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.

    Berahino will score another and then he is the new Ulloa

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Not foreign, and doesn't have a big real life price tag.

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

        Is he English? Saido is his first name.

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Yep. Been ripping it up for the u21s.

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

            Nice, why doesn't he have a big price tag then? Big potential.

              • 12 Years
              11 years, 6 months ago

              Hasn't really performed for WBA yet. Didn't get many goals last season. If he can stay in the team, he has the potential to kick on this season though.

              Also last season, got involved in a bit of controversy, you may remember:

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Ulloa was the new Berahino. He's been scoring goals for 2 seasons now.

    Sterling to be rested against Basel?

    "We certainly have to be aware of it," Rodgers said. "It’s easy just to turn around and say ‘he is 19 and can play every day of the week’. But it doesn’t work like that."

    "There will be periods when they need to rest. And, of course, when you give them the rest because you are planning ahead, you get accused of picking the wrong team."

    "He is a big talent. The key is to try and nurture it, while also understanding the best players want to play in the games. And he will certainly have enough games this season."

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

      Oh no. When is that quote from?

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

        Oh, you said Basel. Grand. Carry on.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Hopefully hodgson doesn't play him against San Marino the mong.

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      More worried about the weekend, given the Ludogorets game, Basel might be tougher. Tougher than WBA at Anfield methinks...

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        After the weekend its internationals, should be safe for WBA

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

          Thought it was Basel vs Pool October 1st and West Brom October 4th followed by the Int break?

          1. Mílanista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            That's what I mean, BR won't care if he shows up to England duty tired.

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

              Ah I see what you're saying, I'm more worried he will genuinely be too tired to start at WBA. Not liking how BR keeps stressing his need for rest.

    4. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Honestly he should be. He should be 30 minute max sub after the minutes he's just played. He needs a rest, they absolutely need to get three points in their next Prem game.

    5. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Full game vs Basel. 70 vs WBA.

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

      Rested against San Marino would be ideal.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        This but Hodgson is a disease

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Fake knock incoming.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            Hopefully. Couldn't care less about RH and his broken England "team"

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 6 months ago

              Yep. 7 point through 6 games is just awful for Liverpool.

              1. Davido989
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 6 months ago

                It's worrying to say the least. Still only 3pts off 4th

                1. Walsh
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 6 months ago

                  Still not good.

        2. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Hodgson's Lymphoma? 😉

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

            🙂

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

        England will need their best team.

    7. Deyanski
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      He would be rested after playing 60min against Basel, yea.

    8. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Good news for next weekend

  3. Nawton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    How likely is Chester to start next week, fellas?

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      0.

      1. Kerz
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Not even a slim chance after conceding 4? 🙁

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          They're at home, so should stick with a back 4 if you ask me.

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

      33%.. they have conceded a lot recently with him on the bench

      1. Nawton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Hmmm... considering Chester to Naylor.

  4. BlueIncognito
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Rooney, Rose --> Aguero, Naylor for a -4? Yay or nay?

    1. Nasri Loves Kompany
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Aye

  5. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Afternoon all,

    Afternoon,

    Thoughts on this during half time. Tadic has been very impressive after seeing him play! Thing is I already have 3 Soton players.

    Which would you lose (if any) to get him in?

    A) Forster

    B) Clyne

    C) Pelle

    D) None

    1. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Forster, better keeper options

      1. Del Griffith
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        such as?

        I go D

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      D

    3. Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      D

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      D - Not worth a transfer

  6. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Zaha is stinking on my bench. Is Boyd the best 5th MF pick?

    1. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Looks like it

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. 🙂

    2. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Cheap and cheerful

  7. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Burnley look doomed already. Not good enough for this level.

    Anyway, Ramsey and Rooney, to who?

    1. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero and Tadic

      1. Owd Big 'Ed
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I'm 0.1 away unfortunately. Any other ideas?

        1. BlueIncognito
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Pelle and Silva?

        2. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Tadic and Sturridge?

          1. Sess!
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            This.....I think Sturridge a better option than Aguero anyway.

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I'm considering welbeck and ADM

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

        this for me too

      2. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Welbz "air guitar"

      3. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I went welbeck on WC. Was really disappointed with him y'day. Hopefully was just a one off.

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

      I did ADM & Pelle

    4. PB-THE-VET
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero and a mid of hr choice

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

    This is brilliant. A defender that most people got for 4m and has just come off the back of 3 straight clean sheets is now a waste of time. Fine, get rid of Duff or don't buy him, go and get someone with better value.

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      you know how these boards are...don't let it get to you

    2. Deyanski
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Suddenly Wisdom is turning back as an option for 4.0m 🙂

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      That's exactly the point - his time is up . Timing

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

        Timing? Time is now. So they are having a bad away game, so what? Next 10 fixtures are ideal.

        1. Randy_Marsh
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Exactly WBA playing really well today IMO.

    4. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      It was either Moore or duff for me on WC. Still think I made right call.

    5. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      You have 5 defenders, duff will be useful. People are mad to play Burnley defenders away from home. Rotate rotate, my rival doubled up on the Burnley defence this week. I hope WBA put another 2 last them cause it's just reckless making decisions like that

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

        Of course. That's why I benched him. And how many clean sheets do you expect from a4m def? 3 so far is outstanding.

  9. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Would you rather have Heaton or Mannone?

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Mannone for sure

    2. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Mannone, looking to bring in new keepers when I can but Shrek ruined that

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

      Don Vito

    4. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Heaton for home games, not sure about away though

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

      Funny how if you asked that 45 min ago you would have had a different answer.

      lol

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

        Not from me.

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

          Aah, but you my friend is the most intelligent FPL int he world.

          Triggerlips mkII.

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years

      Winter's coming, you'll need the Heat on.

    7. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Vito is great. Our fixtures are not.

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

        * This

    8. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Neither.
      Sunderlands fixtures take a turn for the worse soon

    9. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Both I'm rotating them

      1. Randy_Marsh
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Apologies rotating Forster, Manonne

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          But they don't rotate......at al.

  10. Hammers Select
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Will Rooney drop tonight?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      What do you hope to gain from us all when you ask something like this? You know the price change functions are broken. Getting so tired of seeing this rubbish.

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

      His trousers might if he spots a granny.

      1. BlueIncognito
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        This gave me a good laugh

    3. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      its possible but nobody really knows

  11. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    There is no chance for Foster to get some save points 🙁

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      So sorry the clean sheet will have to do.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I am jinx,so he will even concede 🙁

    2. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Haha my thoughts exactly

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

      Hopefully get an assist in the second half.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Is there windy in Birmingham? 😀 One goal would be lovely 😀

  12. Edmond
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Okay off to bed, looking forward to Wisdom's 6 pts tomorrow when I wake up 😉

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Nightmares imminent 😉

  13. Nasri Loves Kompany
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Tadic and Fabregas or Chadli and ADM?

    1. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      1st

  14. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Shouldn't Wisdom be flagged in Fpl?I presume he won't be playing v his parent club?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      After the game if that's the case.

      1. Optimus.
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Ah right

      2. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Is it the case?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          He's on loan so yes.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      True.....good call. No one will be playing him anyway.

    3. PB-THE-VET
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      People will transfer him out thinking he was dropped. 🙁

  15. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    If u watch WBA-Burnley u will think WBA is actually good team, but u'll be wrong a lot 🙂

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I am watching but am not thinking that

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        They look pretty solid, but that's just because it's Burnley. Norwich,Forest,Derby,Wigan all deserve it before them.

    2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Shut up you berk.

    3. Jafooli

      😀

    4. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Can only play what's in front of them and it's fairly entertaining considering the drab that's live most weekends

  16. Keno
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    If you are WCing this week what keeper/keeper rotation would be the best?

    1. Sess!

      I went for Forster only. Now thinking Mannone/Guzman might have been better call.

    Burnley in fairness have a lot of injuries.

    Wba are looking decent tho. A better stricker and they could be a mid table team

    Transferwise . . .. . Its all about aguero. People thinking dzeko is his budget equivilent are going to be crying.mu were warned

      Walcott to muddy the water for a few weeks after the break I expect.

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah , confusing . Still think he will turn it on soon.

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        He best had!! 🙁 Had him from the start, still happy with his 2 goals but if he started last 2 he could have more!!

      2. owls on the up
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Thing is didnt he get dropped after that beautiful volley or am i wrong?

    3. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Should turn good but I've lost patience after having him from the start. Will drop in value too.

  20. BlueIncognito
    • 11 Years

    Aguero and Naylor in for a -4?

    1. PB-THE-VET
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

    2. Randy_Marsh

    My fantasy team weeps because of the disaster that is Gameweek 6.

    Yeah, I have two Burnley players (Duff and Heaton) and they've conceded twice now. Oh well...

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

      Hey - don't cry Bro . Im on 26 before this game.
      You did gain some from them previous.

      1. testmat-20210805.8
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I'm on 36. They are my last players for this gameweek. As they say, you can't win 'em all...

    2. Oliver Tockman
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      doubling on on Burnleys defense ...

      1. testmat-20210805.8
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Heh. Looks silly e? But yeah, I just thought the game had 0-0 written all over it. A risky move that is burning me at the moment but heck, there's still the second half!

    Any news on Ramsey? I might have missed any possible update.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely out of the Chels game.

  27. BlueIncognito
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Last chance - should I bring in Aguero AND Naylor for a -4? Or just Aguero?

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

      Just Ageuro - no hit for defender

      1. PB-THE-VET
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Just aguero if u can

        1. BlueIncognito
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I could do just Aguero but if I take the hit, I'll get rid of the disease infesting my team that is Rose and free up funds for Baines next week

    2. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Just Aguero, why take a hit unless you absolutely have to?

      1. BlueIncognito
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I could do without Naylor but he'd rid me of Rose and free up funds for Baines next week
