Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Chelsea

912 Comments
Share

Sunday treats us to two more Gameweek 25 matches as Burnley entertain Chelsea in the early 1.30pm kick-off.

The Clarets may well offer stubborn resistance to the league leaders today. Sean Dyche’s men are no pushovers in front of their own fans, with just a single goal conceded in the last four at Turf Moor.

Yet that fine home record clearly hasn’t deterred those holding Chelsea’s main men.

Handed the armband by 10.9% and 4.9% FPL managers respectively, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are amongst the top six captained players for this round of fixtures.

Faith in Marcos Alonso is also on the rise – he was subject to over 111,000 transfers in after netting for the fourth time this season in last week’s win over Arsenal. The Spaniard continues to offer a steady stream of points at both ends of the pitch, producing a goal, assist or clean sheet in 15 of his 18 starts under Antonio Conte.

Subsequently, Clarets stopper Tom Heaton – the top scoring keeper in FPL – has been named as a sub by 403,000+ managers this week, he third most benched player in the Gameweek.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Wow you need a serious cast to stop that knee from jerking, bro 🙁

      Unlucky, but seriously why sell Sanchez prior to Hull home? I didn't captain him (more fool me) but that seems a bit mad. Don't mean to be unkind but... what were you expecting!?

          Wow, ok well I hope you learnt from the experience mate - I'm sure I did it earlier on when I started playing FPL. Know how gutting it can be, but you have to step back and really think about it rather than jumping on all bandwagons (cf. Gundogan wagon) cos otherwise, as you've just found out, you can shoot yourself in the foot!

              Yeah - we all feel that mate, trust me. Everyone gets that feeling when we miss out. But remember it's a marathon, not a sprint - you're very, very unlikely to get the 4 goal performance again, nor will you get retrospectively awarded 21 points by getting Kaku in.

              I tend to wait until later on in the week to make my changes. Early in the season we're ok doing knee jerks as a lot of team value is created by getting performers in early. However, you have to look at the fixtures too, especially for big players like Sanchez who are the key source of goals for their sides.

              Try to hold firm from now til the end of the season and make your transfers with the head not the emotions 🙂
