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.

    Done with Pickford

    Which GK do you recommend?

    I have seen stats on Butland. Thoughts?

      May as well keep him for gw31?

        He is only getting 2 points a game sometimes less. Doesn’t make sense to keep this guy. In my opinion he could have prevented the first goal. 2nd goal he was tussling with defender instead of catching ball inside 6 yard box.

          Depends how many gw31 players you have. If you think it's worth using a transfer for. Can't see much clean sheet potential for any playing gw31 replacement

      Karma for cheating at the Euros against N.I. when he went to ground when we were on the offence. Hate him for that...!!!!

    Williams sending off helps Walcotts BAPs potential.

    He's now only behind 25 players in the BAP race!

    Should have got RC in first minute. Pickford would’ve had a CS.

    Anybody thought Mee ia getting Red for a second??

    LOL @ Williams (c)ers

  15. Differentiator
    • 10 Years

    Williams is shocking. Even an academy player is better. Congrats Pickford owners, pts to start flowing next game

  16. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    With Williams confirmed out of 31, who does that make nailed for Everton CB?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Holgate

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Allardyce

    3. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Jagielka

    4. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mustafi

    5. Duka
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Vidic

    6. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      They loaned Mangala. How good are they if they need to bring in Mangala to get better? Very surprised that Allardyce has not been able to fix that defence. 2 goals conceded today with total errors.

    How is Lowton got so many bps? All he did was get an assist.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's awesome, that's how.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Good defending on Siggy and DCL..

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Jafooli owns him...

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Did other stuff too.

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lots of key chances made

    6. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Cross and good few interceptions.

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

      shut up 😆

    8. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      created another big chance that barnes should have scored...

      Lol @ you mate

  18. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years

    Mee and Walcott owner....this GW starting in similar fashion to the last 2 GWs. Disastrous

  19. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Can Lowton hold on to a pair of baps?

    Asking for a friend currently being investigated by Operation Yewtree.

      Nah. She'll do a runner. 😉

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Played him over Walcott. Feeling awfully smug.

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

    Walcott is a trap invented by FPL .

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Correct. And I fell right in it. On the pointy bit. Thank God for WCs.

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

        Me too .... again.

  21. IRBOX ⚽

    Allardyce has not been good for Everton at all. Toffees fan and patience is wearing thin

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

      Not sure how they are not able to defend properly. Keane, Williams, Jagielka should be good enough CB's. Still they concede a lot from errors made by CB (Williams and Keane mostly)

  22. Granville

    Siggy will be back at Swansea next season.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years

      Obviously he wont be

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      With a nice price drop hopefully 🙂

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He'll be one of the more expensive Championship fantasy football players.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      in championship?

    4. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      depends whether new Everton manager likes him or not

  23. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    The Walcott/Wilson conundrum was difficult. Now that Walcott has failed, it seems inevitable that Wilson will bag

  24. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Bobby Lowton on for a couple of juicy baps. Love it.

    1. Jafooli

    Seriously Walcott is a trap for GW31, anyone from Everton is tbh

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      They're due.

      There are so few teams playing that I have no choice but to stick...

    Tbh I should have warned you all when I got Pickford in GW 23.
