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.

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      noooo

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

    Any chance Hermansen gets the assist

  3. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Get the crayons out

  4. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Leicester essential

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      AWB was the third most transferred in defender this GW.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Summerville’s a lightweight, too easy dispossessed.

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        2 consecutive goals 😉

  5. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Offside

  6. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Off

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Fullkrug was starting in a cl final a few months ago

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

    Offside

  9. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Who is the best manu defender to buy? Need to sell konate? Or do i buy Robbo? Cant afford taa or vvd.

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Probably get Gomez mate.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        I’d do that too

        1. _Greg
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Yoro might be class soon at 4.3m, wait and see.

          1. _Greg
            • 16 Years
            1 year, 4 months ago

            plus Martinez nailed at 4.4m with Shaw injured but again, early sub danger.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I went with Onana a few weeks ago. Been decent

      1. _Greg
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        he's the only United defender you can hang your hat on. Maz will start every game he's fit but that early sub could easily happen again.

      2. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Gomes may only last a few gameweeks? Plus he has 0 goal threat. Never ever scored. But he is an option for the possible clean sheets. Else i was considering dalot

        1. _Greg
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          Konate out for 5-6 weeks though.

    3. PabloDiscobar
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't touch Robbo. Tsimikas soon to be back and Slot has rotated them quite a bit so far. As for for manu defenders wouldn't go there until GW 17/18. Your best bet might be Joe Gomez (possibly a rotation risk for festive period)

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

      Wan Bissaka looks essential

    5. Tommie5491
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I've just done Gomez - you're guaranteed a couple of cleanies

      Also best do it quick as Gomez going up and Konate going down tonight

  10. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Why are the offside reviews still taking so long? I thought we were supposed to be having automated offside this season like we had in the world cup?

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Next year apparently. Not right bringing it in midway through a season imo.

  11. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    VDV > Gabriel + Mbeumo > Mitoma, Rashford or Bowen.

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I'd consider going cheap on the midfielder so you can buy another Arsenal or Liverpool defender as well later.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Jarrod ”just got my eight blank this season” Bowen?

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

    Henderson or Fabby pick tonight was close so glad I went with Hendo and stuck Fabby on the bench. New manager bounce is real.

  13. Mighty Duck
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 4 months ago

    West Ham's turning point for 2-3

  14. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Does being offside by a couple of inches really give you a competitive advantage

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Quite the opposite actually..

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Well if it’s flagged for offside and with VAR of course not I should say.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Of course

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Based on what mathematical calculation for each offside scenario ?

        There needs to be real data to support the claim.

    3. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Maybe not, but you literally have to draw the line somewhere. I liked the old ‘daylight’ rule.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Did you ever meet TutanKhamun?

        1. tutankamun
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          My cousin

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 4 months ago

            Nice. I met his mummy the other day.

        2. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 4 months ago

          He was born in Arizona

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      where do you draw the line, how many grains of sand make a heap

  15. Zidane's Floor
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Bowen and Kudus disaster class

    I deserve it

  16. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    May as well leave the floodlights on and see if Hammers can score before midnight once Leicester are in the showers

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Hehehe

  17. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    A or B please?

    A) Davis to VVD
    B) VDB to Timber

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    3-0

  19. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Leif Davis is just useless......every match he is so close to getting something but somehow he always manages to dodge points

    1. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      They don’t have finishers, Delap is overrated

  20. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Daka G

  21. Goodfeathers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Whoa. What a finish by Daka

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      where was the save Fab :mrgreen:

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    is this a job potter would/will take?

  23. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Sack him
    Get Moyes back
    Drop Fabianski

  24. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Daka can

  25. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Bye bye Floputegui

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

      Bummer - he rotated ok with Pickford.

  26. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Flappy get out of my team

  27. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Lopetegui
    Left Spain NT before a major tournament to become RMA manager
    Left Wolves just before the start of the season disappointed by no transfers
    You deserve this…

  28. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    West Ham are really, really bad

  29. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    How many errors from Wham players tonight

  30. PabloDiscobar
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    The inevitable manager change might actually make West Ham players appealing again. A shame it didn't happen before this run of fixtures
