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.

      Fair to say we won't be seeing cantwell for a while after this performance

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

        Awful!

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

      Both Pukki and Cantwell look like they’ve never played the game before

    • Sun Jihai

      Digne is going to have a field day vs. Norwich

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

        Digne in next week then move to Robbo could be a plan!

    • NED KELLY
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Captain Salah if you have him

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

        What if I have sterling too and prefer to cap him?

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

      Hearing the Pukki party has been rescheduled for next week

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

        In Finland?

        Think I'm the last one out. I'll turn off the lights.

        1. Camzy

          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I held one week more than I should have. Would've been able to get 0.1m more and Jimenez if I had moved quickly. But at least I got out two weeks ago!

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

            Just super annoying. I've never ever been this patient before playing FPL, and there's not been any reward whatsoever.

            Think I'm going to get Richarlison just for Norwich game. They seem that bad.

        Given my invite back already.

        Pukey

        All that’s left is peeps picking through ashtrays looking for dog ends that they can make a rolly out of.
        Everybody else has left and is writhing about in vodka and charlie

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Meet the Manger interviewees always preach about patience & consistency.

      With how consistent Pukki has been, surely owners are holding for another month?

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

        Meet the manger? It’s a bit early for the nativity show isn’t it?

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

        Every instinct told me to switch Pukki for Deulofeu before this game. But I've been burnt before selling a striker before a home game.

        This Norwich team are so poor, I just don't think they're competitive at the moment.

      3. diesel001
        • 7 Years

        Patience usually means 4 GWs though. Pukey has been blanking for more than 4 GWs.

      Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will talk to Bayern Munich next week over their vacant manager's job.

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Arsenal should strike now before it is too late.

    • VanDijksToWatchOutFor

      Is that a Janmaat clean sheet I see? 🙂

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

        C'mon Foster, drop a BAP.

    • pjanns
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Diop - Montoya —> robertson - Reid?

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Deulofeu 3
      Foster 2
      Janmaat 1

      Close between Foster & Janmaat, could both get 2.

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

        Looks final on the FPL site maybe they just got it over with. Everyone made it clear from the start they don’t own Janmaat so they can score them fairly

    • fachada
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Deulofeu and Janmaat got me from 101k to 30k.. not expected this punt to go so nicely

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

        Oh what a night.

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

          If the weekend goes as smooth as this evening, will be on a good jump

      2. Ask Yourself

        Wow nice

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

      Mount and Pukki to Richarlison and Deulofeu for a one week punt for free? Will WC after GW13.

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

        Sure, why not

      2. Longlatini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hell no

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

          Why not?

    • Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just get whoever plays Norwich.

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

        I did but it never works for me

      2. Regin
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. When playing free hit, triple up on Norwich opponent defenders.

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

        Well yes. Digne or Rich could be a juicy punt

    • Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      What are the chances of Mousset starting this week?

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

        Decent chance. Three assists last week.

        If he doesn't start, he often gets subbed on anyway.

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Will play from start or manager likes to switch fwds during game.

    • Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pukki out for
      A. Jimenez
      B. Firmino
      C. Lacazette

      Is laca or firmino worth a punt?

      1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Jimi

    • Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not a bad night, went up 8k in FPL without a player on the pitch.

      Did Gray to Deulofeu this week in draft.

      And capt. Foster for 24pts in the Sky game. 🙂

    • Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      So it's too late to make changes for this gameweek, right? hahah.

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

        Casual

        1. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          More casual than a pair of flip flops.

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

      Time to WC this or just get rid of Pukki for Jimenez?

      Pope, Heaton
      Lundstram, Rico, Söyüncü, TAA, Otamendi
      Pulisic, Salah, KDB, Dendoncker, Tielemans
      Vardy, Pukki, Abraham

      If I WC it will likely be

      Henderson, Heaton
      Lundstram. Rico, Chilwell, TAA, Willems
      Mané, KDB, McGinn, Pulisic, James
      Vardy, Jimenez, Abraham

      1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
