Norwich v Man Utd team news: Rangnick names unchanged starting XI

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

    Totally have no idea who should replace Vardy in my team for next GW. Just go with CR7?
    Wanted Watkins but probably bad pick and Norwich looking better recently.
    Antonio? But not sure there is a point bringing him for Arsenal fixtures.
    Doubling up on Wat also seems dodgy.

    Yes, the BAPS is derived from Opta and yada yada. But Salah winning the pen and scoring it, which turned out to be the match winner, and yet not even 1 bonus point? I'll call it for what it is.... proper BS.

            I was 50/50 on whether to sell one of both of them for hit's as I was dead set on Sanchez to DDG, so put it to the vote on here and all but one person advised me to play Liv Sissoko, as I was unsure so I went with the majority. I've tried being aggressive and taking multiple hits before and it's always failed. I wasn't comfortable with a -12.

    So I did Kane to Lukaku for this GW, as I couldn't afford Ronaldo. Lukaku at home to Leeds didn't seem like an awful pick, but then he comes on and plays 3 mins..sigh. What should I do now? Get in Ronaldo by making funds and taking a hit or keeping Lukaku who's got Everton at home I think. Good fixture, but means nothing if he doesn't start..again.

      I don't like Livra and his fixtures atm, sold him personally. But not worth -4.

      I still prefer Dalot over Dias, the latter is not worth the money imo.

        I think I do… otherwise too much money locked in defence

        Would you make the move? Just not sure who I would play Dalot over? I benched Raph this weekend and it backfired…

          I have benched Dennis every week and it has backfired. My bad that I didn't start him over Jota. On the other hand this is with hindsight. You can have him as bench cover if needed and to gain some tv perhaps. Yet, I might wanna sell Raph or Gallagher first. But might start Dalot over them.

            Livra >> Dalot GW17
            Raph / Gallagher (depending on performance) >> Bowen GW18

            Could be a way to go

      Came into the game more once Sancho was off - though not sure if that was why.

      When it was super tight he was pretty ineffective.

      Same for Sancho, Ronaldo, Bruno too - they all pretty much sucked.

      Don't think he deserved the scorn that the commentators here were giving him.

        This^ He was rusty, but flashed once or twice. He will improve with game time, but how fast is the question.

        i dunno - i'm pretty firm on selling him myself.
        just think Ralf has to try some stuff - and this combo was clearly not the right answer.

        will give it a couple of days - but he's highly likely on the way out for me.

    As a Man United fan I still dont have an idea If Dalot will be nailed for the next 4-5 matches at least...

    If yes... Livra to Dalot it is
