Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Chelsea

Sunday treats us to two more Gameweek 25 matches as Burnley entertain Chelsea in the early 1.30pm kick-off.

The Clarets may well offer stubborn resistance to the league leaders today. Sean Dyche’s men are no pushovers in front of their own fans, with just a single goal conceded in the last four at Turf Moor.

Yet that fine home record clearly hasn’t deterred those holding Chelsea’s main men.

Handed the armband by 10.9% and 4.9% FPL managers respectively, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are amongst the top six captained players for this round of fixtures.

Faith in Marcos Alonso is also on the rise – he was subject to over 111,000 transfers in after netting for the fourth time this season in last week’s win over Arsenal. The Spaniard continues to offer a steady stream of points at both ends of the pitch, producing a goal, assist or clean sheet in 15 of his 18 starts under Antonio Conte.

Subsequently, Clarets stopper Tom Heaton – the top scoring keeper in FPL – has been named as a sub by 403,000+ managers this week, he third most benched player in the Gameweek.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Disclaimer : Foster owner.

    Who counts saves and how are they defined?
    Foster is down as having made 2 saves in his game yesterday.
    I just finished watching The W.Brom/W.Ham game on MOTD. In this highlights only section, he clearly makes three.
    First half, he turns a Snodgrass freekick around the post
    Second half he saves the initial Lanzini shot for the Westham goal. He pushes it on to the bar and the rebound is knocked in.
    74th minute he makes a very good save from Calleri.

    Obviously I’d like my point that those three saves would have gotten me, but I am genuinely more interested in why one of them is not classed as a save and what makes a save a save.

    If someone takes a shot from 40 yards that is half blocked and ends up dribbling into the keepers hands, is that a save? Even if it would have made it over the line if the keeper wasn’t there?

    Any ideas?
