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.

          Did he do anything? Looks like he's gone off the boil

    A little help?

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

        Leaning towards Dave.

        Fixtures - plus a new manager pushing for better performances…

      • Amartey Partey

        A. Might keep a CS against Southampton next

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

          Prob switching gw 16 if I do

      • Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        De Gea certainly has the fixtures coming up. You must have a good team if you have the luxury of a GK transfer!

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

          Ha. The rest is ok I think.

          For now.

        Getting rid of Semedo this weekend? Who is good replacement up to 5m? Cheers

        Ffs Leeds players are so infuriating don’t shoot when you can’t just keep calm and pass to Raph

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

        Leeds have totally changed their style. So defensive these last few weeks.

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

          Went from being one of the most entertaining teams to watch last season to one of the most boring.

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

          Defensive is fine if you are consistently winning 1 or 2 nil.

          1. james 101
            • 12 Years

            Not my tram though…

        2 years, 3 months ago

        This Forshaw chap is so wasteful in the final 3rd.

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

          Fits right in at Leeds

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Forshaw just shooting from anywhere

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

          He just does not want to pass to Raph anymore

      • Fish up a tree
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Outside of Salah & Jota which mids are the next ones to bring in?

        Currently have 2 spots to fill with Raph & Mbeumo on their last rites

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

          Lots jumping on Gundo, but I preferred B Silva. He's low key, gone under the radar so far this season, ticking along with a goal or assist every few games.

          Not the most explosive, but as nailed as a mid can get in the City team.

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

            I can't get myself to buy another city midfielder after being burned by Torres and Foden.

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

              I did Foden to B Silva this week. Also had Torres on my WC gameweek 3.

              Guess I never learn...

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

                I had Torres Jota on my WC gameweek 3 and it went terribly, ended up selling both ASAP

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

                I mean on paper Silva is a great pick. Especially for Watford. The only issue is Pep.

        2. JONALDINHO
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Foden when he’s back from injury and possibly a United mid ( Sancho / Rashford) in a few weeks. Bowen if your looking for someone a bit cheaper

        3. Zalk
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Let us know when you know! I have a couple of spots free too.

      • tommo-uk-
        • 11 Years

        Raphinha starting to frustrate me as an fpl asset. Might be time to move him on…

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Starting?

        2. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Hes always like this, then will grab a goal or assist from nowhere.
          I'll take his cs point if given choice right now!

          1. tommo-uk-
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Lol

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

          This is him unfortunately. Flatters to decieve, in FPL terms at least.

      • JBay
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Benteke coming in.

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

        James, well done. Forshaw, absolutely awful.

      • jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Dallas channeling his inner phil jones

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

          😆

      • thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Frustrating to own Raph isn’t he? Had him since GW1. A decent couple of returns from time to time. A fair few no shows and blanks.
        Trouble is that Leeds are a shadow of last season. They need Bamford back desperately. Raph would be grand in a functioning attack, but he can’t carry them every week

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

          This is why I got rid for Cornet a couple of weeks back. He can't keep carrying their attack alone with the poor form of the rest of the midfield and attack (and to be fair two of his goals were crosses)

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

            Oh yes, brought him in for Vardy GW12 to fund Son over Jota lol but at least he got a jammy goal tonight!

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

              I have had Jesus since it was "Foden in time" and he has been definition of word unlucky.

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

            King an option after MCI.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years

            Dennis or any cheapie, upgrade elsewhere. I am planning to sell Toney soon, Antonio is gone already.

        2. BIG TONES

          Gallagher and Raphina both a million miles away from bps! don’t really want either in my team next week…

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

            Might as well hold Raph for BRE if you've come this far

            Is Gallagher still taking direct free kicks?

            Is a Tuesday night garden centre game. Turgid and of a very poor quality indeed.

                It was when United were unstoppable, clean sheets/BAPs galore with goals thrown in too
