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.

    A lot of love for Silva last week, soon switched to KDB this week.

    Palace woeful but it's no sunrise really, Frank De Boer's a terrible manager.

    1. Hooky

      I think it will probably be sunset on De Boer's Palace career soon

    I see that Mark has messed up his WC.

    Interesting scoutcast coming up.

        Nah...

        He can't even save a Ft this gw as he will bring Kane in.

      He was probably selling KDB anyway without WC so it's not like his pre-WC team would have scored a lot either. Not that I thought he needed to WC but he still made some good points on the pre-amble.

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

        Pre WC team unchanged from last week is beating his WC team by 20 points

        1. VS10_
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          If he didn't sell KDB and if he capped Kane. If.

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

            If ... if he did absolutely nothing and saved a free transfer

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

      Lots of sideways moves, Soton to Soton, WBA to WBA, Bournemouth to Swansea ... and ditched Kane.

      Scouts are struggling this year a bit ... early days though

      Double Liverpool and Man U attack in 4-3-3. Too many eggs in once basket.

    6. PepTalk

      WC success is based on one week? Good to know.

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

        It will probably be ripped up over the next few weeks - same as every WC - things change quickly

    7. zizoo10

      horrid side. not sure why you'd not have a spurs def with their sea of green fixtures coming up.

    8. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      tbh those opportunities he mentioned are not really attractive enough to do a wc.

      and those he wants to remove are oso not essential to remove

      I know a good one about an FPL manager who quits every week but it really drags on and would be too long to post on here.

    Any Kompany + Hegazi owners? I'm stuck with what to do with them...

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years

      Kompany PVA and stephens here. Dumped Kompany for Bavies last night. Hoping Stephens keeps his spot

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I would do the straight swap from Hegazi to Bavies right now if I wasn't £0.1m short... might have to take a -4 to get rid

  9. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Can someone tell me why is it that they dont make it so the profit we get is the profit we sell? Why the half profit thing? Isn't it not fair that you have until the player is 0.2 to get a 0.1 profit but when you want to buy a player that rises you pay the increased price right away?

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Just the rules.

      • BullDogTevez
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Is what it is.

      • Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I guess its to stop you making loads of extra money easily and making managaing the bugdet harder.

      • walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Trying to discourage an all out revenue gaining strategy, is my theory. But I think it's bad rule, and one I've not seen in other fantasy games with soft salary caps. Let folks play the way they want.

      • Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It's to stop everyone making enough money to buy all the top players.

        Otherwise it'd be pretty boring if it was easy to get to £115-120m and virtually everyone has Kane, Lukaku, Alli, Eriksen, Mane, Hazard, Sanchez etc etc.

        I switched to golf. That's bad, even for someone who plays sometimes.

        2. Rainer

          Dislocated shoulder, by the looks of it.

        Brady likely assist denied by offside flag

      12. Grounderz

        Am I the only one Benteke owner here? I've trusted him for far too long.

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 14 Years

          He's in my draft team...

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

          Nope, me too. At least keeping him this week has saved me points - I was considering shipping him for Firmino for a hit.

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

          Haven't had him in since Aston Villa..

      13. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        What to do here:

        Foster Elliot
        Davies Cedric Mee Dawson Hunnemeier
        Alli Pogba Ramsey Atsu TCarroll
        Kane Lukaku Firmino

        2FT / 0.8ITB

        A) Hunemeier -> Naughton and save other FT
        B) Dawson + Lukaku -> Alonso + Morata
        C) Something else?

        1. VFORVANDETA

        I'm not amazed that CP are shiet, FDB lost his last title with Ajax during last game of the season and also was shiett in Inter. Hope clubs will learn now
