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

    Dalot to score the only goal is too much to ask for?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I approve.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      An own goal would be harsh.

      1. Original Sin
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Didn't think about it, I hope God understands that I didn't pray for an own goal.

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

      1 match suspension.

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

      Sell, sell, sell!

      1. EffPeeEll
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        he's priceless 😉

      2. banskt
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        can't afford to sell because of team value, got him at 6.0m and can sell him at 6.4m. Pretty sure his price will not drop to 6.4m within one week.

    3. sandman58
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Bench him
      Just 1 week

  9. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    LMS safety score currently 39 with live bonus/autosubs.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Do you run a league for people who manage to miss the cut off every week as well?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        They are the ones who score negative points each GW.

  10. banskt
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I was watching the Arsenal game. How did Watkins look against Liverpool?

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

      Quite but can't really judge him in such a fixture. The only way Villa were scoring was an Alisson howler.

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

        Quiet*.

      2. banskt
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. I guess Villa didn't bother the Liverpool defense much.

  11. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is Spurs v Leicester still in doubt?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Far from 100% on so yes.

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

        Cheers. Will see on Tuesday. Have Cancelo, Johnson and Reguilon.

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

    United are hopeless.

  13. EffPeeEll
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How come Arsenal's home game against west ham deemed to be a '4' red fixture on FPL?

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      West Ham are arguably the 4th best side in the league. Beat Chelsea, City and Pool

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

    Rashford thinks its 20/21.

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Need a Penandes tonight

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Or a Pukki party, or even both!

  16. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How are United looking? Worried non owner of any here

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

      Non-owner. No worries. Won't change the outcome.

  17. banskt
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How did Watkins look in the Liverpool game?

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry. wasn't meant to post here again.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Still in VVD's pocket.

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He won't play vs VVD every week xD

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy > Maupay in order to beef up midfield. Have Watkins and Dennis.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn’t touch Maupay. Go Antonio

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Sold him last week. Had him since GW1. Grew tired after 5 consecutive blanks.

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

          No harm in getting Antonio back

  19. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Cancelo most sold player currently...weird.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Let them

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. EffPeeEll
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      likewise, Jota and ESR

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Who are they replacing him with?

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Looking at transfers in, Dias mostly.

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

      Pretty much a season keeper. Gets a midweek rest without the roulette wheel. Ideal tbh.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yup, a forced rest.

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

    Don’t know what I was expecting but I’m not all that encouraged about being a Ronaldo owner again, judging by this first half so far

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

      Doesn't look great .

  21. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Do something Rashford!

  22. banskt
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Don't own Ronaldo, glad he doesn't look threatning. Yet.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He’ll get a pen don’t worry

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        For Bruno to take lol

  23. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Standard shiite United performance as usual.

  24. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ronaldo fail anyway

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Water. Wet.

  25. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Dalot shot on target.

  26. Avery
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Wilson & Reguilon OUT

    A. Ronaldo & Dalot IN (exact money)
    B. Ronaldo & 4.5 (which one?)

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If you watch the game on now prob neither.

  27. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I must say, Norwich are much better these days

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

      New manager bounces all over the place.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, it’s like if the players don’t like the manager they just don’t bother, but then the manager gets the blame

  28. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    James > Dalot for free? Or is my priority getting rid of Son..

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Do not sell James.

      1. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        One off a suspension, brought him in & he’s had 0,0,1,0 points… Rudiger seems far more consistent!

        1. sandman58
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Rudiger is a cheat

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            *legend

  29. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    McTominay's creativity must be in minus figures in Football Manager/FIFA

  30. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ronaldo is so bad, lord
