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.

  2. james 101

    One minute of silence to maddison new owner for prioritizing gaining money over further information.

    Well, it turned up his price has'nt rise either. Lol

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Ok mate, we get it

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

      What about us who got him 3 GWs ago…

      It’s gone well

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

        "New owner"

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 2 months ago

            "what about"

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

              Well played

      2. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        You feel better now?

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

          Nah its just make me laugh, as we know this game is about patience.

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

            The game is absolutely not about patience it's about calculated risk. Those moving early may have been locked out of the Maddison move if they didn't move early. The risk backfired for them this time, but it wasn't a stupid move. Players who sit on their hands take different risks i.e. not building value and being locked out of moves. You jsut don't see the bigger picture

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

        Still a good player to own so no need to be downhearted about it at all.

      4. Dammit_182
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        In fairness the sites were showing son drop madders rise last night so I get you. Spurs at home is ok fixture mind.

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

        We have to prioritise in life. Sometimes it goes in our favour; sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it leads us to reasess our goals and priorities. New questions arise like, 'What do I really want?', or 'Why am I posting this aggro shite on a shite fantasy site?'

      6. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Well, at this stage Maddy will score more points than Son this week

    3. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Trossard or Mount?

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

        Mount

      2. Harvey_27
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        probably Mount, but maybe worth looking at your mini league opponents and see what they've got via FPL Live or FPL Gameweek and then deciding whether you want a sword or a shield

    4. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Would you do this for -8?

      Keane, Salah, Son >> Lamptey, Bruno, KDB

      Leaves this:
      DDG
      TAA Cancelo Dias Lamptey
      Jota Bruno KDB Bowen
      Watkins Antonio

      Foster Edouard Livra Brownhill

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

        KDB could be gold this next 3 or 4. If it's your gut feeling, do it!

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

      Folks. What about Greenwood as an option?

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

        He's looked terrible the last few games as has Rashford - I wouldn't

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

          No worse that Bruno has looked all season tho and a lot going Bruno all of a sudden

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

            Might thrive now and on pens too if Ronaldo out

          2. The Reptile
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            you're not wrong, no Manu players look any good really - its all becoming a bit (more) of a lottery with all these postponements - is that on FH or transfer/hits?

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

              I’m thinking Son and Antonio to Greenwood and Kane(C) for -4

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

                I have Son & Ant, I was going to FH but don't think I will now - what if you get Kane in and Ars game is postponed? WH could do well V Leeds - maybe just get rid of Son

    6. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'm captaining De Gea now. At least we know (think!) he'll play two games...

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

        Good point!

      2. WHITE HORSES
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I am between De Gea and Rudiger for C two.
        Also have Dennis but now when Burnley - Watford game is in danger I am moving C from Dennis to De Gea or Rudiger.

    7. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Would you do Antonio to Dennis after the Bur postponement news which put into danger Watford's second fixture?

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

        Maupaaayyyy!,,,

    8. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Salah to Bruno or KDB?

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Bruno for the double, easy swap in 23 to KDB for his fixture run

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

          this

      2. tibollom
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        im tempted to keep salah now as only 2 gw to miss

      3. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Pondering over this myself.

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

          pondering keeping salah or swaping with kdb/bruno?

    9. jimmywales1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      What's the latest on Ronaldo? Got him in with a FH, but can't decide on whether it's risking to captain over Kane.

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Seems a doubt for the Villa game after picking up a fresh injury in training

        1. Salan
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Any source? Thanks.

      I remember considering BB22

      Good ol' days

      So young and naive...

      1. FPL ElasticO
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        You'll be happy to have a bench this GW, nevermind BB...

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

          all i see is reds and yellows on my bench yikesss

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

        The last month has basically been a stream of "team looks great, might roll a transfer here" gradually descending into " I can 11 with a -8 if Tino is fit"

    11. FPL ElasticO
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I have some concerns with my team... With all the postponement happening and more to follow this GW? Any advice what to do with this team? Will you FH or take hits?

      Ramsdale / Foster
      TAA / Cancelo / Dawson / Livramento* / Duffy*
      Salah* / Son* / Silva / Bowen / Jota
      Dennis / Antonio / Davis*

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

        id take a hit mate...

    12. andre_c
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Best midfield option under 8.3$ (not Bowen, Gray?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Maddison and Jota, still

        1. FPL ElasticO
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Why Maddison? Now LEI has a single game this week....

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

        Mount?

      3. Harvey_27
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Jota or Mount

    13. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Really isn’t the worst for new madddison owners.

      Brighton assets have blanks. Spurs could have 2nd game off too. Man United stink. Chelsea have tough games. Watford could have 2nd game off

      Not as if there’s a load of other FPL teams massively better placed now because of the news. Maddison also has 4 games that need rescheduled

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Did Son --> Maddi this night, in order to avoid a non existent price rise... but if the fixture vs BUR would have been already postponed I could have gone Moura or even Mount. Or never transferred Son out honestly.

      2. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Maddison was only good for the DGW as far as I'm concerned.

        1. Gooner97
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I have this feeling too, kinda of a wasted trasnfer 🙁

      3. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Decent fixture in GW23 as well

    14. No Salah
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Play Dalot ( AVL, BRE )
      Or Cancelo ( CHE )

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        How can you prefer a piece of wood instead of one of the best players in the league, if not in the world, right now?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          2 games v 1 game presumably? In theory as never know with Dalot playing 2 games ...

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

          Dalot is not that good:)

      2. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I'm going for Dalot. I'm even playing Telles ahead of Cancelo. YOLO!

      a. james + ESR to Cucurella + mount for -4

      Would you still buy Dennis on free hit now Burnley could be off?

      Thanks.

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        One of the few hot and delivering strikers in the game, so yes.

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years

        No

    19. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Best James replacement for this GW?

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

        Rudi. Alonso.

        If you mean Chelsea

      2. FPL ElasticO
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I will not transfer Chelsea defenders.... tough fixtures & upcoming blanks

      3. CelticBhoy1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Got Alonso. Can be from any DGW team

      4. Miniboss
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Think I'll go Alonso. Blanks incoming but I think he'll finally haul this dgw.

    20. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ronaldo Bernardo > Dennis KDB, madness right? For -4 btw.

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        not at all good moves with a long term potential

    21. CrouchDown
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Kenedy to start at LWB for Chelsea?

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

        Doubt it straight away but seems odd that Alonso was on the bench vs Spurs and didnt play at all in the FA Cup game

      2. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Unlikely

      3. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        NO chance. Barely played for Flamenco. Said to be going out on further loan in Chelsea chat rooms. If he did play would be in FA Cup or few minutes as bench filler, but seems unlikely.

    22. balint84
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Kane or Dennis?

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

      Best midfielder under 10m?

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Jota, Bowen & Foden

    24. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I still have Foden and Bilva. Currently playing both. Would you bench one of them and play Dawson (LEE) instead?

      1. FPL ElasticO
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        No

    25. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Does Dyche have a press conference still?

    26. Tinmen
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Which one would you opt for in my position guys?

      A) Son and Antonio to Greenwood and Kane(C) -4

      B) Son to Bruno (C)

      DDG
      Trent Cancelo Coufal
      Jota Son Bernardo Bowen
      King Antonio Ronaldo

      Foster Saka Williams Livra

      1. Forcella Boys
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Was looking at the same transfers tbh, I am chasing so thinking of going Kane & Greenwood but the NLD game potentially being off worries me.

        what does the game getting called off have to do with it?

          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Because then I have no bench just as how is written
