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.

    Stupid by Clark but that was some dive from Pukki

    Bloody M#melon head!

  3. Rainer

    That is up there with one of the worst moments of defending in the league, ever.

    Damn Newcastle will have to park the bus, probably bad for Pukki

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

      Newcastle have to go for the win, it’s great for Pukki

  5. WVA

    A Wilson YC is all I need now to complete the worst possible start to the GW

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

      Clark triple capper?

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

        Fair one lol

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Is that worst possible? I can think of another card being worse for one

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

          Don't say that! Worst imaginable start I meant although I should dream bigger with the luck I'm having

      • Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I have Wilson too. Lets hope for a 2 pointer. 😀

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

          That's the most he' ever got me. I'm sure his PPM were awesome before I got him lol

      Earliest red card ever?

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

        McAuley was sent off after a minute before.

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          McAuley! There's some FPL nostalgia!

        There's always Gerrard on at half time.

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

          That was hilarious

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

      Newcastle are such a joke of a club now. Hope they get relegated. Not buying any more of their players this season.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Never take any team serious if they start Joelinton

        • Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Because of a Ciaran Clarke red? That seems like an overreaction

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

            Not just that. Everything about them really.

        • Rainer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          If they lose this Clark won't be seen again.

        • Indpush
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Already have three of their players?

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

            Just Wilson.

              Isn't it strange how players not performing for you in FPL make you hate a team in general, so much that you want them relegated. It's only a game mate

                2 years, 4 months ago

                I own no fpl for newcastle, and I want them relegated. Normally have no thought/care on who goes down, but after the takeover I want them down.

                  • 2 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  Oh dear, political reason. If you looked in the closet of every club owner, I bet you'd find a lot worse than PiF! Welcome to the modern game!

                  1. Ginkapo FPL
                    • 12 Years
                    2 years, 4 months ago

                    Now now. Its just jealousy

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

                      Jealousy? There was talk of them looking to buy man utd(who i support) a few years back, and I was against it. Honestly I'd have given up on the club had it went through, some things are bigger than football.

                      1. Ginkapo FPL
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 4 months ago

                        I take it you know very little about the Glazers then. Must be time to stop supporting them

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

                          Are you really comparing the pif saudi fund and the glazers?
                          Ffs, catch yourself on. Send me a link to any murders they have signed off on, or countless ongoing human rights abuses by the glazers and ill read it.

                  2. jason_ni

                    2 years, 4 months ago

                    Worse? Doubtful, not sure how many owners have chopped up a journalist while in an embassy.

                    There's a lot of unscrupulous owners, but the newcastle take over is on a whole other level.

                    1. Casual Player
                      • 3 Years
                      2 years, 4 months ago

                      Newcastle and ManCity owners probably tied for first.

                      Reckon the Chelsea owner knows where some bodies are buried too.

                      Can’t be bothered going through the rest

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years

        Come on Williams, 1st on bench…

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

        A few weeks ago I was desperate to get rid of Gilmour. Right now he is looking like ideal bench fodder. Only 4.4, back playing again under Smith and on set pieces. Likely to pick up the odd assist but unlikely to score big leaving a haul on the bench or give me a benching headache.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Does it really matter when it comes to 4.4 mids?

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

            Jack Colback got me a brace once…

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

            Might need that 3rd sub one day

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

        Just got in, lets go Wilson and Clark

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Sir, I have some news for you......

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

        Oh dear.

        At least Wilson didn’t get the red card

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

          Now you've said it!

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

        Joelinton effort!

      7. dando89
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I have a feeling this is going to be a terrible gameweek. Already have Bentekkers benched and have James and Vardy in my team too...

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

          Owning Benteke the big problem.

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

          Has all the hallmarks of an absolute stinker, at least the turnaround's quick

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

          James is fine isn’t he

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

            Slight niggle could be the perfect excuse to start Azpi, regardless of injury - let's be honest.

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

              Just have to hope if he doesn’t start then he stays on the bench!

          2. Scholes Out For Summer
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            If he does actually have a slight knock, dunno why Tuchel wouldn’t play Azpi on the right

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

          Fearing an Antonio rest here!

        5. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Don't be a pessimist i'm sure you can field 4 players and one might get a return

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

        Silly Clark, he should have just let Pukki score!

      9. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Great start, Benteke benched and ASM in a 10-man team.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Wouldn't worry too much, gonna be a low scoring week with lots of benchings

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

          Can anyone else still edit this weeks team? Just moved Wilson from starter to bench and saved…

          1. Bartowski
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            You mean you picked next week's team...

              Eg Wilson v Newcastle.

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

          Schar could be injured too here...

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

          Tbh let Wilson get his YC tonight so I can take him out for the weekend and be done with it.

            • 6 Years

          2 years, 4 months ago

          Oh bugger so NEW are down a man. Does that mean they are going to defend the whole match? Was expecting some Wilson returns 🙁

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

            Norwich keeping ball, few good players on the counter for Newcastle.

            1. BIG TONES
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              True. Wilson is pacey on the counter. Keeping the faith

            • 11 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Will surely get at least one chance, question of if he can take it when it comes.

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

              the answer is no i can tell you that for free

              • 9 Years
