Brentford v Burnley team news: Eriksen starts again, Cornet recalled

There’s only one Premier League match kicking off at 3pm GMT this afternoon and it’s of limited interest from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Brentford v Burnley features only one player with a double-digit ownership in FPL, Ivan Toney, and even then the Bees striker’s ownership figure will be skewed by long-abandoned ghost teams.

Within the top 10k, Wout Weghorst is the only FPL asset who features in more than 10% of squads; a hangover from the Clarets’ recent burst of Double Gameweeks.

Weghorst has also been benched by over 40% of his owners in the top 10,000, so there really isn’t much riding on this fixture in terms of overall rank.

It’s an FPL audition of sorts for Brentford assets, at least, ahead of their meeting with Leicester City in the four-match Blank Gameweek 30.

Christian Eriksen and Ivan Toney are two differential options for Free Hitters next week and they both start as Thomas Frank names the same starting XI as last week.

There’s just the one change for Burnley as Maxwel Cornet replaces Jay Rodriguez up top.

    Pogba always with a new hair cut. Impressive!

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I think he shaved it all off to prove that he doesn't care about his hair as much as people thinks he does.

      1. Walter White (WW)

        2 years, 1 month ago

        Or probably tryna remove Utd’s misfortune from his head

    Man I wished I'd treble capped Kane looking at that utd side..

    Oh wait I did! ! ! I'm gonna be smug until proven wrong

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I think they’ll win 3-2

    2. Walter White (WW)

      Last time Spurs were at Old trafford they won 6-1, would love the same

      1. AC/DC AFC

        Fans back in stadium's favour home sides again.

      Being smug about not triple captaining Salah in GW26? Nice one...

      1. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Scored 5 more with my bench boost, neeeeext

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

          Not bad. Then I wish you all the best with Kane.

    I'm going to FH in GW30 and I was wondering the following: Is it possible to increase team value by doing strategic transfers?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Ofcourse

    2. The Mentaculus

      Not really, nothing is banked

        2 years, 1 month ago

        If Toney rises, you can get him cheaper by activating FH early, but even if he double rises you dont bank the 0.1

      You won't run out of money regardless.

    4. fantasyfog

      Waste a free hit on gw 30? Seems a waste, should have planned for it

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

        Scored pretty good when everyone used chips the last few gameweeks. I didn't and I still have 2 FH's, WC and BB left. Just like I planned. Only have 5 GW30 players, so FH is the way to go. I have the advantage now.

      2. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years

        who put you in charge of chips?

  5. Warby84

    Any one on Son/Kane double up like me next week?

    1. The Mentaculus

      • 2 Years

    3. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No, out of 8 million+ players you’re the only one with two of the most highly owned players. You’re a maverick

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I may not after Toney showed off today

    5. banskt
      • 10 Years

      Next week, I think everyone will have Son/Kane double up.

    I could do with United scoring and wiping those Doherty cleanies, come on.

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

      Boo!

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Who is going to do it? Matic?

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Fred

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

        Rashford or Sancho

        Pogba or Ronaldo?

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

    Very hard to call today's game.

    I think it's wide open, Spurs could edge it so I'm guessing 1-2.

    What's your predictions?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      2-1 United Rashford Ronaldo Son

    Today's scores : 2-0, 0-2 now is it going to be 2-2 or 0-0 ?

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

      I was thinking 2-2 too.

      See if United start with any togetherness. Spurs could pick them off.

  11. banskt

      What about the Titanic??

  16. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Does the season ticker difficulty ranking take into account games still to be rearranged?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        That's annoying. Can't be hard to incorporate and the tool is limited without it.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          How could it? They don't know which week the games will fall into.

  17. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    If you could pick your captain now, who would you opt for?

  18. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo over Kane pays off!

  19. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    THE TRIPLE KAPTAIN HAS SPOKEN
