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.

        Firstly, they'd be doing OK at that end without him, and secondly, if he spent more time in the other box, owners might actually have some CS points

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      26 days, 22 hours ago

      multiple offsides to look at

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      26 days, 22 hours ago

      It was tight in all fairness

      1. thegame983
        • 8 Years
        26 days, 22 hours ago

        tight, but you could tell in a nanosecond it was on.

        1. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          26 days, 22 hours ago

          Multiple offsides, not just one

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    26 days, 22 hours ago

    Why do they take so long? It was clearly onside just using the eye. Pathetic really.

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      26 days, 22 hours ago

      What do you mean "it"?

      There were multiple passes looked at

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        26 days, 22 hours ago

        All of which were clearly onside
