Gameweek 29 gets off to a potentially inauspicious start at Turf Moor – the venue that has seen the fewest goals in the Premier League this season.

Fantasy managers will have low expectations ahead of Burnley’s meeting with Everton, with clean sheets likely to be the target for most.

But the Clarets are without a shut-out in seven Gameweeks, while for Everton it’s even worse; they’ve failed to earn a clean sheet in eight attempts.

The Toffees arrive looking to end their dismal form on the road and while Sam Allardyce has been talking up the need to prioritise defence, he appears to have opted for a very attacking line-up.

Having praised Oumar Niasse in recent weeks, he drops the Senegalese to the bench and instead deploys what looks to be a front two of Cenk Tosun and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Wayne Rooney also misses out and is on the timber.

Seamus Coleman returns for the visitors, though fellow full-back Leighton Baines makes his comeback from the bench following a calf injury.

James Tarkowski’s return looks to have restored a first choice back four for Sean Dyche’s side. When they’ve kept their ten clean sheets this season, nine have been achieved with Tarkowski in the starting line-up.

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

    Got Bardsley rotting out my bench. Safe to say that Lowton will have the right back spot nailed until end of season?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, barring injury or suspension.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, got the same issue with Long

      Guaranteed red if you don't own them.

      Fake news.

      Nothing to discuss! You’re right!

    I think as an owner non-captainer you should be hoping for a single goal to keep the team going, but limit the damage should your captain fail.

    Sitting at 400k I felt I had no choice but to captain Kane if I want to close the gap. Anything less than a brace for Kane won't do. 2 goals would mean I could happily watch the Liverpool from ON the sofa, not behind it

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      I want Salah minus points.

      1. Ziro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Nah. Salah hatty followed by Kane 20 goals.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kane quadruple. Anything less and its a failure

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      At 400k you had to gamble, Kane has to outscore Salah at some point

        Why, might be a new King in town..

  5. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Walcott could sit in the stands for all his involvement.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years

    I was planning to keep Kenny in my team just in case he comes on for even a min or two in GW31 (every point counts) but didn't even make squad today so prob not much point now.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Could play in 31 though.

    Walcott will not score this season.

    1. La Roja

      8 years, 2 months ago

      He already has

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You must be confused. He's Bemba's son or did you both enjoy the company of his mother ?

      1. FC Hakkebøf

      2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years

        Maybe they adopted Siggy and are raising him together ?

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Bemba must own a housing estate to accommodate all his children.

        Chucky is his mother

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 9 Years

    Lowton almost assist Barnes again!

  18. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Why is pickford only on 4 saves?!
    Does fpl not count all saves as saves?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      should be 5 now

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      5

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Has to be a shot on target from the opposing team.

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's on 5 now

    5. tm245
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Jumping around for shots off target gets no credit.

  19. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
