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.

    Buendia ruins pukki assist

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      yeah, Pukki's looking dangerous. Maybe it will actually translate into some points this week.

    This Chilean Hernandez seems decent for Norwich.

    Is their Cuban Hernandez any good?

  3. My heart goes Salalalalah

    Mendy to Robbo done. 0.2 swing tonight

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

      Robbo red card or injury then?

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hope not

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

      Better hope Borat doesn’t target him.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Robbo won't rise according to fplstatistics. But nice move!

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

        Could easily rise - on 91 with four and a half hours until price changes...

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

          Unlikely admittedly, as deadline passed, but still possible.

        Triple blue arrow up. Delta of 5045. Probably not tonight...

  4. Differential C (Mark)

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Watford never quite regenearated their centre backs, have they?
    Only CB reinforcement they got was Craig Dawson. Option include Kabasele, Cathcart, Prodl, Mariappa etc. Almost all were here the last time Flores reigned, I think.

    Gracia was f***ed by the board.

    What is the best site to use for live leagues?

    I use livefpl and it is great, but it takes so long to load each league

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Once it's loaded in livefpl, you won't have to load it again for the gameweek. Also you can refresh before the ten seconds it shows, and most probably you will find it loaded

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Oh right I see

        Got a question (don't mean for this to sound arsy, but) how come the sites goes down after games - is it because that time is such a high traffic magnet?

        1. Ragabolly
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah a huge spike in traffic that I have been trying my best to accommodate but since the website shows dynamic data (i.e. every user sees their own updated data all the time not just a fixed static webpage), it's very hard to accommodate those 5-minute spikes..

          1. Bruce Lee
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I see - interesting... great site - thanks for the work 🙂

    Someone in one of my mini leagues has took a 20 point hit and used bench boost for this week with Button,Kelly,Dendonker and Ake!!!! Any one else have any stories that could top that level of stupidity??? Haha

    Hi all - anyone know whether chambers is likely to stay in the arsenal team? Stats look good and given this is fifth defender could be worth a punt

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Likely

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Bellerin hasn't looked his old self since coming back, so Chambers could have a good run as long as he keeps playing well.

      1. Mweene
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Playing well? You must have pretty low standards

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

          You have to compare to the rest of their defenders. Bellerin is garbage in my eyes

    3. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Should be out as soon as Bellerin is fully fit. Not even close to being a full-back.

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

      Bellerin was a great pick till his hair took over his career

  19. Bruce Lee

        It’s hard to see past Poseidon actually. Maybe MPSR in 2nd

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

      I wouldn't feel comfortable giving the armband to anyone playing palace

    2. The FPL Units

    Looking at GW13 fixtures, none of my wc targets have easy fixtures. Liverpool triple can wait, I'll consider waiting until GW14, and maybe use FT for some punt.

    At the start of a new gameweek FPL Statistics updates the net transfers in/out of each player. Do they know which transfers were made on a wildcard and recalculate accordingly?

      I believe so.

  30. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Can anyone explain how someone like Pukki can have such a drop in form? Is it that other teams figure out their game plan and can easily stifle their attack? Confidence issues?

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

      Doesn't get to play Otamendi every week...

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

        Got a consolation at Anfield which probably put him on top of the world, then ran into a clueless Newcastle back line. Good against weak Chelsea & City defences.

        Norwich started losing so Farke had to sure things up a bit more, less chances for Pukki (he wasn't getting many anyway), teams figuring them out, it all added up.

        He will now score in 10 minutes.

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just a purple patch, that's all. Some of his goals were lucky

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Norwich are playing with less confidence so are providing less quality chances for him.

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years

      variance. sometimes the shots go in, sometimes they dont. norwich arent v good

      Thanks fellas, just curious!

    6. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I think for various reasons Norwich over performed in first few games and have regressed to thier norm for how should have performed this season.
