The Gameweek continues with a tussle that has all the credentials of a fixture that Match of the Day would schedule last as Burnley make the trip to the Hawthorns to face West Brom.

The majority of Fantasy managers look set for an afternoon off, then, treated to 90 minutes with little at stake and a potential scouting mission of the budget market.

Burnley, with just a single league goal and three consecutive clean sheets, will come under the microscope. With bargain buys back-to-front, we’ll be assessing their suitability as their schedule eases over the month ahead.

As for West Brom, they are notoriously a no-go zone for Fantasy managers: Alan Irvine’s “revolution” currently boasts little to interest us, bar an array of low-to-mid price differentials that only the brave would consider. Will today’s encounter change that outlook?

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    A 4-4 would be nice.

      Duff hattrick? Yeah I suppose I'd take that

  2. Reeker

    • 12 Years

    Lets go Foster!!

  3. davies

    Who to captain next week?

    A) Aguero (avl)
    B) Costa (ARS)
    C) Sterling (WBA)

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      A

  4. clarke1991

    Been toying with WC ideas for a few weeks

    whats peoples opinion on this should i WC??? just done Rooney to Pelle FT

    Begovic/Krul

    Kelly/Chester/Chambers/PVA/Clyne

    Siggy/Fab/Ramsey/Tadic/Sterling

    Costa/Pelle/Bojan

    1. Reed_Rothchild
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      If you are going to WC, you'll have to find a way to get Baines.

    2. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Getting rid of Bojan and Ramsey are priorities.

      1. clarke1991
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        been trying to get rid of bojan for ages ive lost 0.4 on him now but never wanted to take a hit on him

    3. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Joking? Bojan on a WC team? You must be planning on always playing 5 MF

      1. clarke1991
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        that is my current team.

        questioning whether to wildcard that

  5. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    And people were ticked off that Wilmots put Chadlii in against Argentina as opposed to Januzai.

  6. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Has Wisdom shown any attacking potential so far this season? (Up for corners, overlapping etc)

  7. xtina
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Who to get in for Ramsey?? Already have Siggy, Di Maria, Sterling (& Davis). 3.5m in bank

    1. Calibri Is The Best Fonte
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      fabregas/tadic imo

  8. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…

    Bollloxxxxx.

    Only people without life's will be able to win UfPl... Missed the deadline again

    1. Gigging Order
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, so true.

      I missed it last week, set an alarm today, just to transfer Wisdom in!!

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Had to take my eldest to one of his hobbies and just got back.... Hoping Duff gets sent off... Just noticed marney isn't playing anyway..... Have trippier in TFF so want something from him

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      +1

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Missed GW3 Sunday deadline so that put paid to my challenge quite early. Played a blinder last week (5th for the GW!) but it won't do any good I'm afraid.

  9. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    If you couldn't afford Tadic unless you made a hit, is Mane a viable option?

    1. Gigging Order
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yep. 100% shots accuracy in first game, he has potential

    3. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      In which case, Rooney + Ramsey > Aguero + Mane for free is a good choice?

  10. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    So much for 2 clean sheets! 😆

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      you're weird

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Ha

      2. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks! 🙂

  11. Reed_Rothchild

    Anyone think DeAndre Yedlin will start for Spurs when he arrives in January? Loved watching him get forward against Portugal and Belgium for the US team in the WC.

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Great take Foster. That count as a save?

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Depends if FPL Towers boss owns him.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years

  13. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Rooney! Ramsey replacements;

    A) Welbeck & Di Maria

    B) Aguero & Chadli

    Other strikers Costa & Pelle

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      a

  14. Calibri Is The Best Fonte
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Guys do you think it is worth a -4 for falcao > Aguero? Or am I just being very jerky? Have 2mil ITB and don't like it sitting there for a gameweek

    1. Go Loons
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Not worth it for a -4. There is nothing wrong with saving the money and doing the transfer next week if no other issues come up for you.

  15. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Ben F. We need you to come through.

  16. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Wisdom getting very far forward. I'm going to watch him like a hawk this game.

  17. kinglourenco
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Replacing Rooney and Ramsey. What would you suggest?

    A) Aguero + Tadic

    B) Pelle + ADM ( leaves 2mil in the bank)

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      B

  18. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    I remember the legendary penalty taking defender for Burnley that last time they were in the EPL, Graham Alexander. Wasn't he like 40 years old?

  19. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Duff accumulating the baps left,right and centre 🙂

  20. - DC -
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    I have 2 free transfers.

    So

    A) Ramsey + Balotelli to Adam Johnson & Aguero

    or

    B) Ramsey + Puncheon to di Maria & Boyd

  21. radawson
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    On my WC, it's come down to:

    A) Ivanovic, ADM and Pelle

    or

    B) Lovren, Tadic, Aguero

    Quite keen on a Liverpool defender due to their amazing run of fixtures.

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. - DC -
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Forget fixtures. We are completely inept at the back.

  22. Demel
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Is it a bit quoted here than normal because...

    A) The Ryder Cup is on
    B) The only live game is West From v Burnley
    C) The sun is shining
    D) New Fifa is out

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Mannone, 4m
    Clyne, Chambers, Taylor, Moore, Wisdom
    Sterling, Fab, Di Maria, Siggy, Boyd
    Aguero, Costa, Pelle

    0.3m in the bank

    Why is it that people are going for Chadli?

    Am I missing something?

    Is he playing really well?

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Joint highest Scoring midfielder at only 6.2m.

      Short of him wearing flourescent underpants, what else can he do for you to notice him?

  30. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    No Fab in the comparison tool

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      nvm found him
