Burnley and Watford go head-to-head at Turf Moor this evening in the final fixture of Gameweek 6.

For many Fantasy managers, this match will be the first time Etienne Capoue has been afforded a place in their starting XIs after netting four times in the opening five.

Now up to 5.1 in Fantasy Premier League and sitting in 40% of sides, Capoue heads a host of Hornets options looking to catch the eye as the fixtures turn kind for Walter Mazzarri’s men.

The likes of Roberto Pereyra – with attacking points in all three appearances – Odion Ighalo, Troy Deeney and Jose Holebas will also be closely monitored as the fixtures now fall in Watford’s favour.

The hosts are without the suspended Andre Gray for the next four, with Sean Dyche relying on Steven Defour and Sam Vokes – the only other Burnley players to score this season – to breach Mazzarri’s rearguard.

Tom Heaton has earned at least one save point in four of his first five and looks set to be kept busy as the visitors attempt to build on the back of successive wins over West Ham and Man United.

    Wow playing Capoue is so fun. I've really been missing out.

    Burnley don't look like they will be a pushover at the weekend, look resilient here and have already beaten Liverpool at home this season.

      If they see this out it will be a nice confidence boosting win for them.

      Haha just like you beg it from triggerlips but he hasnt resonded to you once. I doubt he has even read any of your posts you so blatantly aim at him to get his attention.

      Just stick to impressing J 😉

        I have no doubt in my mind that he doesn't read them, he's the sort that only reads his own.

        You hang off every comment though and reply to them so it's half a win, some skill to do that and hang out of the back of your idol at the same time.

    This red hot to stone cold form in a week span for many teams is really annoying for FPL.
    You can never know which version of a team is going to show up.

    Heard you benched Heaton for Jordan Pickford

  7. That Was Easy!
    10 years, 22 days ago

    I still don't see many bettter options than Holebas at 4.5 as far as attacking returns. Game won't go like this every week.

    Was level on points with my mate in our ML before tonight, both got Capoue, I had Holebas, was bragging that I'll be top tonight at 7pm.

    1. Fred54
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Still plenty of time for a second YC....

  9. Gunner77-

  10. PvA

    Bet people wish Holebas didn't start now

    1. Heavy Data

      Are you stuck on repeat?

      1. Fred54

        OMG

  12. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…

    vokes with another terrible run

  13. Revival

    Had 2 left to play today, Holebas and Capoue. Was thinking worst case that's 4 points, be lucky to get even 2 now!

  14. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Vokes om yokes

  15. ManofKent

    Capoue hat-trick with Holebas assists to finish the last 30 mins?

    1. Jay_
      10 years, 22 days ago

      No more cards between them and not conceding 4 will be a result.

      My expectations are at the Jay level

  16. Arceus

    Watford beat Utd.
    Burnley beat Watford.
    So Burnley beats Utd?

    1. Rich_20
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Logical fallacy.

    2. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      10 years, 22 days ago

      yeah. that is totally how football works.

    3. mbglo
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Yes, in Sweden we call this "GAIS-matte"

  17. Kante Be Bothered
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Who thought it would be a good idea to play Capoue 🙁

  18. PvA
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Don't forget West Ham were beating Watford 2-0 in their home stadium

    You don't need me to remind you how that ended

      Burnley much more solid though.

  19. Royal5
    10 years, 22 days ago

    The hate is strong on here tonight

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Over a 4.5m def. Hilarious

      it's new and improved toxic FFS courtesy of the OfficialFPL twitter notoriety

  20. Pedram
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Suddenly you want to get rid of your Watford assets, story of this season

    1. nobwak
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Story of this site. So funny.

  21. Arceus
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Success for Watford. Hopefully?

  22. Lyonnais
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Amrabat finally off. Embarrassing performance.

  23. Postman Ty
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Heaton hasn't got nearly enough saves since I picked him up, really need the cleanie.

  24. Chucky
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Has anyone lolled at triple WAT owners yet? 😀

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Why would anyone triple up on Watford? It's still Watford.

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Win some, lose some. Just how it goes...

    3. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Over half an hour to go, too early to lol at anyone who is still on the pitch 😉

  25. Heels_Over_Head

    Love this game

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Watford second to everything

  27. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
    10 years, 22 days ago

    I'm a big fan of this site but the number of highly reactionary comments after one bad game does grate sometimes. These are mid table teams, you can't expect returns every game. It's disappointing but it's life.

    1. Ha.
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Say something significant why don't you

      1. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
        10 years, 22 days ago

        The irony is that I rarely do.

    2. Fred54
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Take your well reasoned comments elsewhere...

    3. JIM BOB
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Precisely.

      Buying a defender from a mid table team who was out of favour last season for not being able to defend, is not the recipe for regular clean sheets.

      Attacking returns are going to have to be the hope....

    4. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 22 days ago

      There are such people in all walks of life. New Twitter notoriety has just attracted a high proportion here.

  28. Frank Black
    10 years, 22 days ago

    There are seriously no good defenders to invest in, mostly from a fixtures point of view but in the case of Watford and maybe Hull from a quality point of view too. It's frustrating.

    1. JIM BOB
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Robertson.

    2. GuyIncognito
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Bellerin

    3. AdamB
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Then invest only little on defenders.

  29. GENERATION X

    holebas surges back to zero

    Defour's delivery is incredible
