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.

    That Rodrigo touch was some good comedy

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      ...and then rivalled by what Dan James just did

    It’s amazing what confidence (or a lack there of) does. Up until conceding Newcastle looked so comfortable and Norwich useless.

    1 great goal and suddenly there are holes and errors everywhere

    What a miss from Rodrigo.
    Wow

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I mean, it would have took a smart finish to score, but the attempt was horrendous

  4. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Raphinha >> Gundogan??

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      See after the City game, gotta be rotation now you'd expect

    2. One More Hit
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      What have I missed, today seems to have been a Gundogan-comment heavy day?

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Already?

      Great call this week, but have to wait now to see if he plays 90 for the move next GW
      I'm a bit wary that his xGI stats half when KDB is on the field over the last two seasons

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Any news on when KDB may be back?

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

          Now back, but won't feature this GW. Probably GW15 or 16.

      I did that this week 😉

        • 8 Years

        Lucky

  5. Rainer

    Rodrigo playing for the pen 😆

    7 points in - 72 in sight.

    'Mon the Toon!

    2 years, 4 months ago

    Quick poll guys:
    (Assuming no injuries etc)

    Who to lose for Jota
    a) Gallagher
    b) Cornet
    c) ESR

    1. One More Hit
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B)

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Burnley play Newcastle and Watford in the next three so I wouldn't sell Cornet.

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly! Tough one

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    will raphina ever get attacking points again?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. In the next half hour.

  9. mikey

    Will gundog rise tonight ?

    1. TopBinFc
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Alot of love for Gundo on here today

        1. One More Hit
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          A friend mentioned Gundogan was mentioned on a lot of FPL Twitter tweets so I guess it’s snowballed from there

      • HonestBlatter
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe just to get rested

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

        Maybe if Raphinha blanks and the FPL influencers start posting

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Do Barcelona have a stock of horrific fullbacks especially for selling to premier league clubs for big money?

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

      Who scores more in the next 2?
      A)Kane -4
      B)Vardy

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        The one scoring of late

      3. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy all day for me.
        Not sure why so many people think Kane is gonna magically be really good after 1 GW return in 11 games

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          It is rather mind boggling

      4. El Matador
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy won't get 90 mins tomorrow so I would place my bets on Kane

    4. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Prime commentator calling junior firpo Rodrigo for a full minute there.

    5. Grand Thibauto
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Gallagher so defensive, barely even got up to the final thirds, palace had some good breaks too

    6. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Ronaldo or Kane next GW peeps?

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

        Ronaldo not even nailed imo

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

        Kane

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

      Raph dead

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        ...and risen

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        No he's not

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

      Glad I captained Hemp in FantasyWWC! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59452221

    9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      1st shot on target the whole game, not quite the leeds of last season then

    10. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Saw a few people on twitter and magnus carlsen get in Sancho this week...what about Greenwood, is he not an option anymore now he's back? fit - or is he just not first choice?

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

        I think I’m on Foden to united midfield unless any injuries force my hand elsewhere

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

        Will get rotated in with Sancho IMO
        Ronaldo being in the team is negative for him

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

        Sancho will be much more prevalent under Ralf

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

      Zaha red check?

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

      Perhaps it was a blessing in the end only having ASM playing tonight.

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

      Rapha ouch

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

      5 from 2 not to bad I suppose

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

      Ouch that’s going to hurt.

      Hopefully he can run it off

    16. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Would you do Tierney and Jimenez to TAA and King for -4??

    17. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      OMG Gallagher 2 points added!

    18. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Having both Raphina and Gallagher is A waste of two mid spots

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Unfortunately I have no money to upgrade Gallagher

    19. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Why did Gallagher only play 47 mins - is he injured?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        You need to refresh your page sir

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

        What?

      3. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        ? He’s still on the pitch

      4. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        He's still on?

    20. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hold Guaita hold!

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Too early.

    21. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone else ditching Sa for the next gw?
      I think it's worth changing GK to someone like Ramsdale what do you think?

      1. Crystal Alice
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah he’s been good but time to go now, I’m thinking Ederson up to wildcard in GW19

      2. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Think he may go this week for me as well. Ramsdale is likely a good choice.

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

        Or de Gea

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Oh yes... He isn't usually a good FPL asset but he is having a great season, just ManU is that bad defensively so he is getting overlooked

    22. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Glad I ignored fantasy fix team optimization algorithm and didn't transfer that donkey benteke in!
