The Promoted

What to expect from Norwich City manager Daniel Farke in FPL

Norwich City manager Daniel Farke may be untested in the top-flight but will be a welcome addition to Fantasy Premier League in 2019/20.

He will join the FPL scene in August when the Canaries prepare for life among the elite so it is important to know what to expect from him.

We have begun our research into the recently promoted sides by focussing on Farke ahead of the new season.

In order to get the inside track on the Canaries’ boss, we spoke to Paddy Davitt, the Norwich City correspondent at the Norwich Evening News. He and his colleagues already look a good place to turn to for updates on Farke’s side in 2019/20…

What is Farke’s background?

Man management is cited as one of Daniel Farke’s key attributes

Farke is the latest in a long list of emerging managers who never operated at a particularly high level during their playing career. The German spent the majority of his time as a professional footballer in the lower levels of his native land, enjoying three spells at SV Lippstadt 08 as a forward.

His connection to the club continued as he embarked on his managerial career and he held the reins at their 4,250-capacity Stadion am Waldschlößchen for six years. That was a successful period as he took Lippstadt from the sixth tier of German football to the fourth.

After stepping down to reportedly go on sabbatical, Farke was offered the incredible chance to manage Borussia Dortmund II, the reserve side of the famed Bundesliga club. In fact, when he was hired by Norwich City in 2017, he was the man that current Huddersfield boss Jan Siewert replaced in that position.

In his first season at Carrow Road, Farke guided the Canaries to a solid if not spectacular 14th-place finish. That is what makes the title-winning promotion of 2018/19 all the more impressive.

Back in the summer, the club had reportedly been aiming for nothing higher than a top 10 finish, with automatic promotion allegedly not even on the table as one of their targets for the campaign.

Furthermore, Norwich also moved on their two best players last year as James Maddison and Josh Murphy were sold to Leicester and Cardiff City respectively, for a combined total of £33 million.

Farke spent just £3.8 million of that on a bunch of relative unknowns and still managed to win the Championship title. It is no wonder that he has now been tied to a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2022.

What he has been praised for most during this incredible season for Norwich, seems to have been his man management skills, very crucial considering how small his budget appears to have been. In fact, the wage bill is now reportedly £30 million below what it was two years,

“Every period is difficult in terms of man management. When you are so close to a special achievement then leadership is even more important,” he said. “We work with so many young lads and you can’t expect we are like Barcelona in their best days and finish with 16 wins in a row. Right now, we are 13 unbeaten and in this spell, we saved some points pretty, pretty late in games. One topic is the leadership, but the second, for me, is the players accept this leadership and go exactly in the direction we try to help them. For that, I don’t want to praise myself. The players totally bought into all my ideas and leadership. I feel honoured and thankful that I am allowed to work in this responsible role for Norwich City, and long may it continue.” – Daniel Farke

What style of football does Farke use?

Daniel Farke has been praised for his attractive football this season

Fantasy managers can expect Norwich to play quite an exciting and attractive style of football when they return to the Premier League next season.

Farke has favoured a fast-paced game in 2018/19 with plenty of passing and movement, which has been very easy on the eye. It has obviously proved very successful as the 93 goals Norwich scored this year was 15 more than runners-up Sheffield United. In fact, it’s actually nine more than Wolves managed in their title-winning season in 2017/18.

The German favours the 4-2-3-1 formation and has stuck to this rigidly despite a tricky start to the campaign. Judging on the view of Norwich City reporter Paddy Davitt, and Farke himself, that won’t change in the Premier League, and neither will the tactics, even if that will probably result in fewer goals when facing the better teams.

“The style of football will not change radically. Possession-based, emphasis on good technical midfielders. They are the top scorers in the Championship this season but inevitably against better sides and better players they will create and score in fewer numbers.” – Paddy Davitt

“We won’t lose our path. We won’t lose our belief. That will be the same in the Premier League. I don’t want to be too scared. I am not thinking about a Pep Guardiola side or a Jurgen Klopp side. Otherwise, I would go back to my flat to create a special plan. There are different examples of teams who have been promoted. You can spend an unbelievable amount of money and be successful, or do that and not be successful. As a coach, you can try to park the bus, be solid, and get one point after another and be successful. But also you can be immediately relegated. There is no book for how everything works in the Premier League. You have to stick to your identity as a football club. One thing is for sure I am pretty sure all the key people in the club will answer this question in the same way.” – Daniel Farke

Perhaps a byproduct of Farke’s preference for more attacking football, Norwich are a little leaky at the back. They conceded 57 goals on their way to promotion, with six top-half sides allowing fewer than them, although admittedly they have made improvements in the second half of the season. Either way, it does seem at this early stage that Norwich defenders may struggle for clean sheets in FPL next season, particularly disappointing for those considering early moves for highly-praised full-backs Jamal Lewis and Max Aarons.

“Norwich have conceded 16 league goals more than Sheffield United this season although they have tightened up considerably since the early part of the season. Farke wants his goalkeeper to spark the play and the defenders to pull wide, which is a risky strategy for teams who press high. They have conceded the odd goal from turnovers in dangerous areas of the field this year.” – Paddy Davitt

Farke appears to be quite committed to his key players and is confident of what his best starting XI is. It looks likely we won’t see Pep Guardiola, or even Neil Warnock levels of rotation for Norwich when they come up into the Premier League – generally good news for Fantasy managers when considering their assets in the summer.

“In the final 12 games of his season, he has only made a change through injury or suspension. That might change in the Premier League when the gaps between wins might be longer.” – Paddy Davitt

How does Farke handle the press?

Daniel Farke is reportedly very obliging in his dealings with the media

One of the important aspects of football managers for their Fantasy counterparts is how they handle the press? Can they be trusted to provide accurate and detailed updates on their injuries, or do they prefer to keep information under wraps like Guardiola or the increasingly infamous Eddie Howe?

Thankfully, it seems that Farke will prove to be the former, as he currently has a very good relationship with the local press.

“His relationship with the press could not be better. He is very approachable, very measured and a very calm character. As for injury news, he has been, so far, an open book, with the odd exception.” – Paddy Davitt

Where might he strengthen in the summer and which players are at jeopardy of losing their place?

Whenever a newly-promoted side comes up to the Premier League they are always likely to strengthen their squad. This has the potential to have a knock-on effect on the players that earned promotion so it’s definitely worth knowing which ones are at risk at this stage.

“Jordan Rhodes is the backup striker but will return to his parent club Sheffield Wednesday in the summer. Another frontman to compete with Teemu Pukki looks an essential piece of business. Likewise, a keeper to compete with Tim Krul. Beyond that possibly the right back area with Max Aarons established as a first choice and in all probability the only other senior right back on the club’s books, Ivo Pinto, poised to leave when his contract runs out this summer.” – Paddy Davitt

We will be bringing you plenty more information about Premier League new boys Norwich City this summer. Now that we have covered their manager and tactics, up next will be a look at their defensive assets before we cover the attacking ones after that.

    Chelsea played a friendly with New England Revolution last night and Hazard was up against a right-back called Bye. It's written in the stars.

    FWIW Chelsea won 3-0 with Barkley scoring twice, RLC picked up an injury and is now a doubt for Europa League final.

      Lol

    2. HammersFan

      So hazard can’t play the last game of the season but he can be risked in a pointless friendly before the league final

        It doesn’t take much to injure RLC mind. I’m seeing one of those great unfulfilled careers ahead

    They are going straight back down just got lucky. East Anglia must honestly be the worst place to watch Premiership football. Now that Leeds United are no longer coming, no promoted assets for me.

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      One of the promoted clubs will throw up a useful asset, they always do. We've been lucky this year with Wolves (Doherty, Jota, Raul etc), the season before it was Pascal Groß... Heaton, Negredo before that etc.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        One great fantasy asset seems clear: 57 goals conceded

  7. pjomara
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Just looked at my end of season stats using FPL Statistico...
    I got 34.5 pts on average when I captained Mane.
    I got -2 pts on average when I captained Pogba.

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yup, I hit that -2 as well 🙁
      31 points on average when I captained Hazard (twice)

      In gameweek 9 I captained Lacazette to a massive 4 points.
      Not to be disheartened, I did the same thing the very next week. 4 points.
      It seems I didn't learn my lesson. GW16. 2 points...

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I guess I got lucky with Pogba, captained once for 36 points.

      Average 32 on Mané but again that was only once.

      Worst was KBD with 1pt from a DGW. Tied with Duffy from the week before!

      In fact I only hit my cap 3 times in the last 12 GWs, no wonder that felt a struggle!

    3. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      21 point average for Mane from 6 captaincies. 20.3 from Hazard from 8. 19.2 from Aguero's 12.

      That's an amazing site for stats.

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Pretty impressive figures ... I managed to captain Hazard 3 times for an average of 22 but otherwise my next best is 16, shared by Salah (x11) , Aguero (x8), Mane (x2) and Pogba (x1)

        Right people, wrong weeks 🙁

    Difference between your Captain Points and highest possible : -477. This must change next time.

    1. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      -473. 539 of 1012. Picking the right captain every game week has to be one of the most challenging decisions in the game.

    2. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      662/990, so 66.87%, and only -328 off total best.

        -365

    4. jtreble

      Poor. Next season I’m likely following Jia Yous lead and avoiding Salah as a selection. He certainly messed with my captain choices.

    7. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I was nearly as bad 455 Difference between Captain Points v highest possible.

      https://www.anewpla.net/fpl/report-test/lander.php?fplID=47710

      Mark Sutherns did and impressive '407 difference' to put in in context.
      https://www.anewpla.net/fpl/report-test/lander.php?fplID=4668

      Ville Ronka did 437 which is decent but his team suffered elsewhere in the latter part of the season

      https://www.anewpla.net/fpl/report-test/lander.php?fplID=829593

      David Munday who prided himself on his captain picks in the Scoutcasts did an exceptional 357 difference.
      But I did better on overall rank by nearly 30 points.

      https://www.anewpla.net/fpl/report-test/lander.php?fplID=2032

      The winner of fpl did 455 exactly the same as me!!! 😀

      https://www.anewpla.net/fpl/report-test/lander.php?fplID=107827

      So it is not all about the captain points difference - depending on the way you play the game.
      What matters is getting those big captain points consistently of you can, and a good overall team.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I see your point. There are more issues at stake. That no. 1 won by a wide margin.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          I am a bit shocked I got the same points difference/highest possible as the number 1 winner. I only checked it out of curiosity. Beforehand I would have assumed he was in the low 300's if I was guessing.
          It scrambled my brain a bit.

    8. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      593 of 1038, so that’s -445

      My highest total seems good though, sign of a good team overall!

  9. Black Knights
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Largest head in Premier League management history?

      1. Black Knights
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        That'd be a huge Face Off.

  10. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    One player (realistic) you want your favorite team to sign this transfer window?

    Mine would be AWB or Koulibaly > Man Utd

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Saying that, the mess UTD are in, Tielmans & Ndidi would be good transfers as well.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        You can keep your sweaty UTD hands of our players, please. 😀

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Keep Ndidi then. 😛

        2. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          You can have Jones or Rojo to complete the United CB partnership with Evans!

        3. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          On a more serious note, think there will be a queue for Tielmans as 40m seems good value in this market.
          You would do very well to get him on a permanent deal.
          Good luck.

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            I agree - we're going to struggle to keep him.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I want United to sign Tielemans AWB Koulibaly Dybala/Sancho

      Dybala agent said today that he's looking for way out from Juventus. Alexis agent talking with Juventus & Milan re his move. I think we can snap dybala from Juventus.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Curious how you’d price AWB.

        Shaw was 30 mill 2 or was it 3 years ago. Palace don’t need to sell. Could be astronomical - intra PL prices often are.

        Local hero factor also counts I think in driving price up - Parish is very keen on local roots.

        More chance I suspect of Wilf moving on and very little chance both will.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah. But since he's 21 years old, he can be a great buy for over a decade.
          35-40m £ maybe 😮

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            He’d be fantastic value at that price for sure.

            Problem for United is that Palace must know that too. I’d be surprised if he went for that little - even with the normal extras. That would only just exceed what we paid for Sakho - prices are moving only in one direction.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Yeah.
              Hopefully palace wants one of United's world beating players 😀

        2. tambourineman
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          "Palace don’t need to sell" - Palace did make a loss of £36m in 2017/18 and probably similar levels this season, I don't know how deep Steve Parish's pockets are but to me Palace could do with selling one of Wilf or AWB this summer to help balance the books.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Ahhh, good to hear that 😉

          2. pingissimus

            The big financial problem at Palace if there is one is the wage bill. Wilf is already on top 6 wages and so he’d make much more sense financially

            Parish is now just the face - the money is American mostly. That loss isn’t one to mean player sales imo especially after a year where we spent about 15 mill on transfers. That puts Palace well ahead of most bottom 14 sides going forward.

        That would be an ideal transfer window. But we first need to get rid of all the deadwood in the squad - Young, Jones, Sanchez, Lukaku and hopefully also Pogba. Hell, even Lingard, Martial, Fred and Matic aren't good enough. Can we just buy a different team please?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Lol
          Yep. But we can't swap more than 3/4 players in a single window.
          Young, Sanchez,Rojo,Matic,Dermian etc should just go.
          Pogba Lukaku can go if we can lineup a good replacement too.
          Re Martial, he's favorite of Glazers so I'm afraid he's staying.

          1. Robson-Canoe
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Oh yeah totally forgot about Darmian and Rojo, that says it all I guess haha. Martial could still come good if he has better players around him so that would be alright.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Yep.
              He needs father figure around him constantly. 23 year old acting like 13 tbh. Hell of a talent though (Tony Martial)

        2. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Agreed.
          Rojo, Darmian, Sanchez, Young, Matic must be moved on. Ideally Lukaku as well but that seems more difficult.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Lukaku ££ involved makes it difficult.

      3. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure if Dybala is the sort of player who would dig in during tough times. Seems to me like a fair weather player like Ozil.
        We already have plenty such at United!

        I would be very happy if we get AWB, Tielmans, Daniel James and a good ball playing CB tbh.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Well, our flair players are also sh.t 😀
          We need a left footed attacker who's quick. Too many similar players (inverted LW) in the team messes up the balance complete. It's baffling to see how the hell United haven't signed a RW since a decade ?? Valancia was last we had someone half decent on RW.

          1. King Kohli
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Poor transfers for almost a decade have well and truly caught up.
            When CR7 was sold in 2009, we signed Valencia, Obertan and Bebe FFS!

            Hope I'm wrong but honestly feel that Dybala would be another expensive misfit.

            Sancho would be a better signing as he's young, hungry and can be groomed. No chance in hell that he joins us though!

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          He can play @ 10 or RW too

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            He's poor on the right, hence why he's had such a disappointing season for Juve.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              😕
              Another failed signing then.

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

      Arsenal - Nicolas Pepe or Ibrihima Konate

      1. Poseidon.

        ‘Realistic’

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Get Champions League football (by winning Europa League) & these are both very possible if Kroenke (Arsenal’s owner) is willing to use the money won via Europa League. Aubameyang, Lacazette & Ozil came to Arsenal (much bigger names) I don’t see why these 2 wouldn’t follow

    4. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Dybala would be the big one for me and apparently he’s issued a come get me plea to Ole. Sancho would be great too. Not convinced Koulibaly is Utd quality if im honest.

      1. Mysterion
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Be realistic... why settle for Dybala and Sancho? Mbappe, Hazard, Messi's son seem more like Utd quality

    5. ★Kuntheman★

      Heavily dependent on if Sane leaves. If he stays I’d like us to sign AWB or Rodri. If he leaves I’d like us to sign Sancho

      1. pingissimus

        Ah another club in for AWB - that price keeps skyrocketing

    Even a fully fit Eric Dier should be no where near the England Squad, woeful footballer.

    Chelsea is becoming a joke club. Travelling across the world for a friendly before a massive cup final. Ridiculous.

    Does this mean that the Norwich starting goalkeeper with be 'Ethridge 2.0' with saves and bonus points galore?

    Auba

    Heavily weighted to an attacking force, but who would need a defence with a squad like that.
    I asure a few think I am mad having Guendouzi there but I cannot remember rating a youngster quite like him.
    No Spurs! Amazing!
    Who did I forget? Wolves? Watford? Toffees?
