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.

    The relationship this site has with Capoue is so bizarre. Self loathing, schadenfreude, the full package of insecurity over a cheap midfielder who has scored pretty well.

      it's quite comical

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      On my bench and that's where he will stay until I decide to cash in

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sold him on WC once he rose enough to make me 0.3m.. No brainer decision, imo.

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Got greedy - thought he'd ride more 🙂 will never leave my bench though

  2. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Right...that ighalo punt failed....I think I need to just forget last season's glory, fixtures look great still but so do rashfords... struggling not to knee jerk...

  3. RÏÉ BY

    9 years, 5 months ago

    well it was a choice between antonio & capoue.. didn't really matter in the end

  4. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lol @ lolabas

  5. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Heaton top scoring goalkeeper so far

    Season keeper ?

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Either him or foster for me.

    2. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes.

  6. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Deeney > Rashford for Free?

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wtf...

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Why wtf?

        1. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Control the knees

          1. Dirty Harry
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Did Deeney look threatening at all?

  7. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Erbody be like "If Capoue isn't fourth mid quality then what is"

    I be like " I'll stick with him as a 5th mid thank you very much"

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Honestly only 1 of my mids got more than 2 points so Capoue isn't that bad

  8. boc610
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    so now capoue will be benched in droves next game and score big.

  9. niko mate
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Double Watford attack fail, but I love how the leader of one of my minileagues has captained Pereira when he also has Aguero and other good players.

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He's not genuine competition then!

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      My league leader captained Ighalo over De Bruyne, Sanchez. Don't know how he is leading!

    3. Hendomania
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      And that is why I'll be using OAO as a differencial

  10. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Benched Heaton for Pickford as wanted to cheer on Deeney. Anyone else ever fall into this trap??

    1. KingZZ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes I did

    2. RÏÉ BY
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      all the time (& that's why i try to not have anU players)

    3. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I started Deeney & Heaton.

      Turned out ok...

    4. GE
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Me too

  11. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Deeney--Defoe or Rashford

    1. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Rash

      1. RÏÉ BY
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

  13. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So, a paltry 25 clean sheets from a possible 120. How many have you nabbed?

    6 here (all in the 1st 3 GWs, none since).

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I don't know but one thing I know is my 5 defenders got me 2 points this week

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only 4 😮

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Four here. Two double West Brom cleanies are my only ones this season. And I sold them both on my wild card last week.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah 3 of mine from WBA. Sold Evans/ Foster on WC too

    4. rainy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Six here as well. What a season when that feels massively lucky

    5. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only 4

    6. Still Unsure
        9 years, 5 months ago

        6 here too. 2x wk2, 2x wk3, wk4 and wk6

    7. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Perfect result tonight

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed.

    8. Spg76
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Somebody on here captained Ighalo. What a gamble????

      His stats before this game were 1 yellow card, 1 goal, 1 assist and 4 shots on target. I don't even think he's nailed on anymore

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        My ML leader 😀

    9. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      4th mid indeed ...

    10. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Why are people trying to ditch Deeney? Liverpool didn't score here.

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yet some here want to convince us that Sanchez is a better captain pick than Ibra just to justify selling him.

        1. ktk_interista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Burnley conceded just 1 in 3 home games and defensive stats are ok. They don't concede many chances.

      2. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Good point. Burnley have conceded 5 goals in 17 games at home

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Is this a score check? If so, no thanks as I had a bang average GW.

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          average weeks are ok its the bad ones that sicken

    12. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Well that...

      Was ****ing dreadful

      (Heaton lost on Wildcard, Deeney and Holebas for 2)

    13. SKENG
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      By how much did average go up tonight?

            Thanks

          2. Hendomania
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            where did you get the 3,3 after autosubs stat?

      2. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        3 at best I would guess

      3. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Not much I'd imagine unless a whole bunch had Heaton starting

    14. Still Unsure
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Heaton 7 points and a Capoue blank (non owner). Nice end to the week.

      • Rains of Castamere
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        People bemoaning Capoue. There's still no better enabler if you want Alexis, Ibra and Kun.

        1. Slam
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Enables Kun/Ibra/Kaku/Sanchez for me

        2. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Unless you bought him at 5.0

      • Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Baines, Shaw and Collins all unexpectedly didn't play, changed (c) from Aguero to Ibrahimovic and swapped my goalie from Heaton to Pickford both Saturday morning......absolute GW to forget!!!

        1. ChristoBisto
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          That is the rough! Collins was on the cards although it hasn't helped West ham him being dropped.

      • how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        a) Haz + Ozil
        b) Sanchez + Coutinho (-4)

        Price changes aside I wonder if I might be better sticking.

      • BadgersBoys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Trollpoue, Captroll, Trolloue......... Nah, doesn't work.

      • TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Top 10K up 3.3, overall 4.1 after autosubs. 4 points tonight so little movement.

        1. BadgersBoys
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          That'll do.

      • Mo Salah No Mane
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        The one time I actually decide to start Capoue lol. Anyway he was always selected as an enabler so can't complain I guess 🙂

      • boogle
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Is there no site for checking BPS anymore? Any chance of a cheeky point for Heaton?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          6 bps away.

        2. Still Unsure
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Don't think so. Doesn't look like it on the fpl site, though.

        3. John wick

          Armband for gw7

          A. Sanchez
          B. Aguero
          C. Costa
          D. Ibra

          Have all four? Plss suggest
