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.

Double Gameweek 24 teams: Fulham - best FPL players, form, fixtures and XXX

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.

    Southampton vs Wolves a key match for scheduling of City and Spurs matches in gw's 27-29 as far as I can make out from Crellin spreadsheet

      Hopefully not what would be feared. Having a great season and can’t be too far off an England call up.

    Pope, Justin, Dias, Gundo playing possibly playing deep?

    FA Cup is indeed magical.

    Pep: "Ruben Dias and Fernandinho both missed the trip to South Wales, with the boss revealing Dias was unwell and Ferna has some muscle issues. “Ruben had a fever,” he said. “He still has some problems with the stomach. That’s why he couldn’t train yesterday."

        possible, but doubtful as they are tested regularly; seems it would have been mentioned. That was all there was from mancity.com news

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds to me Dias should be fine for Saturday

    Get Mee or Digne for Coufal ?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tarkowski

      1. Pedersen
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Isn't Mee more offensive?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Not historically and Tark looks to have been unlucky not to score from his xG

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

      I just went Mee for price reasons

    3. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I've just gone for Lowton, but Digne is obviously a tempting proposition.

  13. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is spurs go out, no dgw26 ?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      no still can dgw 26 for spurs
      may get game in gw 29

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      NAh, still at least three unscheduled matches in hand, depending on Sot'on - Wolves result tomorrow , if I understand Ben Crellin spreadsheet correctly

    3. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They will most likely face Fulham in 26. The fixture in 29 not confirmed

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      Cheers all

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        dont think so but still concern

    2. Kiwivillan

      Where is Pope injured coming from. Can't find news

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Thanks

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years

        Sean's comment

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He didn’t say Pope was injured just that “we were missing” in the quote. Have you heard something else? Could of been missing for a number of reasons right?

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yes not confirm

        may be say a doubt

  15. gooberman

    Justin non owners wont be annoyed by him anymore as hes just been stretchered off.

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

      Non owner but hope it's not serious

    2. Chrisitis
      • 12 Years

      Thats actually annoying with Pool up next and easy swap to dgwers

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        why is it annoying because of that?

  16. In Bale We Trust
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    What happened to my precious Justin? Seeing comments here so concerned

  17. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Justin injured
    Dias sick
    Pope a doubt
    Antonio hamstrings gone

    Dgw in tatters

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio doesn’t have a hamstring issue just fatigue - will be fine I think

      Dias will be fine too I think

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You didn’t watch the West Ham Fulham game?

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I forgot about Antonio and I own him.

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

      WC galore

    4. MoSalad
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think Antonio is more than they’re letting on. Don’t think it’s just fatigue.

    5. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      This would be an ideal outcome for me.

      Although I never wish injury on any player

  18. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Funny how people decided ndombele had turned a corner because of a fluke goal and a load of pirouettes. The guy is absolute trash. 60m.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Slightly unfair I think

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Really?! He’s useless.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You haven't been watching much. He's very good. He's the only Spurs midfielder that can actually progress the ball.

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’ve watched every game, he constantly gives the ball away

  19. ivantys

    City cap is surely locked, these 2 teams can't defend.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      ... but they score A lot, concernung with double city def

  20. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play 1

    A) Shaw
    B) Son
    C) Maddison

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

      Tough, based on the opponent Shaw

  21. MoSalad
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Assume Hamez has an issue with his calf still then?

    Sigi could be a good DGW option.

  22. Isco Disco
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This is all set for DCL DGW blank. I was going to captain him but he had his massive haul now so most probably will blank in the next 2

  23. RamaJama

    3-2 lead for Everton not enough to win...

  24. Bushwhacker
    • 4 Years

    How did Lamela score while diving?

  25. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mcarthy (FORSTER)
    Pieter Rudiger Cancelo (Justin, Lewis)
    Salah Fernandes Gundo SON (Soucek)
    Antonio Bamford Dcl
    (0 ft and 3.8mn itb)

    Any option below worth a -4 hit? Any other suggestions welcome

    A) Forster to Pope (Play Pope DGW 24 and Mccarthy DGW 25)
    B) Son to Sterling

    1. Dasher0303
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Son has dgw 26, so unless ur planning to WC in dgw 25 (which I wldnt do unless you hav FH for BGW 29), then don’t do B.
      I like look of A will probs pay off.

    Cancelo Shaw Mee Lowton
    Gundogan (C) Bruno (VC) Salah Sterling
    Antonio DCL

        1. Dasher0303
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He’s on form tho, he’s a great striker, probs got better chance of being involved in goals than son. Cresswell is probs safer tho.
