FPL managers eye Burnley clean sheet in first Double Gameweek match

Burnley’s key defenders are all in place for their first Double Gameweek fixture.

Nick Pope (£5.5m) comes into the round as the most popular Claret, owned by 16% of Fantasy Premier League managers while 1.9% of the top 10,000 have captained the goalkeeper.

However, the rest of Burnley’s defence can be considered differential figures for the visit to Crystal Palace.

7.1% possess Ben Mee (£5.0m) worldwide while 3.2% are invested by James Tarkowski (£5.3m).

Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) is absent from the matchday squad once again, allowing for Erik Pieters (£4.3m) to continue his run at left-back.

Matthew Lowton (£4.5m) could do well against Palace’s (and Fulham’s) weak left flank but is only owned by 3.0% of Fantasy managers.

Chris Wood (£6.2m) joins Taylor on the sidelines with his hamstring injury, while Matej Vydra (£4.8m) has picked up a similar problem, so misses out as well.

That means Jay Rodriguez (£5.8m) partners with Ashley Barnes (£6.0m) up-front today.

Crystal Palace are without Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) for the second Premier League match in a row.

Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) is on the left flank of midfield while Jordan Ayew (£5.6m) is in the other winger role in support of Christian Benteke (£5.5m) and Michy Batshuayi (£5.7m).

Meanwhile, Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) occupies the left-back role and keeps Tyrick Mitchell (£3.9m) on the bench.

Double Gameweek 24 Line-ups

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Kouyaté, Clyne; Eze, Riedewald, Milivojevic, Ayew; Benteke, Batshuayi.

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Cork, Westwood, Gudmundsson; Rodriguez, Barnes.

Double Gameweek 24 so far…

James Maddison (£7.4m), Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) got the goals for Leicester as they executed an impressive second-half comeback to beat Liverpool 3-1 on Saturday lunch-time.

The latter looks set to emerge from the King Power Stadium with the most impressive tally as he recorded a goal and an assist, putting him in the running for two bonus points.

It was bad news for owners of Liverpool defenders as Ozan Kabak‘s (£5.0m) debut ended in disaster. Goalkeeper Alisson (£5.9m) collided with him in the 81st minute, allowing Vardy to convert into an open net.

With goals for Maddison (15.2%-owned) and Vardy (14.8%), the fact that Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) also found the net means the Fantasy masses are likely to be content with the way Double Gameweek 24 has begun.

The Egyptian is owned by 42.7% of managers worldwide, although was not considered a big part of the captaincy by the highest-performing managers.

Just 0.5% of the top 10k handed him the armband this week, a total of nine players receiving more attention in that department, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m)

    Lowton was mentioned here at the "Spot the differential". I did and he was on my BB draft. Without Antonio being injury doubt... This game is so damn easy with hindsight.

      Last week

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      the data was there....

      I didnt expect a goal, but was expecting some good forward runs

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

        Also the eye test. He’s looked more attacking the last few

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

          Yeah, he was very adventurous in the Brighton game.

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

      If he was, he'd have brought him in as well. Bought Mee instead...

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

    As expected from Pep.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cheeky

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He been charged for fraud yet?

  10. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Cancelo starting apparently
    Dias benched

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

    oh Dias

  12. MMN
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Does Lowton have better attacking stats than the other 3 Burnley defenders?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Has by far the worst

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

      Nope. He's just a cheaper ticket.

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1 goal 1 assist in the last 3 FPL seasons.

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Vs Brighton he actually had.

  13. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dias benched ?

  14. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why the fu*k have you benched Dias Pep?!!!!! God I despise him

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Recovering from illness?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He trained though no?! Pathetic

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

    I would love a Dias benching

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

      You've got 2 wishes left

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Really should be, let's hope it actually is

  16. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Starting Son now a wiser decision if Dias is benched. Destroyed Laporte last time, unfortunately.

    1. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have both Dias and Son and i’m hoping for a Son brace now. Have Stones too but with everyone getting rid or benching Son he’ll be a massive differential this week... almost as much as Lowton who I also have.

  17. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Roy's fault for not playing Mitchell again 😉

  18. Collie01

    Confirmed Dias benched.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

  19. JELLYFISH

  20. Captain_Shirokov

  21. Duke Silver ☑

      Sterling on the right

      With Jesus in a 4-3-3.

      Cancelo stays on the right in the lob sided formation. Switching to 3-4-3.
