Tuesday’s FPL team news: Edouard in for Benteke as Rashica and Cantwell miss out

A full midweek schedule of Premier League matches kicks off tonight, with Newcastle United v Norwich City and Leeds United v Crystal Palace getting Gameweek 14 underway.

The games begin at 19:30 and 20:15 BST respectively.

Newcastle, who remain the only Premier League team without a win, make three changes from their Gameweek 13 loss at Arsenal, with Ciaran Clark (£4.4m) and Jamal Lewis (£4.2m) replacing the suspended Jamaal Lascelles (£4.4m) and Matt Ritchie (£4.9m), with Javier Manquillo (£4.0m) also getting the nod ahead of Emil Krafth (£4.3m).

Elsewhere, Dwight Gayle (£5.3m) features as a substitute having recovered from a hamstring injury.

As for Norwich, Dean Smith makes two changes, as Lukas Rupp (£4.4m) comes in for Mathias Normann (£4.5m), who is set to see a specialist due to a recurring pelvic issue, while Christos Tzolis (£4.8m) replaces the injured Milot Rashica (£5.2m), who is out with a groin problem.

Todd Cantwell (£5.3m), meanwhile, is also absent with a Covid-related issue.

The Canaries have taken seven points from their last three games, with Fantasy interest mostly centred around Teemu Pukki (£5.8m), who has scored two goals during that time.

Marcelo Bielsa makes three changes from the XI that drew 0-0 at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, with Pascal Struijk (£4.4m), Mateusz Klich (£5.4m) and Tyler Roberts (£4.8m) coming in for Junior Firpo (£4.7m), Rodrigo (£6.3m) and Jack Harrison (£5.6m), all of whom are substitutes.

Patrick Vieira also makes three switches, with Luka Milivojevic (£5.4m), Michael Olise (£5.4m) and Christian Benteke (£6.4m) dropping out for Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.4m), Odsonne Edouard (£6.5m) and Jordan Ayew (£5.8m).

Influential defender Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) misses out again with a hamstring injury.

    Anyone else targeting Watford? Gundogan next week maybe?

      Yep Raph to Gundog looks nailed on

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Trying to get on his once a season unreal run of scoring form.

      2. Flynny

        Wary of gundog

        Won't be be huge rotation risk when kdb back

    Wilson such a massive differential around my rank.

    Only 6.62% EO 😯

    1. TomSaints

      I have limited confidence he’ll last the Christmas period without injury (sadly) but Newcastle have to win a few to stay up and if they do he’ll be in the points

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        He's gone from my team after the Burnley game anyhow

      2. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I’ve got him for NOR,BUR,lei

        He’s gone after that. Season defining games for Newcastle with an all out attack manager at the helm and Wilson being on pens.

        Short term pick and satisfied for now.

    My main rival brought in Wilson this week for Jiminez, unreal luck week after week haha.. I can’t catch a break! Need Jesus to score, lol.

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Every chance Jesus scores if he plays

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

      Why is that classified as unreal luck? Good calculated move really.

    Well Raphina and Gallagher have both been rubbish fantasy options tonight despite both being on set pieces. They even combined to get Gallagher a YC for me. Jees.

    1. Camzy

      So far I'm happy to have sold Raph. But one more half to survive. Gallagher I didn't expect much from tbh.

      1. Nomar

        You'll be fine. Leeds are pants this season.

  5. have you seen cyan

    I dont think Newcastle will ever turn into a Man City tbh, they will buy some players but they will be bad signings, it will be like what Everton did, buy people like Iwobi for 40mil.
    I bet they buy Dele Alli 😀

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Or Lingard

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Lingard is too good, I think Rangnick will like Lingard actually

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

      Richest club in the world no?

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      They will always be pretty damn bad

    4. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Really? They are a huge regional club with great stadium and fans.

      Plus they actually have some history. I can very much see them chasing top 4 in 2-3 seasons time

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I think they would like that, but I dont think it will happen.

    5. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      We don't want to be Man City. We will eat pieces of sh!!t like Man City for breakfast.

      Only way to get big names in will be on loan anyways.

    7. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nah they will be quality when the money is pumped in. Proper club with proper fans and stadium. All that's missing is actual good players
