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.

    Wouldnt have thought week a go that I would be considering bringing in Bruno and already have Ronaldo....

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Will you have Bruno in your team next week if Ronaldo is back?

      1. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        probably transferring to KdB then if I make the Bruno move

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

    KDB will shred Chelsea in the only game this week..

  3. _Gunner

    Is Son + Salah > Jota + Trossard worth -4?

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Jota and Trossard are more or less guaranteed to score 4 points more than Salah and Son.

    So Burnley are allowed to sell a fit Wood then claim they haven't got enough players. WTF

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      WTF, they had no choice it was a release clause. WTF omg

      1. Bunk Moreland
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Supposedly the release clause was only active in the summer transfer window... But who knows , really.

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

      It's a joke. Sit down and count our money, coz we ain't playing football...

      1. Miniboss
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I don't think that's certain yet, but very likely.

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

    I’m taking a big risk and BB this week
    Should i stick with maddison or take him out for a hit and then get Trossard/Lucas moura

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Don't BB please

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      That's crazy...

    3. zes

    4. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years

      That will only work out for us

  10. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    OK lads.
    Would you gamble on ars-tot being played? Currently with 3 spurs players on FH.

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

      Arsenal definitely will seek a postponement tbh

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      12 fit players. Looks tough.

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

      No for me.

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

      Such a massive season defining game. If Arsenal are close to the threshold then they will do all they can to get game postponed and get Partey Odegaard and Xhaka back

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

        Cheers guys. Its sensible but still hurts.
        Think I'll just start Kane and bench L.Moura for Bowen.

        Any suggestions on who to replace E.Royal with? Already on TAA & Rudiger.

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

          Cucurella?

  11. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison still good as Son replacement...yay or nay?

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

      Yes

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Think so, great form

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yep

        1. EL tridente
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Leicester got some pretty tough fixtures coming up… From GW 28 Maddison could be a season keeper

          1. james 101
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            V good value

            Tiels is an option also

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    4. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. I actually got him in early, still think he could be decent

    5. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      yep but i think i may hold till gw 28 or so , will re assess after conferences today

  12. james 101
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Do we still think Chelsea play twice?

    If so how about a maverick Mount captainship?!

  13. ronty
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Since plan anyways is to bring back Mo likely for 24, thinking of going safety first.

    Son --> Bruno (if CR7 is confirmed out)
    CR7 --> Maupay
    Ramsdale --> DDG

    Will be for a -8 but with Ramsdale/Foster, I potentially have no GK.

    This DGW is already a doubtful mess.

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

      I'm thinking similar... Trossard and CR7 or Bruno and Maupay depending on the press conf

  14. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is it even mad to take hits now?

    I wanted to bring in Kane but not sure anymore. (Don’t ask about the 0FT!)

    0FT 6.0ITB
    DE GEA
    RUDIGER Trent Cancelo
    Jota Maddison Bowen Gundogan
    KING Antonio Edouard

    Steele Johnson Son* Livramento*

    Cheers!

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

      I might not even bother making a transfer now, the way this is going.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I’m starting to come round to that way of thinking too

  15. Eat my goal!

    Foden fit to play?

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

      Apparently training earlier in the week. Somewhere shared a twitter post about it (sorry, can't track it down)

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

    Yeah, it's official.

    This forum and it's members have gone potty...

    FH, BB, hits to bring in Maupay and Trossard....

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      “Gone” potty?

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

        Pottier?

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

          Or "more potty"?

        2. james 101
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Pottiest

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

      Hahaha panic stations

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Pandemic stations?

    3. Junglist95
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      From what I've seen and heard it's not what it was or is cracked up to be.

      Glad I found it though

      Such is the landscape with the likes of Maupay on a FH. With Chelsea as one of their games too! (Not that Chelsea def are unbeatable anymore)

    4. ronty
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I will be back when Maupay has his double hatty to hand over the potty 😉

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

        Yeah, while looking at your team with Maupay and Trossard...

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

          It's a marathon, not a sprint mate

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

          I don't have Trossard mate. Must be your imagination.

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

            You know what I mean....

            No need to worry about minor details.

  17. HD7
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son to Bruno or Jota?

    1. baconbap25
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Jota

    2. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Jota

  18. Junglist95
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Salah to Bruno (c) for a hit?

    Surely if Ronaldo is out Bruno has to be focal point as a starter?

  19. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Given my mount posting fail.. In a all seriousness is he an option over the likes of Bruno or trossard?

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Just asked similar above mate.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Oh yeh sorry missed that.. I heard may be rested /mind rested v Brighton which puts my off slightly

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Nothing is reliable this week…

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Looking at recent games he has had some rest so maybe worth getting

            1. james 101
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              I have him already

  20. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I give up and will not make any transfers, this is the team in a 'mess':

    Lloris (Ramsdale)
    TAA Cancelo Keane Dalot (Tsimikas)
    Foden Jota Bowen (Bernardo Martinelli)
    Ronaldo Antonio Watkins

    With Ronaldo situation, best captain?
    A. Lloris 😛
    B. Jota
    C. Bowen
    D. Others (incl. FT in if needed)

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'm looking at Trent, Jota & Bowen now. Prob C Trent, VC Bowen

  21. McSauce

    This website sucks this year...http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/

    Did SOn out to Maddy last night due to price rise and fall on the website so 0.2 swing which would have affected other moves!! Now as a result I didnt wait until today and have burnt a transfer getting a SGW player in instead of DGW!!

    Lssson learned, forget websites like these and just wait until deadline moving forward no matter what!!

    1. Hooky
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      McMistake

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Free hits wreck it’s algorithm and we all have 2 so…

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Did the same, we knew the risks. Still not a terrible transfer

    4. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Fplstatistics is absolutely fine, you just need to learn

      a) Don't make early transfers this season, that should be obvious by now

      b) Price change websites can be affected heavily when WC's are in use, everyone has just got their second Wild Card so take into account a lot will be using theirs. Transfers made on a WC mess up the players bought in/price rise ratio

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

      Yes can't rely on it in weeks where lots of FH/WC active

  22. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Broja to Dennis potentially for a hit still worth it?

    Even if Watford don't have a double, they will have 3 fixtures to rearrange......thanks

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think so, was going to do it but am pulling away from it now (that being said I have King already)

  23. Junks
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A bit stuck with this lot... Its not the best squad but based on all the postponements I'm very reluctant to FH or WC just yet??

    1FT 1.4ITB
    Ramsdale
    TAA Alonso Cancelo Nouri
    Saka Foden Bowen Moura
    Watkins Antonio

    Foster / Duffy / Pukki / Salah

  24. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    With Leicester game off, which mid to bring for Salah instead of Maddison? Got Jota, Foden, Gray, Bowen.

  25. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Watford Burnley on Tuesday will be a doubt now aswel, think Dyche is playing games a bit as hes angry about chris wood!

  26. winchester
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hey lads, have 1ft and 5.6m itb. what move should be done?

    ddg
    taa - cancelo - reguilon
    bernardo - jota - bowen - son*
    antonio - watkins - dennis

    (foster - saka - keane - livra)

    a) livra -> cucurella/lamptey
    b) son -> bruno/kdb
    c) watkins -> ronaldo/kane
    d) something else?

  27. james 101
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Do we still think Chelsea play twice?

    If so how about a maverick Mount captainship?!!

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      tough games

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Tough games vs no games dilemma!

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

          Surely Cap TAA, Bowen or Jota

          1. james 101
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Solid options all

    2. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years

      Postponing games until Big Andy is secured

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

    I can't see NLD being played, and Burnley - Watford in risk now.
    0 FTs and 4.9 ITB
    2 FH's and TC left.

    Just field this team?

    San(C)hez
    TAA - Cancelo - E.Royal
    Jota - Maddison - Bowen - Gray
    Kane - DCL - Antonio

    (Pickford, Coufal, Lowton, Ramsey)

    1. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes
      Just field this team

  30. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Will probably just do Son to Bruno. And then Easy switch when Salah is back
