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.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Look down the other end.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

  2. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I can confirm WBA is going to concede.

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Thank you El - You normally correct ?

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Trying to jinx so that they dont concede 😉

  3. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Penalty shout

  4. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Peno blatant

  5. laGan1n1
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Wisdom has vision

  6. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I can confirm that Burnley will not score today.

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not often - But must agree Grim

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Wahey 🙂

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

    • elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

        Points on the bench are better than none on the bench

        1. rickardinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Exactly. When will people learn this

        2. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

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

      2. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I'd bench Naylor and/or Clyne.

      3. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Or just man up and make an educated decision

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Jeez what's the point with that?

    • Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Repost, Lukaku or Pelle in for Rooney?

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Pelle

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Can I ask why you would consider Lukaku?

        1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

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

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

              No form? No form would be Falcoa and Ade.

    • rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 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
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

        😀

      3. Podge
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

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

      5. laGan1n1
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        same xD

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Lets hold hands for the last 10 min. !

    • Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

    • Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

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

        1. Podge
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

          Ah good to know, cheers

      2. Barry Woj

        11 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

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

    • Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

    • Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      So this is the great Burnley defence you all talked about

      Blog updated replacements for rooney

      1. rickardinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Does it include Pelle? 😉

        1. Optimus.
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

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

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        3 cs in 3 games before this so was pretty good

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

        Turning point this game , when WBA put 3 in

      4. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 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
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 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?

    • Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Arfield goal incoming...

    • Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Lol

      2. Randy_Marsh
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Wow you got 22 so far today, serious lol

      3. laGan1n1
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        1. Back on the horse
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

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

          1. laGan1n1

            11 years, 5 months ago

    • mitro
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      wrong player

    • - DC -
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Chadli becoming a popular pick...

      Why?

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Sort midfielders by total points.

        1. - DC -
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          But is he playing really well?

          Spurs fans?

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Was basically playing CF yesterday.

          2. Kerrazy
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

        Highest scoring midfielder

    • Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Why not Wisdom? 😐

    • Fray Bentos
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

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

    • LewanGOALski
