Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins with three matches on Tuesday night.

Bournemouth v Everton and Fulham v Manchester City gets us underway at 7.30pm GMT, with Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur kicking off 45 minutes later.

TEAM NEWS

In a week when we’re expecting a bit of rotation and a few shock benchings, Pep Guardiola plays contrarian by naming an unchanged side.

Fulham boss Marco Silva makes two alterations as Sasa Lukic and Emile Smith Rowe replace Joshua King and Samuel Chukwueze.

The biggest teamsheet surprise comes at the Vitality, where Michael Keane is absent for visitors Everton.

Charly Alcaraz comes in.

Bournemouth make four changes, one enforced as Marcos Senesi is suspended.

Justin Kluivert, Veljko Milosavljevic, Alex Jimenez and Junior Kroupi come in as Evanilson, Marcus Tavernier and Adam Smith are benched.

In the later game, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Elanga drop to the bench as Eddie Howe continues to minute manage.

Sandro Tonali and Jacob Murphy replace them.

Spurs boss Thomas Frank is tinkering again, too, resting Micky van de Ven.

Joao Palhinha, Archie Gray and Richarlison also make way.

Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr and Brennan Johnson come into the side.

      26 days, 18 hours ago

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        26 days, 18 hours ago

        Wanted semenyo to foden, had sarr issue like so many

      o/
      Got him on FH last week and he was 1 of my 3 transfers in this week.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        26 days, 18 hours ago

        Nice

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      26 days, 18 hours ago

      Sarr to Foden wasn't financially possible for me.

  2. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    26 days, 18 hours ago

    Looks like Semenyo, Ndiaye out for Foden, 6.2 mid for a hit is on the cards this week haha

  3. Tommy J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    26 days, 18 hours ago

    At last a good decision-I swapped Sarr and Semenyo to Foden and Minteh-hoorah!

  4. Pompel
    • 11 Years
    26 days, 18 hours ago

    Surely he gets benched in the weekend to troll everyone of us who tries to jump on the train....

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      26 days, 18 hours ago

      Sounds about right 😛

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      26 days, 18 hours ago

      I thought that would happen this GW, so yeah next

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        26 days, 18 hours ago

        Ditto!

        Sunderland and then Palace away definitely less appealing entry points… would like to wait til GW17 if it didn’t mean eating a likely half mil plus price rise!

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          26 days, 18 hours ago

          That's the problem

  5. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    26 days, 18 hours ago

    Going against Haaland (C) looking absolutely brutal

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      26 days, 18 hours ago

      Yeah.
      Can never get it right.
      When I captain him - he blanks.
      When going against - he hauls.

      This game man…

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 14 Years
        26 days, 18 hours ago

        That’s me too hectic stuff

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      26 days, 18 hours ago

      And with the alternatives not very clear cut for captaincy it just seems foolish. Three matches without a goal more likely means he scores well not the opposite.

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        26 days, 18 hours ago

        Now ya tell me 🙁

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          26 days, 18 hours ago

          😆

  6. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    26 days, 18 hours ago

    Semenyo and Ndiaye draining the life out of my team.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      26 days, 18 hours ago

      Couldn’t take much more of Ndiaye so got rid for Minteh

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        26 days, 18 hours ago

        Do I prioritise Pedro > Mateta or Ndiaye > Minteh?

    2. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      26 days, 18 hours ago

      Fr, still got them because I had bigger fish to fry.

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    26 days, 18 hours ago

    Maybe I’m a loser but at least I don’t have FPL Twitter account

    1. Dubem_FC
