Who are the best Burnley players to own for FPL Double Gameweek 24?

Fantasy Premier League managers are considering Burnley players for Double Gameweek 24.

The Clarets face two favourable fixtures against Crystal Palace (away) and Fulham (home) but are they worthy of a mass investment?

How many Burnley assets are too many and which ones should we own? That’s what we’re here to help you with.

After running a data dive on the recent 1-1 draw with Brighton, we have analysed the full capabilities of Sean Dyche’s men at both ends of the pitch in Double Gameweek 24.

THE FORM

Having started 2020/21 in uncharacteristically lethargic spirits, Burnley have embarked on a solid, if unspectacular run, to steer themselves away from the danger zone of late.

They collected 17 of their 23 points over the last 12 matches which included morale-boosting wins at Arsenal (Gameweek 12), home victories over Wolves (Gameweek 14), Sheffield United (Gameweek 16) and Aston Villa (Gameweek 20).

And, of course, their hard work at Anfield in Double Gameweek 19 helped Dyche’s men become the first visiting team to win a Premier League match there since April 2017.

Still, even though the points are flowing more freely these days, one common theme has underpinned the Clarets’ matches this season: lack of goals.

Despite sitting one place above the bottom three, only eight Premier League clubs have conceded fewer times than Burnley this season.

Intriguingly, their total of 29 goals shipped is level with Liverpool while second-placed Manchester United (30) and tenth-placed Leeds (38) have both been breached more times than Dyche’s men this season.

The reason for Burnley’s poor performance in the league table despite these hardly relegation-form defensive numbers is, of course, their troubles in front of goal.

After 23 Gameweeks, no team has scored fewer goals than the Clarets (14). Sheffield United have 15 strikes from one extra match, meaning both clubs sit bottom of the league for 0.6 goals per game.

The formbook has not seen much improvement in this area, despite Burnley’s increased number of points.

Over the last 12 matches, their total of nine goals is the second-lowest in the division behind only Fulham (six).

But continuing with their theme, only Manchester City (three), Arsenal (nine) and Leicester (10) have a better defensive record during that time.

    Dcl could be very good captain option for dgw24 .

    Maybe better than gundog if doubts over where he will play??

      Surely better than Gundo

      The elephant in the room is the City defense.

        Totally....but he got a double digit haul at United....

        Fulham game alone may be worth it

    As Richarlison and Dcl owner, this would have been better in the league

      I'm not FHing with just 3-4 fixt to pick from, would rather use it in a DGW.

        It's not always about topside

        Think about the basement in a single week with limited activity

      Why?

    Best chip strategy if have BB, WC and TC left?

      Depends on your team, If you can field a strong line-up in DGW26 by just using free transfers then you could TC in GW26 and wildcard in a later GW to set up your benchboost

    Slightly annoying.. was set to capt dcl before this game tonight, and this performance will probably attract a few more punters to put armband on him.

  27. yakirh

    Seems like the best captains are:
    1. Sterling
    2. DCL
    3. Pope
    4. Gundogan

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL or Sterling for me

  28. TheDragon

    Is Billy Sharp essential?

    Thinking of doubling up with Brewster
