Gameweek 10 continues with Norwich City v Leeds United at Carrow Road this afternoon.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

Norwich make three changes from last week’s 7-0 loss at Chelsea, with Kieran Dowell (£5.2m), Milot Rashica (£5.2m) and budget defender Andrew Omobamidele (£3.9m) coming in for the suspended Ben Gibson (£4.4m), Dimitris Giannoulis (£4.4m) and Pierre Lees-Melou (£4.9m).

As a result, it looks like a 3-4-3 formation for Daniel Farke’s side, with Teemu Pukki (£5.8m) leading the line.

As for Leeds, they make one change from Gameweek 9, with Kalvin Phillips (£4.8m) replacing Mateusz Klich (£5.5m) in the XI.

That means a start for Raphinha (£6.6m), who has overcome the ankle injury that forced him off against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

However, Junior Firpo (£4.8m), Luke Ayling (£4.4m), Robin Koch (£4.3m) and Patrick Bamford (£7.7m) all remain out.


GAMEWEEK 10 LINE-UPS

Norwich XI: Krul, Omobamidele, Hanley, Kabak, Aarons, Normann, McLean, Rashica, Sargent, Dowell, Pukki

Subs: Gunn, Giannoulis, Williams, Rupp, Gilmour, Lees-Melou, Placheta, Idah, Tzolis

Leeds XI: Meslier, Shackleton, Llorente, Cooper, Dallas, Struijk, Phillips, Raphinha, James, Harrison, Rodrigo

Subs: Klaesson, Cresswell, Hjelde, Drameh, Summerville, Forshaw, Klich, Roberts, Gelhardt

    Spurs really have lost the plot, what did they expect from nuno in this time, we are 8th, it’s not great but hardly a disaster considering Kane is a useless lump now, absolute revolving door and no one will want the job - move heaven and earth to get potter

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Potter would be a fool to leave the great project he has for a mess at Spurs.

      Ryan Mason till who knows when then repeat the cycle?

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Probably a few shots on target

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Personally more concerned with points than shots

        2. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years

          Ahaha

      • Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Poch almost wins them the top European trophy? Few months later, sack him.

        Mourinho close to winning them a trophy? Sack him just before.

        It's clear what Spurs want; that is no silverware.

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Lol

      • how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Presumably you dont have to sit through it every week.

        It's dull, no creativity, and I was saying it after the 1st 3 wins so that's regardless of results.

        Nuno seems a nice guy, but tactics are a poor man's Mourinho.

        Bizarre appointment given the tottenham DNA drivel levy was spouting.

      • diesel001
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Spurs' issue is partly the manager, but mainly the owners and Daniel Levy. They either want to win trophies or they want to make loads of profit. It is very difficult to do both. Some honesty from Levy and ENIC (i.e. Joe Lewis) about the aims of the business (and Spurs' is a business when you look at how it is run) would go some way to help with the expectations of the players, the managers / coaches and the fans.

      • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He was a panic appointment though - a consequence of the extreme dysfunctionality manifest throughout the leadership of that club

        As Hazz says - sacking Poch after getting that rabble to a CL Final was criminal - but to follow it up with sacking Mourinho on the eve of a Cup Final?

        And then to follow that up with agreeing a deal with Fonseca, having him start moving to London, then panic & pull the plug on a whim as soon as Gattuso becomes available? Then panic and pull the plug on Gattuso when they saw the fan's reaction? Then panic and appoint Nuno?

        Levy is a massive part of the problem

        Kane then downing tools and basically telling his teamates he thinks the place is a shithole that he's far too good for while all the farce with Fonseca/Gattuso/Nuno was happening obviously didn't help things

        They're in big trouble, make no mistkae

        Would love to see Son get his move to Barca, Madrid, Bayern, City, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea... basically any club in the world as he's more than good enough

        The rest of them can rot where they are - that lumbering troglodyte Kane chief amongst them

        1. Leew35
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Son to LFC would be the signing of the summer and put Spurs outside the top 10 with this style of play

      • yousunkmybattleship
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Nuno was never going to be a success, not wanted just appointed as no one else would take it. Wrong brand of football, which Levy is ignorant to as well.

        Problem is has become a poisoned chalice, no one will want it. Would have been happy with Potter last time now fans are begging for him. But it’s not going to happen I’m afraid. Ryan Mason is about the best we can hope for!

      • im1974
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Was at my brother in laws watching the match and he was cheering the Utd goals going in in the hope of hastening Nuno exit this week

        1. yousunkmybattleship
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Funny. Fans who want Nuno out think that it’s his fault. Grass is always greener

    3. Flair
      • 5 Years

      Send Raph off!

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Not watching the game but agree

      2. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Shut up

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        These posts are kinda sad. Just shows how scared you are 😛

        Transfer him in if you're worried.

        THISS!

    4. Rainer

      Nearly Pukki Party

    5. Totalfootball

      Pukki close

    6. Totalfootball

      Dowell sot

    7. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pukki more dangerous than Raphinha!

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I want hattie for them both 😉

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          A countryman who has Raph has upvoted my comments 😉

    8. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Leeds are poor, need to check Raph fixtures.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Chelsea Liv next

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Huh? Leicester, then Tottenham, then Brighton.

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            No difference tbh 😉

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Top of league vs. mid-table tbf.

          2. BobbyDoesNotLook
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Quite tough. Funny to say but from the next three Brighton could be the toughest for an attacking player 😀

            Also, I dont fancy the fixtures after next three: Cry, Bre, Che, Mci, Ars. All could be quite tough for an attacking player.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Going to get rid of all Leeds on WC.

        Sheffield United all over again.

        1. Gabistuta
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Apart from the fact Leeds have 9 more points than SHU did after 10 games. Struggle with memory?

    9. Noisy Neighbour
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Rodrigo is painful to watch.

    10. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Rodrigo seriously...

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He’s been awful this season

    11. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Grrr Raph keeps getting the chance to cut in and shoot but passes instead, needs to up the greed

      • BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Is this football - or is this just reality?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          This kickball(s)?!?

      • 1984 TC
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Rodrigo is my hero!

      • FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Many banking on a Raphinha haul.

        He is not capable of carrying this Leeds team. Plain and simple.

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          No one is banking on the haul, it would be nice if he would score some points yet, same for every player

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Raphinha is overhiped.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 16 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              He only has two hips - that's pretty adequately-hipped if you ask me

              1. FOO FIGHTER
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Nope, he will be better suited in a better team. Not that that means much.

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Come back at 3:45 after the return/s

        3. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          He rarely 'hauls' tbh
          Scored double digit points once in the last 2 seasons

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Raphinha sellers the real winners here, not a hope of points in this Leeds side...

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Just taken Raph out now, I’ve seen enough

          1. Botman and Robben
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Not watching. What has happened?

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Nothing has happened

        2. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          They saw sense.

        3. Gabistuta
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          how'd that one work out for you?

      • Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Is it ok to hate transfer Raphinha and Dias out for -4? Even just to bench TAA...

        1. BrockLanders
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          That's madness

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            The way this season is going madness isn't perhaps the worst thing 😉

      • Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Burnley are a lot better going forward then this "attacking" team known as Leeds

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Cornet looks amazing!

          1. Pep's Money Laundry
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Yes he does, potentially my Raphinha replacement

      • Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Incidentally, what was the point of Gilmour going to Norwich?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          More minutes than at Chelsea. They got Normann, a better player, after he joined.

      • jack88
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Leeds are worst than Norwich

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Both look doomed already.

      • Leew35
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Three questions people,
        1. Mbuemo for Gallagher after the Norwich match?
        2. is a bench consisting of Livra, Mbuemo, ESR & Hwang to much money and a headache to see which one starts?
        3. After Norwich who do i sell/upgrade? Mbuemo or Toney (4.6m in the bank)

        rest of squad
        Ramsdale, Foster
        TAA, Cancelo, Chilwell, James
        Salah, Foden, Mount
        Antonio, Toney

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years

            That he's injured

      • Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Bring the teenager off the bench to liven it up a bit

      • Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Will Leeds improve when Bamford comes back?

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Not with their defence.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years

        Cornet in a 3-5-2 or Toney in a 3-4-3?

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Cornet

        2. Butcher
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Cornet looks a beast

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Toney has Norwich & Cornet has Chelsea away so i would hold fire for now

        • 16 Years

        I'd say that this would end up being a nil-nil draw but I don't think Meslier is even capable of giving me a cleanie any more.

      • Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cornet, Gallagher or ESR?

        1. Butcher
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          What about Mbuemo?

      • Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        This is so desperately poor, no threat whatsoever. Ayling and Bamford huge loss. Raphinha, Harrison, Rodrigo James non existent. This is championship form

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Harrison has fallen off so badly this season.
