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.

    I'm not watching the game. Every time I refresh I dread to see Burnley goal posts.

      Look down the other end.

    2. Nomar
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I think you're reasonably safe to look, mate.

  2. Pedram

    I can confirm WBA is going to concede.

    1. Debauchy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Thank you El - You normally correct ?

    2. Holmes
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Trying to jinx so that they dont concede 😉

  3. Would an idiot do that?
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Penalty shout

  4. Randy_Marsh
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Peno blatant

  5. laGan1n1
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Wisdom has vision

  6. Fantasy Gold
    12 years, 1 month ago

    I can confirm that Burnley will not score today.

    1. Debauchy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Not often - But must agree Grim

      1. Fantasy Gold
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Wahey 🙂

    Moreno-PvA-Moore-Naylor-Clyne... Will need to play 5-3-2 this coming GW or risk losing points on the bench

    1. Podge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Points on the bench are better than none on the bench

      1. rickardinho
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly. When will people learn this

      2. Billy Gilmore
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Not if it's at the expense of points on the pitch.

    2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd bench Naylor and/or Clyne.

    3. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Or just man up and make an educated decision

      1. La Roja
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Jeez what's the point with that?

  9. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Repost, Lukaku or Pelle in for Rooney?

    1. Whazza
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Can I ask why you would consider Lukaku?

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Proven goal scorer, fixtures coming good after next week...

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 1 month ago

          No form. Pelle has excellent fixtures. Pelle is dominating a lot of the striker charts.

          1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
            12 years, 1 month ago

            No form? No form would be Falcoa and Ade.

  10. rickardinho

    Never thought I'd be this excited to see West Brom keep a CS against Burnley... What has my life become?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      12 years, 1 month ago

      lol. It's such a crap Sunday game the only way to take any enjoyment is via a CS

    2. Pedram
      12 years, 1 month ago

      😀

    3. Podge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I know. sort of match I wouldnt even have looked at the result a few years back, when I had a life 🙂

    4. Debauchy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      1. Debauchy
        12 years, 1 month ago

  11. Randy_Marsh
    12 years, 1 month ago

    C'mon one mire goal WBA m rival doubled up on their defence the nutter

  12. Would an idiot do that?
    12 years, 1 month ago

    When people talk about their H2H what does that mean?
    Head to head obviously but is it part of a game?

    1. Podge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Some leagues(HTH) are 1 on 1 matches between those in the league weekly.

      1. Podge
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Sometimes a bad score gets lucky against a worse score an sometimes a big score gets beaten, it's good craic.

      2. Would an idiot do that?
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Ah good to know, cheers

    2. Barry Woj
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Instead of total score being used to sort league position, the scores are generated in a league format where your team's score goes up against another team's (in your league) and you get 3 pts for a win, 1 pt for a draw, 0 pts for a loss.

      1. Would an idiot do that?
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Need to get in one of these next season, could get very interesting

  13. Optimus.
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Burnley haven't scored since the 18th of August and that was against Chelsea 😮

  14. Twelve years a slave
    12 years, 1 month ago

    So this is the great Burnley defence you all talked about

    Blog updated replacements for rooney

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Does it include Pelle? 😉

      1. Optimus.
        12 years, 1 month ago

        If it doesn't I'm getting him! 😀

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      12 years, 1 month ago

      3 cs in 3 games before this so was pretty good

      12 years, 1 month ago

      If you were getting one just for this week (before WC next week), who would it be?

    3. Debauchy
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Turning point this game , when WBA put 3 in

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 1 month ago

      They have as many CSs as any one else even after today. For cheap defenders I think that's a fair return.

    5. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      nice post... wait and see is indeed the right approach...

      Looking forward, after a very poor GW, I'm stuck with 5 good defensive options... I may bench Welbeck and play 4-4-2, but it still leaves one of the below players out

      Moreno-PvA-Moore-Naylor-Clyne...

      Which one?

  15. Holmes
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Arfield goal incoming...

  16. Back on the horse
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Come on WBA, I've got 2 CS's riding on this...

    1. La Roja
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Lol

    2. Randy_Marsh
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Wow you got 22 so far today, serious lol

    3. laGan1n1
      12 years, 1 month ago

      you have Berahino too ? 😀

      1. Back on the horse
        12 years, 1 month ago

        of course, he was almost guaranteed a brace today, wasn't he? 🙂

        1. laGan1n1
          12 years, 1 month ago

          congrats 😀

        2. Rupert The Horse

  21. mitro

  22. - DC -
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Chadli becoming a popular pick...

    Why?

    1. SW6
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Sort midfielders by total points.

      1. - DC -
        12 years, 1 month ago

        But is he playing really well?

        Spurs fans?

        1. Billy Gilmore
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Was basically playing CF yesterday.

        2. Kerrazy
          12 years, 1 month ago

          He'll be our top scorer i believe, way above adebayor(sluggish) & soldado(didnt find his epl scoring boot yet)

    2. Optimus.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Highest scoring midfielder

  23. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Why not Wisdom? 😐

  24. Fray Bentos
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Dier & Ramsey to baines and tadic? No hit, look good?

    1. Nomar
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Can't go wrong with Baines and Ramsey is injured, so can't really diss up those moves.

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    12 years, 1 month ago

    argh why did Pocognoli have to pick up a knock...inevitable consolation now.

  28. LewanGOALski
