Norwich City-C+

For Norwich this season is all about finding a way to stay in the Premier League. Everything they do should be with that goal expressly in mind. So far so good because they’re sitting in the 15th spot and are, more importantly, four points clear of relegation at the moment. For a team that isn’t exactly blessed with overwhelming talent that’s a pretty solid start.

Much of their success can be attributed to their two best attacking players: Nathan Redmond and Robbie Brady. They’ve graded out as the side’s best players per Whoscored.com and their play passes the eye test as well. They’ve had just enough offensive creativity to keep Norwich out of trouble this year and that gives them a slightly above average grade. Look for their performance to hinge on those two players all season long.
