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.

    Why on earth is Nick Pope 4.5m...

    1. stachman

      Guess Burnley builded some reputation...

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 hours ago

        Not enough for their substitute goalkeeper to cost the same as Ben Foster and Fabianski.

        1. stachman

          But enough for him to cost more then substitute newcomers keepers...

            West Brom. Foster 4.5m, Myhill 4.0m. There's no way Burnley have a better reputation than WBA. You're wrong.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      The game is 36 minutes old.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      Couldn't understand the hype anyway.

  10. The Royal Robin

    Did Brady get a yc?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 hours ago

        Oh right, hasn't come off my total yet.

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      Yes, Brady yellow and Heaton injury in the same minute. Bad for owners.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 hours ago

        Are you sure? Just been on BBC and there's no yellow next to his name either.

        1. BabyB
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 11 hours ago

          sky said he was booked but no other source has it. Wait for halftime but it isn't clear at this stage.

          1. BabyB
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 11 hours ago

            yc added now.

  23. Nickofoz

    Well Dann was a horrific purchase :/

    1. Nickofoz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      Not purchase, had him from the start, but you get my drift

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      PvA owner here 🙁

      1. Nickofoz
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 hours ago

        Ouch. At least you might get points off the bench!

        1. FPLtfs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 11 hours ago

          Carroll will be the one. PvA will come on for his 1 pointer for sure though.

  24. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 hours ago

    Stop dissing The Pope.

    1. SilkySkills
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      NOPE

  25. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 hours ago

    I can guarantee that with Heaton out for the foreseeable future, his replacement won't be a Popelar option

  26. liiusions
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 hours ago

    Why is Pope 4.5? I'm so confused as to why he's not 4.0

    1. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      Sake. I was about to look this up. Assumed 4.0 too. That's rubbish

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      Due to his name having religious connotations, FPL add a 10% tax (tithe) to his base value

    3. Ramboros
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      Every backup GK is priced 0.5 below their starters, apart from thew few that are equally priced. It's simply because backup GKs are nailed on starters and will not get rotated when the first choice gets injured.

  27. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 hours ago

    I see better football than this in the Championship.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 hours ago

      There is a reason Burnley aren't featured on TV much.

  28. diesel001

    With Heaton injured I now want a Palace goal. Come on Palace!
