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.

  3. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Time to give up all expectations of FPL, ready for giving up

  4. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Raphinha please score a goal. I’m begging you!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He won’t, I own him

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Oof...

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Desperation is not a good look

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Better than a bad willy

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      even an assist would be fine

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Absolutely. It is Norwich for goodness sake!

  5. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    Blankinha

  6. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    59 minute subbing and a yellow for Raph

  7. jack88
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Leeds playing style is not good. They just rush with the ball. Whenever they won the ball, they send some random Through balls towards nowhere

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Towards Bamford

      Tika taka isnt the only way to play football

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's Bielsa ball, they try to let the ball forward as soon as possible

  8. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Raph 2nd half brace you heard it here first

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Knee or ankle?

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Knee I reckon

    2. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Knee brace maybe, after acl goes

    3. jack88
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Raph Doesn't brace

    4. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Will he go off with a knee brace, or on a stretcher.. that is the real question

  9. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    If Raphinha wants a big move he’s got to be crushing Norwich.

    Expecting a brace second half

    1. ANGRY PERSON
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He will get a big move anyway

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Do not expect anything, best way

    3. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Trouble is, it's not an individual sport.
      Even peak Messi or Ronaldo couldn't just walk into a poorly performing team and expect to score multiple goals per game. They need service, they need people making runs, they need a functioning team around them.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ronaldo does for ManU (smile)

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Well, yeah, point taken.
          But also, still, no.

          How many did Ronnie score when Utd fell apart v's Pool? How many blanks has he had this season?

    4. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He's carrying an injury there's no way he's 100% after that injury...

  10. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    People having sour grapes because Blankfinha is blanking.

    Oh, it is Norwich and ten accused of having more than one team.

    Ha ha, the irony Steve The Spud.

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      What are you even saying?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Been accused of owning more than one team because I have been aggressive with hits.

        Do you comprehend?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Why not 2 sides? I have mine and a "differential side" with Planet FPL

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I have been playing this game since 2012.

            My thoughts on owning a dead team is like having to do the dishes.

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              So have I bud. It was in jest.

    2. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Everyone will transfer him out this week after he goes off injured with 1 point.. then next week he'll magically return to form and smash in a hatrick

      1. ANGRY PERSON
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Raph doesn't do hattrick

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I only said you take a hit every week to get a strong team, I’m sure you only have 1 team bud 🙂

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You are such a child.

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Now, THAT'S irony

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

            +1. this guys a tool

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

    Get Gelhardt on. Drop Rodrigo deeper.
    Get one of James/Harrison off.

    But it'll be Roberts coming on FFS!

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      This, everytime I see him coming on, I wonder "why? What's the point?".

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks pep

  12. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Would you get Ronaldo in if on WC?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      about to enter a very congested fixture list, Ole has already shown willingness to manage his minutes, even yesterday

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ohk. Thanks a bunch.

  13. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Holy f*** how bad are Leeds this season?

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

      6 big chances created in 9 games so far
      In the same period last season they had created 14

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      2nd season syndrome

  14. dshv
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is there any chances for raphinha ?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Slim & none.

  15. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Take it easy. Raphinha will haul for sure….so much space down his side. As a non owner I can live with one goal.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Non-owner, Mount owner and Mbeumo owner....I need him to blank.

  16. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is anyone considering bringing Zaha into their team? Hrs always been a difficult player to gauge in FPL but CP are playing well with some favourable fixtures coming up.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Palace are playing better but Zaha is no longer the focal point of the attack.
      Points too spread out IMO.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      haven't been too impressed as for most of the season he's still been playing too wide, away from the box. Yesterday was better as he was used as an makeshift striker, but I can't imagine that'll be permanent.

  17. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Raphinha and Semedo to ESR and Chilwell seems good but only have balance 0.1m if im doing now. Or wait and take risk with price change?

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        cheers
        thanks

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

      yup looks good that

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

    Probably the same result next week for Toney and co vs. Norwich

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mbeumo’s cross bar challenge on the cards

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hope so now I've abandoned any plans to get either of them in my squad. Was going to get Mbuemo, but I can't see he'll score that many, if anything at all.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      nah Brentford are still creating chances, just hope Mbeumo is back for next GW

  19. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Leed should act fast b4 its too late, Bielsa and his bucket out, Howe in

  20. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What would you rather?

    A. Triple Chelsea defence with chilly, James and rudigier

    B. Double defence with chilly and James and mount in midfield?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Double is too much mostly due to rotation risk

    3. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      a

    4. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B
      Until Lukaku is back someone on attack will benefit...Havertz has proven it cant be him

  21. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hurry up and start the 2nd half, want this Raph haul locked in before I start the dinner

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Oh you own Raphinha?

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      More chance he starts dinner and you get a haul.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Do you also own more than one team or multiple teams?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        My cat has a team, he got in Raph for a hit this week unfortunately

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Will be seeking meow’re goals from Raph for a purrrfect week

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Your cat does not seems more intelligent than you.

    4. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That clean sheet point could make or break your season 😉

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You never know. Being 1 pt away from top 10k still annoys me.

  22. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I'm a Leeds fan but this has been abysmal.

    1. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Its not the gung ho team from last season, thats for sure.

  23. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    A. Benny to Mbeumo and bench Cancelo
    B. Save

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Chilwell Rudiger Livramento
    Salah Gallagher ESR
    Ronaldo Vardy
    Steele Benrahma Sissoko Scarlett

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If you'd asked a week ago, I think Mbuemo would have been on many peoples shopping lists. After the Burnley mauling, it's less appealing. But considering you already have ESR, then I'd probably still make that move.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Going into the international break with two free transfers could be good though

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

  24. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Meslier foul won. + baps

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Sums this week up

  25. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which 3 forwards you'll get on WC?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Really tough

      Auba, vardy, Toney

    2. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't get three.. too many good defenders and midfielder for 3 up top

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        As in 3 expensive ones.. I'd go for bench fodder up top with either 1 or 2 starting strikers

        1. Mozumbus
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Makes sense. Thanks.
          Which 2 playing ones you'd get?

          1. MikeS
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Well ATM I have hwang and vardy.. which allowed me a great midfield and defence (chilly,James,cancelo,taa,Liv)

    3. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Really tough question to answer this.
      Feel like we are at a crossroads in the season.

      Certain 'obvious' picks are looking like sh*t - e.g Vardy, Toney
      Certain obvious picks are in teams looking like sh*t - e.g Ronaldo, Kane
      Certain obvious picks are injured - e.g Lukaku, Borja

      I'm happy to have Jimi - Antonio - Vardy (one more week). But I probably wouldn't WC any of those in right now

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If I had a WC i'd probably do Ronaldo, Auba, Iheanacho. Maybe Toney or Callum Wilson.

    5. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Real lottery at the moment. Crystal Palace on good form - maybe Edouard; Southampton strikers (Armstrong/ Broja if fit) and it’s a nice run for Wolves.

  26. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Watching Grant Hanley hoof the ball up to little Josh Sargent over and over again is hilarious

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

      Nothing says ‘best league in the world’ quite like it

  27. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I think I might actually bench Raphinha for Livramento next GW.

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Sold him for ESR

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

    FPL finding new ways to ruin weekends all the time. Or I’m ruining my weekends myself in reality. Quite impressive in a way.

  29. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Raph owners very unlucky to come up against such an improved Norwich defence

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Clean sheets before Chelsea

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Laughable comment.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I thought it was a good one

  30. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus how boring is football

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You dont have to watch it. There are other pasttimes

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Sure are, and am doing 🙂

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Can't be that bad. You've been playing FPL for 10 years minimum, you come on here to comment about footy and you even have a Mo Salah fanboy grav.

      I think you mean 'God, how boring is this game!'
