A third of the season is almost done, and Burnley’s defence is riding high as a source of Fantasy returns.

After a surprising debut campaign in which a recurring series of defensive heroics – particularly at Turf Moor – saw the Clarets survive in 16th place, their sophomore season has been altogether more impressive.

Sean Dyche’s side sit in seventh place – tied on points with both Liverpool and Arsenal –a nd have conceded fewer goals than all but the top three of Manchester City, Manchester United and Spurs.

Can their defence continue to perform at such a high level throughout the campaign? And who among their array of options looks best placed to prosper from this upturn in solidity?

Our latest Technical Area article for members is heading north in search of Fantasy value from the Burnley backline.

    Suttner to :

    a) Daniels
    b) Moreno
    c) Daniels.

    Thanks.

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years

      B from those three. Duffy looks due a goal sometime soon.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Pretty close between A and C

    3. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      A and C

  2. AnfieldLad

    Thoughts? FT used...

    Elliot
    Kola, Jones*, Mee, Naughton
    Salah, Sterling*, Richarlison
    Kane, Morata Jesus

    Krul, Carroll, RLC*, Gamez*

    Jesus -> Lukaku for a hit?

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Not worth it.

  3. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    With aguero tweeting about his fitness, do you think there's a chance he starts?

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      There's a chance but I wouldn't be overly optimistic

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Awaiting replies of "he definitely won't start tomorrow"

      kane has 6 goals in 6 games v arsenal, only failed to score once.

      Only worrying thing is kane form in early games

      1. 2hotty
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Think u need to look again west ham and huddersfield were early kick offs and look what happened there

      2. Rash
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Kane loves early ko

  4. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    That's Diouf on the wing for another week then with Cameron and Johnson missing out.

  5. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years

  6. Lemongrab
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    A) Suttner to Moreno
    B) Hegazi to Dann

    Other Def are Naughton, Jones and Ward

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years

      A

  7. Viper
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Davies & Mbemba - > Daniels & Moreno, no hit. Benching Otamendi & Jones. (Mee the 3rd starter)

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

    1. Ode
      • 8 Years

  10. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Delph starts ahead of him. Clearly not Peps favourite

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        I need delph to get strucken down with a severe ailment, either him or Walker

  11. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Should i get Salah for Hazard?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      I am.

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Might wait for 2 GWs, gives you time to evaluate Hazard

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        This

  12. DrunkPhilosophy
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Fab Elliot
    Kola Davies Jones Ward Hunemier
    Silva Richarlson Salah Ritchie RLC
    Kane Jesus Vardy
    2 FT , 0 itb

    thinking

    Davies + Jesus --> Moreno + Lukaku?

  13. Ode
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    What's the best option here, or should I make 2 transfers for a -4?

    A) Aguero -> Lukaku (Would captain him over Salah)
    B) Foster -> Pope (Also have Elliot)
    C) Cedric -> Daniels

    1. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      B

  14. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    My defence is
    B.Davies, jones, otamendi, ward & mbemba
    Who do I sell 1st & would you take a hit for this week

    1. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      If you have funds lose Mbemba to a playing defender such as Duffy/Moreno

    2. Gashead9
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Same defence but with Lowe! Also want to get rid of Joselu..
      Considering Davies to Daniels and upgrading Mbemba to Mee/Dann but then that would be for -4 and ill be stuck with Joselu for another week

  15. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Jones + Son 》 Azpil + Zaha

    Do it?

    1. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Depends how much value you would lose on Jones.. I'm keeping him, he should be fit for Brighton if not Newcastle.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Has Mour ruled him out yet or not?

  16. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Anyone tempted to throw the armband on Kun?

    1. Ode
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      I would throw it on him every week if I knew he would start. Risky business

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        I think I've played it safe so far every single week in terms of (C) picks. I get a gut feeling about Kun this week.

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        this

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Depends what Pep says tomorrow but he'll only play either 30 or 60

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      I'm somewhere between keeping and capping, keeping and not capping, and selling outright.

    4. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      I would if I had him, but that's part of the reason I dont.. the uncertainty to captain or not.

  17. cescpistols1
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Aguero to Lukaku for a 3 match punt?

  18. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Have exact funds to do these moves before Moreno rises. Yes or no?

    Jesus Bertrand > lukaku Moreno

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Yes.

  19. Super Silva
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Guys need some help using my free transfer. So many doubts in my squad .. any hello would be great.

    Fabianski
    Luiz Maguire Ward
    Hazard Sterling Richarlison Surman
    Kane Aguero Vardy

    Elliot Carroll Mbemba Otamendi

    1. Super Silva
      • 12 Years

      Help* ffs

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Wait for Chelsea's press conference tomorrow. If the news on luiz is bad, transfer him out and get yourself a much needed defender.

        1. Super Silva
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Cool thanks. Who would you replace with ?

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Nothing wrong with your team. I might try Luiz to someone else but that's about it.

      1. Super Silva
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Thanks dude. Hopefully he is ok if not might try bring in Duffy so I can upgrade Sterling to Salah.

    3. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Hello.
      Got any funds spare?

      1. Super Silva
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        0itb just 1 FT but don't mind a hit. Luiz and Sterling To Salah and Duffy/New?

        1. Super Silva
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          I meant Duffy/Mee. Stupid auto correct.

        2. Johnny 8
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Looks as though Sterling will be ok. As others have said, wait for Chelsea presser and move Luiz on if necessary.

          1. Super Silva
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            Awesome thanks mate.

    4. Squashed
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Only Luiz is a major doubt in your first 11. Ft? Luiz >mee
      Next week use the funds for mbem> gomez. And your bench is settled.
      For vardy mayb out for niasse for a hit next gw or the following gw

      1. Squashed
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Duffy is just as good

        1. Super Silva
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Think I might double up on Burnley. Kinda wanted Pope anyway so this is sorta the same thing haha.

      2. Super Silva
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Yeah that sounds good tbh. I really want Salah in my team though so might do Luiz to Duffy rather than Mee because I have Ward. Also let a me bring in Salah for Sterling.

        1. Squashed
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Nothing wrong to double up on a stingy def. Yeah lack of salad is gonna cost you. I took out hazard to swap vardy for morata. With some extra funds. But it's not that important for you. Luiz got to go after presses

          1. Squashed
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            Salah...... Not salad!

          2. Super Silva
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            A guess a Burnley double can't be that bad after all. Cool dude. Thanks alot. Sterling and Luiz to Salah and Mee it is. After the pressers.

    5. johnnys balloons
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Luiz out, if u have any ft? If u have some money u might upgrade him to Vertonghen, if not than go for daniels, moreno, gomez, dunk, mee...

  20. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    What are people's thoughts on Sterling? Is he fit?

  21. Fozzyb34r
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Got Perez in a few weeks ago for some bizarre reason. Would you take a -4 to swap him out for Tammy? any other suggestions are welcome

  23. Sarnab
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Cedric + Choupo > Mee + Richarlison (-4)

    Yes or No?

  24. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Mark these games down in your calender

    Lukaku vs West Ham
    Kane v Arsenal
    Firmino v Arsenal
    Vardy v Liverpool
    Hazard vs Bournemouth

    1. Fozzyb34r
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      1 against 11, can't see them doing much

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Looks a happy chappy that's for sure. Must of been pay day.

      1. Fozzyb34r
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        He must be able to finally pay off that Wonga loan

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      According to Daily Fail

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Nearly clicked it. Then I noticed the paper concerned.

      1. Fozzyb34r
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Just look at the photos, don't read any of the content

  25. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Can you see a hit worth taking here?

    Lossl
    TFM Cedric Alonso
    Zaha Sterling Eriksen Brady
    Abraham Kun Kane

    Foster Carroll Maguire Jones

  26. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years

    That magical moment when all your international flags are removed...

    1. Ode
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Can't relate

  27. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Should i still bring in De Gea? Have Jones as well

  28. tibollom
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    what do you think guys?

    a. monreal + naughton for Stones + Maguire/Yoshida for a hit?
    b. Foster + Monreal for DDG and Duffy for a hit
    c. any other ideas?

    Elliot Foster
    Monreal Mee Jones Naughton Huneimeir
    D Silva Salah Sane Richarlison TCaroll
    Kane Kaku Abraham

  29. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Thoughts on the following for - 4, now that jones is out I cant get him in.

    Forster Bertrand Hegazi -> DDG Tarkowski Daniels (-4)

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      I would just get rid of Forster and Bertie personally. Why take an unnecessary hit for Daniels?
