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.

    Most nailed Burnley defenders? Mee & Ward?

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

      Lowton

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Any of the back four that played today.

      Why on earth would you get a Burnley defender now?

      Been shocking for months, have a blank, and 4 of the next 5 are away, plus their away form is awful

      1. Steevo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        They look reasonable for a GW32 Wildcard I would say.

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

          If you like pain and disappointment I'd highly recommend Ben Mee

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

        Great as 4th 5th cheap enabling defenders for the bench

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

    Is Walcott even nailed with Bolasie back?

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

      Good point

    2. IRBOX âš½
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes he is

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Bolasie will still be eased back slowly imo. Walcott place should be secured short term at least

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

      Bolassie been around for about last 10 GWs.

  3. Slam
    • 10 Years

          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Alonso -> Aurier this week. 🙂

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

            Jeez, he was awful last match.. How dare you 🙂

    3. IRBOX âš½
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. Smart choice over Bavies. He is actually outperforming him stats wise

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

        Also should start next 2 imo. Davies not very sure.

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

        Doubt he will start both GWs before gw31, trippier may play both Bou and juve

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

      Red card incoming

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

        That's possible tbf. Hope he has learnt his early season lessons.

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

      Careful, Penny pinching will get you in serious trouble these days.

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

      Kongolo.

      Haderyrnthebrweqhhwaj is the right back.

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

        Kongolo actually very decent.

  10. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Did Jones & Wilson > Lowton & Vardy with my 2 FTs.

    Benched Lowtons 7 pointer. Could have been a brilliant GW.

    As it happens I’ve just had another Wally blank. Good times.

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

      Benched at home against the worst team in the league? You deserve it.

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

    So why did Andy get in Baines again?

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

    2. barracuda
      • 9 Years

    3. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      For the auto-sub. 😉

      It could still pay off for GW 31.

  12. Loðbrók
    • 11 Years

    1. Rainer

    • 9 Years

    I’ve had Mee all season, but he (and also Walcott) is just disappointing now... time to move him on? But if yes, for who? And may as well stick with Walcott through the DGW now eh

  14. tokara

    Jose Fonte, Yannick Carrasco and Nicolas Gaitan all made their debuts for Dalian Yifang in the Chinese Super League today.

    Looks like all the current Walcott owners didn't have him for his 15 pointer.
