For the second match in a row, Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) finds himself on the Norwich City bench.

The budget midfielder enjoyed a long run of starts for the Canaries in the first 10 Gameweeks of the campaign while Onel Hernandez (£5.3m) was out injured.

With the Cuban fully recovered, he starts against Watford, making his second start of the 2019/20.

It makes for an unchanged Norwich team from the one that lost 2-0 at Brighton.

Daniel Farke went with a 4-2-3-1 on that occasion but it appears as if he has deployed his troops in a 4-1-4-1 tonight.

Tom Trybull (£4.5m) looks to be operating in the holding role with Marco Stiepermann (£5.3m) and Kenny McLean (£4.9m) in the middle of the midfield four.

As ever, Teemu Pukki (£6.8m) starts up-front after another week of mass sales among Fantasy managers.

Meanwhile, Watford’s matchday squad has Troy Deeney (£6.2m) in it for the first time since Gameweek 2.

The centre-forward has been recovering with a long-term injury and is fit enough only for the bench.

Quique Sanchez Flores has stuck with his favoured three-man defence, which has produced better performances in recent weeks.

Craig Cathcart (£4.4m), Christian Kabasele (£4.3m) and Craig Dawson (£4.8m) make up the trio in Gameweek 12, with Jose Holebas (£4.7m) and Daryl Janmaat (£4.3m) on the flanks of midfield.

There does appear to be a slight tweak to the usual 3-5-2 deployed under Flores of late, with Will Hughes (£5.5m) pushing out of the midfield to sit as a number 10 behind Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m).

Norwich City XI (4-1-4-1): Krul; Lewis, Godfrey, Tettey, Aarons; Trybull; Hernandez, Stiepermann, McLean, Buendía; Pukki.

Watford XI (3-4-1-2): Foster; Cathcart, Kabasele, Dawson; Holebas, Doucouré, Capoue, Janmaat; Hughes; Pereyra, Deulofeu.

    Anyone got a source for Pep's "we are going to pack the bus this week" comments?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Where did you see/hear that?

      1. jtreble

        6 years, 9 months ago

        Reddit. Will post here if I find the source.

        I think I found the source: FFS Tweet feed. 🙂

    2. Pras (FPL)
      • 14 Years

      Maybe lots of people/staff are using the bus to get to this game?

  15. YEAH PITCH!

    Pukki has Octo captained himself.

  16. The Legend Squad
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Forgot deadline. Seem to have benched TAA when setting preliminary team early in the week ... He’ll come in if Mount doesn’t play.

    If forgotten what I was thinking. Hope that madness had some reason behind it!

    1. Pras (FPL)

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        That’s what my rival did and brought in Williams lol

        1. YEAH PITCH!
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Mark must have 2 teams. Haha.

    3. FOO FIGHTER

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      BW punt could be huge!

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      That’s massively risky from Mark right there

    6. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Mark must be just having fun with it not taking things serious anymore.

  19. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    My ML rival benched Robbo. He could be onto something...

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not good wherever it was

  20. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years

      Tammy over Vardy 😮

      RIP my score this week, in that case.

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      Is he your Grandpa?

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        No need of this mate

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Son haul imminent?

    4. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Feel like I should've been more patient with Son when I had him 2 weeks ago. Seems like I was ahead of the curve and actively put myself behind on this one.

  23. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Only 2/15 in my ML captained Vardy including me, and i’m the only person in the top 6 to own him. Excited for that game

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      You know what happens next 🙂

      1. DAZZ

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          21*

  24. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Wow! Did not expect that! Out of 31 people in my ML, i’m only one of two people to captain Vardy! Never have i needed him to pull off a haul as much as i have this GW! Could be huge!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Correction, 21*

    2. FOO FIGHTER

  25. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years

    Shouldve went Sterling > Martial/Son

    1. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I think City will score heavy against Chelsea after the IB, they will take advantage of Chelseas poor backline

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        +1
        After that, Raz to Salad time

      2. Maddamotha
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah I think so too tbh. Lets hope City can surprise us on sunday as well!

    So Son didn't get banned after all? Completely missed that bit of info....

    1. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Have you been under a rock this week?

      1. camarozz
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        5 kids and self employed and my kids plays soccer which is a 5 hour round trip away 4 times a wk....

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Do they not have phines? Why are they not scouting out this info in exchange for your chauffer service?

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Want to get him in though.

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      they rescinded his red because he cried

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Gomes seems to be fine.

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Starting this weekend?

  28. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Gooner, captained Vardy and benched Soyuncu because I've kept Aubameyang in the end. This match will be extremely hard to watch..

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Just hope for a high scoring game
      🙂

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, should be very entertaining for neutral fans and FPL players!

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Either:
      A) Arsenal win
      B) Arsenal draw
      C) Arsenal lose

      A is good for you; C is good for you as Emery comes closer to a sacking. B - you haven't loss and Emery sees that as a positive anyway 😆

    Just fancy Mane to haul against city. Pep has accused him of diving and will want to prove a point.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      agree

      City walking wounded in defence as well

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years

      lol

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years

      He would have been perfect for Pep's Barcelona team so.

    Indecision meant missing the deadline. Still no Leicester in my squad. Going to get punished this gw, I feel.

    Hoping for some differential magic.
