Teemu Pukki - Involved in both Norwich goals Pukki had an assist and scored a goal while taking four shots (two on goal) and creating two chances during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Manchester United.
Impact Pukki set up Kieran Dowell in first half stoppage time before scoring himself in the 52nd to play a role in both Norwich goals. The goal was the tenth of the season for the forward while his assist was number three on the year.

Mathias Normann - Creates one chance Normann took an off target shot, crossed twice inaccurately and created a chance during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Manchester United.
Impact Normann was held off the scoresheet as Norwich fell to Manchester United on Saturday. The midfielder finished with the third highest amount of shots and crosses on the team while his lone chance created was the second most in the loss.
APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tim Krul - Beaten three times on Saturday Krul allowed three goals while making six saves during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Manchester United.
Impact Krul was beaten twice in the first half and once in the second, all three times by Cristiano Ronaldo. The keeper has now allowed 48 goals in 25 league starts while his six saves upped his season total to 90.
APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Grant Hanley - Leader in blocks, clearances Hanley blocked three shots, won a tackle and made eight clearances during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Manchester United.
Impact Hanley was a part of the Norwich back line that allowed three goals on Saturday. The centerback finished with team-high totals in blocks and clearances in the loss.

Kieran Dowell - First goal, first assist Dowell scored a goal and added an assist while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing twice accurately, creating two chances and making two interceptions during Saturday's 3-2 lo...
Impact Dowell scored a goal in first half stoppage time and set up Teemu Pukki in the 52nd minute to play a role in both Norwich goals. The goal and assist were both the first of the season for the attacker as he finished with team-high totals in chances created and interceptions in the loss.
APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew Omobamidele - Shut down for season Omobamidele (back) has been officially ruled out for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign.
Impact The news shouldn't come as a surprise considering Omobamidele hasn't played since Dec. 5 against Tottenham due to his back problem. Even prior to his absence, the defender struggled to break into the starting XI with any consistency, so his continued absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.
APRIL 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Sargent - Remains unavailable Sargent (ankle) is no longer wearing a protective boot on his ankle but won't be an option against Manchester United on Saturday.
Impact While it's certainly a step in the right direction, Sargent figures to be a long shot to be ready in time for the club's April 23 clash with Newcastle United, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. Once cleared to play, Sargent should be a mainstay in the starting XI considering he has featured in 18 of his 25 appearances for the club this year.
APRIL 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Przemyslaw Placheta - Back in training Placheta (ankle) is training with the squad and will be in contention versus Manchester United on Saturday.
Impact Even prior to getting hurt, Placheta was an unused substitute for four straight contests, so he's far from a lock for the starting XI even with his ankle problem behind him. In limited action (nine appearances), the forward has generated seven shots (six on target), 22 crosses (five accurate) and 11 corners. As such, he should be capable of offering decent fantasy value if he can break into the starting XI versus United.
APRIL 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Billy Gilmour - In contention Saturday Gilmour (COVID-19) has recovered and returned to training and should be in the mix versus Manchester United on Saturday.
Impact Gilmour has started 17 of his 19 appearances for the club this year in which he generated one assist, 13 shots (two on target), 89 crosses (31) accurate and 58 corners. Still, Gilmour has also served as an unused substitute on six occasions this year, so he is not exactly a lock for the starting XI now that he's back in action.

Brandon Williams - Ineligible against parent club Williams is not an option for Saturday's trip to Manchester United, his parent club.
Impact Williams has been dealing with a minor knock and now he'll get an extra week to recover, as he can't play against his parent club. Even then, it's a wonder if he'll return to the starting XI for the next match, as Dimitris Giannoulis has played well at left-back the last couple matches.
APRIL 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Gibson - Makes eight clearances in win Gibson made two tackles (one won), eight clearances and two blocks while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Burnley.
Impact Gibson made a great partnership with Grant Hanley at the heart of the defense as they almost formed a wall against opposing forwards to withstand some stretches of heavy pressure. With 31 clearances over his last five starts, Gibson will try to remain productive during Saturday's visit to Manchester United.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Grant Hanley - Makes 12 clearances in win Hanley had one off-target shot, made one tackle (won), 13 clearances, three interceptions and two blocks and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Burn...
Impact Hanley had another superb showing at the heart of the defense, racking up double digits clearances for the second consecutive match and being one of the biggest reason why his side was able to shut the opposition down again. With 11 tackles, 47 clearances, 11 interceptions and nine blocks over his last five starts, the centre back will try to keep up with the strong play during Saturday's visit to Manchester United.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tim Krul - Keeps clean sheet in win Krul made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Burnley.
Impact Krul had another impressive performance between the sticks, making some big saves along the way to keep back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since October. The goalkeeper will have a much tougher mission next Saturday as his side visits Manchester United.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Milot Rashica - Takes three shots in win Rashica had three shots on goal, created two chances, sent in four inaccurate crosses and drew two fouls during Sunday's 2-0 win over Burnley.
Impact Rashica was a constant threat from the left flank, always trying to do something different and using his combination of speed and skill to dribble past his opponents and lead Norwich's offensive transition. Despite his strong play, the winger is still struggling to appear on the scoresheet in his first EPL campaign, with just one goal and two assists over 25 matches (19 starts). Up next for Rashica is Saturday's visit to Manchester United.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mathias Normann - Provides assist in win Normann provided an assist, had one off-target shot, created three chances and made three tackles (two won), and three clearances during Sunday's 2-0 win over Burnley.
Impact Normann had another solid performance in front of the defensive line and this time he also added significant contribution on the offensive end, creating a season-high three chances and making a brilliant assist for Teemu Pukki to seal the 2-0 win in the closing minutes. This performance could've revealed some untapped attacking upside for Normann, but he's expected to keep providing tackles, clearances and interceptions. Up next for him is Saturday's visit to Manchester United.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Teemu Pukki - Scores in win Pukki scored a goal off seven shots (two on target), created three chances and drew one foul during Sunday's 2-0 win over Burnley.
Impact Pukki was a constant threat for Norwich, firing a game-high seven shots while also creating some opportunities for his teammates. And, in the 86th minute, the forward sealed the 2-0 win with a classy finish after picking up a nice through pass completely unmarked inside the box. With three goals and one assist over his last five league starts, Pukki will try to keep adding to his tally during Saturday's visit to Manchester United.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Pierre Lees-Melou - Scores opener in win Lees-Melou scored a goal off two shots (one on target), created two chances and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-0 win over Burnley.
Impact Lees-Melou received his fourth consecutive start and was finally able to appear on the scoresheet. With just nine minutes into the game, the midfielder opened the scoring for Norwich with a one-timed right footer that was helped by a deflection on its way into the net. Despite scoring here, Lees-Melou isn't a very attractive fantasy pick as his contributions are rarely reflected on the stat sheet. Up next for him is Saturday's visit to Manchester United.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Przemyslaw Placheta - Still sidelined Sunday Placheta (ankle) was on the shelf versus Burnley on Sunday.
Impact Prior to Placheta's two-match absence, he was an unused substitute in five of the club's prior six outings, so he is unlikely to suddenly break into the starting XI with any consistency once cleared to play.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lukas Rupp - Comes off bench versus Burnley Rupp (undisclosed) logged 21 minutes as a substitute against Burnley on Sunday.
Impact Considering Rupp has started just once in his last four appearances, the midfielder may be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI with any consistency even now that he is fully fit. Even if he does feature, Rupp's limited offensive upside figures to limit him to mid-range fantasy value at best.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Sargent - MIsses out again Sunday Sargent (ankle) was held out of the squad for Sunday's matchup with Burnley.
Impact Sargent has now missed two straight contests due to his lingering ankle problem. Prior to his absence, the forward has started six consecutive contests and should be a fixture in the starting XI once given the all-clear to get back onto the pitch. In the meantime, Kieran Dowell should continue to be an option in an attacking role.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Williams - Makes brief appearance Williams (undisclosed) made a six-minute substitute appearance off the bench against Burnley on Sunday.
Impact Williams had featured in 10 straight contests prior to suffering his undisclosed injury. With the left-back back in the squad, he should be in contention to reclaim his place in the starting XI against Manchester United on Saturday where he should offer decent mid-range fantasy value given his ability to generate crosses.
APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Max Aarons - Unused substitute Sunday Aarons (illness) was in the match-day squad against Burnley on Sunday but didn't get onto the pitch.
Impact While Aarons didn't make it back into the starting XI, the fact that he was at least fit enough to be an option off the bench should clear the way for him to play versus Manchester United on Saturday. If Aarons does return to the pitch Sunday, he figures to offer decent mid-range fantasy value.
