Dugout Discussion

Just the one game to entertain us this Sunday, as Norwich welcome Sunderland to Carrow Road. The Black Cats Fantasy assets have a perfect platform to grab our attention ahead of their double Gameweek, though they have a tough task on their hands – the Canaries have registered clean sheets in each of their last three home matches:

As always, our Dugout Discussion is open ahead of the 4pm kick-off, with the team news as follows:

Chris Hughton names the same starting XI that drew 1-1 at Everton in midweek, with Ryan Bennett continuing to deputise at centre-half for the injured Michael Turner.

Norwich Starting XI: Bunn; Whittaker, Bassong, R. Bennett, Garrido; Snodgrass, Johnson, Tettey, Pilkington; Hoolahan; Holt

For Sunderland, James McClean earns a recall to the first-team. Seb Larsson moves into central midfield to cover for the injured Lee Cattermole – this sees Adam Johnson shift to the right, with McClean returning to his usual left wing berth.

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Bardsley, Kilgallon, Cuellar, Rose; Johnson, Larsson, Gardner, McClean; Sessegnon; Fletcher

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    REPOST

    Team is linked,

    GW 16 Pienaar(TOT) > Mcanuff(DGW) + Lallana(RDG) > Fellaini(TOT) for a hit

    or

    GW 16 Pienaar > Mcanuff
    GW 17 Lallana > Fellaini for no hit?

    need to downgrade Pienaar to get funds for Fellaini

    Bunn,cuellar,fletcher,sessegnon. surely... SURELY I'm supposed to get something,right?

    -a cleanie for cuellar ?- no
    -a cleanie for bunn.?..-no
    -if not a norwich cleanie, then probably a goal/assist for fletcher/sess in the sun'land goal? doesn't look like it's going to happen

    - and for the icing on the cake, fletcher's an early doubt for the DGW!!
