Tuesday team news: Greaves starts, Faes + Emerson benched

Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins with two matches on Tuesday evening.

Ipswich Town v Crystal Palace gets underway at 19:30 GMT, while Leicester City v West Ham United kicks off at 20:15 GMT.

There are five changes in all at Portman Road.

Four of them are made by the hosts, including the recall of Jacob Greaves after a six-match absence.

The 3.9%-owned budget defender replaces fellow left-sided centre-half Cameron Burgess, who is not in the hosts’ squad.

Dropping to the bench are Conor Chaplin and Sammie Szmodics, while Axel Tuanzebe is out long term with a hamstring injury.

Harry Clarke, Wes Burns and Jack Clarke are recalled alongside Greaves.

There’s just one change for the Eagles as Cheick Doucoure comes in for Jefferson Lerma.

Eberechi Eze, just back from injury in Gameweek 13, starts for the second time in little more than 72 hours.

Ruud van Nistelrooy makes four changes to the Leicester City XI in his first match in charge.

Wout Faes, Caleb Okoli, Luke Thomas and Jordan Ayew drop out.

In come Jannik Vestergaard, Victor Kristiansen, Kasey McAteer and Bilal El Khannouss.

As for West Ham, Julen Lopetegui makes five alterations.

Jeanclear Todibo misses out through injury, while Emerson Palmieri, Lucas Paqueta, Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio are benched.

Konstantinos Mavropanos, Vladimir Coufal, Mohammed Kudus, Edson Alvarez and Danny Ings take their places.

Kudus is back from a five-match ban.

Also on the bench for the Hammers is the fit-again Niclas Fullkrug.

        I had a feeling he would start. A defeat like the one at NFO usually causes a shake up with the team selection.

      It's a funny old game.

        Hopefully he is wrong about the Jackson benching. That one really threw me.

          • 4 Years
          24 days, 13 hours ago

          However Rogers has home match against Southampton. Gotta fit him in somehow.

          24 days, 13 hours ago

          Fixture congestion makes me hesitant - could be some otherwise nailed starters get rotated.

            e.g. bellow I see Faes and Emerson both dropped to the bench midweek.

        Thoughts pls..

        1. HelmutCool
          • 2 Years
          24 days, 13 hours ago

          Both you think of selling got a decent fixture.
          Taking a hit for 2 with no attacking returns projected seems wrong.

        2. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          terrible idea

      12. Drumandbaines123
        • 4 Years
        24 days, 13 hours ago

        FPL stats had Gvardiol certain to drop in price earlier but now nowhere near. Odd

        1. The Knights Template
          • 11 Years
          24 days, 13 hours ago

          He’s moving to Odd?

        2. WVA
          • 8 Years
          24 days, 13 hours ago

          I’ve kept my eye on price changes for many years, they make it up as they go along!

          Suggest using livefpl.net/prices.

          Site below tracks the accuracy of price change predictors and LiveFPL is the most accurate

            Although they all predict a lot of false positives which kind of makes none of them very accurate.

        4. Amartey Partey
          • 5 Years
          24 days, 13 hours ago

          Seems strange to sell Gvardiol when he has Forest (H) and Palace (A) next.

              Guehi defaced the rainbow armband and Morsy isn’t wearing one at all

        Looks like a mini Allianz Arena. Beautiful blue LED lights. Shame I benched Greaves though.

        Come on, Palace!

          Manager doesn't have CB on bench - it's a policy.

      16. Bobby Digital
        • 7 Years
        24 days, 13 hours ago

        VvD or Gabriel (got Raya)?

        1. WVA

          In exactly the same boat, let’s see how this game week goes!

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 7 Years
            24 days, 13 hours ago

            Yeah I need to get rid of Mykolenko. Everton fixtures turn bad

      17. WVA
        • 8 Years
        24 days, 13 hours ago

        Who would you bench?

        Salah Palmer Saka Bruno Rogers
        Jackson Cunha Pedro

        1. Mr. Eko
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          24 days, 13 hours ago

          Wait for the Jackson YC

          1. WVA
            • 8 Years
            24 days, 12 hours ago

            That would be glorious

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          24 days, 13 hours ago

          Can't bench any of the Mids so I would go with Jackson, Spurs game looks like the one he might pick up a yellow card in.

          1. WVA
            • 8 Years
            24 days, 12 hours ago

            I brought Jackson in for Soton without thinking but I’ve just realised I hate doubling up in defence or attack so I’ll probably end up benching him next week lol

            24 days, 13 hours ago

            few captained haaland and salah

            southampton have been decent last few games

          2. Snoop Udogie Dogg
            • 4 Years
            24 days, 12 hours ago

            No

        • Amartey Partey
          • 5 Years
          24 days, 13 hours ago

          Ipswich and Palace... I can't think of a more boring game.

          1. Amartey Partey
            • 5 Years
            24 days, 13 hours ago

            Actually... Everton vs Palace would be number one most boring. This would be two.

          2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 14 Years
            24 days, 12 hours ago

            anything involving city is typically boring when they are in form

            • 12 Years
            24 days, 12 hours ago

            At least there is the option of switching to Leicester vs West Ham at Halftime

            1. Amartey Partey
              • 5 Years
              24 days, 12 hours ago

              Yeah, that one on paper should be goals, especially with Ruud in charge of Leicester.
