Cantwell and Deeney on the bench as Norwich host Watford

For the second match in a row, Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) finds himself on the Norwich City bench.

The budget midfielder enjoyed a long run of starts for the Canaries in the first 10 Gameweeks of the campaign while Onel Hernandez (£5.3m) was out injured.

With the Cuban fully recovered, he starts against Watford, making his second start of the 2019/20.

It makes for an unchanged Norwich team from the one that lost 2-0 at Brighton.

Daniel Farke went with a 4-2-3-1 on that occasion but it appears as if he has deployed his troops in a 4-1-4-1 tonight.

Tom Trybull (£4.5m) looks to be operating in the holding role with Marco Stiepermann (£5.3m) and Kenny McLean (£4.9m) in the middle of the midfield four.

As ever, Teemu Pukki (£6.8m) starts up-front after another week of mass sales among Fantasy managers.

Meanwhile, Watford’s matchday squad has Troy Deeney (£6.2m) in it for the first time since Gameweek 2.

The centre-forward has been recovering with a long-term injury and is fit enough only for the bench.

Quique Sanchez Flores has stuck with his favoured three-man defence, which has produced better performances in recent weeks.

Craig Cathcart (£4.4m), Christian Kabasele (£4.3m) and Craig Dawson (£4.8m) make up the trio in Gameweek 12, with Jose Holebas (£4.7m) and Daryl Janmaat (£4.3m) on the flanks of midfield.

There does appear to be a slight tweak to the usual 3-5-2 deployed under Flores of late, with Will Hughes (£5.5m) pushing out of the midfield to sit as a number 10 behind Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m).

Norwich City XI (4-1-4-1): Krul; Lewis, Godfrey, Tettey, Aarons; Trybull; Hernandez, Stiepermann, McLean, Buendía; Pukki.

Watford XI (3-4-1-2): Foster; Cathcart, Kabasele, Dawson; Holebas, Doucouré, Capoue, Janmaat; Hughes; Pereyra, Deulofeu.

    Regret not captaining Mane.

    Logged in at 19:04 - did the gameweek save me from myself?

    Have Vardy ©

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Think Vardy good choice.

      Will probably blank though as I've captioned as well.

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      Both good options

    2 managers with Deulofeu captained in LMS.

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

      Mystic Meg and Russell Grant?

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      They’re through to next round then

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      only 2? he was a good option

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    This game is just chaos

  6. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    A better team would have scored 3 goals on that Watford defwnce by now.

  7. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Salah owned by just 16.3% of the Top 10k! Incredible, just like his stats and performances at Anfield: 12, 15, 9, 2, 7 for an average of 9 points per match at home. Going to be an amazing differential

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

      🙂

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      o/

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      9 Ppg for 12M is awful

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, very awful. I would hate if a player scored (38 x 9) over the course of the season: 342 points 😆

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          It’s less than 30 points per million, lots of players will get over 30 ppm

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Of course they will but you’re forgetting the most powerful metric - captaincy

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        This 😀

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      so bench him away?

    5. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He is on Manes shadow now

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cream will rise and stats still well in the Egyptian’s favour. Penalties alone is worth an extra million imo.

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          There is no doubt that he will haul at some point but I don't see him overscoring Mane this year

  8. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Lot of bragging by non Cantwell owners about how he's 'done' and Hernandez is great.

    He's not, he's dog dirt

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

      An upgrade of Can'twells cat soil.

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

      I’m a Cantwell owner am not seeing this...

    3. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      you watching the same game as us? Hernandez is a spark...

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He certainly improved after I had a word. He's still an over bulked turgid winger and Cantwell will prevail

  9. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Norwich look terrible. Can't keep the ball and disorganised defensively.

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

      Watford look equally bad though.

  11. TeddiPonza

    Using my wildcard tonight. Which option is better?

    Gazzaniga Button
    Robbo Trent Lundy Rico X
    Mane KdB Tony M X Dendo
    Jimmy Vardy Tammy

    A. Pulisic and 4,1m defender (3rd sub)
    B. Mount and Tomori/Soy..

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A if Pulisic is nailed.

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

    Hernandez is such a huge upgrade on Cantwell in real terms. His pacenis frightening

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

      *pace is

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

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

        Disagree - Hernandez probably Championship standard. Cantwell League 1

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years

    Pereyra down

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

      For others: he's off, replaced by Gray.

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Callum Wilson blanking against this shower, what a shitebag!

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Pukki misses a sitter

    Offside

    1. Rainer

      Knew he was off...

  18. Rainer

    Pukki xG!

  19. Differential C (Mark)

    Pukki is Finnish

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      Hes only 28

      1. Gudjohnsen

    2. MidasBoys XI

  20. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

    Decided to go with Mane over Vardy for captain. Good call?

    1. Poseidon.

      Stay tuned to find out

    2. Differential C (Mark)

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      You'll have to wait till about 18:30 on Sunday to find out.

    4. Podge
      • 13 Years

      I was considering it with ederson out but stuck with vardy as I’d actually like to see city win for the title race

  21. Rainer

    HoleBAPs half shooting from a corner, love that!

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    This is some of the worst defending I have ever seen

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

      Both sides? Just one?

  23. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hernandez is a good player! Cantwell will never get back into the team

    Looking dangerous on the left Norwich....

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Should be like this imo:

      Pukki
      Cantwell Buendia Hernandez

  24. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Janmaat will be lucky to stay on for the second half at this rate

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Jafooli warming up!

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I dont want him on the pitch past 61 minutes

  25. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Bring on Todd this Hernandez is rubbishi

  26. Am sorry to say again it�…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Hernandez could become a nice FPL asset for his price

  27. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Hernandez getting so many opportunities. Cantwell haul coming in the last ten.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Watford are allowing him all the space in the world but he keeps messing up

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe they know he has no end product :p

  28. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Remember when Capoue scored with every shot

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

      And when Pukki did too.

  29. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    This is painful to watch.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      could be worse, its not a Man U home game

  30. Rainer
