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.

    Palace so much possession but no cutting edge

    Hard to watch

    The premier league is the most entertaining league in the world... 😆

      It's painful at times

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Fulham and Detroit Lions fan. Don't know why but that strikes me as such an odd combination 😆

    2. Sánchez

      Whereas la liga entertains with stuff like yesterday's Barca 5-0 win with Messi hat trick again every week. Highly competitive stuff

      1. laplana
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No correlation to what I just said.

        1. Sánchez
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Well technically what you just said was you actually support the claim the PL is indeed the most entertaining

    3. bojack

      Which league doesn't have four games.

      At least it's competitive.

      1. bojack
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Dour.

        Dour is a word too, but my stupid phone wanted that to say four, no matter how many times I corrected it.

    Danilo Willian Tadic
    > Davies Eriksem Mooy
    Worth a -8?

    1. Spartac Mac
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Do you think those 3 will outscore the first 3 (-8 points too?).

      I'm not too sure, maybe just the Danilo swap

      1. Js31
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Willian and Tadic have been massively poor though! I see what you're saying, can see Eriksen rising though

  4. Monkey Hanger
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can you imagine the outcry if Heaton had come off before 60mins last season?

    All we get this season is a few 'Pope' jokes.

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Inujury

  5. Spartac Mac
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So 4 GW's in and the total points are looking close.

    Total Points

    Top 3 Defenders: 32, 28, 27
    Top 3 Midfielders: 31, 30, 28
    Top 3 Forwards: 30, 28, 25

    Does anyone ever captain a defender?

    1. super zlatan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You have too much time on your hands.

      1. bojack
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Says the regular FFS poster 😀

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Whereas the 3 forwards are quite predictable (Lukaku, Firmino and Morata I'm guessing), the 3 defenders are not predictably high-scoring (apart from Alonso perhaps)

      It'd be like saying "has anyone ever captained a GK?" on the basis one gets a penalty save every now and then...totally unpredictable.

      1. Spartac Mac
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'd say goals are unpredictable for defenders, but CS's are more predictable - which is 4points, the same as a goal for a striker.

        Don't think I'd risk captaining defenders often but there has been some impressive scores + BAPS, with the strikers not going nuts as of yet. Just an observation.

  6. MartialMatas
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What's the latest on Rose? Bavies' stats look amazing

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The question is will Davies get dropped if Rose is fit? I don't think he will.

      1. liiusions
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Rose is a much better player than Davies

    2. Ser Davos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would rather use a couple of FTs and stop this pain of seeing Bavies rake in the points whilst not in my team as opposed to continuing to ignore him.

      If he's dropped/rotated, so be it.

    1. Fred54
      9 years, 1 month ago

      We get this every week when the 'lesser' teams.

      Each team has to be shown on TV a minimum number of times (in the UK) hence weird looking fixtures lists as far as TV schedule is concerned.

    What makes more sense?
    A: Erik+Alli
    B: Erik+KDB

    1. VFORVANDETA

      B

  9. FPL Emu
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Tarkovsky has to have like 1000 clearances this game. Playing really well

    1. Differentiator
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wow, 16 a minute!

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

  10. The Royal Robin
    9 years, 1 month ago

    ...king hell Brady. Nice clearance.

  11. The Royal Robin
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Brady could get sent off at this rate.

    1. A Team Of James McCleans
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Shhh

  12. dvdguy
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Stay away from Burnley defenders now that Heaton is out for a while?

    1. KUNingas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

  13. FPL Emu
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I captained Brady just for the laughs, instead of Kane.

    Oh, and I sold Gross for Brady.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bad luck.

      1. FPL Emu
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The Gross part is just ... sad.

        Got him from the start, with great faith. Kept him three games, but sold when his stats where so poor and he got subbed at like 60 minutes one game.

        Then: 18 points

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 1 month ago

          🙁 Bad luck. Sorry.

          1. FPL Emu
            9 years, 1 month ago

            The sad part is that my other transfers have been Daniels out (scored right after), Jesus out (scored 3 in two games), and Zaha out for RLC, who got injured.

            1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Crikey! 🙁

        2. VFORVANDETA
          9 years, 1 month ago

          There are always next time.

    2. A Team Of James McCleans
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I got him after gw one for zaha, so having gotten the 8 points last week Ill accept that a 5.5 doesnt score every week

    3. Over Midwicket
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You deserve all you get.

      1. FPL Emu
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Obviously the captaining part, but definitely not the Gross part. There was no way to see that coming, based on anything, and he was dropping in price. Brady has been god, hit the post at least once, and had a good fixture

      2. BIind Moth
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not really, that is just bad luck. Does nothing for 3 games and subbed at 60 mins one game. You can understand the swap.

  14. BIind Moth
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So I'm settled on Richarlison > Moting as his stats are awesome. Around a goal every 3-4 games for club and country.

    My question is shall I wait until next week, or take a -4 this week? Watford up against Man City and Stoke have Newcastle.

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Townsend really is an awful player

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone know that.

    2. DAZZ
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Didnt Palace reject a 27m bid from Leicester?

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      An-dross

  16. Dr Dream
    9 years, 1 month ago

    These two teams are like United for most of last season. Plenty of running around but you just feel bored watching it. Dull.

    I'm not sure how some teams manage that.

  17. Rainer
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pope looking to put Wood in over the top.

  18. super zlatan
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lee is a shocking player.

    1. Differentiator
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Shockingly good

  19. Monkey Hanger
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pope saves.

    Must be true. Says so on FPL site.

  20. Chris_White
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Now he's throwing in a 15 year old.

    See ya, Frank.

    2. Rainer

      Pardew would probably go back.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        A lot of Palace fans would not be happy with that.

        He is shamelessly touting for his old job back.

    Might not be the best forwards in the Premier league.

    But I'd take Vokes,Woods, and Barnes in a three man tag team, against any other.

    1. Differentiator
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gray, Okaka and Deeney would give them a run for their money

      1. Monkey Hanger
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Okaka is a real beast. Could have a chance.

    2. TheTinman
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney Mitrovic and Kolasinac would rip their heads off

  30. drughi

    Abraham and Naughton to save my wildcard
