Re: Fantasy Football - I've just triple captained Richarleson
Always a tough call to captain a player against Burnley. I brought Son back in this week and had him at captain but then thought how annoyed I’d be if he scored and went for Calvert Lewis instead.
Richarlison could be a good differential.

We’re too many players ‘touch and go’. Dyche has probably done the right thing in saving them for the next three.
