2pm kick-off team news as Burnley v Spurs is postponed

Sunday’s match between Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions, but there are still three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST – Brentford v Everton, Leicester City v Watford and Manchester City v West Ham United.

For Man City, Phil Foden (£8.2m) and Jack Grealish (£7.6m) are both missing from the matchday squad, with Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m), Raheem Sterling (£10.6m) and Gabriel Jesus (£8.7m) leading the line in Pep Guardiola’s 4-3-3 formation.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) remains sidelined following his positive Covid-19 test.

David Moyes makes just the one change from Gameweek 12, as Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m) drops to the bench, with Arthur Masuaku (£4.4m) coming into the starting XI.

Meanwhile, Thomas Frank makes two changes from last weekend’s 3-3 draw at Newcastle United, as Charlie Goode (£3.9m) and Frank Onyeka (£4.9m) replace Mads Roerslev (£4.3m) and Saman Ghoddos (£5.3m), who are both benched.

Everton, who are winless since Gameweek 6, make three changes as Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.4m) returns from injury and starts ahead of Fabian Delph (£4.4m), while Alex Iwobi (£5.8m) and Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) also feature from the off.

Notably, Demarai Gray (£5.6m) returns from injury and starts on the bench.

Elsewhere, Leicester’s starting XI features Jonny Evans (£5.4m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.6m), while Ben Foster (£4.1m) misses out for Watford, with Daniel Bachmann (£4.2m) in goal.

  3. AC Yew

    Started Foster over Sanchez. Since he won't play do I get the Sanchez points?

    1. Sun Jihai

      Y

    2. dabber7

      Of course

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I will allow it

  4. Firmino

    Vardy ruins the gameweek

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Not for everyone…

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Unfortunately so 🙁

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      No Vardy no party

    4. Andy_Social

  5. Lord of Ings

    2 years, 4 months ago

    Would a take a -4 and do
    Foden + livra—>Gundogan + Reece James (-4)
    Or
    Just foden to Gundogan FT.

    That Calvert Lewin is an odd one. Wearing a table cloth in his latest advert.

    He’s heading the way of Bellarin and should concentrate on getting fit rather than being the new Jean Paul Gaultier

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      You should concentrate on your own life too rather than a footballers. Let him do what he wants. Wearing a table cloth doesn’t affect his football ability

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        If I’ve got a problem with men wearing table cloths I shall vent on here

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I'm wearing a tablecloth right now. It's standard over here.

            As long as it has a hole or two

      Souness, is that you? Don't forget Utd are playing later, good op to take a dig at Pogba too.

    Small mercies... FFS H2H league, opponent and myself are tied currently, but they have double Spurs and only 2 off the bench (to go 2 ahead). We both have James, Dennis, Cancelo, but I have double Hammers and CR7 to get me there probably.

    1. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Narrator: Benrahma came off on '59 (one for the General) and CR7 was booked as the game wound down. Our hero did not win or draw his H2H.

  8. CroatianHammer

    And the snow in MadChester is bonkers according to other Hammers on the ground. They'll obviously try play it out. Calling it off now would be extreme.

    1. AC/DC AFC

      They've beem cleaning the pitch quite well.

      Big disadvantage for Jamaican Antonio 🙁

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Dennis can cover him, no problema.

  14. Sun Jihai

    Any rumours, intrigued now!

    @OddsOnFPL

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sancho starting. Ronaldo had better be starting

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Ronaldo benched

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah that’s what worries me lol

    4. TheTinman
      • 8 Years

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sancho starting hopefully.

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years

      Phil Jones comeback time

    7. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      My rumour is Spurs vs Burnley to go ahead this evening please

    8. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      might just go all out attack

  15. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Cancel the City game and get the Spurs and Burnley boys up there to play instead I say

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Delay at Etihad... call it off!

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Please don’t

  17. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Foden —>Sancho for free?
    Might be a really ahead of the curve move which might/might not pay off

  18. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    5 minute delay at City clearing snow

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Fine...get wider snow scoops

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I dunno how they could see the ball - with a blizzard blowing in their faces. Expect loads of mistakes late on.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        All fine now.

        7 mins delay judging by the Brentford game.

  19. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    It might be a bit extreme but I’ve just caught a rabbit and cut its throat, a sacrifice to the god of snow, please, fall!

    1. Steve The Spud

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years

      Not a bad player. Great fixtures.

      But a bit early!

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        The games not over and I fear that one is a trap!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

    Snow proper heavy at Leicester too now.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      The sacrifice worked, let it fall!

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years

        Quick kill another

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Looks a good flurry.

  26. Isca Extremadura
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Leicester have the sprinklers on at the KP !

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Because soaking the pitch is sure to help 🙄

    2. Tigers Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm assuming they feel with a wet ground the snow won't settle - fat chance.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      That really doesn't sound like it'll help

        Void apparently but they played the first half why not play yet second

      3. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years

    3. Big boy Bowen

      I must say if it’s called off you should keep their points (non owner)
