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

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Flag: Red arse.

  2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    Bloody M#melon head!

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

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

  4. schlupptheweek
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

  5. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

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

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Clark triple capper?

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Fair one lol

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

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

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

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

  6. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Earliest red card ever?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      McAuley was sent off after a minute before.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        McAuley! There's some FPL nostalgia!

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

      There's always Gerrard on at half time.

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        That was hilarious

  7. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 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
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Never take any team serious if they start Joelinton

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Not just that. Everything about them really.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

    4. Indpush
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Already have three of their players?

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Just Wilson.

        1. FPL Insanity
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          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

          1. jason_ni
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 8 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.

            1. FPL Insanity
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 8 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
                • 15 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Now now. Its just jealousy

                1. jason_ni
                  • 10 Years
                  4 years, 8 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
                    • 15 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

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

                    1. jason_ni
                      • 10 Years
                      4 years, 8 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
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 8 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
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 8 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

  8. Warby84
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Williams, 1st on bench…

  9. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 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
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Does it really matter when it comes to 4.4 mids?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Jack Colback got me a brace once…

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Might need that 3rd sub one day

  10. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Just got in, lets go Wilson and Clark

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

  11. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Oh dear.

    At least Wilson didn’t get the red card

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Now you've said it!

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Joelinton effort!

  13. dando89
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 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
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Owning Benteke the big problem.

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      James is fine isn’t he

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 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
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 8 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
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 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
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Fearing an Antonio rest here!

    5. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

  14. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Silly Clark, he should have just let Pukki score!

  15. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

  16. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Haaaa this tickled me

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

      How's that evening possible? Are you sure its not next gw you have changed

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It’s weird I can’t see updates leagues etc with pick current team the midweek fuxtures.

        Eg Wilson v Newcastle.

        I’ve taken screen shots before and after changes

  17. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Schar could be injured too here...

  18. Black Knights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      think id prefer this too, what a bad bad transfer

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years

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

      Brave vs. Leicester. You know he'll do it.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Brace*

  19. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 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
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

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

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

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

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        the answer is no i can tell you that for free

      2. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Probably Lin’s. Who’s going to join when the team could be relegated

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Stack out the team with mercenaries with relegation clauses?

  25. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years

    1. Black Knights
