The Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Burnley

Sunday’s events conclude at St Mary’s as Southampton play host to Sean Dyche’s Burnley.

The Saints will be seeking a fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League, a seventh in a row in all competitions.

Visitors Burnley will need to improve their attacking threat in order to threaten that record. The Clarets have scored just five goals from their seven matches, creating three big chances – the fewest in the Premier Leauge.

The Saints attack has disappointed with just seven goals scored in their seven matches. However, the statistics show that they have the potential to improve on that record in this one: Claude Puel’s side have produced a shot on goal every 4.8 minutes at St Mary’s – only Liverpool have been more threatening in home matches this season.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Austin (13)
    Deeney (2)
    Benteke (-1)

      This is how FPL has always been. Plenty of choices to tempt you and make rash/bad decision. Last season was the real disaster. 6-7 permanent fixtures and you just tweak the weakness in your squad as per the fixtures. This year the temptation is to juggle the big hitters depending on fixtures and that's the real challenge.

      Don't worry about rank too much early in the year. Three good weeks in march/april can have you knocking onnthe door of top 10k from nowhere. There will be weeks where the opposite of GW8 happens & you end up getting 15 points from nowhere etc. all part of the game!!
