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.

  7. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years

    have a big bet on Wood over 2 shots on target. How many has he had so far just the 1?

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

      as far as i remember yh but for sure he'll get another SOT

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

    4. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Good luck!

      I've got a bet on a Wood Hatty. Would be about 70 bucks which is ok

  8. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Surely in gunna get some points of Rodriguez can't be that unlucky surely

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

      seems very likely

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Just recovered from a knock, might be taken off early.

      1. Oggle22
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        That's my worry maybe should have gone wood ha need to make up 18 points had Salah Henderson and captain Bruno last week didmt go to plan let's hope it does today

  9. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    I got Wood

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

      same, a lot did tbf. But still only 12% EO!

  10. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Probably going to regret not switching greenwood out for wood

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      100%

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Ditto, went for Tarko instead

  11. Party time
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Kevin friend is a fraud imo

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      If by Kevin Friend, you mean Farke, then i'd agree

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    I guess this is a game where Wood can break Salah's points record? Who TC'd wood?

  13. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    To fittingly end this season Norwich will beat Man City 1-0 next week

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      They already know how to do it

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      2-1 City win. Everyone expecting 5-0+ (like against Bournemouth).

  14. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    If the likes of KdB, Mahrez and Sterling are clearly in the starting 11 tonight, regardless of potential for extra time....

    Who really thinks they are first picks for Pep in a game that doesn't mean anything for Man City?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      The ones on the bench.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      See who is in lineup midweek
      Anyone who misses or comes off at 60 is good
      I'll have Jesus Sterling C and Silva prob

      Pep plays fantasy football too you know

  15. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years

    Funny game where Sheffield got a game abandoned for 5 reds

    1. Sun Jihai

      That tackle at 0:38! 😀

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years

        lol

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

      How does that work - Ref gets to call it for player safety or is it regulation?

  16. E25
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Absute jam for Wood owners. I'm not salty about it at all. Going to be a looonnnggggg 2nd half.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      What was jam about that goal?
      Bicycle kick wonder goal.

      1. E25
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        How many shots on target before 9 men? 😉

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 12 months ago

          Takes a lot of skill to score off your shin like that.

          1. E25
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 12 months ago

            He's obvi a world class striker

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Even though it was a good goal it had such a Burnley quality about it. Went down in Slo motion, hit his shin and trickled in.

      1. E25
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        He knew exactly what he was doing 😉

  17. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Everyone will be getting Wood now it seems.

  18. Gobigorgohome

    12 mins before meltdown

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      4 of the 6 are obvious.

  19. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Antonio got 4 against Norwich...Wood needs to get more against less Norwich

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      High scoring Burnley....

      That was just part of the madness into Burnley attack this morning.

      The biggest fail was Man City premium again.

  20. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    45 mins of Wood against 9 man Norwich.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Doubt i'l last that long

    2. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Wood owners deserve a red card to return his points to what they would have been if Norwich hadn’t had 2 players sent off

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        Stop provoking.

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

          Oh yes because my comment is much worse than the response....

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Cynics corner!!

  22. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Magnus Carlsen in 5th place owns wood !

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Who actually cares

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      All the top cats have him, no brainer really to chase players vs Norwich.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        Surprising decision for me, Burnley attackers never go big. Dyche is a nick one and defend manager, hence their clean sheet prowess

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Burnley defence EO anyone?

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

      Around 80.

    2. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      I own 3 so probably skewing the totals. Lol

  24. huwwilliams_

    Anyone got any early FH advice for final GW??

  25. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Norwich need 5 red cards to forfeit the game, not 4. Number of players has to fall below 7.

    1. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Pretty sure it's 7 or less mate

  26. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Hope Wood hauls but happy for the return regardless!

  27. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Anyone play the 'target the worst team in the league' game pick the wrong team?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Nope
      Wood and Tarkowski in for -4

  28. Captain Hindsight
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Bringing in Wood this gameweek is looking like a good choice now with the 2 Norwich sending offs

    What do we reckon this’ll finish? 5-0?

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

      4-0 with a second half Pope hattrick based on this season
