Another blank for Pukki as Villa expose Norwich’s leaky defence

Norwich City 1-5 Aston Villa

Goals: Josip Drmic (£5.4m) | Wesley (£6.0m) x2, Jack Grealish (£5.9m), Conor Hourihane (£5.7m), Douglas Luiz (£4.5m)
Assists: None | Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) x2, Hourihane, Matt Targett (£4.4m) Wesley
Bonus Points: Wesley x3, Michael McGovern (£4.0m) x2, Hourihane x1

Norwich City’s thrill-a-minute return to the Premier League continued on Saturday with a 5-1 battering at home by fellow promoted side Aston Villa.

The commitment of Daniel Farke’s team to attacking football is refreshing, exhilarating and, increasingly, self-defeating. Since Gameweek 5’s famous 3-2 win over Manchester City, the Canaries have lost three straight games by an aggregate score of 1-9.

Their well-documented injury woes – just the nine regulars unavailable against Villa – goes some way to explaining all of that, but an inability to defend on even the most basic level is starting to look like a terminal issue.

It was certainly exploited by the visitors, with striker Wesley (£6.0m) enjoying by far his best display since his summer move to the Midlands. He opened the scoring when he controlled Anwar El Ghazi‘s (£5.5m) cross and turned and fired past Norwich keeper Michael McGovern (£4.0m), before he doubled the lead with a tap-in from Conor Hourihane‘s (£5.7m) low ball from the left.

That made it four goals in eight starts for the Brazilian – not exactly a bad return for a forward who some Villa fans were criticising after last week’s 2-2 draw with Burnley.

He added an assist for the fifth goal when Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) curled home from distance to bring in 14 points, including maximum bonus, for his 2.0% Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownership.

The only downer on his day came when he had a first-half penalty, and the rebound, saved by McGovern – a blip which cost that ownership a further six points.

Despite all that, there is no indication of an FPL rush to bring in Wesley just yet, probably because a) it was only Norwich, b) the international break is upon us and c) Villa’s upcoming schedule is far from appealing.

Dean Smith’s side host Brighton in Gameweek 9 before embarking on a punishing six-match run involving two trips to Manchester, one to Chelsea and a home fixture against Liverpool.

However uninspired Manchester United, or generous at the back Chelsea, might be, no side will be anywhere near as accommodating as Norwich at present.

The Canaries allowed their visitors 22 shots, of which 12 were on target; Villa’s midfield ran riot as a result.

Jack Grealish (£5.9m) made it 3-0 when he combined sweetly with El Ghazi, and the tireless Hourihane then capped a fine individual performance with his first goal of the season, set up by the equally industrious Matt Targett (£4.4m).

But while Wesley stole all the headlines, it was El Ghazi who was arguably the star of the show.

The Holland international now has two goals and three assists from his last five games and he was joint-top for chances created at Carrow Road. With just 0.8% ownership, he could be a major differential, particularly when Villa’s schedule eases dramatically from Gameweek 17 onwards.

One player proving way more popular than El Ghazi is the 11.7%-owned John McGinn (£5.8m), who came into the match with back-to-back goals and 214,000+ new owners to his name.

His blank was a bitter blow, as was the late consolation goal handed to Norwich when Tyrone Mings‘ (£4.6m) ill-judged back pass to Tom Heaton (£4.5m) allowed substitute Josip Drmic (£5.4m) to charge down the keeper’s attempted clearance and roll the ball into the empty net. That denied Villa a third clean sheet of the season – and a first away from home – but manager Smith was happy to dwell on events further up the pitch:

They were really good goals, our tactical discipline was really good today. Our performances have been there. That result today is probably what we’ve deserved in the last few weeks. – Dean Smith

And he was keen to praise Wesley:

He’s a young player, he’s only 22, he’s been in Belgium for a year or two and then Slovakia before that. So it’s a new culture, a new team a new group of players, and a big price tag. But he handles it well and I saw a big response from him this week. – Dean Smith.

Wesley’s Norwich counterpart, the 43.5%-owned Teemu Pukki (£7.2m), could only dream of receiving such praise.

After three double-digit returns from his first five matches, the Finn has now blanked for three straight Gameweeks.

Norwich attacked throughout on Saturday – the top four players for penalty area touches all came from the home side, with Pukki among them.

But the Finland international managed just two shots, neither of which were on target, and has had just seven attempts across his current barren spell.

It is no surprise, therefore, that he is currently Gameweek 9’s most-sold player, even with a trip to a Bournemouth side without a clean sheet to come next.

The Canaries’ other popular asset, the 25.7%-owned Todd Cantwell (£4.9m), survived an injury scare to start against Villa, but he also blanked for a third Gameweek running.

He did at least out-shoot Pukki and he was also joint-top with Emiliano Buendia (£6.0m) for chances created among the home players. And the third-most-owned Norwich player in FPL? That would be goalkeeper McGovern (5.6%).

The 380,000+ Fantasy geniuses who have the Canaries’ third-choice stopper in their squads would have walked away with nine points yesterday courtesy of his penalty heroics, six other saves and two bonus points.

But that was if – and it’s a big if – he wasn’t languishing on their benches in all his £4.0m glory.

Glory was certainly far from Farke’s mind post-match:

We have to accept this loss. We made too many mistakes. We created maybe more than they did in the first half, but the mistakes and the goals we were conceded were not good enough. We had so many on the pitch playing with pain killers and they have not been able to train properly this week. So really we are not prepared as we need to be. Then in addition, one or two crucial players do not have their best day. – Daniel Farke

In truth, only McGovern had his best day against Villa, and even he looked nervy before his spot-kick save.

As for the rest of the players, the international break looks to have come at just the right time, allowing them to escape overseas, take a break or recover from injury – whatever is needed to reverse a slide that is looking unstoppable at the moment.

How many Fantasy managers keep faith in the likes of Pukki and Cantwell before November’s final break of the year is unclear. Their fixtures are okay – Bournemouth and Brighton away, Man United and Watford at Carrow Road – but their form is anything but.

      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      are you any way concerned about aubamayang being pushed wide with lacazettes return after the int break ?

      also Abraham and Vardy should keep up with him given their fixtures....

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, Laca back may see Auba hit a rough patch on the wing.

    4. Sting

    5. AndyCook
        4 years, 5 months ago

    6. On The Up
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      WC Thought?

      Pope Button
      TAA Soyuncu tomori lundstram Rico

      What do you reckon?

      1. Relaxing

        Basically identical to my draft

        1. Relaxing
          • 8 Years

          So I like it

      2. pjanns
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Nope. All good in my opinion.

      3. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        save imo.

        1. On The Up
          • 14 Years

      4. Gringo Kid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That team costs 104 ITB

        1. On The Up
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          already had half of them my TV was 103.8

      5. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I can't even afford that team starting Lund every week with more fodders.

        1. On The Up
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          wildcarded early and got pukki mount lund abraham at starting price

      6. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

      7. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That’s my idea of perfect front three.

      8. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        i’d be 0.5 off that team. insane transfer value

        1. On The Up
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          yeah wildcarded early and got pukki mount lund abraham at starting price

      9. WVA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        My current team is below so I really like your WC team except Tamori!

        Pope Button
        TAA VVD Otamendi Soyunca Lundstram
        Mane KDB Mount 4.5 4.5
        Aguero Wilson Abraham

        1. On The Up
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          i like it, just got fed up with expensive defense thought sterling and vardy would make up for it.

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          You can do so much more with your team shifting Kun.

    7. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      From looking at the WCs on this page, I can see people are going without sterling and/or Aguero. Villa and Southampton at home look really good fixtures. City will be fine when KDB is back

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        *previous page now

        1. On The Up
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          still got sterling and kdb

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Opposition teams have now seen what Wolves did to City's defence. Other teams will now start taking City on the counter. City panicked and Wolves caught them out a second time.

        Ota and Fernandinho are slow. City will not be able to afford playing a high line going forward even with KDB back.

    8. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Have 2 FTs

      A) Pieters + Cantwell + Haller >> Lowton + Maddison + Wilson (-4)

      OR

      B) Cantwell + Haller >> Yarmolenko + Vardy

      1. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Could do Mcginn instead of Yarmo

      2. AndyCook
          4 years, 5 months ago

          A

      3. Ziyech on the Bench
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Salah to Mane before price rise? Got 2FT 1.0 ITB, next gameweek McGinn to Maddison

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Salah to Mane is so bloody sideways.

          Ota was like cheese being grated today. I would shift him ASAP.

            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks. Made free transfers getting Vardy and Söyüncü. Would’ve been priced out tomorrow. Would like to get Tierney for attacking potential and I think he will start after IB so may take -4 or play Otamendi one more week and then make move free

      5. Alli
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        A) Salah, Pukki > Mané, C.Wilson

        4 years, 5 months ago

        A) Pukki > Wilson

        Leaning towards b. What do you guys think?

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          a

      8. Pedersen
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Did Saka seem good today? His stats says pretty offensive for 4.5m mid

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Bench when Laca is back, likely after IB.

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

          Laca will probably be back after the internationals which doesn't bode well. Might be a good impact sub for them but not sure about more than that. Unless he drops Pepe instead that is?

          1. Pedersen
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            He cant. Would mean admitting failure to drop Pepe...

      9. SkeletONv01
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Need to shift one of Sterling and Salah > Mane to have enough cash for a Cantwell > Mount move. Who to shift? 😐 Really think that doubling up with Mo and Mane could bring decent points agains ManU and Spurs. Also have KDB for city.

      10. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thoughts on this WC team please people? Thanks

        Pope - McGovern
        Chambers - Soyuncu - Ota - Robbo - Lund
        Mane - KDB - Yarmo - Mount - Nakamba
        Vardy - Auba - Abraham

        1. AndyCook
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Vardy to Wilson, Maddison over Yarmolenko? Alexander-Arnold over Robertson somehow, would probably avoid Chambers he’s not guaranteed game time

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            By a fair bit too, I might move Wilson to him after his next two.

              nope. Jimenez is only player from Wolves who i would consider, and maybe Boly.

                Probably not, played as wing back until a late substitution

                Why is Ricardo Pereira overlooked on here?

                1. Relaxing
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Soy

                  1. ZeBestee
                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Soy offers no attacking threat, Pereira has been really good recently.

                    1. St Pauli Walnuts
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      True but it's a hefty saving and if you use it smartly you can potentially more than offset the attacking returns elsewhere. Still, he's certainly a great pick.

                      1. Relaxing
                        • 8 Years

                        Beat me to it

                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      I don't dispute that but Soy has been great value as people llok to shift money from the back to the front. Pereira is definitely a good option from now on though

                Pope
                TAA / Soy / Ota
                Mane / KDB / Madd / Mount
                Auba / Vardy / Tammy

                Button / Rico / Cantwell / Lund

                1. AndyCook
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Like a wildcard team

                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      Cool, I'll take than considering it's not. The WC went ages ago ha.

                      1. AndyCook
                          4 years, 5 months ago

                          It’s very good. I almost don’t want to bench Rico but like you I think I will

                          1. St Pauli Walnuts
                            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                            • 5 Years
                            4 years, 5 months ago

                            It wouldn't surprise me if Ota is dropped next game as he was that bad today (and all season really) so Rico may well come in anyway. I'm half tempted to drop him myself ha.

                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      I’m on WC and looking at this (with Ota downgrade as you have good TV), just need to find balls to drop both Salah and Sterling

                      1. St Pauli Walnuts
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        Ota will probably be my next transfer out (likely for Tomori), he is playing horrifically and is only in the team because there's no one else (apart from kids). Stones maybe back soon so Pep may well drop him then.

                        Yes dropping the two big S is definitely a risk but as a City fan who sees plenty of Sterling, I just don't think he in involved enough at the moment to justify the outlay. Mane isn't going to be far off Salah point at the end of the season so I'm happy with that for now. I've got 0.7 ITB so am flexible at least.

                      I've just done it but only because I wanted the extra dosh to do Pukki to Vardy for free as part of it. If you're only doing one transfer I'd wait unless clear indication is Son isn't going to play.

                      I would. You can get Vardy/Auba, Mane instead Salah. I would ditch Digne too, maybe Pukki, Greenwood definitely etc
