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.

  14. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    I have been benching KDH for the past 3 weeks and of course now he will blank when I include him in the playing 11

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      He's also playing cdm with Alcaraz at cam
      Due to Gueye suspension

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        4 months, 13 days ago

        That Keane news came out of nowhere...had I known he is out, I would have benched KDH

        And I have benched Thiago as well so pretty sure he will get a jammy pen and break my double ARS CS

  15. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Haaland only one goal so far? Bit of a fail imo.
