Key Fantasy Angles:
- Early fixtures are brutal: four of the first six opponents finished in the top seven last season.
- Mid-season offers breathing room and budget-friendly rotation potential.
- Gameweeks 18 to 21 include Everton, Newcastle (twice), and Brighton — targetable for defensive and midfield returns.
Draft Strategy Tips:
- Avoid Burnley defenders early; it’s open season for opposing attackers.
- Monitor forwards vs Sunderland (GW2) and Leeds (GW8) — great streamable options.
- From GW13 onwards, Burnley could be sneaky value with a run of Fulham, Bournemouth, Everton, Palace.
Scott Parker might be the first manager to be judged off his old clubs, with early ties to Fulham and Bournemouth looming in December. But it’s Burnley’s torrid opening spell that raises alarms: away to Spurs, United, City and Villa all before Halloween. Survival hopes rest on turning Turf Moor into a fortress — and sneaking results in the winnable middle third. If they’re still alive by Christmas, the Clarets could turn spoiler late. Get past GW10, and fantasy managers may want to look again at bargain Burnley picks.
