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.

      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.

    8. Jay_
        9 years, 4 months ago

        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.

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

        4. Kaneyonero
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

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

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 4 months ago

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

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

            1. Rich_20
              • 9 Years

              Logical fallacy.

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months 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.

            Success for Watford. Hopefully?

            Amrabat finally off. Embarrassing performance.

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

            Has anyone lolled at triple WAT owners yet? 😀

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

            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

              Say something significant why don't you

                The irony is that I rarely do.

              Take your well reasoned comments elsewhere...

            3. JIM BOB
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 4 months 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....

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

          14. Frank Black
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months 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
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Robertson.

            2. GuyIncognito
              • 16 Years

              Bellerin

              Then invest only little on defenders.

            Defour's delivery is incredible
