Saturday’s opening fixture Norwich City against Everton at Carrow Road. The Canaries go in search of just their second win in 11 matches, while the Toffees could stretch out their unbeaten streak to six with a result in Norfolk.

Despite turning out strong performances in their previous two home clashes, Norwich have struggled in attack over the last four Gameweeks, ranking second-bottom for goals (two), third-bottom for attempts (27) and bottom for shots inside the box (14). That being said, Alex Neil will draw encouragement from the fact they conceded just four goals during that period and claimed their first clean sheet of the campaign.

No team racked up more goals (nine) than Everton across the last four Gameweeks. Furthermore, they charted joint-second for shots on target (23), as they continue to profit from a favourable schedule. Although the Merseysiders restricted their opponents to four big chances, only four teams conceded more shots inside the box (33) – which paints a different picture in regards to their shut-out prospects.

    If a captain doesn't play, does the VC get the captain points or the first sub?

    In what scenario does Kolarov tend to come on? When they're trailing or when they are defending a lead?

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      when Pelle hasn't benched a Clean Sheet

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I think KDB gets a cameo and Kolarov stays on the bench. Unless there are defensive injuries.

        1. Carcetti
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Hope you're right.

    Good time for this then:

    So Jaffa's hot-topic got me thinking, here's what I discovered:

    2014/2015 PL Season Man City Stats

    Kolarov with Clichy on bench: 8

    Played 90 - 7

    Didn't play 90- 1

    Kolarov without Clichy on the bench: 8

    Played 90 – 8

    Didn't play 90: 0

    Clichy with Kolarov on bench: 14

    Played 90: 13

    Didn't play 90: 1

    Clichy without Kolarov on the bench: 8

    Played 90: 8

    Didn't play 90: 0

    Number of times Kolarov came on for 1 point: 5

    Number of times both started together: 0

    Conclusion: Kolarov started 16 times and Clichy started 22 times in the PL last season, whichever one started, played 90 minutes in almost all occasions bar once for each player.

    Kolarov came off the bench (when Clichy started) 5 times for 1 point. Rotation risk – yes. But when he doesn't play, a good cover could be wonders

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

    2. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      He also stars in Neighbours. Busy guy.

  13. antolol
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Ayew used as a forward?
    Does this increase his prospects or are the Swans too poor to even consider at all now?

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Sold him last night

  14. JJO
    • 13 Years

    Motallas coming for Delou or Kone

    1. JJO

  17. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    KEY LINEUP CHANGES

    - No Kolarov and KDB. Clichy and Navas start instead.
    - Ayew OOP
    - Pelle dropped, Long starts. Mane OOP
    - Jenkinson dopped

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Nice summary 🙂

      Not nice for me though 🙁

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Stekelenberg injured? Must be presumably as not on bench?

      2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Same 🙁

      3. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

    2. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      KDB dropped for Navas. If City fail to win, their fans will be livid. How is Sterling starting?

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Mane not upfront

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Long up front I would think?

    4. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Where will Mane play?

      Don't see Soton getting much at Palace, personally.

    5. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Jenkinson doped?

    6. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
