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.

    Seems to me the situation is wait until saturday morning.

      Are there press conferences on Saturday mornings?

      Friday night is good enough really. We won't get more news after the press conference round-up on Friday.

    What to do? Also not sure what chip plans to do for upcoming weeks I’ve got WC, BB, TC left:

    Martinez
    Stones Shaw Pieters
    Salah Bruno Grealish Gundogan Son
    DCL Bamford
    Steer Dallas Wilson Dunne

    1.5itb 1ft
    Any help?
    Thinking of using my fts to upgrade steer and dunne for DGW26 BB, then navigate for BGW29 and then WC. Any other suggestions? Maybe a plan to get Kane in?
    I also like Foden for next week. DCL to richarlison?

      I’d hold it for now and wait for more news over next couple of days. I’m tempted to get Raphinha in for GW25, and Leeds have a definite game in 29 so makes it easier to get a team out if you don’t want to use a chip

    2. bitm2007

      I'd save BB until after you WC. Even if you upgrade Steer and Dunne you will still have Pieters, Bamford, Dallas, Wilson (and probably more) with just the one fixture in DGW26

  18. OleBall

    Spurs no chance of having dgw26 if they lose?

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

      They still could

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

      Saints to their rescue tomorrow.

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years

      If Soton win tomorrow they will

    4. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They will if Southampton win, plus they have games to make up.

    5. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Even if Saints lose, there is a (slim) chance they could put Villa-Spurs in 26.

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

        Sheff/Villa probably ruin that.

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

        SHU vs AVL in GW26

    500 K casuals bought DCL even before he played. You deserved it.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wow that’s a lot

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

      I wouldn’t call them casuals. Some may had funds issue and forced to risk. S*it happens

    Justin fine. More luck for owners

    1. Hazz

      Seen the scans already?

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years

        Rodgers confirms he's fine

    2. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years

      I swear to God, even if he had torn his ACL, he still would've played 90 and had a 9 pointer.

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

      Hope he's fine (non owner)

    Excluding Leeds, and only for the Saturday to Monday games, which team would you pick for Last Man Standing this gameweek? Thinking Everton or West Ham.

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

      West Ham

      Fulham sometimes turn up

  22. Lord.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Have the goals overtaken the injuries yet?

  23. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    For the DGW:

    (A) 2x City DEF and 1x City MID/FWD
    OR
    (B) 2x City MID/FWD and 1x City defender?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

      If I was WC then Dias, Gundo and Sterling but I would hold with the 3 that you already have

    3. MOTHRA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So will Digne be rested against Fulham?

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

      Nah.

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

      No

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

    I have cover for Dias and pope but issue is whether to start them at all? Will wait for more news I suppose.

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

      I doubt Pope will come on for a 20 mins run out if he's on the bench.

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

        I meant for the second game. He could miss the first one.

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

    I wouldn't be confident of City keeping a clean sheet.
    Everton look sharp going forward.

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

      If Dias is out then I would agree

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

        Laporte is a handy replacement in fairness!

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

      Looking at both teams tonight tempted to lose Dias for either Foden or sterling

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

      Most teams looking sharp going forward when they play spurs

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

      Spurs just woeful in defence

    5. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think the Eve rest players vs City, they have Liverpool shortly after

    6. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Can't gauge anything from this match tbh

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

    Before people jump on Siggy, he was benched in the last league game against Utd for Rodriguez

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

      This

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

      Hamez has a calf injury

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Just checked - it sounds minor - was touch and go for tonight

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

    Are there any tactics at all in this game now.

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Get injured

    2. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hasn't been since the game got popular on twitter and points manipulation began occuring

      1. potatoace

    These two selfish teams aren't thinking about Ben Crellin. That guy is probably going crazy ready to update his spreadsheet but these guys just won't let him.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

  30. Steve The Spud

    Ben crellin injured

    1. aleksaa2

      Fatigue got him too
