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.

    Watkins to Dennis (-4) Yes or No?

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No, Watkins likely to have a DGW23 and Dennis only SGW this week

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Other than that though, good plan, yeah?

          No, Villa's fixtures after this week are amazing.

            Joking mate…

    2. Boz

      Nah hits aren't worth the risk

  2. Big Ping

    Hi guys, James>Robbo , Son>Jota, or both for a -4 this week?

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

      -4 pays for itself since the james/son aren't playing but if you own Trent it's an extra transfer to remove one for Salah

  3. Chris_White
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A) Cucurella (Keep Salah)

    B) Maupay (Keep Son)

  4. Hooky
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Lennon (TC) no longer an option?

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Could be in a few weeks though

  5. zes
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hassenhuttel has completely lost his mind. Should be fined for bringing the game into disrepute at this point, what he's saying is tantamount to accusing clubs of match fixing

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Have you got the quotes?

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Well maybe the wording can be whatever but he has a point. This clearly taints the integrity of the competition more over with January signings. Shameful really.

    3. Black Knights
      • 12 Years

      I don't really get why he's mad. His match vs Newcastle isn't the only game that ever got postponed. OK Newcastle can buy players now but it's not much different to teams getting players back from bans or suspensions for a rearrangement that they may originally have missed.

      What do we do, say 'your first choice GK was injured in December so he can't play now that he's fit for the rearrangement in April' or 'your CDM should've served a suspension against us but now that he's served it against someone else, he still shouldn't play against us'.

    3 DGWers, 1FT & 2.2ITB:

    1. EL tridente
      • 6 Years

      A. Easy to switch back

  7. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Haha did Son to Maddison last night to avoid a price change that didn't happen. I cba man, gonna go grab a drink

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yh I did the same for a hit

    2. Gunners in Haaland

      Cheers

      Could be worse, could be on the Wall!

    4. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      still making early transfers!

    5. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Literally only have yourself to blame. Anyone who makes transfers before 1 hour before deadline is just being silly at this point, sorry.

      1. Junglist95
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Some people have lives

        1. Sterling Archer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          But hes actually said he did it so avoid a price change, nothing about being busy at deadline

          1. Jon Snow
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Price rise plus deadline on a busy fri eve and both press conferences went ahead. didn't think it was a completely stupid move

        2. Sun God Nika
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          no one has lives if they play fpl

          eat. sleep. FPL. repeat.

      2. Jon Snow
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Ironically i normally wait last minute, was even caught out by the server shenanigans a few weeks ago. Can't seem to get it right!

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I did too but honestly it's still not a bad move, not like you moved out someone that was fit or going to play

    7. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Still a good a move anyway. Son is not playing anytime soon and LEI have 4 fixtures to be rearranged

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

    Thank God at least Gray is fine.

  9. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I've reached the stage where I'm considering Mac Allister...

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Gary?

  10. marpy016
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Given the state of the the GW (thus far) would you play this 11 and roll 1FT?

    DDG

    Cancelo - Reg - TAA

    Jota - Bowen - Foden - Gray

    Antonio - Kane - Dennis

    Sanchez - Keane - Johnson - Son

    1. kempc23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely. Team in great shape. (K)ane?

      1. marpy016
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, seems the sensible option

        Yep (K)ane indeed, but will consider Dennis if not guaranteed of a double

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          i still think even if he plays only Newcastle he could still haul

  11. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Triple game week is so passé let’s see that quadruple gw. I want to TC Maddison and get 130 points.

  12. Junglist95
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison to Bruno for a hit?

    Why not?

    Season is a joke. I jumped early tbf so have a laugh and punt???

    Leicester not the best fixtures coming up tbh

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Maddison he can do well against most teams

      1. Junglist95
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        They also have FOUR matches tbp too in fairness!

  13. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi all..crazy times....if Ronaldo out / doubtful, thoughts on:

    Son and Ronaldo to Bruno (c) Watkins  - 4

    Watkins might have a double in gw23....

    Ddg (rams)
    Taa cancelo alonso (diop alonso)
    Foden jota bowen gray (son)
    Antonio broja (Ronaldo)

    Thanks

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Big punt on Bruno.

      He has the track record.

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

    How likely is NLD postponement?

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      We'll find out at Mikel's presser.

  15. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Guaita Foster
    Cancelo Reguilon Coufal Livramento Alonso
    Son Bowen Gundogan Brownhill Odegaard
    Ronaldo Antonio DCL

    What to do boys? I have 2 FT, WC, BB and TC.

  16. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    DDG
    Cancelo, TAA, Reguilon, Johnson
    KDB, Bilva, Jota, Bowen,
    Watkins, Antonio

    Bachmann, Son, Davis, Livramento

    Is it worth going with this team and having 2FTs next GW or go for a -4 and replace Son and Davis with someone like Moura and King/Dennis? (benching Watkins)

  17. james 101
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    So, given the total mess the week is now in…!

    Who are you currently capping / vice-capping?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ronaldo I think

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        That’s who I’m on now. But no idea if he will play two. Or even one!

      2. EL tridente
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Bruno

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Nice. Risky. But nice!

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

      seriously no idea and need to lock it in soon as i'm not getting up at 5am for deadline tomorrow (AU time)

      half tempted by Trent!

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Trent or Bowen are not bad calls.

        Or Jota.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Salah cap!

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Lol

    4. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      We should reset the captain poll!

    5. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ronaldo(c)/Bowen(vc)

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Nice. Could reverse it if any more news on Ron

    6. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Any votes for Mount?

  18. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    DDG - Bachmann

    TAA - Cancelo - Dawson - White - Livramento

    Jota - Maddison - Gundogan - Bowen - Raphinha

    Ronaldo - Antonio - Broja

    4.0 ITB, annoyingly did Son to Maddison this morning, would you -4 to bring anyone else in or leave it as it is?

  19. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    DDG
    ALONSO Cancelo Taa Coufal
    Jota Foden Bowen Gray
    KING Antonio
    (Foster Watkins Salah Livra)

    3 DGWers, 1FT & 2.2ITB:

    1) Salah > Bruno
    2) Antonio > Dennis
    3) Salah & Antonio > Mount & Ronaldo (-4)

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      1

    2. Dee Lixon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      1

  20. NotsoSpursy
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which one for -4? Not much on my bench

    A) Antonio -> Kane
    B) Foden -> Bruno
    C) Save

    I have Ron

    1. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A

  21. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    DCL, Johnson, Son -> Trossard, Robbo, Dennis (-8)?

  22. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Brighton or Spurs defence?

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs

  23. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    lol I did Son to Maddison just today as I thought I’d be out the entire day

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I don’t see the concern, he’s a great pick in any case

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Put your stab vest on_Brutal in 'ere!

  24. Thewoodyhorse
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    So after days of juggling the Watkins or Antonio for Dennis quandary, I can see me doing Kane for Dennis in the end

  25. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    With Burnley news, is Watkins -> Dennis (-4) still good options?
    Thanks.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Might only have a SGW

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      i would not get rid of watkins - short term or mid term personally

  26. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If Arsenal don't request a postponement by 6.25pm today, Ronaldo to Kane (c) I think will be the move. Arsenal decimated and Kane set to play two teams he regularly scores against

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Still defend well, will keep Kane away

  27. Junks
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Am i mad to consider just holding and rolling the FT with this lot....?

    1FT 1.4ITB
    Ramsdale
    TAA Alonso Cancelo Nouri
    Saka Foden Bowen Moura
    Watkins Antonio

    Foster / Duffy / Pukki / Salah

    Alternatively Pukki to Dennis seems the right move (even if Watford have only one fixture) but would have to start Dennis and who to drop for him?

  28. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son to (C) Bruno?

  29. Sun God Nika
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    brining in Bruno as a punt is luring me into a dangerous rabbit hole which ill prob regret

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bringing*

    2. ksmith5666
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      At least that move puts the value in place to move to Salah when he is back, plus he has a double this week and may be playing at the top of the diamond, if Raniek sticks to that. I'm considering this at the moment, Son -> Bruno

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        yep that is very true, i also think if we get a ronaldo confirmed out news, it will make this transfer even more appealing

    3. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I am in the same boat but would cost a hit. If no hit involved then I would deffo be tempted.

  30. aree036
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Latest from Arsenal is they are NOT planning to request a postponement for Sunday as things stand

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      top lads, better flipping start esr then
