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.

    So as a Kane owner/non captainer, should I be hoping for goals or not? 😆

    1. The special 5
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Last weeks total would be what you hope for

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No imo

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

      No. Over 100% EO = red arrow.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly

    4. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. Just hope your captain outscores him..

      1. Cok3y5murf

        Incorrect

        1. the axolotl
          • 14 Years

          bizarre that people can't get this

      Hope for less goals than your captain will do

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

        Hope for less points.

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

          When taking the captaincy points out of the comparison.

    6. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      5 goals as my ml rival doesnt have him

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

      Just want him to score as much as any highly owned striker you don't have (ie Kun) while Salah gets 3 😉

      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

    How the hell Burnley 7th by the way. Shocking team

      Most of the league are like this - CL money is finally doing its job of cementing the elite.

    4. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Burnley were highly overperforming in the beginning of the season. Not they're breaking even

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Burnley are pretty good going forward actually. Their wing play is the best in the league.

  3. HonestBlatter

      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago
