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.

    Any chance Mateta or Saka gets a rest? Want Reijnders points

    1. henrysquire
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      Saka - not if they're being chased down by City.
      Mateta - not after that Sarr injury.

      Nunez was shocking

  12. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Forgot to swap Sarr out until today and was 0.1 short of Foden. Ouch.

  13. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Wilson A

  14. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    Important Fulham G for not taking Haaland off too early

    1. Drizzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

  17. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    I owned ESR last season

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      So did I... Or was it the previous season? I also bought him with Saka, and another Arsenal player (øde/Martinelli) on WC and had my best season until later.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 18 days ago

        He was good for a (very) short while

  18. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Ffs I hate you City. Dominate games and still concede from nothing. Double defence in the toilet

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      Imagine getting Nunes last week instead of Foden

  19. The Night Trunker.
    • 2 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Get out of my team Donnarhumatoid

  20. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Q.
    What minute will city concede in?
    A.
    First half injury time

  21. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Thabsk for nothing oreilly, useless dud

  22. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Foden + Haaland(C) get innnnnnnnnn

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      Great, isn't it. Couldn't quite bring myself to play the triple up away from home, so benched Reijnders.

  23. Eastman
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Think my new tactic for playing this game is finally working. Get every 50/50 call wrong. Every late transfer wrong, tc wrong and odd captain change wrong. It’s about this time in the season when you really are past caring. Feel quite liberated

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      oh come on, what's your OR?

  24. henrysquire
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Semenyo to Foden looking like the play.

  25. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Woltemade with an early header wide

    Newcastle on it

  26. iFash@FPL
    • 2 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    From GW15 onwards, Fernandes or Foden?

    1. OneTeamInBristol
      • 2 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      Both

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 18 days ago

        Yeah I'm thinking both

      2. iFash@FPL
        • 2 Years
        4 months, 18 days ago

        Eventually yes, but can only do one of them for GW15. So, which one first?

        1. OneTeamInBristol
          • 2 Years
          4 months, 18 days ago

          Foden

          1. iFash@FPL
            • 2 Years
            4 months, 18 days ago

            Grazie!

  27. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Semenyos last goal was in GW 7 , if he doesn't score today , any point in holding him ?

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      Yeah cause Chelsea is the type of game he could haul in

  28. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Was Sensei banned for two games?

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      no

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      just 1

  29. el polako
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    What’s the point of Donnaruma?

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 18 days ago

      Point? He might get 2

  30. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 18 days ago

    Once I know Phil is safe, he's coming in.
