Following a week of interest from the Fantasy Premier League community, Chris Wood (£6.1m) keeps his place in the starting line-up as Burnley travel to Norwich.

The New Zealand international is paired up-front with Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m), who has four attacking returns in his last five appearances since the Premier League restart.

The Clarets may be short in defence, with Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) and Ben Mee (£4.9m) still missing, but a return for Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m) in midfield means Erik Pieters (£4.2m) can slot in at left-back after several outings on the right wing.

Kevin Long (£4.3m) is the man who continues to deputise for Mee, but his owners were given an arduous few minutes when the team-sheets were announced this afternoon.

Burnley’s official Twitter account posted a line-up which featured an injured Mee at centre-back and Long nowhere to be seen.

However, this was deleted within a few minutes and owners of the budget centre-back were given a reprieve upon discovering that he had, in actual fact, made the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, as interest in Norwich’s squad continues to diminish, Teemu Pukki (£6.4m) is on the bench once again, with Josip Drmic (£5.3m) leading the line supported in attack by Onel Hernández (£5.3m), Todd Cantwell (£4.5m) and Emi Buendía (£6.0m).

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Lewis, Klose, Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey, McLean; O Hernández, Buendía, Cantwell; Drmic.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Pieters, K Long, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Gudmundsson; Wood, Rodriguez.

      • 17 Years

    2 RCs is suspicious...

  13. FPL Daniel

    These reds are kind of message to the City players. They will be afraid from an injury in a non relevant game and risk CL.

    Salah captain in GW 38?

      Most impressive overthinking that I've seen in ages.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        I disagree. Think from KDB perspective

    2. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      I'd better change my user name after my campaign to not sell Greenwood for Wood.

    Still going through the motions of the red card on Sky Go

    1. One More Hit

      Wood should stop these overhead kick attempts, they're rotten aesthetically

    The good news is all those people who signed up / create a team for this week are screwed

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      What's that about?

      1. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        Loads of people create a new team, their first gw of the season and load it up with early starters, one of them being TC

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 12 months ago

          For the prize for the most points for a gameweek? It would be pretty easy to block

        2. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 12 months ago

          I think it's a coffee cup or some other piece of worthless paraphernalia

  23. Champions League Varane

  24. TAT

    Stupid me saving a transfer, playing Aurier with Stephens first sub, instead of getting Bardsley in for Fernández…

  25. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    This will end in carnage

  26. Dragon Arcana
    • 14 Years

    Wood captainers unite!!

  27. Chalobah's Witness

    wouldn't say this was a red.
    just unlucky

    1. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      While I agree it shouldn't be a red, those tackles are always given a red in PL for being reckless. So it had to be a red.

  28. Lev Yashin
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Krul with some serious poppadom hands there.

  29. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Disagreed with first red. Second one was GBH.

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Both clear reds, you can see buendia's intention to elbow
