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.

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      Is that confirmed? Or just temporary before confirmation.

  9. Old Gregg
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

  10. LeytonOrient
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Foden rising on Sunday did me out of Foden + Doku. Instead I have Bruno F + Andersen. LOVING LIFE RN.

  11. Sir Michael Taker
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Leno has been very bad for a while now. Blind loyalty keeping him in the net

  12. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Anyone doing Semenyo to Foden tonight?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      1. LeytonOrient

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 13 days ago

        because I bought Andersen instead of Foden this week 😀

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      I could do him or Rogers to Foden, but Foden not scheduled to go up yet

    3. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      Probs Mburmo to Foden, and Donerkebabhands to any other keeper

    4. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

  13. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

      1. PartyTime

  14. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Free hit this week with Foden and Doku was the play....

  15. The Night Trunker.
    • 2 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

  16. TheBrazilianRonaldo
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    If only Donnarumma was taller, maybe he would save something.

  17. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

  18. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Maybe I will have to FH this weekend to get around benching

  19. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    I know Kudus is a random and quite underwhelming pick but would you start him (h) to Brentford over Semenyo (h) to Chelsea?

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      yes

  20. LeytonOrient
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Okay Kudus just need you to outscore Foden to get me back on top my ML ty bro

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

  21. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Thierno Barry continues to impress. [facepalm]

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      Calvert Lewin > Beto > Barry

      That club is cursed when it comes to strikers.

      1. nanxun
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 13 days ago

        I know. I've been a supporter for 20 years. 🙁

  22. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Evanilson on

    Semenyo definitely nt getting any points now

  23. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Surely Pep rings the changes after 60 minutes

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

    Well done Nunes, just a few more defcons

  25. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Can do Semenyo > Foden right now.

    If Foden rises tonight I can’t afford it. Looks like I’m making an early transfer

  26. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Had enough money to do semenyo to foden. Damn.

    1. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      Same. Absolute idiot i am. He'll blank next week now

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      Me too for exact funds would of been for a hit though, ah well, Semenyo > Foden 100% happening

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 13 days ago

        I've already done it.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          4 months, 13 days ago

          Good move man!

  27. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Can someone go back in time and just tell me to do Semenyo to Foden already

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      I know. I had the money but I didn’t want to take a -4 🙁

  28. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Semenyo to foden could be one of the most popular moves in fpl history

    1. wiseguy
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      He'll definitely get rested for the Sunderland game. FPL inevitability

    2. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      Means Foden gets rested and Semenyo hauls at the weekend.

  29. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Brought in Foden last gw, without FH. Best decision I have made this season.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      4 months, 13 days ago

      Very nice!

  30. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 13 days ago

    Doku off
