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.

      You’ll have to ask Gnasher mate.

    Gallagher playing quite deep so far. Raphinha looks sharp (thought he looked tired last GW).

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

      Yes Gallagher deep. Not good

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

    Ayew a season late for that to be a pen.

  11. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Why no pen?

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

      Rule change after Sterling during the Euro's.

  12. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Surprised there wasn't a VAR check for a potential palace pen there

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

      There was, they check everything.

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry, must have missed it or misheard commentators. Thought they mentioned it wasn't checked

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

      It was a dive

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

    Pukki time?

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

      Pukki touched the ball maybe 10 times. He sacks. Norwich suck.

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

        Switch to King next week I’m thinking

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

          Yes I would.

  14. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Just want to say, Norwich look so bad.

    Newcastle are poor and that was such a silly red card. But Norwich... Norwich..... WOW

    They are AWFUL. They've created nothing. We have looked more dangerous. I just have a silly feeling we might nick this. #PrayForWilson

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Clark has ruined my night in all honesty. Was looking forward to seeing that match.

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

        You were looking forward to watching Newcastle?.........

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

          It's a big game you tit

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

        Just an idiot. But also why is he ahead of Fernández... Argh annoying

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm praying. Not entirely hopeful

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

        ASM skins 4 and slips in Wilson

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    James and Roberts, championship level attack there

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

      *League One

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        *Ligue 1

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

      James must be the most frustrating player to have as a coach. You can see the potential but it's blocked by a lack of intelligence and composure.

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

    Can't believe I backed the striker from the league's worst team with zero wins lmao

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      You’re far from alone…….

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Same. One more week then he's a goner.

    3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      You can’t account for stupidly from Clark

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

      o/

    5. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Was just a makeweight for Jota

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

      Same here. Wilson has always done well for me in FPL until now. Didn't take note of just how bad this Newcastle team are.

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

    Schlupp close...

  18. Snoop Udogie Dogg
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Do players ever start with an orange flag? I have Dennis

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

      Yeah, mostly if their manager lied.

  19. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Schlupp looking lively

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

    Derby County 2007/08 at least managed one win during their worst-ever season....

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

      Norwich beat Southampton last week

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

        Newcastle

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

        I actually have a bit of faith in Norwich now with Dean Smith there. Pukki probably will become an option

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

          They will at least improve defensively so won't be out of games. Farke's Norwich were getting pumped by 3 or 4 goals on the regular

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

            yea, I still think they go down lol. But surely got to be better than Farke

  21. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Jimenez >

    A) Armstrong
    B) Toney

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

      Is this after the Burnley game? I think I'm going Toney

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, deadline has passed. Armstrong ticking over nicely too. Tough one.

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

          Ah of course it has. I've got 9.0 to spend but Toney + extra cash is probably best shout.

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

          Or maybe King for a longer term hold. Just got MCI next GW is all...

          1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah, that’s what’s holding me back. Need to play next GW unfortunately. But it’s probably a much better long term move.

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

      Think Toney's a decent shout for the festive season, nailed to play 90 every game pretty much

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        That’s true. He is their only attacker.

  22. Crystal Alice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Best keeper up to gw19 wildcard?

  23. tim
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Wilson wasting a spot in my team, score or goodbye.

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

      Toney beckons

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Newcastle have Burnley next at home so might as well give him that. There was a good chance he would have scored tonight if not for sending off.

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

      Burnley next though uuuurgh.

      1. tim
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Get in!

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

          Hahaha get back in our team!

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

    Ayew looks world class here!

    Not happy with his omission from last nights Ballon D'or list...

  25. AleksaMaster
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Gallagher nowhere near goal

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

      Schlupp has his role tonight, much more free to get forward.

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

    Where is VAR

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

      Blatent pen! 😀

  27. Drexl Spivey
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Not for nothing, but I've seen Gateshead Stadium livelier than this.

  28. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    That's a fooking penalty

  29. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Can you pick England women players for FPL?

  30. Royal5
