Pogba absent as Man United travel to face Burnley

Paul Pogba (£8.4m) has not travelled to Burnley for Manchester United’s Gameweek 20 match.

The Frenchman has made substitute appearances in both of the last two outings but will not feature at all this time around.

Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst has reported that Pogba’s absence is due to the tight turnaround between matches, especially tricky for him considering his long spell on the sidelines through injury.

Gameweek 19 goal-scorer Mason Greenwood (£4.3m) finds himself back on the bench after a rare start against Burnley, while Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) and Anthony Martial (£7.8m) feature in the starting XI once again.

Meanwhile, Burnley have gone with a full-strength side despite playing on Boxing Day.

Ashley Barnes (£6.2m) and Chris Wood (£6.2m) lead the line although Nick Pope (£4.7m) is the key Fantasy asset, owned by 14% of managers.

Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; A Barnes, Wood.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Williams, Maguire, Lindelöf, Young; Matic, Fred; Rashford, A Pereira, D James; Martial.

    Martial messing up the attack by passing to Lingard in a great position.

  7. Eleven Hag

    Aurrier + Alli + Tammy ➡ TAA + Martial + DCL/Muapay ??

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Can you keep Alli?

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

      Can you do it without taking a hit?

  9. Grounderz

    Any news/ speculations why Pogba didn’t make to the game?

    1. Skalla
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ole said he was just rested after playing two games in a row...

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

      Still recovering from a long injury lay off

    3. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just not rushing him back too quickly after his long injury lay off

    4. King Carlos
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      2 matches in 48 hrs after his injury = too much according to ogs

    5. The Suspended One

      Returning from muscle injury played 48 hrs ago

    What was that Martial... Need all the points I can get!

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just an assist would help his BPS.

      Feel kinda disappointed with a goal and no baps.

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He has more points than my entire team.

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Taking one of his seven chances would help his baps too

  12. UshFPL
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Just one more save Nick

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Burnley will soon be relegated

    Defence getting worse and poor going forwards

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years

      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Rashford has learned a few tricks since James arrived at the club.

      Jesus I'm not going to break 30pts for the first time this season

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Bore off I'm on 13 points

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        8 players. 10 points. Guaita my top scorer. If Salah misses a pen tomorrow I could end up with single figures.

      3. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I'm on 4 points.

        1. FFSbet.com
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Wanted to catch that 0.1 rise,will need for next transfer

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Martial down to 19 BPS.

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        how can he be that low ? only scorer in a 1-0 game

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          18 BPS for a goal, done nothing else.

        2. Skalla
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Only 18bps for midfield goal but should get +3 if winning goal, too many missed chances....

      2. tm245
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Seems about right.

    • danlynch13
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Is going Richarlison over martial stupid for my next transfer? I just feel I’ve probably missed martials points and don’t trust him with his injury record

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I didn't trust martial either so got Rashford!

          Early days, Rashford is twice the striker tony is, ogs is a knob
