Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins with three matches on Tuesday night.

Bournemouth v Everton and Fulham v Manchester City gets us underway at 7.30pm GMT, with Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur kicking off 45 minutes later.

TEAM NEWS

In a week when we’re expecting a bit of rotation and a few shock benchings, Pep Guardiola plays contrarian by naming an unchanged side.

Fulham boss Marco Silva makes two alterations as Sasa Lukic and Emile Smith Rowe replace Joshua King and Samuel Chukwueze.

The biggest teamsheet surprise comes at the Vitality, where Michael Keane is absent for visitors Everton.

Charly Alcaraz comes in.

Bournemouth make four changes, one enforced as Marcos Senesi is suspended.

Justin Kluivert, Veljko Milosavljevic, Alex Jimenez and Junior Kroupi come in as Evanilson, Marcus Tavernier and Adam Smith are benched.

In the later game, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Elanga drop to the bench as Eddie Howe continues to minute manage.

Sandro Tonali and Jacob Murphy replace them.

Spurs boss Thomas Frank is tinkering again, too, resting Micky van de Ven.

Joao Palhinha, Archie Gray and Richarlison also make way.

Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr and Brennan Johnson come into the side.

    Sorry for doubting you Burn (as nice as that clean sheet would have been)

    Hilarious (unless you're a Wolt owner).

  3. Mr. O'Connell

    Livramento blatant push on Richy. Ignored. These refs just make it up.

    What a nonsense of a decision. VAR hasn't made a single thing fairer.

      Ridiculous decision.

    1. Feanor
      11 months, 13 days ago

      Gordon is their penalty taker when he's on the pitch. This was known

    Early thoughts…

    Best duo here???

    A- Foden(Sunderland home) Woltemade(Burnley home)
    Or
    B- Bruno(Wolves away) Welbeck(West Ham home)

    Both exactly same price!!

    Cheers everyone!!

      1. Fifa las vegas
        11 months, 13 days ago

        Wish we knew what was going to happen with Foden. Might just risk Semenyo to him tonight. But then Pep will strike

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          11 months, 13 days ago

          Yeah it Semenyo who il be selling yo Foden too, think is works the risk

  11. JBG
    11 months, 13 days ago

    What the actual fxk was that from Gordon and Woltemade???

    1. JBG
      11 months, 13 days ago

      And Burn back up to 8pts(if bonus stays like this).

  12. Brosstan
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Gotta check if these refs own Burn... not a penalty in a million years given just so he can get A and bonus. Joke.

  13. Babit1967
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Bruno G best be holding onto these bonus points here.

  14. Assisting the assister
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Worth a hit to get in Phil for Semenyo/Sarr?

  15. Not again Shirley
    11 months, 13 days ago

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Romero will a overhead kick!

  20. Brosstan
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Must be nice to be the team on the day that the VAR bus has just randomly decided that should win the game. Feel for Tottenham.

    1. Brosstan
      11 months, 13 days ago

      Justice unless VAR finds some random BS to chalk it off.

    2. Feanor
      11 months, 13 days ago

      Your whining is insufferable

      1. Brosstan
        11 months, 13 days ago

        The inconsistent reffing from VAR is insufferable.

    3. BUZZBOMB ♡
      11 months, 13 days ago

      VAR bus left at 6 o'clock. You missed it buddy.
      The ref made the decision, not VAR. And he explained why. And he's correct. Dry yer eyes mate.

      1. Brosstan
        11 months, 13 days ago

        If you think that was a pen and not a constructed situation by Burn you dont understand football at all. Just like the clueless refs.

        1. BUZZBOMB ♡
          11 months, 13 days ago

          I played senior football for almost17 years mate. You?

          What refereeing badges do you have?

          Them's the rules and they were applied likey or no likey.

  21. Kaneyonero
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Who has Romero? Lol

  22. Sgt. Schultz
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Romario 😉 G

  23. Paganoi

  24. FPL Scoop

    Noooo, Burn -1

  25. Bigbars
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Thank god I didn't go for Thiaw or Miley which was my original plan... Is noone defending these days.. maybe time for me to go back to 352 or 343

  26. Atimis
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Would you prioritise Foden or Minteh for GW15?
    Minteh vs WH, Foden vs SUN. No Europe for Brighton whereas City will be before CL game vs Real.

    1. Assisting the assister
      11 months, 13 days ago

      Phil

      1. Bigbars
        11 months, 13 days ago

        i'm punting on Salah/Bruno out for Foden for a 1 week gamble I think, unless I hear something that scares me out of it.

  27. JBG
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Quick everyone! Bring in Romero, he'll do this again, just like VDV did

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 13 days ago

    FFS Pope why did you have to get injured. Ramsdale ain't fit to lace your boots.

  29. Bluetiger1
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Thomas Frank - oh dear oh dear - looks like another Antonio Conte/Jose Mourinho - hope the Spurs faithful stick with him

  30. Khalico
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Long term Senesi or Thiaw?
