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.

    Anyone but Toney

      Still stuck with the cart horse known as Weghorst!

    Toney firmly on my watch list for next week.

    Broja replacement perhaps

      Watford in 33 worth playing. Maybe Leicester in 30. Lot of tough games otherwise

    Interested to see what kinda teams people who are FH’ing in 30 are looking at currently?

      Too many unknowns atm. Want to assess the Daka/Nacho situation, how many minutes Maddison gets, what Leeds look like, whether Jonny stays LWB, Kulu v Doherty etc.

      But made a quick one:

      Sa
      Doherty - Ait Nouri - Jonny
      Son - Saka - Barnes - Maddison - Coutinho
      Kane (C) - Lacazette

      Schmeichel - Tierney - Toney - Cresswell

      SA
      Saiss Tierney Doherty
      Saka Coutinho Son Maddison
      Kane Toney Jimenez

      Martinez Barnes Tierney Cash

    Held Toney since GW9 all the way through his lean spell.

    Finally feel as though am getting some payback especially as he’s such a big differential.

    1. Nomar

      You are, and let's be honest, no one else in that price point has done it during that time.

        To be fair I held Antonio for the same reason until last week but definitely never got any payback there.

    @THE 12TH MAN if you are here i hope you didn't start Weghorst or BB.Sorry.

    Toney scored 6 goals in his last 4 starts!

    1. Bushwhacker

      Two dodgy pens .. but yeah .. Erikssen has unleashed him

      1. Sun God Nika

        Aged well

  9. El Presidente

    Toney is back!

  10. fedolefan
    • 9 Years

    Brentford are going to stay up then. 9 point gap to Burnley is too much.

  11. COLLIN QUANER
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    That would've been Weg scoring if he'd stayed on. Fuming

  12. El Presidente

    What a massive goal that was for BRE...

  13. Tasty Jerk

    Another Eriksen assist coming up (pen)

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

    Ridiculous red card

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Seems so harsh

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I don’t get the reasoning. He’s not the last man. Penalty is perfectly fair judgment.

  17. diesel001

    Game over for England after two minutes. Down to 14 men after a red card.

    2-0 Ivan Toney again from Pen.

  19. Tasty Jerk

    Toneyyyyy

    1. TopBinFC

      Feast

  23. Hazz

    Fair play to FFS for chucking Toney in the Scout Team. That was an inspired move!

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      He looks set to be the best set and forget forward across the season now. £6.5m for a guy who already has 11 PL goals.

      Should have just kept him from GW1 with (a lot of) hindsight.

  24. JBG
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Finally Burnley might go down.

  25. L'Aeroplanino
    • 7 Years

    Toney essential

  26. Pukki Party

    Toney gw1 bandwagon

  27. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Big result for Leeds United and Everton!

  28. Wolfman180

    Massive bandwagon incoming

    YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    Toney haul!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
    Great value at 6.5m.

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

      Yeah, had him so long, finally paying off, 5goals in 2 GWs
