Double Gameweek 22 match between Burnley and Leicester postponed

Burnley and Leicester City will now only have a ‘single’ Gameweek at best after the Premier League confirmed on Friday that Saturday’s match between the two clubs has been postponed.

This time it was the Clarets who submitted a postponement application due to a number of injuries and Covid-19 cases within their first-team squad.

Sean Dyche’s side are, of course, also scheduled to be in action next Tuesday against Watford, so it remains to be seen whether the situation at Turf Moor has improved sufficiently for that fixture to go ahead.

Leicester’s one and only Gameweek 22 match is now at home to Tottenham Hotspur next Wednesday.

This latest postponement means that Burnley and Leicester now each have four outstanding league fixtures to rearrange, with the Foxes’ Gameweek 27 match against Chelsea now needing to be rescheduled due to the Blues qualifying for the EFL Cup final on the same weekend.

    Since plan anyways is to bring back Mo likely for 24, thinking of going safety first.

    Son --> Bruno (if CR7 is confirmed out)
    CR7 --> Maupay
    Ramsdale --> DDG

    Will be for a -8 but with Ramsdale/Foster, I potentially have no GK.

    This DGW is already a doubtful mess.

      Fplstatistics is absolutely fine, you just need to learn

      a) Don't make early transfers this season, that should be obvious by now

      b) Price change websites can be affected heavily when WC's are in use, everyone has just got their second Wild Card so take into account a lot will be using theirs. Transfers made on a WC mess up the players bought in/price rise ratio

    I can't see NLD being played, and Burnley - Watford in risk now.
    0 FTs and 4.9 ITB
    2 FH's and TC left.

    Just field this team?

    Will probably just do Son to Bruno. And then Easy switch when Salah is back
