Wood on target again as Burnley’s bargain brigade continue their charge

Fulham 0-2 Burnley

  • Goals: Ashley Westwood (£5.3m), Chris Wood (£6.4m)
  • Assists: Matej Vydra (£4.8m), Josh Brownhill (£4.9m)
  • Bonus: James Tarkowski (£5.3m) x3, Westwood, Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) x2

The curtain finally fell on Fulham’s return to the Premier League as perennial survivors Burnley ran out 2-0 victors at Craven Cottage with Fantasy Premier League (FPL) differential striker Chris Wood (£6.4m) delivering the coup de grâce just before half-time.

LEADS LIKE LEEDS

The Clarets were already a goal to the good thanks to an opener from Ashley Westwood (£5.3m) delivered in a style favoured by their weekend visitors, Leeds United.

Matt Lowton (£4.4m) launched a long diagonal out of defence for Matej Vydra (£4.8m) to chase down on the left and the Czech striker made space deftly before cutting the ball back to Westwood driving into the box to sweep it home.

Diego Llorente (£4.4m), Jack Harrison (£5.4m) and Stuart Dallas (£5.2m) would have recognised the blueprint.

The clinching goal, from former Leeds striker Wood, was lanced into the top corner on the volley after his initial touch had been deflected out of his path only for Josh Brownhill (£4.9m) to return it neatly into his stride.

Co-commentator Don Goodman echoed what many FPL managers will have been thinking and noticed over recent weeks:

You just know that Chris Wood, at the least, is going to hit the target here. At the very least.

NOT CAUGHT RED-HANDED

The 4.6% of managers with Alphonse Areola (£4.5m) in their squads could scarcely have believed their luck as the Fulham goalkeeper survived a dreaded VAR review for what looked like a clear case of handling outside his area in the second half as he came out to challenge Vydra heading the ball beyond him.

Officials deemed that a covering defender prevented the chance from being a clear goal scoring opportunity and the red card stayed in the referee’s pocket.

DON’T LOOK BACK ANGUISSA

On the night, Fulham’s need to cling to a slim chance of avoiding relegation drove them to 21 attempts on goal, seven more than Burnley, but the closest they came to a consolation was an 18-yarder from André-Frank Zambo Anguissa (£4.4m) that thumped down off the crossbar late on and bounced away to preserve the clean sheet of the game’s most popular FPL asset, Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope (£5.5m).

Anguissa’s five attempts on the night matched Wood while fellow midfielder Ademola Lookman (£4.8m) managed four as did early season FPL favourite Aleksandar Mitrović (£5.5m) whose quartet of efforts inside the box came to nothing.

No Burnley player besides Wood managed more than two shots on goal. Mitrović summed up the season for his club:

Overall we have finished where we deserve to be. We did not show the big character, big mentality and we cracked under the pressure. We tried, we fought, we worked hard but we needed more quality on the ball. We got punished today and this season.

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrović

Chance creation was more even with Fulham mustering 15 to Burnley’s 11. Most of Fulham’s openings were created by Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m) who managed six or Antonee Robinson (£4.4m) with three while the visitors shared the work across almost the entire side and fashioned the only three big chances of the encounter.

BIG CHANCE BONUSES

One of those was credited to James Tarkowski (£5.3m) and that helped him clear of his defensive colleagues to claim all three bonus points with Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) claiming two with a big chance created of his own.

First goal scorer Westwood joined him on two with Pope edged out by one BPS and Chris Wood some way back despite his impressive strike.

With their fate now finally decided, Fulham’s attacking assets may yet relax and take some of their crop of chances against the unimpressive defences of Southampton and Newcastle United in their remaining games.

Wood continues to look as if he could score against anyone and everyone. Leeds and Liverpool are the final visitors to Turf Moor this campaign and both are tidy at the back but capable of lapses.

Burnley’s own defence is also looking somewhat returned to its usual reliable form, but we believe it will be the exploits of Wood that lead to ever-heavier investment from FPL managers as Burnley’s final-day visit to Sheffield United approaches.

    Wilson out for the run-in....would have been a nice differential.

      Feel for the guy, can't catch a break.

      Lots of options for the last few weeks in the cheap bracket at least.

    2. Igz08

      agreed

    3. acidicleo

      will they be on the beach now relegation battle is over?

    4. Bob_the_builder
      • 7 Years

      This is really sad. Hope he makes a swift comeback

    5. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, really gutted for him.
      Especially as he seems to genuinely enjoy his football.
      His post match interview after Leicester was lovely to watch.

      Hope he's able to make a swift recovery.

      And I also hope that DCL/Bamford/Antonio do him proud repping the mid-priced FWD camp!

    Article putting me off doubling on Leeds defenders this week 😛

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      next 2 games are away, so I wouldnt double up.

      1. Igz08
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Being talked into Dallas but already have Ayling. Wonder if Keane a better replacement for Castagne

        1. matiakez
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I've got Ayling to, its a bit of a quandary. Dallas is just so attacking though, think ill get him in 37 and maybe bench fodder Ayling.

          1. Igz08
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            also kinda risky not having dallas i guess. but keane has a goal in him me thinks

            1. matiakez
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              I keep thinking Ayling will get something at some point as well

              1. Igz08
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                He’s got the numbers. Turns out Keane scored vs Wolves in the return fixture hmm

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Bit of a home and away distinction with Burnley

      Last 6 at home - scored 5
      Last 6 away - scored 11

      They are beasts away - less so at home on form. That said Wood is on fire.

  4. Boly Would
    • 7 Years

    Quiet morning, so started on the FH plan for gw36;

    Fabianski
    TAA / Digne / Dallas
    Salah / Son / Mahrez / Raphinha
    Kane / DCL / Antonio

    Forster / Eze / Stones / Mitchell

    Areas of concern are a Mahrez cameo, and double Spurs - do I stick to just one of Kane or Son?

    Cheers

    1. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nice.
      I'm on WC, so not dissimilar situ. Really tempted by Mahrez as a diff, but it's Pep isn't it!
      I like your team. No key assets missing.
      Eze is a fun diff if Mahrez doesn't show too.
      Good thing about Pep this season is he is doing a lot of 'full-90 or nothing' - which really helps from an FPL pov.

  5. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mount, Maguire, Nacho -> Antonio, Raphina, Dallas (-8)?

    This is to field 10 players... No playing GK

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't do 8 point hit, drop the defender and do a 4 point hit.

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Agree. Keep Maguire.

  6. focaccia
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Need to find 0.1 to fund Nacho > Bamford. Should I do:

    A) Maddison > Foden
    B) Maddison > Raphina
    C) Veltman > Alioski

    1. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’d go with B

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Foden

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    4. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    5. The Knights Template

      B

  7. Jambot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Going to do 2 of these 3 transfers. Which 2?

    A) Saiss > Digne
    B) Vardy/Nacho > Bamford
    C) Vardy/Nacho > Antonio

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B and C

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years

        This

    2. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers both

  8. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I was thinking of keeping Bruno, but now I am thinking that most probably he'll only get one game in the next 3 gameweeks. Is it wort it to keep a premium player who plays only once in the next 3 instead of getting another premium player(most probably Kane or Son) who surely plays thrice in the next 3? What are your thoughts?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Agreed. Got rid last week (played FH this week) and not have for the rest of the season.

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depends on your team. I have 11 good options for 36. Planning to bench Bruno and play him vs Fulham in 37.

    3. matiakez
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Think im getting rid, the Fulham game is scary but there's other options that week.

      1. matiakez
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Should say though I am keeping Greenwood.

    4. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I am keeping for Fulham and then selling for a City player last GW (I do have Son however).

    5. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yep swapping for Son is the plan

  9. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else find its actually a bit of welcome relief that games are right up to the next deadline?

    Means it's a bit of wasted energy tinkering and torturing myself with indecision until the games are played...

      • 11 Years

      This season has been mentally draining and isn't over yet. I've a serious mini league that I'm trying to win and every point will count. Exhausting.

      1. Nedvěd11
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        This

  10. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like Maddison won’t play.

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah. He's been doing that a lot recently boss 😉

            Yes?

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      And he shouldn't. Has been poor ever since he has come back. In fact Perez was much better and Leicester were more free scoring when he was playing. Maddison back has halted Leicester a bit.

      1. Brimble82
        • 5 Years

        THIS

      Good good

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Need Vardy to put away a few chances tonight.

      1. Brimble82
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Assisted by Nacho and I'm all in!

    5. JJeyy
      • 8 Years

      advantage LCFC

    6. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Benched or out of the squad ??

  11. focaccia
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    bench Jota or Lingard?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Jota

    2. matiakez
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Lingaard if Jota gets a rest tonight

      1. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Jota guaranteed a rest tonight!

    3. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Jota - Brighton's backline is weakened.

    4. justaguy9
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      u really can afford to bench anyone? I will need to take atleast 2 hits to put full team

      1. focaccia
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lucky I guess... Team, if you're interested, is:

        Martinez
        Veltman - Dallas - TAA
        Son - Salah (C) - Lingard - Raphina
        Kane (v) - DCL - Bamford

        subs: Forster - Jota - AWB - Rudiger

    5. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Play both

      1. focaccia
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        see team above - it's tricky

        1. justaguy9
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          probably bench raphinha- coming back from injury

  12. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Meslier
    TAA, Coufal, Coleman
    Salah, Son, Zaha, Lingard
    Wood, Kane

    Non-players: Holding, Rüdiger, Bruno, Iheanacho

    A. Holding to Philips
    B. Play with 10 men, save ft

    1. Nedvěd11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      2 points for 1 FT - Worth it?

      I would hold...

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years

        Cheers, mate!

  13. justaguy9
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    any chance rashford starts today?

    1. Tango74
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I doubt it , the leaked lineup on Twitter , take it with pinch of salt

      Henderson
      Williams Bailly Tuanzebe Telles
      Matic McTominay
      Amad Mata DonnyVDB
      Greenwood

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        No way this is true.

        1. Tango74
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Hopefully not as I have triple but then again this was Game he would rotate heavily on

          1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            But not at this rate, amad definitely not gonna start, he may come out from the bench. I think cavani will start upfront greenwood in place of amad there. Rest looks believable.

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Bruno on bench ?

              1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                Yeah even though he is my tc I am prepared for the benching 🙁

                1. Stranger Mings
                  • 3 Years
                  2 years, 10 months ago

                  Benching ok if comes on

                  1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
                    • 6 Years
                    2 years, 10 months ago

                    Yeah happy with a one pointer, at least 3 more and will play against pools for sure.

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Why not? I don't think it's completely unbelievable or anything.

          1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Will amad start? I don't think.

      2. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        James injury is a boon for greenwood owners.

      3. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cavani for greenwood possibly but we'll find out soon for sure

        1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          My gut feeling is that greenwood may start again as he was hooked on about 60 last day. So cavani greenwood today and rashford greenwood against pools.

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I think if Greenwood starts today then he's benched against Liverpool, Cavani bench today again and starts vs Liverpool.

        2. justaguy9
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          by the looks of it, greenwood will probably start. should have just c him instead of rashford. dont have bruno.

  14. Assisting the assister
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Vardy+Nacho to which two?

    A. Kane
    B. Bamford
    C. Wood
    D. Wilson

    1. justaguy9
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      AC-

      Wilson is out for season

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks - yep sounds good

  15. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So what are your bets on utd lone up guys?

    Mine is mata and vdb to definitely start. Cavani may also. Also greenwood may also start. Mata bruno role vdb and greenwood wing cavani upfront.

  16. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Would you take a -8 hit to field 11 players (including Forster)?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not if it involves a defender

    2. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I might since the minus 4 is really a minus 2 as opposed to minus 6. If it helps set you up for the run in it could be worth it.

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      no.

    4. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years

      Thinking about it as it justifies it slightly to field 11 - especially if players incoming will stay for the run in

        Boo what a waste when I could of picked and defender below him 🙁

      Could be plenty of goals in this one.

    Who is this Chris Taylor mentioned in the article above?!

    1. Brimble82

      Think I went to school with him.
      He was pretty good at woodwork I seem to recall

        Good old Chippy Taylor!

          Solid lad.

      Gah

      Castagne inside - not great for defence let alone the loss of attacking returns. That Evans injury has blown that transfer out of the water.

  22. DB_00

    Who’s better for the run-in? Foden or Raphinha

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Raph

    2. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Raphina surely purely due to minutes (and frankly great fixtures)

    3. Nedvěd11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hinha

    4. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      tough. Foden could outscore him in 120 minutes over the next 3. Raph has the security of starts, obviously

    5. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Think it's closer than most suspect.

      I'm seeing Foden starting twice. He also has 4 double digits on the season to just the one from Raph. Certainly think he's the upside call.

      On points per minute he is definitely way ahead. It's just whether the probable extra game for Raph counts heavily.

      Are u feeling ok? Do you need meds -)))

      I'm an owner and waiting on this feast for weeks now. Just nibbles the last day .

      I may be in the minority here, but I enjoy these posts, NC.
      Bit of harmless and (obviously self-aware) silly fun.
      But let’s have a Vardy (and Bruno) blank today and save that FEAST for Mo’s Thursday match!

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Exactly! Somebody gets it

  24. 2OLEgend

    Mendy -> Fabianski (-4)

    Yay or Nay?

    1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Na

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Have thought about it too.
      Right now hoping McCarthy plays next SOU match and Forster might start GW 36.
      But even if Forster looks unlikely, may roll keeper less for 36.

  25. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Greenwood to start again today??

    1. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      We'll see in 3 hours

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Would imagine so . But if did play the whole game against Roma.

    3. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      90% yes. He was rested early last game. He will probably start and play 60 minutes.

  26. Tomerick
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How about this for a FH draft?

    Pickford
    TAA, Digne, Dallas
    Salah, Bale, Mahrez, Jota
    Kane, DCL, Wood

    Forster, Stones, White, Anguissa

    Would you start Stones over anyone else there?

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Like it a lot - huge upside if it fires

      In a way the one I doubt most is Jota but not sure who I'd pop in there.

      1. Tomerick
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks for your thoughts. Yeah I think I’ll give this a shot. You think maybe play Stones over Jota?

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I'd be reluctant to.

          Newcastle scoring against City would be much less against known form than 6/7 matches ago.

          1. Tomerick
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks

    Looks like Maddison benched tonight.........I bought him in three GWs ago and has got to be the worse transfer I made all season.........Shocking.......truly shocking

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      could have worked out. I suppose his fitness/injury wasn't where it needed to be. To be fair, I did say that about Bale when I bought him before the Villa game, lost 0.4 on him until he finally returned when Mou was sacked.

      But with Lei fixtures I'd ditch. He could return tonight against a young United team off the bench

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        You really held Bale all the way through? Great work that if so.

  28. Kryptonite666

    Will hopefully Cut the ML lead to 25 points by end of ML.

    Any suggestions on making up this lead in 3 weeks ?

      El ghazi at palace could be a differential depending on villas injuries

    Is Watkins available for Everton? I see he has not been flagged red.

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He is red flagged for the next GW...

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years

      1 game ban, just misses 2nd game of double

    3. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Assume he’s not flagged bc available for GW36 (not Thursday), which is the next time a decision about playing/acquiring him would be necessary.

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        OK I thought perhaps the red card decision had been rescinded.

    Actually 3 players are playing today with tc but I may get Oly one that too without tc 🙂
