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.

    Would you still bring in Tottenham players if we get no more news before the deadline?

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

      No. My Son to Moura switch is off.

    2. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Certainly not for a hit now, no. If it was a FT and part of a longer term plan, see no problem with it

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

      I wouldn't

    4. Netters2018
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No way my son to moura move has changed to Bruno.

    5. NotsoSpursy
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No way

  2. CRAZY TRAIN
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son > Jota for a -4 it is then

    1. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Who would you play if you didn't do it?

      1. CRAZY TRAIN
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Broja first on my bench

        1. Harvey_27
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Broja wasn't mentioned in the presser but against Wolves, seems a likely 2 pointer. I'd make the transfer for a -4 then

  3. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Team in quite poor health. -4 to this or FH? Dennis and King is for Laca and Broja:

    Sanchez
    TAA, Cancelo, Bavies (if dgw)
    Jota, Bowen, Gray, Bernardo
    Dennis, King, Antonio

    Ramsdale, Coufal, Livra, Salah

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

      Absolutely do not FH! so many cancellations and uncertainty, ti's a waste of a chip

    2. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      -4 at most, defo don't FH. Watford may end up only with one game if Burnley cancel the other game so even your proposed move is now risky. I think your team is good enough to go

      1. Athletico Underachieving
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah the uncertainty is annoying but Watford have Norwich next week so could still be worthwhile!

        1. Harvey_27
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Understood, so it would be a calculated risk with that Noriwch game as mitigation against one of the DGW games being called off (and might also make for that bit more of an exciting DGW for you). I'd do it, but whether you go Dennis or King is a toss of the coin. I brought in King

    Bets James replacement from any DGW team? (Got Alonso)

    1. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      regulion

    2. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs game vs Arsenal could be off but may well not know before deadline, plus Regu seems to be carrying injury. Personally Brighton look the best bet now to me if it needs to be a DGW player, so Lamptey or Cucurella say I

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

    Anyone else getting Dennis despite of that Burnley game potential uncertainty?

    1. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      FT yes, -4 maybe, maybe not, on the fence

  6. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    a.Salah + james to bruno + Cucurella or another dgw defender for -4
    b. keep salah and do esr + james to mount + cucurella for -4

    DDG Bach
    taa james cancelo johnson livra

  7. Saint Tim

    Sanchez, DDG
    TAA, Regulion, Cancelo, Keane, Guehi
    Son, Jota, Bowen, Tielemans, Doucoure
    Kane, King, Edouard

    A) Son -> Lucas Moura
    B) Son + Edouard -> Hojbjerg + Ronaldo (-4pts hit)

    B right?

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

      ronaldo might not play v villa + Lucas might only have 1 gw

    thoughts on this FH?

    DDG (dgw)
    taa, cucurella (dgw), alonso (dgw)
    jota, mount (dgw), moura (dgw), bowen
    ronaldo (dgw), dennis (dgw), kane (dgw, C)

    8 dgw players in total.

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

      A lot depends on Ronaldo fitness and if Spurs v Arsenal will go ahead or not?

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

        And Watford v Burnley game under threat too. Don’t think FH is worth it now.

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

          FH was a no go for me way before last postponement. Right after it was announced it was iffy, and later on it became even more iffier.

    2. NotsoSpursy
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Too many uncertainties for a lot of these players so I wouldn’t

  9. smix
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is the Arsenal Tottenham under threat? Any news of possible postponement ?

    1. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, Arteta implied - though wasn't clear - yesterday that they have a few issues now (ESR, Saka, Odegaard, several defenders, Xhaka, etc0

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

      They have 1 midfielder in Lokonga.
      No way that match is played 😀

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

    your top 5 DGW picks?

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

      think you may need to change to top 3?

    2. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      For relative safety of starts and the closest to being sure both DGW games are actually played, DDG, CR7, Lamptey/Cucurella, Mount, Rudi probably, in no particular order

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

        I wanted CR7 then he's flagged! Really annoying picking players.

        1. Harvey_27
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Didn't see the new injury concern till just now, sorry

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

      Bruno, DDG, Kane

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

      DDG, Bruno, Alonso, Lamptey/Cucarella, Dennis (if DGW)

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

    Was going to do Gallagher & Scarlett > Maddi & Dennis. Now thinking about Salah & Scarlett > Mount & (K)ane. I had planned on holding Salah but all planning isn't a thing in FPL anymore. Thoughts?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Rudiger, Cancelo
    Mount, Jota, Bowen, Bilva,
    Watkins, Antonio, (K)ane

    Button, Dawson, Gallagher, Livra

  13. Eastman

    Broja to Dennis still worth a -4?

    Any transfer worth a hit?

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

    Son/Salah/Watkins to Bruno/Mount/Kane for a -8?

    Or just trim that back a little?

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

      trim back to son salah only to bruno mount

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

        KDB is another option but have Sterling already

  16. Etihader
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    We knew the games could be postponed. So those who rushed with transfers can only blame themselves. All we ask is full clarity on all postponements before the deadline. So please let us know whether Arsenal game is postponed and second Burnley game.

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

      Haha! People who made earlier transfers also knew that we might not get full clarity before the deadline. You can't just beg on a fantasy forum that your way is made to be the smart way.

    2. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Spare a thought for people who are genuinely busy around the deadline and need to make transfers early or risk not making any at all?

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

        Or asleep.

    3. zes
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      such a boring take. when you wait to make transfers you risk being locked out. Both are a risk and you're just patting yourself on the back that you took the correct risk this time. So did I but I'm not sanctimonious about it thinking it makes me an FPL genius

    Maddison, Mount or Moura?

    1. Harvey_27
      • 2 Years

      As of right now, Mount, Moura, Maddison for this DGW

    2. NotsoSpursy

    Let's be honest, this chaos is exciting isn't it.

    Lots of reasons not to bring in double game week players. No obvious captain choice.

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

      love it personally. people spent the first 15 weeks whinging Salah was a permacap and everything was template, now it's whinging because there aren't any clear choices. Everyone is in the same boat!

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

        I think everyone's in their own boat, navigating the same seas

    2. Reacher
      • 13 Years

      Exciting wouldn't be the word id use to describe it......

    3. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Lets be honest, its anything but exciting

      1. Harvey_27
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Ah c'mon, give the patient calm managers a chance to feel vaguely adrenalised!

      2. WHUFCSmith23
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Not even a bit? So much opportunity and hope.

    4. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Might go back to captaining DDG. Worked with Cech on a DGW a few years ago. Exciting in it's own way imo 😀

      1. Mario Balofail
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Exciting times, but it's the taste of failure you are after, hehe

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years

          Can't get enough!

    5. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Finally something happening! Would rather have normal situation with the fixtures, but it's gonna test your decision making under pressure. A lot to lose now, but I a lot to gain!

    6. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years

      Made Son -> Maddi last night (could have done Son -> Bruno had I known).
      On San(C)hez at the moment 😀 😀

      Still I love this 😀

  19. outernational

    Any suggestions on what I should do here?

    Sanchez
    Dawson | Cancelo | TAA | Alonso
    Bowen | Gallagher | Bilva | Jota
    Watkins | Antonio

    Ramsdale | Broja | Livra | Salah

    1FT & 2.5 ITB

    1. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 12 Years

      Nothing - take in a good walk and get some fresh air while further fixture and injury carnage unfold

  20. The White Pele
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    best combo for next gw:

    A) Maddison & Gray
    B) Bruno & Trossard (-8)

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

      A

    2. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      On A and not even vaguely tempted by B.

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

      A

  21. Fantasy Pig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is Son + ESR -> Mount + Moura worth a -4?

    Team would be

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Dalot
    Jota Mount Moura Bowen
    Kane CR7 Antonio

  22. Old Bull
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Dennis or Bowen captain?

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

      Dennis

    Everyone asking similar but what the **** to do now?

    Son to Bruno..? Looking at a move with gw23 in mind, to warm the seat for Salah return
    Running out of ideas - wouldn't be surprised if Villa beat United
    Was going to get Tielemans but not without a double
    No bench either if NLD is off

    DDG
    Trent Cancelo Keane
    Jota Son Foden Son*
    Watkins Antonio Dennis
    Steer White ESR Livra

      • 4 Years

      You're the dude on the other side of the planet right? If you want peace of mind and despite not being ideal because of the blanks next, just do Son to Mount.

    (A) Alonso

  28. WVA

    2 years, 2 months ago

    Looking like I'll be doing Son to Mount, is Bilva to KDB worth a hit?

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Reguilon
    Son* Jota Bilva Bowen
    Ronaldo* Antonio King
    Steele Sissoko Keane Liv

    Sissoko or Keane first sub?

    A) Antonio -> Kane
    B) Foden -> Bruno
