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.

      People actually surprised a Burnley mid isn't scoring goals 😆

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years

        It's the first time I watched them all season, Palace are a poor side but they battered Burnley

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years

          Aye, de Boer will get the blame but his players just can't finish worth a damn.

      oh give up, I hear this every week about Dann and still no goals just the ones they concede. Dann is a terrible pick, you should bring him in

    Where do we think Sanchez lines up in that Swansea team?

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

      Last I checked, Sanchez plays for Arsenal but Sanches will play in CM.

        I'll try harder to remember how to spell every player's name in future...sorry.

      Right side of the diamond is my guess

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years

        And where does Carroll go?

        1. Ramboros
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Left side. Fer offensive.

    Brady this Brady that, Brady ain't done shit, I need to stop listening to the guys on here.

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

      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

    2. janowsc

      Play your own game holmes

      8 years, 7 months ago

      You expect instant hauls from a 5.5 mid? Not how it works - his home fixtures are strong and he's showed up at Chelsea and Spurs.

    4. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, you do. It's Snodgrass without any penalties or goals.

      Isn't he a great quarterback though 🙂

    6. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Burnley isn't a good attacking team imo but he's a great player just that u don't expect consistent hauls imo

    7. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That is more replies than I get usually. But I stick with the fact that this season hasn't been great for us FFS'ers.

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Didn't realise a season is only 4 weeks long

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

    5.5 mids dont score every week, calm the hell down

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

      Brady barely scores every season though, that's the problem. He's a bad pick. A case of letting the stats do the work and them leading you up the garden path

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 19 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Well he's past the eye test in the first 3 matches has the stats and has the fixtures. What else do you judge players on?

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          On past record too surely.. you don't suddenly become a Messi out of the blue.. although you could become a vardy/payet (late bloomers)

          1. Mark
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 19 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Brady was never given consistent starts last season and never dominated set pieces to the same degree.

            I don't see how one blank for a 5.5 player writes him off as an option. In that bracket you won't get consistency so you look for set pieces to guarantee involvement - Brady fits the bill and has home fixtures to deliver, he just didn't today.

        2. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          On end product. People have gotten overexcited about his stats. Right now Crystal Palace are top of the 'attempts from combined set plays' table. If he doesn't put them away (poor goal record), and Burnley don't put them away (very average goals scored from combined set pieces last year), then who will. If he had penalties too then it might just swing it, but probably not because it's Burnley

          1. Mark
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 19 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I dont think anyone is overexcited about a 5.5 mid - you're reaction to one blank is more overexcited imo. I still believe he can deliver on the same level as Mooy and Gross and others in that bracket - nobody who has him should expect more.

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

              I didn't react to a blank, I'm just giving reasons why I wouldn't own him. I don't think he'll get enough assists and I know he wont get enough goals to represent good value. Robert Snodgrass he isn't
