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

    Hazard actually looks in the mood, surprising given that's he's playing away at Turf Moor in the snow.

    Ibra owners you holding for Bournemouth or shipping out?

    Kane or Costa are tempting for gw26 (Have Lukaku).

        Think Spurs playing after Europa a factor against Kane?

        Will you get Ibra back for gw27?

          Not keen on spurs atm and I have Alli. I won't be getting him back in for 27. He hasn't scored at home against Watford and Hull. Costa has Swansea at home 26. Struggling to justify Ibra's pricetag atm.

            Fairpoint tho Ibra could have scored yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised if Rashford got a start against Bournemouth too now fixtures are going to be coming thick and fast.

            Also have Alli too so think the logic for Costa makes sense. I don't have Hazard tho so one of them is a must.

              Same, I'm doing Mane and Costa for Ibra and Sanchez. Getting Sanchez back in for gw29.
