Norwich City v Manchester United brings Saturday’s Premier League action to a close, with kick-off at Carrow Road at 17:30 GMT.

The team news is nice and simple for the visitors as Ralf Rangnick names an unchanged team from last weekend’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Cristiano Ronaldo was transferred in by just under 450,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers ahead of Friday’s deadline and is the second most-captained player of Gameweek 16.

Diogo Dalot and David de Gea also featured in the top 10 most transferred-in players of this current Gameweek.

Dean Smith has made five changes from Sunday’s defeat at Spurs, with Lukas Rupp, Dimitris Giannoulis, Ozan Kabak, Przemyslaw Placheta and Josh Sargent coming into the side.

Budget FPL defender Brandon Williams misses out as he is ineligible to face his parent club, while Ben Gibson, Pierre Lees-Melou, Adam Idah and Andrew Omobamidele also drop out of the side.

Dean Smith reported injury and illness issues concerning four unnamed players in his pre-match presser, and Gibson and Omobamidele are indeed not part of the matchday squad.

GAMEWEEK 16 LINE-UPS

Norwich City XI: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Kabak, Giannoulis Rupp, Gilmour, Placheta, McLean, Sargent, Pukki.

Subs: Gunn, Byram, Dowell, Cantwell, Sorensen, Lees-Melou, Mumba, Idah, Tomkinson.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, McTominay, Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rashford.

Subs: Heaton, Henderson, Bailly, Jones, Greenwood, Lingard, Shaw, Van de Beek, Elanga

    Thoughts?

    A, James & Toney > Antonio & Tierney West Ham & Arsenal cover

    B, Vardy & James > Ronaldo & Tierney/Davies Fluke pens & either Spur/ Arsenal cover.

      Dont like A, as you're bringing them in when they both play each other

      B looks better i guess

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ta

      2. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Agree with this

        1. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Tierney or Davies?

  2. EffPeeEll

    was D4ean Smith fuming at the the ronnie penalty box area collapse, post match?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      stuck in his fantasy world, but yes he was

  3. Dammit_182
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which is the best Villa defender to go for?

    A) Cash
    B) targett
    C) Konsa

    Leaving to Targett but honestly have very little grasp on which of their defenders has best balance of starts and attacking returns.

    Cheers

    1. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably Konsa out of the three. Cash is on 4 yellows I think and Targett isn’t nailed

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers man.

        And ‘all aboard, hahaha….’

  4. No Kane No Gain
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling playing well or is he trap?!

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling is always a trap.

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Never again for me, not after last season

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Doing well recently but 10.6m is poor value given he is historically quite inconsistent and not 100% nailed

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think he's nailed right now. Playing better than Grealish and Jesus

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Still poor value for his price.

    5. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He’s playing well, is expensive but if it’s him or Ronaldo why not???

      3

  6. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I guess I'll roll FT. Cancelo solves the bench headache, even though I'd probably still need said bench

    DDG
    TAA James Alonso
    (C)Salah Jota Silva (V)Foden
    CR7 Benteke Dennis

    Matthews Brownhill Livra Cancelo

    1 FT, 0.0m ITB. I hope Benteke stays fit tomorrow

    DDG

    Salah Jota Gallagher
    Ronaldo Antonio King

    (Gunn Livra Brownhill Sissoko)
    0 FT & 1.9m

    A) Gallagher ➡️ Bilva
    (Livra for Cancelo)
    B) Gallagher & Livra ➡️ Bilva & Dalot -4
    (Dalot for Cancelo)
    C) Livra & Sissoko ➡️ Bowen & Williams -4

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years

        Yes

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. Shineonme

      A

  8. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bit early, but Gundo out isnt worth a hit right? Bench would be White - Brownhill - Cancelo

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Think I'm just going to play Glimour. Then do James and Gundo to Tierney and Foden.

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years

      Wait for pc from pep. ,

  9. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I play 3vstrikers & Since GW 10, I've only had 3 goals from my strikers & 1 assist

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

    Foden dropping in price? Not sure if I should stick or ship him out for Jota/Bilva/Mount :/

    1. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Im thinking about bringing him in.

    2. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m just riding out Xmas with him then dropping in Jan

  11. FPLShaqiri

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Seems unlikely to me that Spurs Leicester game gets played. With the game being on Thursday, after a Tuesday deadline, should we expect confirmation of it being called off before or after deadline? Got Son in my team, so it’s tricky to decide what to do if it’s unknown

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

      What about LEI tomorrow?

  12. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Cancelo > Walker no brainer.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You will want Cancelo back. I wouldn’t do it

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Walker > Cancelo next week

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No keep Cancelo. Just bench for the week

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        There's no room on my bench, they're very naughty boys.

        1. Firminooooo
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Sell one off the naughty boys, Cancelo is a good boy.

    3. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. If you have no brain do that move.

  13. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Goalkeeper situation…

    A) Keep Sanchez
    B) switch to Ramsdale or DDG

    Thanks in advance!

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

      B but the best week to do it was for this GW with the lowest ceiling to make up (which they both smashed).

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks both which one though Ramsdale or DDG?

  14. CRAZY TRAIN
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Probability of Leicester v Tottenham game getting postponed is high right?
    Thinking doing Vardy > Ron tonight to beat the price rise.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Close to 99% imo

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Well, 90-95% perhaps.

    2. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think gunk it’s unlikely to happen d even if it does vardy can’t play every gs e and their fixtures are shite.

  15. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    1FT and 1.2 itb.

    A) Could do Gallagher to Gundogan for free, but his position and backinjury puts me of.
    B) Maybe downgrade Alonso or Reguilon + Mbuemo to cheap defender + Silva.
    C) Save

    Ramsdale
    TAA James Alonso
    Mbuemo Salah Jota Gallagher
    Antonio Dennis Ronaldo

    Bench Normann, Reguilon, Cancelo, Foster
