      It wasn’t a great penalty. Bamford will be on them when he’s back probably.

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

      bre, CHE, MCI, ARS, LIV, AVL, bue, WHU

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yea good time to get rid next week

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

          for sure, serious lack of points on the cards there, just 2's and 1's muwahaha

  21. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Another nightmare GW it seems like. Brought in Gallagher for his 1 point. All the other well owned players hauls.

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      what other well-owned players played?

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        (besides Raph)

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Wilson and Pukki in many teams, at least in my minileague.

  22. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A nice parting gift from Raphinha

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

      Before Brentford?

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, im wildcarding.

        1. Babit1967
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Who you thinking of bringing in on wildcard? Reckon I’ll hold out another gw or 2

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Crazy. This was the entree. Brentford next week is the all you can eat buffet & you’ve already called for a taxi?

  23. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Can just see this being a disaster of a gameweek

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

      That’s the spirit

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

      how? thats the dross out the way, now for good games!

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Speak for thyself...some of us are rocketing into rarefied air.

  24. Tic Tacs
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Wishing that Guaita was not my GK right now, 9 point swing with those pesky Raphinha owners

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Even as a Raph owner it doesn't feel great. Palace finding new ways to concede

      1. Tic Tacs
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        It was probably the most frustrating outcome going into the last 5 minutes, in hindsight I should've got Ramsdale on my wildcard a few weeks ago!

  25. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I think I'm ready to sell Gallagher.

    He's had 3 weeks and gotten me 5,2,1 and 0.4m in price rises after he goes up tonight. I'll bank the profit and go to ESR.

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      ESR is equally inconsistent. This price bracket is a hit and miss unfortunately

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        ESR is pretty consistent tbh.

        But yeah maybe I'll wait. Just a kneejerk thought. If I wait I can fund a move for Bowen.

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

          I definitely prefer esr over Gallagher.

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

      I'll be replacing with Bowen really soon

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

      Selling before EVE, SOU, WAT, tot, NOR?

      Even MUN could be okay, but I'll be okay to bench him for that if needed.

      McArthur may even be back after United and he's massive for Palace. Palace also looked better once Benteke came on (mostly...)

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

      I had a similar experience, sold him before he scored at City, so I missed his two big hauls and the big price rise. As an ESR owner, I think you’re making a decent move there.

  26. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    People selling Raphina before Brentford, have obviously not watched Brentford recently.

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

    Can anybody see what the average number of players played is from each team so far? LiveFPL is on light version for me so I can only see my score and the top 10k and overall averages.

    So 12 goals for Raphinha in nearly 1.5 seasons. How many times has he reached double figures?

      Once?

    2. Paqueta Rice

      To be fair, he’d hit double figures much more often in a better team with better players around him. Or at least a fully fit squad.

    Owning Guaita has been such a kick in the teeth late on in games. Such a bad decision getting him on my wc
