Sunday treats us to a pair of Gameweek 4 fixtures, with Burnley hosting Crystal Palace in the early 1.30pm kick off.

After picking up four points in testing trips to Chelsea and Spurs, we’re keeping a keen eye on the Clarets’ budget options ahead of further home encounters against Huddersfield, West Ham, Newcastle and Swansea between now and Gameweek 12.

Such a schedule means that Ben Mee is Burnley’s most popular pick with 8% Fantasy Premier League ownership, though playmaker Robbie Brady and new boy Chris Wood are also on the radar after combining for the late leveler at Wembley last time out.

With no goals and no points after three matches, the Eagles’ disastrous start already has many suggesting that Frank de Boer has one foot through the exit door.

The big surprise is that the cut-price Ruben Loftus-Cheek is nowhere to be seen, despite recovering from a groin problem. Over 349,000 managers benched the on-loan midfielder for Gameweek 4, with 91,000+ selling him on.

And there’s little respite on the horizon for the Selhurst Park outfit, with clashes against both Manchester clubs and Chelsea in the following four.

    No way Palace are going to score. Burnley CS locked in. Lucky Mee owners..

    People slowly warming up to the idea of selling Lukaku now.

    The abuse that I was subjected to when I said the same and did it 2 gws ago....

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Think the criticism was centred around saying it 20 times.

      • GinjaWhinja
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I did it before GW3 too. Feels good.

        Just sucks that the defenders he's playing against seem to all have him in their teams and leave him alone unmarked at times.

      • Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Lukaku is the new Costa a sea of 6's

      • TheTwelfthMan
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He's scored 4 in 4, 58% owned player, it's madness.

      • Henry_555
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Sold him after second gw and cursed my decision when he stepped up to take that spot kick against leicester which eventually ended up pretty good decision... he is a good player and plays in great team which adds to your goal appeal as a striker but I just dont see him worthy that price tag with other options in attack and with great midfield options...I am sticking with kdb,eriksen,kane and pogba for season and simply dont find room for lukaku...don't want to ruin my team becauae of a bully who cant finish one-on-ones and usually needs 10 chances to score single goal

      • Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        4 goals in 4 games....selling him is a poor choice even if he is a troll.

      WC Team:

      Foster
      BDavies Jones Bertrand D. Luiz
      Salah Pogba Atsu
      Morata Kaku Kane

      Subs: Elliot, T Caroll, Cork, Mbemba

      Nex week doing Luiz to Kolasinac

      And then if/when Hazard is on form maybe Salah to Hazard and Morata to Firmino

      Your thoughts will be appreciated 🙂

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years

        With Atsu not starting today I'd be worried if he was my 3rd MF

          • 10 Years

          God no - surely nobody would be that foolish.

        2. HD7
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          So maybe get Ramsey

      2. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Lovely defence. Atsu is the weak link of course but you knew the risk/reward.

        1. HD7
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah maybe upgrade somehow to Ramsey

          WC Team:

          Foster
          BDavies Jones Cedric Naughton
          Salah Pogba Ramsey
          Morata Kaku Kane

          Subs: Elliot, T Caroll, Cork, Mbemba

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I wouldn't get Naughton on wc personally - if he's just a standard RB

          2. Henry_555
            • 11 Years

            Cedric>mee

      Boo to Naughton not being wing back.

    5. DAZZ
      • 11 Years

      Watching this game and im baffled as to why on earth Leicester made a serious bid of 27 million for Andros Townsend. That is outrageous. Even in this day and age, hes worth absolute maximum 10 million. Awful player!

    6. how now brown cow

      Dann close

    7. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years

      Dann so close again

    8. Del Monte

      Only WC this GW and I feel my midfield needs repairing already.

      Why on earth did I think Tadic and Brady were good picks?

      I am better than this!

      Replacements please?

      1. TheOx95
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Brady was one of the strangest bandwagons I've seen on this site. Tadic I can understand, but I'm never getting him in again as he's a complete troll

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          People just wnat someone cheap, Brady fits that and is on set pieces and crap?

          1. TheOx95
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            1 shot on target though. Many better options at that bracket

      2. willl
        • 10 Years

        It's been one week, can't expect a 5.5m to return every week ffs.

      3. A Team Of James McCleans
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Because brady is cheap, on set pieces, important player in the team and will pick up points. He got 8 points last week but if youre expecting big returns every week from any 5.5 youre going to be dissapointed

    9. CloudSky
      • 9 Years

      Butt clenched for us Dann sellers.

    12. Rainer

      FdB should start Dann up top next Saturday and just put Benteke down.

      1. dvdguy
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        If he's still in charge next game

    13. Jay_
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Townsend on for a bap or two

      • HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        damn close by dann

      • Monkey Hanger

        • 9 Years

        Atsu Bertie Tadic Willian Hagazi Ake Taroll Long to WC?

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Sounds like it

        2. TheBusDriver
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Bertie is still a decent pick. You need to sell the rest.

          Defo wildcard

      • CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        How is Tark not top of the baps? He is cleaning everywhere.

      • The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Townsend is actually a decent player - a massive underachiever.

      • how now brown cow

        12th palace corner. Pressure mounting...

        3. nicecat
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Wake Mee up when September ends

      • Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        When are they going to realise that Benteke is entirely pointless when playing alongside wingers who shoot on site rather than pass?

      • Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        50 points behind elader in my mini-league already. Pretty sure some players not evcen playign are now beating me

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago
