Ben Mee (£5.0m) is the most notable absentee from Sunday’s early kick-off at Turf Moor between Burnley and Sheffield United.

The centre-back, previously an ever-present for the Clarets, misses out with a thigh injury.

Over 5,000 FPL managers had plumped for Mee’s services ahead of the Gameweek 33 deadline. The defender hauled 15 points in Gameweek 32 as his goal secured a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace.

Kevin Long (£4.3m) deputises for the Burnley captain. Nick Pope (£5.0m) owners will be hoping that Mee’s absence doesn’t make Sean Dyche’s team easier to breach.

Jack Cork (£4.9m) is also sidelined, so Josh Brownhill (£4.8m) continues in central midfield while defender Erik Pieters (£4.2m) keeps his place on the left side of midfield.

Returning to the Burnley line-up is Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m), who missed out in GW32 through injury. That pushes Dwight McNeil back into midfield, with the £6.1m man operating from the right-hand side of Dyche’s 4-4-2.

Chris Wood (£6.1m) and Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m) are part of the Clarets’ 20-man matchday squad. Neither player has featured for the club since the Premier League restarted.

Sheffield United are unchanged from their 3-1 victory at home to Spurs on Thursday.

The big news from Chris Wilder’s point-of-view is that Jack O’Connell (£4.6m) returns from injury to take a place on the substitutes’ bench.

The Blades boss ruled out John Lundstram (£4.7m), John Fleck (£4.7m) and Luke Freeman (£5.0m) for ‘a couple of weeks’ in his pre-match press conference.

Burnley XI: Pope; Taylor, Tarkowski, Long, Bardsley; Pieters, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil; Rodriguez, Vydra.

Sheffield United XI: Henderson; Robinson, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Osborn, Norwood, Berge, Baldock; McBurnie, McGoldrick.

    1. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looks good.
      I’m on WC and have kane, greenwood, salah, bruno, martial, foden, kdb and holgate.
      Have you thought about BB in gw35? I was going to ship kane -> vardy ro make the most of that. As a result my defence is taa, chilwell, justin, ritchie and kiko.
      I can’t work out what to do with keepers. Don’t want to block city by having ederson and every keeper w good fixtures is awful. Why have you gone for yours?

      1. Cahill
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        basically went for those keepers because of 36 fixtures!

        havent looked at boost in 35 - couldnt find a defence i liked for 35 tbh

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It will be hard to get more than Tarkowski

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Penalty save

  21. HollywoodXI
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On my WC back in Feb I chose Hendo over Pope. That’s gone really well.

  22. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    One rival with double shu defence

    Other with double burnley defence

    Cmon shu now

  23. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    One of my neighbours appears to just be hitting a piece of a wood with a hammer for an hour, because why not

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Probably doesn’t own Pope

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

    2. Ze_Austin

      Nailing the boredom away

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve got a neighbour who does that nearly 24/7. No consideration whatsoever.

    4. tiger

      Which wood? West Wood...Chris Wood?

      1. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Morning wood

    5. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      6 years, 1 month ago

      Get a smart plug that connects to your WiFi. Then plug in a stereo turned up FULL blast. When you're away set it to come on randomly between 3.12am and 5.22am for 42 seconds.

  24. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lol at tannoy announcing the goal scorer 😀

  25. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best options here?

    Ederson (Hendo)
    Maguire Boly Egan (Lascelles Lord)
    KdB Mo Bruno Mahrez Son
    Jim Greenwood (Tammy)

    A hold
    B Mahrez Tammy to Kane Foden -4
    C Tammy Lord to TAA Nketiah -4
    D Lord to Burnley defence
    E other

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can you get Kane(C) + Nketiah for Jimi + Tammy

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ty

        That’s a good thought. The Foden move would only happen if he was benched this time and Mahrez starts

  26. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    At least tarky goal means thats when 1 less bonus for Pope

    Silver linings

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone else on hendo in my ml, down to Pope to bring this home for us

    2. HollywoodXI
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pope will get an assist now and clean sheet to make sure he gets three BAPS

  27. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pope, TAA, KdB, Salah/Mane, Foden, Greenwood

    Nailed on in my team next season from GW1

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Where's Bruno?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Him as well, did mean to type him!

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      TAA, KDB, Salah, Bruno definites for me.

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Interesting options up top next season around 9.5 I guess

      Ings
      Jim
      Martial
      Werner

      Could be a good price point. I’m assuming Martial and Rash swap positions

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        But not prices, Rash will be more than Martial started at, maybe too much.

    4. KadMan
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Foden not nailed surely?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No David Silva, will still be rotated (like every City player) but reckon he will start most

    5. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      TAA will be a hefty outlay....

  28. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Sheffield, just get a goal and deny my league rivals the Pope CS...

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      They will score

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        How?

        1. Bubz
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Someone will kick the ball into the goal imo

          1. _Ninja_
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            😀

          2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I think it will be a header

            1. Zimo
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Final touch will definitely be someones butt

          3. The Train Driver
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            But will VAR approve?

        2. THE Wild Rover
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Mousset v tired legs

        3. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          After match function

      2. Kodap
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Everyone of my rivals have either Hendo or Pope, so a sheffield goal is idea.. then a Salah hatty later.

        1. AC Yew
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Stevens goal and hat trick from Salah will do nicely

  29. Samwise the Brave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Burnley are just not going to concede for the rest of the season....unless I copy my rivals double Burnley defense

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same.

  30. InSaneMan-e
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Maybe a silly question but Jiminez gets paternity leave like the rest of us right?
    So potentially off for 2 weeks in mid July?

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He won't take it. Footballers normally don't unless it's the off season

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Selling anyway.

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He has had 2 blanks from having to do some real work painting the babies room.

    4. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like he is already on his summer leave...
