Double Gameweek 22 match between Burnley and Leicester postponed

Burnley and Leicester City will now only have a ‘single’ Gameweek at best after the Premier League confirmed on Friday that Saturday’s match between the two clubs has been postponed.

This time it was the Clarets who submitted a postponement application due to a number of injuries and Covid-19 cases within their first-team squad.

Sean Dyche’s side are, of course, also scheduled to be in action next Tuesday against Watford, so it remains to be seen whether the situation at Turf Moor has improved sufficiently for that fixture to go ahead.

Leicester’s one and only Gameweek 22 match is now at home to Tottenham Hotspur next Wednesday.

This latest postponement means that Burnley and Leicester now each have four outstanding league fixtures to rearrange, with the Foxes’ Gameweek 27 match against Chelsea now needing to be rescheduled due to the Blues qualifying for the EFL Cup final on the same weekend.

    Tierney to Cucurella for free?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No, I'd keep Tierney long term

      1. VTown
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Just worried that their fixture will be postponed and he's my only bench cover other than brownhill

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Not sure Brownhill starts these days (although he might due to others testing +/ve)

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Scratch that - Brownhill isn't cover this GW!

            1. VTown
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Makes the Tierney move more appealing then!

    So what are the games most LIKELY to be called off?
    Let's start there... thoughts?

    1. Andrew
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs v Arsenal I'd guess

    2. Salan
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs vs Arsenal, another Burnley game...

  3. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    How about starting Foster over DDG?

    No harm, no foul if he doesn't start and on paper Watford have better fixtures than ManU..

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Can't tell which defence is more shambolic

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      United have a higher chance of playing twice this GW regardless.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, good call. Why add more uncertainty.

        Thanks mate.

    Appreciate thoughts on DCL or Antonio? I already have Bowen . Thank you

    What's everyone's team value? Feel like that is a good representation of how much of a risk taker you are. Mine is 105.5. I used to be quite risky but I haven't made any early transfers for a good month now because of all this.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      106.3 here. What does that make me?

      1. 1-1 at Newcastle
        • 10 Years

        Early transfer, bandwagon hopper?

      103.6

    3. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      106.4 played my 2 wildcards & Second free hit this gameweek. Do I win the contest?

  6. Millie7
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Still have Son and Salah and 1FT ... I can't think of anyone else that i want in the long run now that maddison is a no?

    mids currently:

    Jota - Gray - Bowen - Salah* - Son*

    1. Devos
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      KDB

    2. Marknlard
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Same midfield as me. I was going to free hit and wait it out for Son and Salah to be back - but now I don't know.

  7. Matty172
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thought on if I need any hits here?

    DDG
    Cancelo, Cucurella, TAA
    Bruno, Madd, Gray, Bilva
    Antonio, Kane, Dennis
    (Bachman, Martinelli, Williams, Livra)

    Debating Bilva->Jota for -4

    1. Millie7
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      no

  8. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    After Son to Maddison I will probably do also that Broja to Dennis move and (c) him. Just a game after all and I'd rather gamble on Dennis having DGW than Ronaldo being fit for both games.

    1. 1-1 at Newcastle
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      If Burnley have requested the game off Saturday due to a lack of players and COVID ripping through their team. The chances they will be ready to play 3 days later is slim to none surely?

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

        Game is on Tuesday, covid cases are form last GW.

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

          They still have to be back in training and the board must decide in the end.
          Say they are 'ready' to train monday, then surely the match won't be played tuesday?

          Still think Burnley - Watford looks more likely than Arsenal - Spurs

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            True, but without a game on Saturday they could train Monday.

            But that preparation point is subjective.

            Also, why wouldn't Burnley wait until Cornet is back?

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      fair move wouldnt capt him though

  9. abaalan
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A) Livra -> Cucurella
    B) Livra -> Reguillon
    C) Saka -> Moura
    D) Watkins -> Dennis
    E) Combination for hit?

    1ft, 3.2 itb

  10. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    We all know deep down, that Marc Allister will be the real saviour for this DGW.

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      lol probably will

  11. Bobby_Baggio
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Morning all. Which one pending news? 2FT + 0m ITB. Cheers.

    DDG
    Reguillon - Lamptey - TAA
    Maddison - Salah - Jota - Son - Bowen
    Antonio - King

    (Foster) - Cancelo - Broja - Livra

    A) Salah > KDB
    B) Salah + Son > KDB + Mount
    C) Salah + Son + Livra > KDB + Bruno + 4m.
    D) Anything else?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I like B

      Mount being not considered a lot round here

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers probably fixtures and blanks but i dont mind him

        1. Gooner97
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I did Son to Maddi this night... but if I knew he wouldn't have a DGW anymore, I would have gone Mount honestly.

  12. Gabbiadini

    Who are people captaining?

    1. Bunk Moreland

          Is it time for Captain Scarlett?

  13. Johnjo
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Was planning to get one of Ronaldo or Kane to captain for the DGW but both now seem doubtful of playing 2 games. (CR7 injury and NLD doubts)
    Are either still worth getting or should we avoid both now?

  14. The Sun'll Come Out To…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    How is Burnley even allowed to get a game called off for insufficient players after just selling one of their best and healthy players? That's some $@!

    1. 1-1 at Newcastle
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      He had a release clause which was met.

      1. The Sun'll Come Out To…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Oh right. Thanks for clarifying.

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Release clause, they could do nothing about it

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Neat little exploit though. 'Sorry, have to postpone the game, we just sold half our U21s who played one game in a Sucky Cup earlier!'

  15. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A) James to Alonso (play instead of Bernardo/Foden)
    B) Salah to Fernandes (play instead of Bernardo/Foden)

    Cheers

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      None of those.

  16. 1-1 at Newcastle
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I'm having a look at midfielders to replace Son and it is bleak. It could be smart to transfer to a player you plan on having for the next 5 gameweeks anyway. Coutinho or Foden?

  17. greenybne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Struggling with using one of my Free Hits this week. Already used my FT's to do James and Foden to Jota and Cucurella. 0.2ITB

    Sanchez, (Foster)
    TAA, Cancelo, Cucurella, Regulion, (Livra)
    Bowen, Jota, Gray, (Gallagher, Salah)
    Ronaldo (c), Antonio, Dennis

    FH would be:

    Sanchez, (Foster)
    Taa, RUDIGER, Cucurella, Regulion, (Livra)
    Jota, MOUNT, SANCHO (Gray, SISSOKO)
    Ronaldo, KANE (c), Dennis

    Thoughts?

    Ladies and Gents

    Another splendid game week is almost upon us...

    I am know of the opinion a SGW player is a better captain shout than what's left. I was on Ronaldo, then Maddison, but with the risk of Watford v Burnley adn Spurs v Arse being off I'm now now thinking Bowen or TAA (dont have Bruno or DDG)

    What do you think?
    Team is:
    Sanchez
    Reg TAA Rudiger Coufal
    Bowen Maddison Raphina
    Antonio Ronaldo King
    bench - Cancelo Allan Gallagher

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Think if I had Ronaldo I'd go for him - next best option for you I think is Bowen.

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      SIUUUUUUM

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

        Aye. 4 pointer incoming.

        1. Gooner97
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          OK but even if he plays, are we expecting a full 90 for both games?

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

            I think that’s what people are counting on, as well as a bumper haul v Brentford.

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Well time to get rid of Bruno then

    3. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      With Chelsea having City during DGW, no DGW for Lei, Spurs nad Watford DGWs in doubt, recon (c) United asset a way to go. Wanted to (c) Dennis but possibly Ronaldo a safer bet now.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Phil Jones eh? Sounds like a candidate to buy and captain 😉

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

          DDG 😀

        2. Klopp's Kids
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I use Phil Jones on FIFA. My club legend.

  19. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I have a strike force of Watkins, Antonio and Dennis - no free transfers - do you think it's worth a -4 to get Ronaldo or kane in for Watkins or Antonio?
    Watkins may well have a double next week and Antonio has a decent fixture. I'm not sure what to do. Any help appreciated.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      That's my front 3 and I'm quite happy with them. But I have Son to get shot of and don't want to take a hit. So in your position, I'm going 'no'.

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I have son and Mahrez to sort as well. Who you thinking for son?

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

      I wouldn't. I think that's a decent front line for this GW

    3. Apwilkin
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thats my front 3. I have the temptation for this week, but then just remind myself i would most likely want them out of my squad next week.

  20. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Going with both bruno and ronaldo on WC

    At least if ronaldo misses out id have bruno on penos

    Bruno to salah whenever he gets back

  21. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Maupay or King?

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nevermind. Ronaldo the answer? haha

  22. bw1892

    Is Townsend starting against Norwich?

  23. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    So Ronaldo is fine after all?

  24. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which move?

    a) Son to Bruno for free.
    b) Son+Eduard to Lucas+CR7 for a hit.

    Thanks.

    On a free hit, would you go Bowen for one game or Trossard for two?

  28. TMF86

    Madness considering Greenwood?

    1. Apwilkin
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I have debated on him over Moura this week, but have no clue what to expect for his minutes.

      1. TMF86
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I'm on a free hit and have Moura too

  29. Apwilkin
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Livra to Cucurella or Royal for -4 (have loris)
    Or
    Luiz to Moura -4 (have no spurs attack)

    1. KenyaDigIt
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Go for Moura
