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.

    1. In Like Flynn.

      Look down the other end.

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

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

  2. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I can confirm WBA is going to concede.

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thank you El - You normally correct ?

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

      Trying to jinx so that they dont concede 😉

  3. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Penalty shout

  4. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Peno blatant

  5. laGan1n1
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Wisdom has vision

  6. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I can confirm that Burnley will not score today.

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not often - But must agree Grim

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Wahey 🙂

  7. Jay_

    Come on Burnley guarantee my H2H don't make me rely on Bego

  8. elkunaguero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Points on the bench are better than none on the bench

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Exactly. When will people learn this

      2. Billy Gilmore
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd bench Naylor and/or Clyne.

    3. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Or just man up and make an educated decision

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Jeez what's the point with that?

  9. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Repost, Lukaku or Pelle in for Rooney?

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Pelle

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Can I ask why you would consider Lukaku?

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

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

          1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            No form? No form would be Falcoa and Ade.

  10. rickardinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    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
      11 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      😀

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months 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
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Lol Rick, Lol . Sitting here praying for the same . At my age , I ask ?

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Lets hold hands for the last 10 min. !

  11. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

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

  12. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months 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?
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Ah good to know, cheers

    2. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months 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?
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

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

  13. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

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

  14. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    So this is the great Burnley defence you all talked about

    Blog updated replacements for rooney

    1. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Does it include Pelle? 😉

      1. Optimus.
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      3 cs in 3 games before this so was pretty good

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Turning point this game , when WBA put 3 in

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months 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
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months 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
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Arfield goal incoming...

  16. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Lol

    2. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Wow you got 22 so far today, serious lol

    3. laGan1n1
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. laGan1n1

  21. mitro

    wrong player

  22. - DC -
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Chadli becoming a popular pick...

    Why?

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sort midfielders by total points.

      1. - DC -
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        But is he playing really well?

        Spurs fans?

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Was basically playing CF yesterday.

        2. Kerrazy
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Highest scoring midfielder

  23. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Why not Wisdom? 😐

  24. Fray Bentos
    • 17 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

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

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
