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.

    Can’t wait to sell raphinha for Bowen after the Brentford game

      Same.

    2. Duke Silver ☑

      Why is Bowen so popular?

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

        Fixtures and plays very attacking

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

        Attacking stats only behind salah jota mane in last 6 or 7 gws

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

      Did it already based on first 45mins

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

      Might double Antonio and Bowen when the fixtures turn

    5. PascalCygan

      I’m downgrading him to upgrade 4.5 striker fodder and I reckon a 4.5 mid might match his output!

    Really trying not to kick myself for not bringing in Pukki… hoping Gundogan (who I brought in for Gray instead) makes up for it! I know it’s the better move but still… Ha!

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Oh come on. Your move was way better.

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

        I know, hence the Ha! With Gundo, I’ll still be able to bring in King for 4.5 fodder (instead of Pukki). Tongue in cheek - honest!

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

      City hasn't even played yet. Gundogan could outscore Pukki

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

        I know, just being silly. Still, just a little pang of frustration!

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

          No dramas! Good luck in games ahead mate

            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Nice one, you too!

    3. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years

      Pukki is must now. Just bring him in

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        especially with those fixtures

  7. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years

    Wow that attempted finish summed up this game

  8. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Should've squared it to Pukki

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

      I can’t believe he didn’t, for goodness sake this is what happens when I watch the games lol

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I actually don't think the pass was on but I just want more Pukki points

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

          It was at the very last minute, open goal

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

      Must have had Wilson (c)

  9. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Surely benteke time soon ?

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

    What an idiot! Why didn’t he square it for Pukki?!!!

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

    Bielsa loves a half time sub. Always makes at least 1 change

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

    Cue jammy Wilson deflected goal on 97 minutes

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

    Pukki brace was so close, if he only passed...

  14. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Saved. Newcastle deserve a point

  15. james 101
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Keeper dilemma:

    A. Keep Sanchez
    B. Get de Gea
    C. Get Ransdale

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B. Shhhh

  18. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Hayden is the worst player on the pitch.
    Not a single contribution

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

    Newcastle lose this game without Dubravka in nets

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Relegate both teams!

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Probably

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

      Newcastle will stay up if they open the cheque book in January

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        They need 8 players 😀

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      They look very likely to both go at this point.

  21. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I think we can all agree that was done shitee football

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

    Wilson 9pts

    I'll take that and run

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

      I'm staying for one more gw

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

    Williams getting a bonus point despite conceding and no attacking return says it all!

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      My rival got Williams from 3rd off his bench last week with 7 points lol he had Reguilon Foden and Son miss out!

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

      he also only played 72 minutes

  24. HTL
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Cracking last 20 mins at Sid James

    Pukki has actually had 3 goals in his last four matches. And I have Jesus... Shame on me. Unfortunately Pukki party is over with those sour fixtures coming. And if this is all canaries can do against New with 10 men, it's simply not enough.

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

    Well Norwich are an awful team. If you own any of their players then you're a fool, sorry, but you are.

    We will take heart from that and I think we will hammer Burnley.

    Pukki swings a leg and they will say class finish, but it was an absolute fluke.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Did you captain him?

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

        No Kane in the end

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Did Vardy to Kane for a hit. Could get ugly

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

      I strongly disagree^. You need talent to be "lucky". Pukki has matched his xG delta this season.

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years

      I have Gilmour. I guess I'm a fool... 😆

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        I have him too, and in fairness the OP is pretty much right.

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

      Lol you sour because you can’t even beat Norwich at home

      Newcastle are the worst team in the league

    5. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      You just drew at home with that ‘awful’ team and you think you’re going to hammer Burnley?

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

        We had 10men for 80mins you absolute dosser

        1. Grande Tubarão
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Ah, you’re one of them that started supporting Newcastle a couple of weeks ago when the money came in aren’t you? I can see from your posting history that you didn’t even watch the match which explains your opinions.

    6. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Loyal toon without a win in 14 games.

  27. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Almost Raphinha AA

  28. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Wilson on 3 bps?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  29. g40steve
    • 6 Years

  30. DycheDycheBaby
