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.

    Wood is horrendous.

    Yep, definitely no luck in this game 😀

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Norwich horrendous-er.

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

      Nope. apparently Wood was a superb pick this week

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

    Wood should've hit that with his shin.

  7. Uncle Gamst
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    a) Patricio, Gomez, Walker-Peters, Sterling, Salah, Auba (C)
    Greenwood 1st on bench

    b) Pope, TAA, Dunk, KdB, Salah (C), Ings
    Nketiah 1st on bench

    Which wins and estimate of by how many.

    Many thanks

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Much easier to connect with only 8 outfield players. 😉

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

      Needs to attempt 30 passes...

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 9 Years

        Must be close?

  9. Cok3y5murf

    Wood showing how jammy his owners are

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

    Wood should of at least hit the target.

  11. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Rival triple-capped Pope

    Seriously

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years

      That’s full on dullhard

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

      Obvious pick innit.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      lol wtf, well it wont be a haul.

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Not much of a rival then.

    5. yalala
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      You're in trouble

  12. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Why do I always loose points just as I look? Pope can gone...

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

      Eh?

  13. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    City lineups?

  14. huwwilliams_
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    I'm 15 point clear of my mini league and around 80k overall with a FH to play. There's money on the line in the mini league and that's all i'm really motivated to win should I just copy the team of the person that's second with my FH or go with the strongest team for final GW using early team news?

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Copy

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

        Boring

    2. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      If u copy it player for player it will look a bit dickish inho. If u just have a few of his danger men on yiur FH that's a different kettle of fish....

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

      Go with the strongest team, if you copy, his captain pick could overhaul you.

  15. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    McNeil xA rising

  16. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Glad I did not transfer in Wood or Pope for one week.

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

    XI | Ederson, Walker, Garcia, Laporte, Mendy, Gundogan, D Silva (C), De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.

    Subs | Carson, Stones, Zinchenko, Bernardo, Rodrigo, Fernandinho, Cancelo, Otamendi, Foden.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      As expected then.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Full strength

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

      So that may see Dilva benched for Watford and one of Sterling or Jesus.

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

      Dilva starts, nice. Hopefully miss 37 then

    5. Avery
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Foden to start on Tuesday then?

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

      Cheers TM

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Dilva triple captain GW38 is a go

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

    Oh well Wood one goal

  19. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Potential red card offences shouldn't be replayed in slow-mo for VAR

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

      Agree. I thought that was going to be the case though?

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

    D Silva starts! Will be rested GW37 then surely?

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

      yes sadly

    2. tokara
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Of cos he will start, last cup for him in city colors

  21. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    City XI | Ederson, Walker, Garcia, Laporte, Mendy, Gundogan, D Silva (C), De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.

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

      Lovely, Foden rested!

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        yea nice, hopefully Jesus plays full 90. Many rivals have him

      2. soumyeah
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        Generous way to phrase it

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      D silva owners predictably should be concerned for 37

      1. Party time
        5 years, 12 months ago

        Dilva owner here. I am not concerned. Pep could do anything with his line up so I am very happy to have just Dilva 🙂

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        Not really

  22. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Well, I had banked 2 FTs so I could move Ederson and Saka out for Sterling and Martinez... and boy I think I'll just go and do that now.

  23. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Is the City/Arsenal FA Cup match on DAZN?

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

    Well done Foden starters.

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

      Benched him hoping Dilva gets a full rest.

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

    City full strength

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

    That's Foden for Dilva and Bilva for Mahrez in 37 ?

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

      Yes that’s my call

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

        Or possibly Bilva for Jesus

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

      No reason why Mahrez couldn't get 60.

      You'll have to wait for the minutes played today.

    3. Party time
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Maybe

      Maybe not

  27. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Dilva has always started in the FA Cup! No surprise! Surely rested against Watford!

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

      Which means KdB nailed on 🙂

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

        Good point

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Nah

  28. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Currently scoring 6.1 effective points ahead of top 10k as wood owner. After 60 minutes soon to be a red arrow no doubt. Impossible for Norwich to score now.

  29. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Surprised that Pep has benched the best player he's ever managed for a FA Cup semi final.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      He's old lol. It's like saying why isn't he playing Henry?!

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

    Quite a revelation of whether Burnley can actually pass though a football team, or whether they’re one trick ponies.

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

      I like Dyche a lot obviously, but he needs to show something different here.
