On the back of a disappointing 2018/19 Premier League campaign with diabolical fantasy returns, the Burnley side is predicted to produce a better display this season. With no European football to haunt their travels, Chris Wood (£6.5m), Ashley Barnes (£6.5m) and Nick Pope (£4.5m) should be back on FPL managers' radar. But with a tough run of fixtures to start their season, the Clarets are one of the riskier investments.

Another inconsistent fantasy team in Southampton visit the Turf Moor in gameweek 1, which is the only straightforward fixture. Away games to Arsenal and Wolves, with a home fixture against Liverpool in gameweek 4 do not bode well for the players. Burnley did not win any of the corresponding opening 4 fixtures last season, with 3 losses (Arsenal, Wolves & Liverpool) and 1 draw (Burnley) scoring 4 goals while conceding 9.

You can definitely hop on to any in-form Burnley assets once their fixtures turn from gameweek 5 when they travel to Brighton. From GW5 to GW14, Sean Dyche's men play only one top-six side. This run of fixtures is promising enough for 17/18 FPL warrior Nick Pope who should cement his place in goal with the departure of Tom Heaton (£4.5m) to Aston Villa.
