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.

    I think Walcott has to go regardless of GW31
    What a waste of a transfer he was

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years

      Brighton (H) next last chance saloon

      Would make zero sense selling now if you’ve kept him this long.

      But I agree, he has been one of my worst transfers this season 😆

    Ashley Williams is a pub team centre back.

    1. TheRealDog
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's horrible. My eyes hurt when I see him and Keane play together.

  5. Superballzzz

    Williams is shocking this season

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He is old. Everton hanging onto a CB for too long again. Just like they did with Distin.

  6. Rainer

    8 years, 2 months ago

    4 yards out and Pickford doesn't do everything to get to the ball 😆

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He was boxed in

      That's all about the horrible marking

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

      He was impeded by his own player .

    Jamie Carragher getting very excited over that goal, is it a champions league final or something?

    1. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Secretly he's dying inside at seeing his team go down on flames

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No. It's because he played for Liverpool who are Evertons rivals

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        This.. get over it

    3. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's an Everton fan. Overcompensating.

  10. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Williams and Keane are shocking

  11. Fred54
    • 11 Years

    Imagine having 3 players from this fixture.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Can imagine having 3 goalscorers

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years

      Imagine having 4...

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

        Niasse 2nd on bench, though

    3. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Pope/pickford, Walcott and
      Niasse

      Someone has this

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Guiltily. Pope + the Everton pair.

        I was kind of hoping Niasse would either start or have zero involvement. Everytime I bench him he gets points.

    4. Rsforstar

      exactly my story, and all 3 are defenders 🙁

      2. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years

        3 points is pretty decent by Pickford's awful standards, I'll take it

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

        I cant wait to WC to get rid of
        Pickford/wilson/mhiki/richarlison

        Dross stinking up my team!
        If it wasnt for GW31 i would've WC by now

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Mikhi has decent fixtures to come though.

          The others, I agree with, but Pickford will at least get you some points in GW31.

        3 - Tosun (39)

        Brilliant. Ashley Williams barking out orders to the other Everton players on how to deal with that corner. Then just stood there and left Wood completely unmarked. 😀

        Chilwell??!

        Time to trundle off BFS. Your tactics are woeful as is your brand of football.

        2. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          He will be gone before the start of next season

          Why Everton went anywhere near him is a complete mystery. He will only ever take a team backwards

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Desperation to stay up so they made a deal with the Devil.

            The devil always wins, though, so Everton will get their wish to stay up but their problems will start next season as SA won’t move them forward.

        35 year old Jagielka can't be worse than Williams & Keane.

        Could Lowton steal Tosuns baps as he's been off the field for ages?
