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.

    Who's the odd one out with their top goalscorer prediction?

      Very good shout Demi

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Leicester in the bottom 4 though lol

    3. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Haha

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

      Marry me.

    5. Zizoulicious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Well played. Was that prediction based on Aguero injury proneness as well?

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yep. But mainly Deuloufeu, Lukaku pens and no Europa

    6. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Jonty has some good picks there, but yeah nice shout on lukaku there

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Top Scoring Budget Defender (5.0 and under): Ashley Williams

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

      don't think he'll be top scorer.

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        ok

    8. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      To be fair, you also reckoned Leicester would get relegated. 😀

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Haha, guilty. I think most did though. Lot of doom and gloom after Pearson got sacked and Ranieri first appointed

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Haha. Yeah, it was a reasonable prediction at the time. Leicester's season has been a thing of wonder so far.

          1. Demí
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Indeed. As a neutral, hope they carry it on. As a realist/united fan, can't see it

    9. Tansey
      • 11 Years

      This year's underachievers: Leicester

      Wow

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

      the number of you who had Sanchez Flores down as first manager to go

    11. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      How's your canist clean sheet predictions going? 😉

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        😳

  2. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Do Norwich have any players worth having in your FPL team?

    1. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Hoolahan 5th mid had something in the beginning of the season

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No, Redmond is decent but he often left on the bench

    3. Manaf
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'm too lazy to check the price of Brady. He is a decent passer and not playing as left back anymore

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

    the bad

    didn't (c) Rom

    The good, an actual Deulofeu assist

    come on Harry do yo ting

  4. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Use the force Luk

  5. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I'm sick of this "I (C) Kane instead of Lukaku" moaning. 😀

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I (C) Kane instead of Lukaku

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

      haha don't listen to 'em

    3. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      i m one of them - mehhhh

    4. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Even if Luk hits a hat trick, before the match Kane was the right move.

      1. Jay Jay Okocha
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        This. The results oriented groupthink on here is hilarious

      2. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, and I wouldn't regret anything by captaining Kane.

    5. El Patron
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Captain Kane 🙁

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I am..Kane not even played yet

  6. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Word from Opta

    Gareth Barry was in an offside position which means he influenced the game by interfering with Rudd which means he, not Deulofeu, gets the assist.

    Anyone considering getting Baines?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years

      Yup, but fixtures are tough...

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Only if he's on set pieces

  8. Jebiga

    Whats wrong with barkley today ?

    1. Epic Fail

      Being his usual self.

    2. Arctic monkeys

      Playing DEEEEP

  9. Dude1234
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Had Barkley from the start so had big price inncrease. Now thinking of switching him to deulofeu?
    Yes or no?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      You'll have better transfers to make

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Barkley likely to score more goals less often than Delafeou scores assists. Not a lot to call between them. Week in week out I prefer the spaniard.

    3. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Considering the same move myself - seems a little sideways but I think it'll be worth it.

    4. Dude1234
      • 12 Years

      Thanks Guys

    This is my first week as a Lukaku owner and it feels good

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      better late than never - welcome to the club ^^

    2. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      As an owner but not captainer I'm feeling a bit meh.. about it.
      A good few of my rivals have backed him..

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah it took me bloody ages to get Vardy this season so it feels great to finally not be missing out

  11. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    No team has conceded more goals from crosses than Norwich this season. All the stats are being rolled out now.

  12. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

    KANE HAS NOT PLAYED YET SHUTUP YOU WIMPS

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Nice optimism

  13. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Finally points for Delafeou's efforts. Surprised barry's quiff didn't get that one.

  14. Zizoulicious
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Heading rumours that due to the trajectory of Deulofeu's cross, no assist can be awarded for the goal.

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yes please.

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      haha.

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      It went out of orbit, Space assist.

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

    everyone around me in my ML went Lukaku (c) bar me

    massive gain or massive loss incoming

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Or break even.

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

        I have Del boy, only one other guy has him, so I can make up the difference

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Too early to call.

      Spurs are going to thump the barcodes.

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

      Depends who you captained, amongst other things.

  16. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Any midweek games?

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

      Dont think so

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Might do Vardy to Lukaku early

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Not for FPL teams.

  17. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Cmon Delf, we deserve some more points. Just get one goal. Please.

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      *high five*

    2. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Two goals and the assist he already got would be great.

    3. Ninja Škrtel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      this.

  18. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

  21. Rake

    (Captainer)

  22. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I've had Lukaku for the whole goal streak of his but haven't captained him once, quess what I don't care at least I have him and that's something considering the trolling he has done over the years.

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ha similar feeling with Barkley

  23. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Those that went Deulofeu instead of Barkley have been robbed in recent weeks, but I reckon he'll outscore Barkley over the Christmas

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      for sure... and i own Barkley

  24. Gaffa914
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Is the lukaku ownership including captain higher than one point per lukaku one point???

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      For top 10k it could be, but not overall.

      1. Gaffa914
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you very much

  25. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Chelsea should sign Lukaku.

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      In my FM game, they sold him to Everton for £28m, bought him back for £30mil, sold back to Everton for £30mil, then went to Coventry for Free 😆

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