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.

    Can’t wait for Jose to use this as an excuse to go back to boring defensive football....

      ......sells Kane and Son

    Is Richarlison back? Viable option at H vs. Fulham?

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

      Yes

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

      Yea and he's played well.

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

      Absolutely.

      Type of player to knick one on the break at City too.

    4. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He's been showing form and desire again. His head was dropping a fair bit over Christmas but think this, and the last match where he had a blinder too, will push him on.

  3. Fudgy

    Mourinho is a total dinosaur. Needs sacking.

  4. wulfrunian

    Pope,Ogbonna,Dias,Antonio,Dcl owner.At least i have 2ft.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Screams WC if confirmed out

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

      I reckon they'll all play. The only doubt being Antonio.

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Oh sorry Ogbonna will be out. That was a nasty one.

      2. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I hope so.

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

      Realistically, Ogbonna probably the only one to miss this weekend.

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

        Any source on Pope's injury?

    4. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What’s wrong with Dcl?

      I have him, Pope, Dias and Antonio 🙁

      Dont forget Rodri as well, could impact Gundo

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

    Siggy should have passed

  6. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who is most likely to mis DGW now?

    A) Dias
    B) Pope

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Neither

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

      As a stone's/cancelo owner hopefully Dias!

      1. Ci Siamo
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        As a Stones and Cancelo owner you won't be getting your CS points without Dias haha

      2. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Surely you want Dias to play? Bold to assume a CS without him

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I see both playing

    Digne hobbled off subbed. Looks injured

    1. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looked knackered if anything.

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years

      Tired.

  8. Rainer

    Digne wants a flag!

  9. Gunners in Haaland

  10. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    What to print out first Ben crellin dgw sheet or Ben crellin transfer planner

  11. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Pope is out, getting a Burnley defender is a big no right? I was already leaning towards not bringing one in

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

      Probably but Dyche will not confirm anything if he was right - “touch and go”.

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      He’s fine

  12. Fudgy

  17. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    DCL back on the bench, confident he’ll be fine

    1. Lord.

      He’s nicked all the hot water.

    Justin injury does not sound too bad. Should be ready for DGW26! 😀
    With no WC but planning to BB26 & FH29 does these transfers look alright?

    Dias + Barnes -> Mee + Gundogan
    Leave me with 2.9 ITB and this team:

    Areola
    Cancelo - AWB - Mee - Coufal
    Salah - Sterling (TC) - Bruno - Gundogan
    Antonio - Watkins

    (Martínez, Maddison, Justin, Brewster)

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      he was strechered off

      Looked bad

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

        Rodgers comments after leaves room for optimism

      2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Rodgers has said he was fine only 5 mins after, impact injury most likely

    2. Dsmythy
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Van Dijk was walking after his injury too

    3. Max City

        colon + D with no space in between

  20. Paqueta Rice

    It’s a bit bizarre that it’s almost 10.45 and there is still live football playing.

    1. Londongeezaa
      • 5 Years

      Day night match

    Who cares about all the injuries.... The mighty Bees are top of the league!

  22. Rainer

    Kane range!

  23. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years

    My bench...
    Johnstone | Digne | DCL | Antonio

    1. Arctic monkeys

      All doubts

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That's why they're benched

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

    Someone in the wall is going to jump and land on the player lying on the ground eventually and it will be banned

    Damn. My team is in ruins haha

  26. Steve The Spud

    I’m a spurs fan but wtf are Everton doing? Leaving so much space still

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

      I suspect they might be a tad tired. Past bedtime.

    Justin’s injury sounds bad, are we assuming he’s going to be out for a while?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for scan

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

      Rodgers said it’s not that bad but I think he still misses this week at least

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

      Sounded like he was fine actually. Maybe one game miss.

    4. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rodgers on Justin's knee injury: "He said he could have walked off. After five minutes it eased up. He felt something when he landed but on first look there’s nothing major which is good news."

      = bad news?

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

      Hard to know, you can actually walk with a torn ACL sometimes depending on what way it’s been done for example, being able to walk in & of itself isn’t really an indicator

  28. Bushwhacker

    Harry Winks is Dele Alli in disguise?

  29. Bushwhacker
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best cup tie in years that . . absolutely nobody giving a hoot if they stayed in or not.

  30. Effe

    Just catching up here. What happened to Calvert Lewin?

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

      A bit of the old fatigue, probably fine in a week or two
