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.

        Lovely dogs. Not going to stop Haaland getting 4 though

  4. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 22 days ago

    Will try that again, Haaland dropping very deep, not getting any service…

    1. The Night Trunker.
      • 2 Years
      4 months, 22 days ago

      Rolling in the deep.

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 22 days ago

      did people really captain a player with 2 goals all season over Haaland?

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 22 days ago

        Mbeumo could obviously still bang.

    4. Punned It
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 22 days ago

      Had Mbuemo capped up until ten minutes before deadline, then I chickened out for Haaland. Thankfully.

      Will Guimaraes get off the bench for the inevitable onepointer, or do I get Welbeck off the bench?

    5. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 22 days ago

      I'm still surprised why no cc suggested Doku as a replacement for Sarr
