Burnley’s key defenders are all in place for their first Double Gameweek fixture.

Nick Pope (£5.5m) comes into the round as the most popular Claret, owned by 16% of Fantasy Premier League managers while 1.9% of the top 10,000 have captained the goalkeeper.

However, the rest of Burnley’s defence can be considered differential figures for the visit to Crystal Palace.

7.1% possess Ben Mee (£5.0m) worldwide while 3.2% are invested by James Tarkowski (£5.3m).

Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) is absent from the matchday squad once again, allowing for Erik Pieters (£4.3m) to continue his run at left-back.

Matthew Lowton (£4.5m) could do well against Palace’s (and Fulham’s) weak left flank but is only owned by 3.0% of Fantasy managers.

Chris Wood (£6.2m) joins Taylor on the sidelines with his hamstring injury, while Matej Vydra (£4.8m) has picked up a similar problem, so misses out as well.

That means Jay Rodriguez (£5.8m) partners with Ashley Barnes (£6.0m) up-front today.

Crystal Palace are without Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) for the second Premier League match in a row.

Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) is on the left flank of midfield while Jordan Ayew (£5.6m) is in the other winger role in support of Christian Benteke (£5.5m) and Michy Batshuayi (£5.7m).

Meanwhile, Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) occupies the left-back role and keeps Tyrick Mitchell (£3.9m) on the bench.

Double Gameweek 24 Line-ups

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Kouyaté, Clyne; Eze, Riedewald, Milivojevic, Ayew; Benteke, Batshuayi.

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Cork, Westwood, Gudmundsson; Rodriguez, Barnes.

Double Gameweek 24 so far…

James Maddison (£7.4m), Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) got the goals for Leicester as they executed an impressive second-half comeback to beat Liverpool 3-1 on Saturday lunch-time.

The latter looks set to emerge from the King Power Stadium with the most impressive tally as he recorded a goal and an assist, putting him in the running for two bonus points.

It was bad news for owners of Liverpool defenders as Ozan Kabak‘s (£5.0m) debut ended in disaster. Goalkeeper Alisson (£5.9m) collided with him in the 81st minute, allowing Vardy to convert into an open net.

With goals for Maddison (15.2%-owned) and Vardy (14.8%), the fact that Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) also found the net means the Fantasy masses are likely to be content with the way Double Gameweek 24 has begun.

The Egyptian is owned by 42.7% of managers worldwide, although was not considered a big part of the captaincy by the highest-performing managers.

Just 0.5% of the top 10k handed him the armband this week, a total of nine players receiving more attention in that department, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m)

  6. FPL Scoop

    Goal for Palace and Mee could get BAPs here

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I really hope Palace score

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Same but they bloody won’t. And then they’ll get a CS v Fulham without Mee

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Come on palace.

  7. estheblessed
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Palace are awful!

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Beware the TOWNSEND SCREAMER

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Easy clean sheet for opponents when Zaha is out

      1. estheblessed
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yea without Zaha they look very poor

  8. VAR United
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Why would you rotate your CB’s? Makes no sense.

    Non Dias owner.

    1. mwa1t
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Dias was ill, has only trained 1 day

    2. Vlekz
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He was sick. Probably because of that.

      1. VAR United
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Ahh my bad didn’t know he was out sick.

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      They’re not being rotated, clearly has recovered from his fever yet

    4. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He was never going to play every game. Fever or not!

    5. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Back for a goal and clean sheet against Everton. 😎

  9. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Assuming Ings is the Soton pick of choice for gw25 right?

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nowhere else to look. Raphina/Ings will rise fastest is my guess.

    2. Ch0udini
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Vestergard also tasty if you want defender

  10. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Palace are completely useless. Target them heavily for CS.

  11. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What happened to Mee gents?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      What happened to you?

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

    2. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      looks like concussion - not sure how severe

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

  12. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    So much selfishness on here today.

    It's all Mee, Mee, Mee. 😀

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Good try

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    JRod needs to kick someone and Pope waste time over a goal kick.

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Palace are woefully toothless

  15. Rash
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You sound desperate for them to score

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I want the CS. But I can see what is happening in the game.

        1. boombaba
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Close your eyes and ears and don’t look lol that’s what I do

  17. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who will survive the Pep roulette v Everton? That City bench looks too strong

  18. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Would be interesting to see MCI defence without Dias, been a while.

  19. DandyDon

  28. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bringing Mee in instead of Lowton really sums up my season. Roll on 2021/22.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Come on. It's only gonna be 24 points difference come the end of the week.

  29. Pukki Blinders
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hopefully City concede 5 today so Pep learns to never bench Dias again.

    Absolute fraud

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      All scored by Son

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Haha. Chill man. He was ill, which we knew about. Also the first rotation for him this season.

    7 mins.

    Suspect the Pope baps watch and save watch has changed...
