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.

    Is Frank going to lose the Boer War?

    Anyone think that Yoshida was benched only due to internationals?

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

      Yes I think so. Also they lost 0-2 at home so I'd expect reshuffle again at the back. Yoshida has a chance to start next.

      1. pundit of punts

        How was Hoedt?

        VVD to come back next gw?

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

          Hoedt was average

          It's a lottery there now, thankfully I don't have any of them. I feel VVD and Yoshida will start next

      even if he wasn't, the display from Soton means his stock got higher

    3. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You would think so, but Hoedt also played 180 mins. Yoshida had a long travel home, though.

      I'd sell him anyway though

        What about Stephens?

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

          No idea. VVD is starting for the U23's tomorrow, so I'd probably get rid of both tbh.

    Bertrand or Danilo to Davies on a free. Obvious choice is Danilo but he played well yesterday, covers a lot of positions and could keep place

    Pope

    I hope Pope becomes an essential pick
    I'm Glaswegian and I know that half of my ML rivals would refuse to sign him even if he was getting double figures every week.

    Heaton - injured

    Mbemba - injured

    Mane - suspended

    Hegazi - probably lost his place

    Mariappa - didn't nail a spot

    Phillips - doing f all

    Gabbiadini - see: Phillips

    WC time ?

    1. nadman89

    I wonder has Pope ever shit in Woods gaff and laughed to himself

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

    I am 85% certain I will bring in Kane this week for Jesus. If I do, for the following week would you:
    A) Keep Alli
    B) Sell for Sigurdsson in time for Everton's good run

    I will obviously adopt a wait and see approach as anything can happen between now and then but just as a preliminary analysis, what do you think? B would free up money and give me (one of) the best players in Everton's team in time for their good run but A means I have more coverage for Spurs who also now enter a good run with Alli going to be fresh from having no CL and being very attacking. Thoughts?

    1. nadman89
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      keep alli hes not playing cl

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

      Gylfi not even taking all the corners at Everton, Rooney will take penalties ... mmmm ...

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

        Didn't know he wasn't taking corners. Who takes them then? I wonder if he would be a goal threat in the box for corners then as he is so big.... I wish we knew for sure who was taking pens :'( I probably will stick with Alli I think. Class player. Really rate him (although I rate Sigurdsson too).

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

          He took some, the young lad Davies took some, not sure if Baines did too ?

          Not bad having Gylfi on the edge of the box rather than taking corners though, not for FPL though

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

            I will look at the situation over the next 2 weeks and decide. Everton were bad yesterday. Cheers for the advice again!

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

              No probs - I am on Swansea watch - always follow the form our ex players.

              By the way Bony is looking really fit, happy, loved ... a goal of the bench today ?

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

                Hope so for your lot. I can't confess to following Swansea but I rate how the club is (was?) ran, the fans and I like Clement. I don't want to see them relegated and with Siggy and Llorente gone, Bony really needs to find his Swansea form of old and not the Stoke/City form of the last few seasons as fast as possible.

    3. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      yes iam in the same boat sort off, but have you seen citys next games wat cry then a bit harder one followed by a bunch of good ones jesus could me the gold ....dont know my self, got eriksen and alli would love kane in the mix so i would keep Alli.

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

        Yeah but Jesus has to be on pitch if he is going to get points and we have no guarantees of that. Sane did well when he came on and really made a claim for a start. I think if I am spending 10m+ I should be buying a guaranteed starter. Kane on the other hand also has good fixtures and is guaranteed to start although this does mean I will no longer have any City assets.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 7 months ago

    If Heaton has dislocated his shoulder then he could be out for a few months. Battle of the boring keepers to replace him, Fabianski has the fixtures, Foster has a solid defence in front of him. This is TFF so no BPS, just straight clean sheets. What are peoples thoughts?

    The other option is to downgrade Valencia to Bavis and get a more expensive keeper. But who?

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

      Elliot + Gomes.

      Cheap.and suprisingly chearful.

      1. Mingo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This is TFF so only one keeper, I have Elliot in FPL though.

        Watford have looked ok defensively but their upcoming fixtures are bad. Cheers for the reply though.
