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

    As I have said. Fletcher is prone to injury - he missed a great deal of time at Wolves as a result - a Friday evening transfer target for FPL manager's not a Saturday evening one!!

    With Bale and Suarez out i can't field a good team next week (don't want to play 4-4-2 cause my defence sucks).

    Front 8 is:

    Bale - Silva - Walcott - Sterling - McAnuff
    RVP - Berba - Suarez

    Only transfer that comes to my mind is Suarez ->Defoe.

    Would you suggest something different?
