Kane and Son start as Llorente returns for Leeds

Two Premier League matches kick off at 2pm BST today – Burnley v Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur v Watford.

At Burnley, Sean Dyche makes just one change as Ashley Westwood (£5.4m) recovers from a toe injury to replace Jack Cork (£4.5m) in the Clarets engine room, while Ashley Barnes (£5.5m) partners Chris Wood (£6.9m) up front.

For Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United, Diego Llorente (£4.5m) returns at centre-half with Junior Firpo (£4.9m) and Mateusz Klich (£5.5m) missing from the matchday squad.

As expected, Patrick Bamford (£7.9m) leads the line, with Raphinha (£6.5m), Rodrigo (£6.4m) and Jack Harrison (£5.9m) supporting him.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane (£12.3m) starts his first Premier League match of the season for Tottenham Hotspur following his mid-week European brace, with Lucas Moura (£6.5m) dropping out of the starting XI.

Moussa Sissoko (£4.5m) is straight into the Watford side to face his former club following his move from Spurs last week, along with Joshua King (£5.5m), Francisco Sierralta (£4.4m) and Juraj Kucka (£5.5m).

        GW4 😛

    We all scouting Jimmy for GW4 then?

    Blank in a good performance & price drop to 7.3 would be cushdy

    1. Vlekz
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No spots left for him for most. Dcl Antonio + luka/cr7

      • Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Is there any way to get 5 forward slots?

        Love Jimmy, want him but...

      How much do you value your wildcard?

      I feel compelled to shuffle my team with a wildcard given Ronaldo's arrival and impact on Fernandes and Greenwood. Only question is:

      A) take a 12-16pt hit

      Or

      B) use the wild card

      A is tempting. I'm currently at the top of all my mini leagues and altho the hit will send me to 2nd-3rd it does mean I still have my wildcard..

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I should have taken a -8 as I had 2ft and used my wildcard selling Salah to get in Kane as a 2week punt. Messed up royally as per with my wildcard.

      2. Vlekz
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Till -8 I think it's fine. More than that I would just use my WC. Can take the -12 if needed when others are WCing if I need to

          2 years, 7 months ago

          You should be able to swap Bruno to Ronaldo for a -4. Greenwood you can deal with later. Should be absolutely no need to take a -16.

        • lugs
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          it would be crazy taking a -16 with your WC available, any future problems that arise with your team can be easily fixed with a hit or 2 spread over a couple of weeks

        • Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I might wait to see the full Ronaldo impact before jumping off Bruno and onto CR7.

          Got 2FT over the break, may sort my defenders out first.

          There's a new Torres in town

      4. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Sticking with Chris Wood from GW 1 finally paid off (a little)

      5. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

        2 years, 7 months ago

        Raphinha and Bamford and Ayling. Kinda overkilled it there.
        Rest of the team: 3Mutd, 2liv, 2whu.

        What's wrong with me this year haha

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Only 10?

          1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Rest is fodder lol. Got Tsimi too-->3 liv!

        2. OLD Rafiki
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          but its not a laughing joke

      6. OLD Rafiki
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        i think toney was just waiting for me to sell him so that he can score.

        1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Same. Luckily got Bamford.

      7. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thankfully Bamford scored, should avoid another drop in price, hopefully.

        Tripled up on Leeds, Raphina at least has returned but Meslier not really done anything yet.

        Patience needed, I suppose.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Yes. Patiently wait for the returns. Bamford still a great choice.

        2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Tripled up on Leeds too. Not sure if I should stick with all 3...

      8. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        48 with Shaw and Fernandes to go. Would be better off if I didn’t wildcard

        1. capoultra
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          always the way

      9. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Anyone planning not to wc this break (unless ur team has a mare over the break)

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I will not WC

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Not planning to but things can change quickly

        3. Andy_Social

          GW4-5 carnage could be back on - FIFA have put their foot down.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            yea I saw, im not planning to wc so wont get any price wins if im forced to activate it late, tricky call

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I'm holding till gw7. Just trying to hold in there with my weekly transfers.

        5. Flair
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Couldn't be further from my mind. Team is more than fine.

        6. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Was set on gw7 before the game even launched and nothing has changed. Might take a -4 next week (have 2 FT) but don't understand all the clamour for wildcards rn. Marathon not a sprint.

      10. Licky
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Just pass it, Trinçao...

      11. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Wolves could have been easily 2-0 up already

      12. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Seriously why does Fred keep getting picked? Shocking player.

      13. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        There is no way Shaw is getting a clean sheet in this game.
