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

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

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

      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

        No correlation to what I just said.

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

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

      Which league doesn't have four games.

      At least it's competitive.

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

        Dour.

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

  3. Js31

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

    1. Spartac Mac
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months 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
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

  4. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months 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

        Inujury

    2. Spartac Mac
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months 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
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        You have too much time on your hands.

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

          Says the regular FFS poster 😀

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

    3. MartialMatas
      • 11 Years

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

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

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

          Rose is a much better player than Davies

      2. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months 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.

        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.

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

        ...king hell Brady. Nice clearance.

      4. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Brady could get sent off at this rate.

          Shhh

      5. dvdguy
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

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

          No

      6. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

        Oh, and I sold Gross for Brady.

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

          Bad luck.

          1. FPL Emu
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 7 months 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

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years

              🙁 Bad luck. Sorry.

              1. FPL Emu
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 7 months 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 - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  8 years, 7 months ago

                  Crikey! 🙁

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

              There are always next time.

        2. A Team Of James McCleans
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months 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
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          You deserve all you get.

          1. FPL Emu
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 7 months 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. Maddi Son
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 7 months 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.

      7. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months 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.

          Didnt Palace reject a 27m bid from Leicester?

        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.

            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.

              • 10 Years
