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.

    All Leeds aren't we

    What a massive 3 points. 3 more at Brentford please and 0 over Christmas 🙂

      Great top post. Congrats!

    2. Bushwhacker

      How much for VAR? Ridiculous decision.

  2. Ze_Austin

    Benteke had 2 penalty box touches, 0.33 xG, 3 shots (2 in the box), 1 on target, none counted as a big chance by Opta... In 22 minutes

    Edouard had 0 across everything in 68 minutes. He was their version of Leeds' Roberts

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

      That header he missed really should've counted as a big chance but I've given up guessing Opta's stats.

      Edouard wide seems wrong for his skills

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

        He was central here

        Felt like he was on the wrong pitch. Everything passed by him. Maybe he's better out wide

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

          Zaha was through the middle until benteke came on

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

            https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/2210403/

            That's not what I saw. That's not what the average position mappers saw either: Edouard is #22, Zaha is #11

            Also, Zaha was battling with Dallas through a lot of the game, who's Leeds' right back

  3. Better Call Raul

    Since when does Raph take pens, ouch that was a rank killer

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

      Bamford then Klich usually, neither were on the pitch

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

        Rodrigo was though....

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

          But Raphinha wasn't when Rodrigo took the last one...

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

            Touché

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

      That goal ended my evening in devastation

    3. Firminooooo

      Its sickening.

    2. Black Knights

      Man’s full of passive-aggression under the guise of lols and hahahas. Very unhealthy.

  5. Roy Hudd

    2 years, 4 months ago

    A lot of people on here... "It's only 8 points, I'll live". The same people who call the samaritans after their player gets a - 1 booking haha. Raphinhaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

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

      They are celebrating his lack of bonus - I say let them 🙂

    2. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years

      Well done to everyone who kept hold of him. Killed my guita clean sheet but the msn keeps finding ways to score!

  6. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Disapointed. Expected more from Wilson and Raphinha.

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

      Just be decent and shout Raphinha and Wilson in the post.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      lol. Two of the jammiest returns yet. Enjoy.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years

        😎

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

    Wilson jam denied by Rapinha jam, but as a Guaita owner too, that has to be negative outcome.

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

      Yep Wilson Gallagher here and I feel destroyed

  8. dabber7
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    At 17.00 GMT today on FPL statistics, Foden was at around 140% to fall in price, now (22.30) he's at 90%.

    Why is that please?

    Many thanks

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

      Probably recalculated after deadline. More accurate now?

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

      Always an update post deadline. WCs, Free Hits etc...

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      Reset because of new gameweek

      1. dabber7
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks all, just seemed a big change to account for WC's but fair do's ...

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

      Also they are completely unaccountable to any of us.

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

    Considering Zaha to Gundogan. How does that sound?

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

      The only worry is KDB, Grealish and Foden all coming back soon. But then again Gundo has match fitness and form, those other 3 don't.

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

      Wait on tomorrow. I'm still not sure on the optimal Man City mid. In the 4 games this season where KDB played 60+ mins (if we assume he is back soon):

      Goals: Bilva x2, KDB x2, Jesus, Foden,
      Assists: Cancelo x3, Jesus, Foden

  10. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Early captaincy poll for Saturday.

    A Salah
    B Son

    Think this could be the week people move away from Salah.

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

      I've went away for this round.
      Kane.

      If he does anything on Thursday, I'll do same again for next gw.

      1. FPLMACKEM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah you've got to fancy spurs to smash Norwich.

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

      Salah will dine on Wolf that day

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      If you need pts then Spurs have the best shot ; but I don't see them having their way now Dean Smith is marshaling Norwich.

  11. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    If you own both Raph and Wilson today is probably a good time to buy a lottery ticket

    1. FPLMACKEM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      That's me. Think I might just do that.

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

      Raphinha owners have skill, Wilson owners very lucky!

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

        LOL

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

        That Raphinha run up though, my heart was in my mouth. I was ready for a -2 points.
        Maybe he knew what he was doing, but still.

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

          Wasn't a great pen, lucky Guaita didn't move.

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

        Tbf I've had two blanks from Wilson so was due something. Plus he was very unlucky not to get anything in the Brentford game.

    3. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Guaita, Raph, Wilson, but also moved Gallagher into my XI over Reguilon at deadline, which seemed stupid even then tbh.

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

      I am sick and depressed after watching the games after bringing in Gallagher, praying for no goals from Raphinha, Pukki and Wilson. Of course they all hauls.

    5. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      That’s me.
      I also captained son. If he outscores salah I will pick everyone’s lottery numbers for them.

      1. Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Wait…this doesn’t make any sense.
        Never mind. 18 points, woo!

  12. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Raph baby nice pen

  13. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    My main rival has got both raph & Wilson, here’s me hoping son & Jesus outscore them!

    I can’t seem to get lucky at all this year

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

      I feel your pain

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

        Don't you own wilson?

        Pain would be had he missed his pen ffs.

        Take your wilson points and be happy.

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

      Mine has both and Pukki as his 3 playing tonight

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

    According to the FPL bonus points system Llorente is '2 BP notches' above Raphinha.

    Cooper 36 - Meisler 26 - Llorente 25 - Raphinha 23.

    No other players were close to be in the mix.

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

    Already 6 goals(total goals for 20/21) in 12 games for Raphinha.

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

      He's quality, love him as a player, started the season with him over Greenwood which didn't go well, switched them on my WC which didn't go well 🙁

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

      No assists hurting him, no one to pass too but he's ticked over nicely without Bamford.

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

      Last year people were complaining about his finishing.

      0 assists so far, 10 last year. I guess there's nobody to actually pass to!

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

      Corners freekicks and now pens....
      Shots from range etc. Will be shocked if he is at Leeds next season way too good for that team.

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

      Keep til GW16

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

      I’m offloading him after next week. A player who has scored 6 should have more than 61 points. No double digit returns. The best he has done for me was his surprise no-show which gave me rudiger’s 14 points from the bench

  16. internal error

    Penalties back on the menu

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

      Brought in Kane this week

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

      Hopefully Hwang bucks the trend.
      I commented before that I had a decision to make between Hwang/King. I chose King.
      Then I was told Hwang-King would be a very happy team name.

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

    I love Raphina but I really hate him

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years

      Same 🙂

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

      Looking at ways to buy him back but not possible unless I sell one of Kane, Son or Jota

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

        Don't buy him back. Look at us schedule after Brentford

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

          His*

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

          Go for Bowen instead soon

      2. dabber7
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        His fixtures are awful after GW15 to be fair.

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

          I am getting rid GW16 and like Maddison

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

        Feel like an idiot for bringing in Gallagher instead of Raphinha this GW. Those fixtures put me off.

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

          Why? Lucky (non) penalty in the last minute or you'd be moaning about 3pts. Again.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully he'll get his move to a bigger club in the summer and we can see if he's really any good or just flattered.

      A or b depending whi gets rested / minutes managed v villa

  19. Pep Roulette

    Raph to ESR in GW16 looks perfect

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

      Bowen could be nice as well.

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

      Or Bowen if you don't have Antonio

    3. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years

      Maddison also?

    4. Firmino

    My plan to start to push away from the very clear top 10k template…
    Save FT this week…
    Then Raph & Jimi > Sancho & Jesus

    High risk, high reward…

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I like Sancho, Jesus....

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years

      Sancho could be gold

  21. EffPeeEll
    • 4 Years

    Saw enough in that cameo (although disappointed not to get at least one to return) to believe that Benteke is not just for now, he's for xmas

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      Keep the receipt

    2. Stranger Mings

    3. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Don't own but still looking at potentially bringing in. Edouard was very poor too which will help his cause.

  22. jia you

    Should've played Pukki over Gallagher...ah well patience with Meslier payed off past two GWs at long last!

    Can go Raph Mbeumo to Jota/Gundo fodder -4.

    Rambo
    TAA/Cancelo/James/Alonso
    Salah(c)/Son/Raph/Gallagher
    Vardy/Toney

    Foster/Mbeumo/Duffy/4.4

    1. Atimis
