Trossard secures Brighton win as toothless Norwich bench Pukki and Cantwell

Norwich 0-1 Brighton

  • Goals: Leandro Trossard (£5.8m)
  • Assists: Aaron Mooy (£4.7m)
  • Bonus Points: Trossard x3, Lewis Dunk x2 (£4.7m), Mat Ryan x1 (£4.7m)

A first half goal from Leandro Trossard secured all three points for Brighton in a 1-0 win at Carrow Road on Saturday lunch-time.

That took the Seagulls to a 36-point tally, which should ensure their Premier League survival and further dent Norwich’s hopes of the same.

On a day where pubs re-opened their doors nationwide, the poor opening game did not live up to the billing of ‘Super Saturday’.

Having rested him for Tuesday’s defeat to Manchester United, Graham Potter restored Neal Maupay (£5.7m) to the side here, joining Aaron Connolly (£4.2m) up front in a 4-4-2 system.

That saw Trossard and Aaron Mooy (£4.7m) out wide and it was these two players who combined for the only goal of the game after 25 minutes. Mooy’s low cross met the Belgian at the near post, who guided his shot to the right of goalkeeper Tim Krul (£4.6m).

With such a toothless Norwich attack, Brighton did not need to play particularly well to hold onto their win. The Canaries have not scored since the Premier League resumed and only have one goal from their last nine league outings.

Inexplicably, Teemu Pukki (£6.5m) and Todd Cantwell (£4.6m) were again rotated by head coach Daniel Farke, a repeat of the recent 1-0 home defeat to Everton, as he desperately seeks a winning formula.

“It was a tough game as we expected and a bit scrappy at times, but a moment of quality won the match. The resilience impressed me the most. The ability to stick at it, to fight for each other. I think that has been evident for us since the lockdown especially.”

Graham Potter

In fact, Pukki has just two goals from 13 starts – both penalties – and Cantwell has not added to his six goals and two assists since New Year’s Day. Josip Drmic (£5.3m) and Onel Hernández (£5.3m) started in their places, with the Cuban producing a few half-chances in the opening period.

13 minutes in, Hernández cut inside but saw his shot blocked and six minutes later found himself lively on the opposite flank, taking on Lewis Dunk (£4.7m) before blazing a shot wide.

Just before half time, Emiliano Buendía’s (£6.0m) edge-of-box roulette turn set up another Hernández shot, this time blocked before looping safely into Mat Ryan’s (£4.7m) hands.

Cantwell and Pukki did make cameos, introduced by Farke in a triple substitution with Adam Idah (£4.4m), but produced almost nothing apart from a late Cantwell booking for fouling Tariq Lamptey (£4.0m).

Of the three, it was Idah who had the one golden chance in stoppage time, who got across Dan Burn (£4.5m) and saw his header agonisingly hit the post. Interestingly, it has been the budget forward who has looked the most dangerous when Norwich have made changes in their last two games.

“We didn’t have the quality to anticipate or smell to reward our performance. We were unlucky in the end with Adam Idah who hit the outside of the post. Even the ball can’t explain how it came out.”

Daniel Farke

That was the only main threat to the Brighton defence, calmly gathering their eighth clean sheet of the season and a third successive away shut-out. Goalkeeper Ryan collected a rare bonus point and, facing so little, only tallied one save. For anyone chasing Seagulls defensive investment after their matches against Liverpool and Manchester City, perhaps the best one to consider is Dunk. He has three goals and three assists on top of the clean sheets this season, with 15 bonus points partially gained from making the most defensive recoveries in the league.

However, as already mentioned, Brighton’s upcoming fixtures lack appeal. Back-to-back home meetings with Liverpool and Man City are followed by trips to Southampton and Burnley, hosting Newcastle in between. Perhaps those planning a Wildcard should look at the cheap right-back Lamptey.

Signed from Chelsea on January transfer deadline day, the pacey 19-year-old has started Brighton’s last three matches and often finds himself in the opponent’s box. Shown a late yellow card, a five-point return is still value for money considering the small outlay.

Trossard has now scored in both meetings with Norwich, taking him to four goals and five assists for the season. Those figures are impressive considering he has only played 1,680 minutes – the equivalent of almost 19 matches. He generally delivers points when he plays but is rotated too often to be a stable Fantasy option. That is true for most of Brighton’s non-defensive assets, as only Connolly and defensive midfielder Yves Bissouma (£5.0m) have started each of their last three games.

Most chances came through Mooy, setting up a couple of chances early in the second half. He fed the ball to Connolly on the left hand side, with the Irishman cutting inside only to see a shot blocked by Norwich’s returning Timm Klose (£4.3m). Soon after, Mooy’s free kick was met by the back of Burn’s head, as the ball dropped just wide of the far post.

Up front, Maupay has had a busy few games after injuring Bernd Leno (£4.7m), scoring a late winner against Arsenal and missing a penalty against Leicester but didn’t offer much goal threat this time.

Having seen the way Norwich gifted two goals to Arsenal through defensive errors, Maupay will be disappointed not to add to his goal tally. Norwich have only kept five clean sheets all season and their defence entered Gameweek 33+ having conceded 47 shots since the restart – only worsened by teams who played an extra fourth game.

“We have to say we are disappointed because, we are not relegated, but realistically this was our last chance to get back in the mix with a good result. After a few losses in a row, we don’t say that we have a right to win the last five games. It will be naïve and unrealistic.”

Daniel Farke

Max Aarons (£4.3m), Ben Godfrey (£4.4m) and Jamal Lewis (£4.4m) look promising talents but they play in a very young backline that has only produced one goal and two assists. From a Fantasy perspective, Norwich defenders should be avoided at all costs.

They travel to Watford in mid-week, then host West Ham. To stand a realistic chance of survival, Farke’s men need to win both.

Norwich XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Aarons, Godfrey, Klose, Lewis; Tettey (Vrancic 78’), McLean, Buendia, Duda (Idah 67’), Hernandez (Cantwell 67’), Drmic (Pukki ’67)

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-4-2): Ryan; Lamptey (Duffy 90+4′), Dunk, Webster, Burn; Bissouma (Mac Allister 79′), Mooy (Bernardo 72′), Propper, Trossard (Stephens 79′); Maupay, Connolly (Gross ’72′).

    Good Sunday morning all!

    I should have put the C on Bruno. 🙁
    Wolves had a bad game. 🙁
    My Willian pick is awesome! 🙂

    1. Steve The Spud

      Morning, same here! Except I did put the cap on Bruno 🙂

      I’m holding triple wolves which doesn’t bode well, do you recon they can bounce back ?

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This. I’m on WC deciding how many of my three (jimi, boly, saiss) to keep

      2. mad_beer ✅
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It's a tough call. They don't have much to play for but they keep ticking over nicely and they have four decent fixtures up next. I'm holding for now.

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Think I’ll hold as well, jimi seldom blanks 3 or 4 times in a row so hopefully gets back to form against SHU

          1. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I think on WC I’d just keep boly if any

      3. SpiritRising
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Defensively yes but attacking wise they haven't created too much. Probably go for the saiss bolt cheap double up should leave money for TAA.
        I think ederson in goal is a great pick just to leave in the rest of the season too.

      Morning mate!

  2. Amey

    Today is the day, when Mahrez Mane & Ederson proves to the FPL world that they are essential !!
    😛

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      *Salah i hope

    2. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years

      It will be interesting to see if Pool are at the beach. City are on fire.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        They are not on the beach. They just got ........ by one of the best teams in the world !
        Mane should have scored 2. Wasn't clinical enough.
        No worries. He'll get a hat-trick today 😉

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ederson on penalties?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Saving duties*

        Tbh if KDB is not on the pitch. Pep should try the cool guy once 😀

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You misspelt Salah bro 😉

      He’s hungrier and more to prove than Mané. Step aside Sadio 😆

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hunger does not always result in good man 😀
        You can try snatch at things which you shouldn't ....

        Go Sadio Go

        (This thing will be create huge upheaval in OR for sure. Salah is so highly owned. Mane is 30ish i guess)

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeh 97% EO vs 24%!

          Still prefer Salah for now...

    5. soumyeah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      be mildly shocked if mane doesn't explode today.
      the whole team frankly.

      but, 2020.

    1. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years

      Lots of people bought him?

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I’ve checked your math.....genius level achieved! Lol. More the fact their next 2 fixtures are city and pool.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      8 points
      Good goal threat
      Brighton only score via set plays
      Cheap
      Nailed

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Next 2 fixtures Man City and Liverpool. Nailed 0-1 point.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          They must be a firm believer in Form over fixtures then
          🙂

          1. kysersosa

            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Honestly thought he made of some under the radar move!

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              😀

    3. Kai
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good on the eyes

  4. juanmata8
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ings + De Gea > Greenwood + Ederson?

    Should I do it for a -4? Greenwood is absolutely on fire and the next 3 fixtures are amazing compared to Ings

    1. Ëð
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure I'd lose Ings for Greenwood. Can you lose one of your other forwards?

      1. juanmata8
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Rashford & Jiminez... I have a feeling Rashford is next in line for his haul

        1. Ëð
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I'd be tempted to pull the trigger on those in that case!

        2. soumyeah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          "he's due" thinking
          which might actually be stubbornness
          at least in my case
          is my perpetual undoing

          that and missing deadlines!

    2. Cruz88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm considering Jimi to Ings in a couple weeks, not sure Jimi has any decent fixtures left

  5. Ëð
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What would you do here, 2FT, 0.4m ITB.

    Pope, 3.9
    Maguire, Trent, Saiss, Lascelles, 3.9
    KDB, Bruno, Pulisic, Mane, Cantwell
    Rashford, Jimenez, DCL

    Thinking Rashford to Greenwood to free up some funds but don't know what to prioritise with them.

    1. juanmata8
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      DCL > Greenwood & Maguire > Doherty?

      1. Ëð
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I was looking at that, sadly my 3.9 defender is kilman from wolves 🙁 maybe laporte instead?

        1. juanmata8
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I dont trust Pep to bring in a premium defender.. Maybe a Chelsea defender

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Time for shef Utd to return to type please with a lovely 0-0 and some bps for his holiness

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Taylor 3 Bps
      And we have a deal

    2. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Need Pope to not get a CS because I sold him.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No one in my ML is holding any shef def anymore and only 1 other Pope owner

        May they be punished

    3. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I predict 2-1 to Burnley

    4. soumyeah

        Although he could facilitate Kane in for Jimi if I decide to lose Rashford....

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah. Would have been nice if they showed some positive signs Vs Chelsea.

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Seem to have lost their fight for sure.

              They don't have to fight.
              Just wish other's keep on piling up the .... they are right now (relegation clubs)

      What’s your WC team so far? I’m on one too.
      Wish this site had a area where you could see other wildcarders in the same week

      - I’m not sure on either as I’m targeting a 3-5-2 or 4-5-1
      - Yay
      - depends if there is rotation today with any of the big guns. If any of salah, mane, vvd or taa are dropped I’ll probably get rid of all LIV

        Yes that’s a great point. Will be on the lookout for that. I’ve still got my BB left so I’m gunning for a strong 15 in GW36. Gonna give me some benching headaches on the way but hey ho. Might be a good time to have a strong bench.

      Jimmy out for Ings is an option that I would consider.
      But looks good to save FT also 🙂

        I’m assessing that. Two weeks early but could easily score v next opponent

    Maguire and DCL to Azpi and Greenwood (-4) too knee jerk?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you need a united spot probably rather downgrade Rashford?

      DCL has a nice fixture next

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Can’t get Rashford easily without losing Maguire and that doesn’t free up too much value.

    Morning,

    Mahrez & jimi > foden & kane for a -4 worth it??

    Feel like Bournemouth are where the points are atm

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      So basically you're getting rid of Mahrez to fund Kane. Not for me.

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nope was always my plan to get rid of mahrez to foden. I think foden will be rested this week and then will start at home vs newcastle

        1. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Them moves for -4 are a no, no..

          1. n14mul
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            currently chasing and everyone in my ml has jimi....its not going to get me anywhere atm so need to think a bit different

            1. Shineonme
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              OK good luck

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why sell Mahrez though ?

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I ear marked foden at the restart and I haven't been wrong, the kid is a machine and well worth it. Feel pep will start him at home more.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Could backfire massively, would you even captain Kane?

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        vs Bournemouth? Possibly....i mean they are awful defensively

        1. soumyeah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          you basically need to captain him to justify the hit no?

          or is it Captain Phil FTW? 🙂

  16. el polako
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Only just watching MOTD, have to say Stanislas nutmeg on Maguire made me smile.

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      and the finish? If greenwood did that they would say goal of the season contender just for the cheek....

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good point.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      That was so smooth 😀

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Kind of thing you get punched for on the training pitch if done to older player.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Brutal.
      Bloody brutal that was.
      Then DDG kept on his pathetic run too !
      Scoring from that angle is impossible. He made it possible 😀

      Both goals were soft which makes me sad as a AWB owner

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Keep ddg for next year or would.you want Hendo in??

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Wish what i want mattered.
          But I'd sell the dave
          Get Hendo in.

  18. Napoleon IV

    does anyone know what the story is with Pepe? Was he just given a breather yesterday, or is something more serious stopping him playing?

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not even on the bench, I'd say something more serious. Any Arsenal fans out there know anything ?

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He must be not a hard-working guy. Which is basic requirement to play in a high profile game.

      Can start vs small clubs

    3. abaalan

        3 years, 8 months ago

        I suppose that's a good excuse, thanks!

        I'm thinking of shipping him off anyway, but that news would seem to imply he'll start the next match, which with the games coming thick and fast is not to be sniffed at. For this week I have Saka points coming off my bench, so I'm quite pleased he didn't play!

    a) Guendo, Rash > Mahrez, Greenwood

    c) other idea with 2FT, 1.6 ITB

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      a

  21. Vazza

    A. Saka
    B. Foden

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      B

    2. StoichkovFPL

    3. Easy Cheesy

      B but predicting when he will play vs. Get you one point will be trick. Benching headache every week w him.

  22. Hitmonlee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which of the below would you do:

    A) Maguire > Azpilicueta/Digne
    DCL > Greenwood
    Jiménez > Kane (-4)

    B) Maguire > Azpilicueta/Digne
    Ayew > Greenwood

    Current team:

    Pope
    TAA / Saiss / Maguire
    Salah / KDB / Bruno / Martial / Pulisic
    Jiménez / DCL

    Feedback appreciated - thank you!

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A if you captain Kane, B otherwise

      1. Hitmonlee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks Miguel

        I agree.. Harry is too much not to captain (that’s how it feels)

  23. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is Kane not just an expensive Jimi? I'm seeing more single goal hauls under Jose rather than than the hatties of old under Poch.

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It's true about single goal hauls but it's not Jose's fault. The decline was already there. Just continued.

  24. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    There are a few teams that have become whipping boys since the return of the PL they are just conceding goals for fun

    Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Norwich.

    Conceded a total of 29 goals between them.

  25. drughi
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Have the exact cash for Rashford and Guendouzi > Mahrez and Greenwood for a hit though, do it ? Means going 3-5-2 and benching one of dcl and jimenez

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fine moves - ditch DCL

      1. drughi

          1. drughi
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            dcl home to southampton and jimenez away to sheffield, tough choice who to bench

    2. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      same here as you saw above. Do it imo.
      Lets wait for City game but strong first bench player may be the way to go.

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years

    Time to WC these guys? Just lost a 50pt lead in my ML since the restart...

    Pope (Hendo)
    TAA, Saiss, AWB (Taylor, Lascelles)
    Mo, Bruno, KDB, Saka (Dendoncker)
    Ings, Jimi, Rashford

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Yes, do it!

    2. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Good team there. You must have lost the lead due to (C) choices possibly?

      1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
        • 12 Years

        Went Salah not Fernandes this week...but did Mo last week...and the week before...only just brought Fernandes in...too later perhaps

    3. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I’m on WC and thinking of getting rid of jimi. Kane and then vardy following week

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        And rash -> greenwood

  27. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years

    Am i mad?... considering Lascelles out for Azpi for a hit

  28. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Does anyone know if Masina was dropped for Watford or just rested? Trying to work out if I need to get rid as I'm planning to play BB and want 15 starters

  29. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Choose one:

    A. Son (bou) + 4 points
    Or
    B. Sterling/KDB (NEW) - depending on who starts later today

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      B

    Another gw of frustration. cant believe rival has gained 60points on me based on Auba(c) last gw and triple united attack this gw:(. Thoughts on what to do, no idea to be honest. have 1FT and 0.2m

    DDG
    TAA • Doherty • Holgate -- Kiko Lamptey
    Kdb • Salah • Bruno • Pulisic -- Guendouzi
    DCL • Jimmy • Rashford

    A: DDG + Jimmy/DCL >> Pope + Greenwood (-4) + 3m (for 5th mid)
    B: Rashford >> Greenwood + 4.5m
    C: Rashford + Guendouzi >> Mahrez + Greenwood (-4) but who to bench?
    D: Save FT, hope for the best and reassess with 2FTs in gw35

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B and maybe swap another forward for a hit.
      Rest of the team looks good.
