Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Newcastle

2,788 Comments
Share

The Gameweek finale falls on Turf Moor, for a Monday night encounter under the lights between Burnley and Newcastle United.

Fantasy interest is limited, in the main, to the defensive players on show. That’s a good thing scanning the statistics building up to this match.

Sean Dyche’s Clarets have scored the fewest home league goals this season, with just two efforts. But his defence have been typically miserly: only Liverpool and Manchester United have allowed fewer goals than the two conceded by Burnley.

Meanwhile, Newcastle arrive boasting just three away goals, only Everton and Crystal Palace have scored fewer.

Their goalkeeper, Rob Elliot, is the most owned player on show this evening. Now part of 26.4% of squads, the Magpies custodian trails only David De Gea (39.2%) in that respect. However, some 62% of Elliot’s 1.4 million owners keep him on the bench for Gameweek 10.

Stephen Ward has become the go-to option in the Burnley defence. The left-back is now owned by 14.7% of managers having already produced a goal and two assists this season, alongside three clean sheets.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Depends on Jesus sell value

      Maybe Jesus + TAA
      > Kane + Def Fodder (3.9/4.0)

      As you have two playing mids on bench

        Thought of this as well.. but im afraid Cameron wont start.. and.right now lovren is injured.. could see Gomez being swapped into CB and TAA play the RB..

        What about Jesus + Eriksen to Alli + Kane?

        Agree with this since you have no other pressing needs. Unless you are going to downgrade Alonso to free up funds.
