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.

    Should I bother making any changes / take Son out? or roll FT

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Coufal / Cancelo / TAA (Tierney / Livra)
    Bowen / Silva / Jota / Gray (Son*)
    Dennis / Antonio / Ronaldo

    Only really tempted by Mount, KDB now for FT or Kane for a hit

    Thanks

    I can’t understand about Ronaldo.. can someone tell me something clear?

    1. Norco
      • 9 Years

      Apparently left training with an injury but not official confirmation

  4. Norco
    • 9 Years

    Got exact cash for the below, worth to pull the trigger?

    Son + Livra > Bruno + Emerson Royal (-4)

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

      Not sure about Emerson for hit, NLD on the ropes

  5. Ruinenlust

    Will Watford v Burnley game go ahead?

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

      No one knows. Looks a bit iffy to be honest

        Whats the news? Im out of the loop

  6. G Banger
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Either of these make sense (I have Gray and he would likely end up on the bench):

    a) Lacca => DCL
    b) Lacca => Someone else
    c) Son + Lacca => Bruno + DCL (-4)

  7. NotsoSpursy

    Why no love for Kane captain today ?

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Camzy

      NLD in big danger of being called off.

    3. FPL price manipulators are …

  8. FPL price manipulators are …
    • 10 Years

    Bench one:
    A. Watkins (MUN)
    B. Bernardo (CHE)
    C. Dalot (avl, bre)
    D. FT Dalot > Emerson and bench A or B

    Which teams do we think WILL get a dgw?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years

      Brighton Chelsea & United

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

    Friends, I was set on Salah-Madders, Broja-Dennis. What to do now with no double for Leicester?

    Lloris
    TAA, Cancelo, Dias, Coufal, Cash
    Salah, Jota, Foden, Bowen, Gray
    Watkins, Antonio, Broja

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

      Salah to Bruno

  14. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Jota better pick for captain over Ronaldo??

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

    I did Son -> Maddison yesterday night, and wasted a free transfer. Might as well activate my FH now?

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

      Why wasted ?

      Maddison still have a game. Don't panic.

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

        Wasted in terms of DGW matches, beccause I could have gone Moura instead

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

      No. He still has a match to play and the DGW fixtures this week aren't really that juicy. There will be better weeks to use it.

    3. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison still has one match afaik

  16. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno, Moura or Jota?

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

      Bruno or Jota

    2. Ninja Škrtel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Jota of course

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

    DDG (Steele)
    TAA, Cancelo, Rudiger (James, Livra)
    Foden, Bernardo, Jota (VC), Bowen (C) (Salah)
    Dennis, Watkins, Antonio

    1) Who would you Captain?
    2) Would you use the FT....
    A) James to Alonso (play instead of Bernardo/Foden)
    B) Salah to Fernandes (play instead of Bernardo/Foden)
    C) Roll FT

    One question, i I brought in Maddison from the double fixture earlier today, would using a free hit now revert that change? Or if I free hit I will have Maddison in my squad coming next gws?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It would revert it - but not really a FH week anymore

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes it would revert back the following week to your original team if play FH.

    3. Felix Navidad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thank you very much!

    4. DALEDOBACK
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It would revert

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Is this a joke?

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

      Nope

    3. LeytonOrient
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty solid tbh. 2FT get rid of son and maybe Dennis in. Wouldn’t change much else

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

    Here's a dilemma...

    Start King (obviously not bringing in Dennis now for a hit)..

    Or

    Start Gallagher.

    Knowing the risks associated with Watford Burnley, that would make Gallagher a better option surely, even if King has Newcastle?

    Deadline is way before potential cancellation.

    Help please.

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

      King goes from double to just/still Newcastle I mean.

  26. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Brought in Maddison and Dennis for a -4 late last night to avoid apparent Maddison price rise. I am screwed now. Honestly cannot believe this...!!!!

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

      they're still both good options, even if they don't get a double

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

      Literally only yourself to blame

  27. Ninja Škrtel
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    who to captain? this is tricky af!

    a. Kane
    b. CR7
    c. Dennis

    FH and got all three

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

      a

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

    Start Coufal(LEE) or Lowton(WAT)?

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

      Coufal

    2. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't ever start a Burnley defender in any game tbf

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

    Start Coufal(LEE) or Lowton(WAT)?

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

      Serious?

      Coufal 1000%

  30. WHUFCSmith23
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking:

    Son to Bruno (for captain this week and Salah place holder)
    Ronaldo to Watkins (double game weeks coming up and Villa on the up).

    That would be a minus 4. Means I have moved money from the front to mid for Salah and my minus 4 is going on a captain with a double game week.

    Does that sound like sound logic or am I missing something here? Help me out boys, my brain is melting.
