Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins with two matches on Tuesday evening.

Ipswich Town v Crystal Palace gets underway at 19:30 GMT, while Leicester City v West Ham United kicks off at 20:15 GMT.

There are five changes in all at Portman Road.

Four of them are made by the hosts, including the recall of Jacob Greaves after a six-match absence.

The 3.9%-owned budget defender replaces fellow left-sided centre-half Cameron Burgess, who is not in the hosts’ squad.

Dropping to the bench are Conor Chaplin and Sammie Szmodics, while Axel Tuanzebe is out long term with a hamstring injury.

Harry Clarke, Wes Burns and Jack Clarke are recalled alongside Greaves.

There’s just one change for the Eagles as Cheick Doucoure comes in for Jefferson Lerma.

Eberechi Eze, just back from injury in Gameweek 13, starts for the second time in little more than 72 hours.

Ruud van Nistelrooy makes four changes to the Leicester City XI in his first match in charge.

Wout Faes, Caleb Okoli, Luke Thomas and Jordan Ayew drop out.

In come Jannik Vestergaard, Victor Kristiansen, Kasey McAteer and Bilal El Khannouss.

As for West Ham, Julen Lopetegui makes five alterations.

Jeanclear Todibo misses out through injury, while Emerson Palmieri, Lucas Paqueta, Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio are benched.

Konstantinos Mavropanos, Vladimir Coufal, Mohammed Kudus, Edson Alvarez and Danny Ings take their places.

Kudus is back from a five-match ban.

Also on the bench for the Hammers is the fit-again Niclas Fullkrug.

    Neale got the big Greaves call wrong 🙁

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      You need to help him out.

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Did he really? Sue him.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        I had a feeling he would start. A defeat like the one at NFO usually causes a shake up with the team selection.

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      It's a funny old game.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Hopefully he is wrong about the Jackson benching. That one really threw me.

    4. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Hopefully McKenna didn't get the call wrong

    5. TheBiffas

      1 year, 4 months ago

      Cunha is never bench never cap.

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        However Rogers has home match against Southampton. Gotta fit him in somehow.

      Genuine bench boost possibility next gw

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Fixture congestion makes me hesitant - could be some otherwise nailed starters get rotated.

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          e.g. bellow I see Faes and Emerson both dropped to the bench midweek.

    1. Hairy Potter

      1. Hooky
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

      1. HelmutCool
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Frikkin hate early KO. Wonder if Saka at Fulham away would be viable option...

        1. David Parkinson
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          They'll put 4 or 5 past 'em.

  16. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Ait-nouri + Mazraoui => Colwill + Gomez

    4 point hit

    Have exact money

    Thoughts pls..

    1. HelmutCool
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Both you think of selling got a decent fixture.
      Taking a hit for 2 with no attacking returns projected seems wrong.

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      terrible idea

  17. Drumandbaines123
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    FPL stats had Gvardiol certain to drop in price earlier but now nowhere near. Odd

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      He’s moving to Odd?

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I’ve kept my eye on price changes for many years, they make it up as they go along!

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Suggest using livefpl.net/prices.

      Site below tracks the accuracy of price change predictors and LiveFPL is the most accurate

      1. Sir Michael Taker
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Although they all predict a lot of false positives which kind of makes none of them very accurate.

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Seems strange to sell Gvardiol when he has Forest (H) and Palace (A) next.

  18. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    What a week this would be for Greaves' first goal of the season...

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I reckon it will happen lol.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Own goal more likely

    3. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      No bigger game than the Homophobic Captain Derby

      1. fantasyfog
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Huh?

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Guehi defaced the rainbow armband and Morsy isn’t wearing one at all

          1. Number14
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 4 months ago

            It’s a free country … I think

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              1 year, 4 months ago

              Never claimed otherwise

  19. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Looks like a mini Allianz Arena. Beautiful blue LED lights. Shame I benched Greaves though.

    Come on, Palace!

  20. Mata of opinion
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Anyone know what happened to Burgess?

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Manager doesn't have CB on bench - it's a policy.

  21. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    VvD or Gabriel (got Raya)?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      In exactly the same boat, let’s see how this game week goes!

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Yeah I need to get rid of Mykolenko. Everton fixtures turn bad

  22. WVA
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Who would you bench?

    Salah Palmer Saka Bruno Rogers
    Jackson Cunha Pedro

    1. Mr. Eko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Wait for the Jackson YC

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        That would be glorious

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Can't bench any of the Mids so I would go with Jackson, Spurs game looks like the one he might pick up a yellow card in.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        I brought Jackson in for Soton without thinking but I’ve just realised I hate doubling up in defence or attack so I’ll probably end up benching him next week lol

  23. fantasyfog
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Right then, here's a question you won't see often

    Who did you captain this week
    AND
    What is your current rank??

    I'll go first 586k Palmer cap

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      269k soon to be 26k

      Haaland cap

      1. fantasyfog
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        I like your style sir, fake it till you make it!

    Ipswich and Palace... I can't think of a more boring game.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years

      Actually... Everton vs Palace would be number one most boring. This would be two.

      anything involving city is typically boring when they are in form

      At least there is the option of switching to Leicester vs West Ham at Halftime

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years

        Yeah, that one on paper should be goals, especially with Ruud in charge of Leicester.
