    Intersting Damien starting when he indicated this would be his team for Spurs.

    LVG stated he is backup to valencia. No surprise he is starting the season though as Valencia needs extra recovery from the Copa America. Darmian will have a chance though to stake his claim to a starting spot if his performance tonight and against spurs is good enough.

    I think its closer between the two than lvg suggested.

    I do too. Darmian getting forward a lot so far. Nothing going down the left.

    I agree, i assume he meant for the early stages of the season, until Darmian learns his "philosophy"!

    jaysus I dont know now.....mata 8.5 depay 8.5 BUT young has an assist almost a goal and has been BY FAR the most involved of the 3.........frees up cash and opens up other possibilities for first few weeks
    almost won a pen as well there
    welcome to my team I'll use the extra 2.5 ml wisely :D

    Di Maria's departure would guarantee him some game time too if another forward does not come in. Interesting option indeed, one for the watchlist. Darmian having a good game too

    that 2.5 ml could turn fab into hazard which would make me more comfortable !
    united look solid enough at the back and darmian will be right back for the season hopefully

    A goal and an assist for Youssuf Mulumbu as Norwich beat FC Augsburg today 2-1. It should interest us in our quest for a 4.5 mid. Seemed to be getting forward a bit from the highlights.

    Wes Hoolahan with the assist and 4.5 Lewis Grabban with the goal, as Cameron Jerome wasn't fit.

    Harry Toffolo started at LB but isn't in the game yet. He likes to get forward a lot. Could be a Matty Targett type option for a week or 2 if Olsson isn't fit in time, though Johnson or Brady if signed could fill the spot too.

    Alex Neil said he'd like to get 3 or 4 more players in this window too. Rickie Lambert is one name being linked.

    Norwich: Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin (c), Bassong, Toffolo; Tettey, Mulumbu; Redmond (Howson 61), Hoolahan, Johnson; Grabban
    Subs: Rudd (GK), Turner, Hooper, van Wolfswinkel, Jacob Murphy, Odjidja.

    To be honest I think it was more a way of keeping Valencia motivated during preseason while he decided.

    On this performance, there is no way Valencia is getting a game ahead of Darmian. Been our best defender

    I wouldn't think he'll get forward much in the pl. I'm more leaning towards Fletcher ATM, but will certainly keep and eye on Molumbu.

    The moment when you realise your fpl addiction may be getting out of hand?? It's the one where you're wrecked and heading to bed, but even just for a second contemplate putting on the laptop and watching a full Chelsea preseason friendly on a crappy stream.

    Goodnight people. ;)

    From what I've seen im VERY worried about investing 1/5th of my money in them!
    The lack of striking options has lead me back to costa (and Rooney) and I'm not sure I want him !
    Can't wait to have aguero again :D

    Same before tonight as well Darmian has been very good. It might have been that which caused lvg to bring up Valencia. Much like Jose what he says isn't always just for the media to hear its meant to filter down to the players. I think he knows exactly what his back 5 is but he wants to make sure he has as many options as possible.

    Wijnaldum is apparently flying in pre-season. Could be a cracking option at that price when their fixtures clear up a bit.
