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.

    If you want some Deep Wood you just need de Bruyne and Wood in a team together.

    Palace have been the better side so far

  7. Hotdogs for Tea

    A brace by Dann to break WC hearts ?

  8. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Debating Chicharito to Wood. He has impressed in his few starts so far and their run isn't too bad. I think Hernandez is the better player and suits WHU style but they are just woeful at the moment. It would also free up a precious 0.5m. Am I just bandwagoning or is that sound logic?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They haven't played yet. He might score 4 tomorrow

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Just a bouncing a few ideas about. I won't be making any decisions until Friday lunchtime anyway.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

      Maybe wait to see what Chicha does ?

        Obviously. I won't be making any decisions until Friday lunchtime anyway. I generally like to get a few transfer ideas the weekend before and then see which are the best according to what happens in matches.

    Is everyone on the Gross Wood train?

    1. Dynamic Duos

      Gross over Moting?

        Haven't seen highlights so can't say atm

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years

          No me neither, but Moting is 5.5m Striker score midfielder points

            • 16 Years

            Yep not bad could worth a shot at that price

            He played on the left yesterday - look at his touch map.

      2. Tactical Nuke
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I got on the Wood train last week (before his international hat trick). He's always been a striker I like. Catch 22 when he does well now.

    2. Fuchs Mane Kante

      Any Jesse wagons leaving soon.

    Brady's delivery is awful

      it's not though is it

      1. Hotdogs for Tea

        Let's watch and see, either way. Not very involved either

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

      bigger problem is he just doesn't score many goals and they don't win a great deal of free kicks around the box, and Burnley don't score LOADS of goals. So he's a bit like Snodgrass but without the goaql threat, or penalties

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        That is a damning description

    Hi, which one is better options and why?

    A. Alonso + Chicarito + Carroll (343)
    B. Bavies + Firmino/Vardy + Carroll (343)
    C. Alonso + Bavies + Abraham (433)

    Thank you (repost).

    1. El_Shaw
      • 10 Years

      D. Wait and see how Abraham and Chicharito do

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      B

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      C. I think it will score the most points.

  18. King Kohli

    How would you improve this team?

    DDG Elliott
    Davies Yoshida Stephens Mee TAA
    Eriksen Alli Pogba Willian Chalobah
    Lukaku Firmino Chicha

    2 FT 0.4 ITB

    a. Lukaku + Alli > Kane + Salah (Have exact funds)
    b. Chicha + Alli + Willian > Kane + Gross + Choupo/Jese/Brady (-4)
    c. Wildcard

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Need an option that includes ditching them saints defenders

      1. King Kohli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Could manage for 1 week with Stephens/Mee/TAA I guess and avoid the hit

    2. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Willian -> 5.5 and Stephens to Alonso

      1. King Kohli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Want to get in Kane

  19. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Just looked at the stats and I'm tempted to sell Lukaku for Kane instead of Morata

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Get all 3 🙂

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

      I am also thinking of selling kaku instead of kun.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Been running them all day + Jesus and Firm. A case can easily be made for any of them.

      Settling on Kane, Morata and Lukaku because are nailed and slightly less lottery than Citeh and Liverpool.

      Much easier to down grade if needs be.

      1. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Rest of squad? Leaves 66/67m for 12 players.

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Elliot, Gomes

          Davies, Bertrand, Naughton, Sanka/Schlinder/Mee, I'm on a WC)

          Eriksen, Pogba, Atsu, RLC, Doucare (sp)

          Still have 0.6 in bank.

          TBH it might be a short lived experiment!

    I need to bring 2 players in for Mane and Gabbi.
    Suggestions please? 0.5itb

    1. JONALDINHO

      Eriksen and Wood?

      1. KeepCalm
        • 12 Years

        Thanks.

        Have Alli and Kane already...

  21. stachman
    • 13 Years

    Hmmm... I don't know if I just refuse to admit it's a boring game or is Burnley really fun to watch...

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone against Crystal Palace at the moment is fun to watch.

  22. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Why is Naughton such a hot prospect on here? Swansea concedes most chances against

    1. Still Unsure
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Playing wing back, bombing forward, super fixtures, 19 points in first three games.
        Anything else?

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

          Fries and coke please

      • Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        2 clean sheets, an assist, bonus, and great fixtures. silly question really, although a valid warning.

      • Think
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        May be because he is playing wing back and have good fixtures.

      • Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Got points last week..

      • Tactical Nuke
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Because of his attacking prowess. I haven't been watching him but I bet his stats will tell the tale.

      • Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe good stats and ok fixtures? oop?

        No interest myself

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

        Fixtures and playing wing back

      • Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        2 clean sheets and an assist, don't play with wingers so fullbacks asked to push on, sometimes play 3 at the back so Naughton becomes a wing back - oh and 4.5

      • FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks for your replies. Ofc I know he scored some points, but the clean sheets may not be sustainable, that's my point.

        1. Still Unsure
            8 years, 7 months ago

            The point is if he's playing wing back and getting forward, he won't need clean sheets

            1. Cok3y5murf
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Because he'll assist every game? Every alternate game?

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, think he's got more popularity than he deserves this early. Depends on how he does today for me.

          These stats have been putting me off so I understand your concerns tbh

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah, this was kind of my point 🙂 Seems like theres a case of points chasing going on. Will have a look at him later today

            1. G-Whizz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              He's the type of defender I'm looking for as I need a cheap wingback. Not in any rush so like yourself and others will just carry on watching and might get him or Yedlin in for GW5/6

      • Deus
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Trippier is nailed or not?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Not. But you never know, maybe Poch will have one full-back for PL and one for CL, in which case he might be ok.

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

          Will rotate with aurier

      • migas2k7
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        will sané or sterling ever be an option on city? they score well but this tendency of pep to play with danilo, walker and mendy is killing their appeal.

        1. Fuchs Mane Kante
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Sane could be hitting form again and should be nailed left wing.

      • Pirlø's Pen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Views on this as a WC team? Haven't hit the button yet.

        Pickford
        Alonso Mendy Davies
        Eriksen Pogba GroB
        Kane Jesus Firmino

        Elliot Chalobah T. Carroll Wimmer Naughton

        The 4 on the bench would battle it out for one spot every week.

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

          Way too heavy investment at the back

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Reeks of chasing points to me, also there's only 10 in your starting 11. Gross is not a viable third mid if playing 3.

          1. The Big Fella
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            What else would you chase in FPL?

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              not last weeks points.....

              1. The Big Fella
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                WTF? Have you even looked at the team? Jesus and Kane have great fixtures now. Firmino has a mixed bag but, City aside yesterday, typically do well against big teams anyway. Eriksen has been good all season and as said Spurs have a great set of fixtures now ditto Pogba and Davies. Alonso is 7m for a reason.

        3. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I like it but I do agree that Gross isn't really a viable 3rd (that said, I have Ritchie but you're using your WC so should be maximising potential) and Mendy I don't really rate City's defence. I'd maybe downgrade Mendy and upgrade Gross

          Bad one

            • 14 Years

      • Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Chris Wood could be great value at 6.5 if he keeps this up. Fixtures are really hit and miss for now.

        1. The Big Fella

          Liverpool's defence is far from convincing and then his next 3 are good and then City whose defence I also don't rate. I am not saying they will win all 5 and will surely lose to Liverpool and City but I doubt they will keep many clean sheets this season regardless of the opposition

        Do we think 3 spurs are essential for the next while. Got Erik and Kane and thinking of getting Davies.
        Yoshida to Davies ?
        yea or no

          Davies is a hero. Was on 2/3 bonus before the int break before Trippier forgot he was a defender...

          It's a no-brainer if for free.

        Estimates on the time Mee will score? I'm thinking 53'.
