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.

    One of my mini-league rivals triple captained Pukki. Such a ballsy move I kind of root for him.

        Well to be honest he's dead last and probably already given up on this season.

    Williams on for a 1 bonus!
    Wilson ahead of Pukki due to his superior finish for his goal

    3 - Wilson (37)
    2 - Pukki (26)
    1 - Williams (20)
    Fernández (18)
    Rupp (17)

  5. Patron

    Dear Lord, i just can’t believe selling Pukki and Toney two weeks ago on a wildcard would hurt this much. These two turned into goal machines instantly.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years

    4. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Keeping for Brentford then depending on other fires in my team I'll be ditching him.

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

      One more week then he's gone

    6. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      That time was 4 game weeks ago and I still have him, got to give him Brentford now with bamford etc back

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        But Bamford isn't back. The next game is this weekend. He's not ready to start.

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Ok, I heard he played 90 mins for the u23 so the weekend figured he should be ok, you’re just guessing tbf so let’s see

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

      Hold for BRE if you've come this far

    8. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      Cheers all

  14. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Some "fpl youtube influencers" have blamed Pukki and said that he is a bad player / not good enough. But strikers do need service. He hasn't been the one to blame.

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

      Buendia leaving was bad for him

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        also missing Cantwell IMO

    2. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely. After Norwich sold Buendia, Pukki just doesn't service.

      1. Crouching Tiger
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        *get

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Those influencers can go fak themselves.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Was it someone in "Blackbox", not certain. But there is data called xG delta.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Has been feeding off scraps for the entire game

    5. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      With the non-existent service he is getting as striker he has been clinical also this season

  15. 420king
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best replacement for Jimenez long term? I'm thinking Armstrong. Who would be your pick? (no cash ITB)

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

      I'm getting Antonio bcak

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Ronaldo

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, but read the text in brackets 😛

    3. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Good question...I'm struggling myself with this one

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Pukki!

    5. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      King

    6. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Pukki

    7. TopBinFc
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Armstrong will be rotated. I'm thinking Watkins maybe

        1. 420king
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks guys. Pukki's games aren't the best and it looks like one round too soon for King - might just go for it though.

    8. robredo10

      The footballing world goes nuts when the men destroy San Marino but the England ladies bag 20(!) goals and the professionalism and intensity is praised...? Okay then

    18. Trippier Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Can anyone name some consistent 7.0 and upward priced defenders in the past before TAA and Robbo?

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

        Vidic

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

        Baines? But he wasn't that consistent, not when he was actually £7m iirc

      3. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Vidic... don't know if he was 7.0 or more but was so consistent with the goals and clean sheets

      4. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Baines!

        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        It was before my fpl time, but I think prime vidic was maybe 7.5?

        Not sure what baines reached as well, must have been close to 7mill

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Think he was 7.5 one year

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Think he may of even been as high as 8

      7. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Baines was the ultimate attacking defender before attacking full backs became a thing

      8. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Boric, Baines
