Burnley and Watford go head-to-head at Turf Moor this evening in the final fixture of Gameweek 6.

For many Fantasy managers, this match will be the first time Etienne Capoue has been afforded a place in their starting XIs after netting four times in the opening five.

Now up to 5.1 in Fantasy Premier League and sitting in 40% of sides, Capoue heads a host of Hornets options looking to catch the eye as the fixtures turn kind for Walter Mazzarri’s men.

The likes of Roberto Pereyra – with attacking points in all three appearances – Odion Ighalo, Troy Deeney and Jose Holebas will also be closely monitored as the fixtures now fall in Watford’s favour.

The hosts are without the suspended Andre Gray for the next four, with Sean Dyche relying on Steven Defour and Sam Vokes – the only other Burnley players to score this season – to breach Mazzarri’s rearguard.

Tom Heaton has earned at least one save point in four of his first five and looks set to be kept busy as the visitors attempt to build on the back of successive wins over West Ham and Man United.

    Totally had it with Capoue.

    I thought he was on course for a 30 goal season?

    What happened?

    1. Taffer
      10 years, 22 days ago

      yeah wtf

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      10 years, 22 days ago

      no involvement and was shocking

    3. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 22 days ago

      30 goals.. Really??

      1. Taffer
        10 years, 22 days ago

        yes really

        1. BadgersBoys
          10 years, 22 days ago

          Pfft.

          1. Chris_White
            10 years, 22 days ago

            Oh dear

        he is being satirical.

      For just 4.5m, i'd be happy with a goal every 5 or 6 games.

      1. BadgersBoys
        10 years, 22 days ago

        My thoughts, also. And it's been 1 x game with a tasty looking home fixture coming up. ~30 x goals would be a tad optimistic..

    Why did I sell Heaton on WC? Oh well I reckon Karius will pay off in the long run

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 22 days ago

      With 'pool fixtures, should do

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 22 days ago

        They're so good bar maybe 1 -2 games till GW19 at least

  3. Taffer
    10 years, 22 days ago

    I asked the FPL fairy for a Capoue blank and a Heaton cleanie.

    He duley obliged.

    Feel smug about playing Ozil over Capoue, although tbh, it was a toss up last week given each of their forms.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Played Capoue over Rashford. Derp!

      1. Taffer
        10 years, 22 days ago

        This is dreadful.

    2. RÏɠBY
      10 years, 22 days ago

      flukey ozil goal too 😉

      1. Taffer
        10 years, 22 days ago

        yeah it was lucky, fine margins this game (which is why its important not to get too ecstatic about big wins and big losses)

        1. RÏɠBY
          10 years, 22 days ago

          wise words
          you should have been here earlier while all the capoue owners were setting to put their heads in gas ovens 😉

          1. Taffer
            10 years, 22 days ago

            well it is a 4.5m mid, people act like he's Sanchez or something (or even Ramsey/ Delle Alli).

            You bench 4.5m mids, that's their sole function in FPL.

  4. Karan_G14
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Repost.
    Thoughts on Shaw & Stuani to Holebas & Deeney?

    Was all set on it. But after tonight's game little confused. Holebas already on 4 YCs. Still worth getting in?

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Maybe Adam Smith and Austin?

      1. Karan_G14
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Deeney still looked okay to me. Burnley kept out Liverpool too.

  5. GHB
    10 years, 22 days ago

    AOA chip proving pointless a second year in a row

    1. Third Eye Vision
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Yeah. It adds nothing to the game at all. They should ditch it for a new one. Surely there's a think-tank somewhere that can devise an improvement.

      1. Taffer
        10 years, 22 days ago

        what a great use of the nations brightest minds that would be

        as if the lure of the city wasn't enough a brain drain

      2. GHB
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Glad I'm rid of it, always worried it will actually cost me but feel I have to play it! Came out evens again with it

    2. Hendomania
      10 years, 22 days ago

      AOA seems a pointless exercise, but next week could prove pivotal. Wildcard used and so many defenders in doubt AND a juicy fixture for Capoue (whos sat on my bench every week) - and will on manys next week = differential). Bring it on!!

  6. Third Eye Vision
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Playing Capoue over Defoe went well this week. I keep racking up those bench points.

    Capoue back on the bench for the foreseeable future...

    1. the snazzy viking
      10 years, 22 days ago

      did the opposite. makes me want to cry

      ;-; was going to have such a good week if defoe played, don't forget heaton too

    2. Slam
      10 years, 22 days ago

      That means more points for Capoue?
      Thanks 🙂

      1. Third Eye Vision
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Obviously...

    3. Chris_White
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Capoue goal and Defoe blank incoming!

  7. the snazzy viking
    10 years, 22 days ago

    when you get 24 points on the bench but only 38 points in the overall....

    why did I put 2 dream team of the week players on my bench?

    Defoe - 13 points
    Heaton - 7 points....

    2nd to worst week i've ever played

    1. Taffer
      10 years, 22 days ago

      I've had at least 3 sub-20 point weeks

      Two of them were the first two GW of last season.

      1. the snazzy viking
        10 years, 22 days ago

        this is my first season so i'm just learning from my mistakes and I feel your pain

  8. Guigui
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Austin > Defoe ?

    1. Taffer
      10 years, 22 days ago

      no, austin's on form.

  9. EWH2020
    10 years, 22 days ago

    I have KDB. Downgrade for who? Already have Sanchez

    1. unlethal
      10 years, 22 days ago

      A Liverpool mid if you don't have one already.

  10. tm245
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Sanchez Payet Firmino Capoue in my team, any interesting KDB replacements? Mane and Ozil are my short list so far.

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Sadio Mané is the one.

    2. Chris_White
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Coutinho or Mané

    3. tm245
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Liking these answers, bit of a differential as well. Cheers.

  11. Mayo for Sam
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Best captain:

    A, Sanchez
    B, Kun
    C, Lukaku
    D, Mane

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 22 days ago

      See the poll in the side bar and the captaincy article earlier today.

    2. the snazzy viking
      10 years, 22 days ago

      kun is the obvious choice, but if I were you i'd go for Sanchez, (he's my vice captain this week)

  12. Numb
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Anyone got a perfect Capoue playing / benching record?

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 22 days ago

      No way haha.

    2. Taffer
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Warren Buffett

    3. ramunas
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Me! Well kinda, had him for 3 GWs and played him in all 3, only got 2 pts this week but my benched players (Snoddy, Kone, Amat) only got 2,1 and 0 points respectively, so still made the right choice..

  13. CCaddy
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Can't decide on who to get from these?

    A) coutinho 8.2- best value and seems to be getting more chances this season.

    B) sterling 8.5- great way into man city attack but will they slow down now Europe is kicking in and no kdb.

    C) mane 9.0- most expensive but looks due a massive haul.

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 22 days ago

      A

    2. Taffer
      10 years, 22 days ago

      mane

  14. BbBb
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Surely Pickford (WBA) over Heaton (ARS) this week right?

    1. Chris_White
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Yep

  15. camarozz
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Always happens. I sit down to watch two players I own play on a Monday nite and the do NOTHING.
    Ah well my TV is going thru the roof tonight. 3 risers I believe. Ye better get sterling on asap...

    Big Sam back to Sunderland, then? 🙂

    What a dodgy story. And that last quote, "On Prince Harry:
    “Harry’s a naughty boy. He’s a very naughty boy, very naughty. He shows his bottom and all sorts."

  19. The Big Fella
    10 years, 22 days ago

    I usually don't like doubling up on players BUT I am going to get rid of Cazorla for Lamella as I have just bought Sanchez. I am also going to sell Antonio as I am worried he will be played RB again.

    I had originally planned on bringing in Son as an on-form differential. I am now debating Sterling or Walcott as their fixtures are so appealing compared to Spurs'. I already have Aguero. Thoughts and opinions on a postcard please.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      10 years, 22 days ago

      You are buying Lamela??

      1. The Big Fella
        10 years, 22 days ago

        I am a bellend sorry. I meant Lallana.

      10 years, 22 days ago

      Austin, knowing my luck.

  25. fameasser84
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Is it worth taking -4 hit to swap Cazorla and Hazard for Sanchez & Snoddy? Or status quo then do the swap next week?

    What about Walcott for Cazorla this week then Ozil for Hazard the next?

    Will have 17.6m to spare for 2 mids. Already have sterling, firmino & Antonio. What are the 2 best mids to bring in?
