Budget FPL defender Kilman returns as Podence and Neto lead the line for Wolves

The penultimate match of Gameweek 14 sees Burnley play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Kick-off at Turf Moor is at 17:30 GMT.

The headline team news is the recall of Max Kilman (£4.2m) to the Wolves starting XI after a four-game absence.

Kilman is in for Willy Boly (£5.5m), who was an injury doubt prior to the game and who is only among the substitutes this evening.

Another ‘flagged’ Wolves player, Leander Dendoncker (£4.8m), misses out altogether.

Marcal (£4.8m) and Fabio Silva (£5.2m) are both benched as teenage midfielder Owen Otasowie (£4.5m), Joao Moutinho (£5.2m) and Rayan Aït-Nouri (£5.0m) are also promoted to the starting XI.

The omission of Silva from the line-up will presumably mean that Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Pedro Neto (£5.9m) will play as a two-pronged strike force tonight.

Not one for making wholesale changes, Sean Dyche has made only one alteration from the side that drew 0-0 with Aston Villa last time out.

Ashley Barnes (£6.0m) is in for Jay Rodriguez (£5.8m) up top.

Neto is the most-owned player on show tonight, closely followed by Kilman.

Not one of the Clarets’ squad has a double-digit ownership, although the in-form Nick Pope (£5.4m) sits in just under 10% of teams.

Pope has a better points-per-match average this season than any other goalkeeper who has made more than one start.

Neto, meanwhile, is the highest-points scorer among sub-£6.0m midfielders.


Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brady, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Wood, Barnes.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Semedo, Saiss, Coady, Kilman, Ait-Nouri, Otasowie, Moutinho, Neves, Podence, Neto.

    FT - Burnley deserve that, Wolves still look toothless without Jimenez.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        (Might've been a DGW to be fair, hardly remember.)

  5. FER FUSCH AKE

    NETO and PODENCE blanks confirmed.

      Ahhhh

  6. Fudgy
    • 4 Years

    Dyche is a effing boss

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years

      Literally

  7. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Fabio Silva, FM20 legend. Would love to see him become a serious option at 5.2

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If FM20 is correct in about two years time he'll be scoring 40 a season!

    Burnley games are a great advert for a European super league.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wolves are a more boring team than Burnley.

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Take that back or I'll put milk in your coffee!

      2. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah they are awful to watch until the last 10 minutes of every game.

    2. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Every league has teams that play defensively. Burnley just get more exposure to the public eye as they play in the most popular league in the world.

    3. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nah. Burnley spend zilch and stay up every year. The super league is for big clubs panicking about the ever-growing competition. If it were to happen, I don't think many would watch football for a long time.

  9. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    P*ss off crap penalties

    Brought in Taylor for Justin!!!!!

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      5 pts is great return, a cheapskate should be happy with that.

    2. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You’ve had a good week this time so no complaining please! Lol

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

        Could have been my first 100!

    3. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lucky to get attacking returns from a Burnley defender against Wolves. I would take that!

  10. Peter Ouch

    Benson you muppet

    1. Jindaljain
      • 9 Years

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Robbo => Benson

      1. Jindaljain
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Bension lite or hard?

  11. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I know it's irrational but i want Bensons contract cancelled.

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Shut up.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I know why I'm annoyed. Why are you? U related to the guy?

      2. Jindaljain
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Smoking is injurious to health

  12. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I think its safe to say we are all happy with that scoreline, nice game, glad Burnley won

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not safe at all Trophe. 😀

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I have gauged the comments on here and over-all people seem positive and happy, I think I speak for everyone

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry didn't realise you were elected spokesperson for everyone on here.

  13. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Glad taylor got the equivalent of a yellow card in a cleanie. Just what 4.5 defs deserve. Same as dallas for me

  14. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any news from Lampard regarding Reece James?

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He is not playing today...surgery last resort they said.

  15. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    16 points is too much to expect from Chilwell? 🙂

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It would be perfect to help me get my goal of 18 from Chilwell and Coufal!

    2. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      May be too harsh. How about 15 points? CS with a goal and 3 bonus points.

      1. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Already though about it. but couple of assists looks also real 🙂

  16. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I’d need 18pts from Chilwell and Coufal to get 100.... hmm .... not gonna happen!

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I need 14 from James. Still haven’t given up yet

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        😆 made me chuckle

        No one coming on from bench?

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Douglas unfortunately

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Unlucky mate

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell could get 12.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He could.... but it’d stop Coufal getting 6 probably!

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I need 12pts from them. Good luck.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You too mate. Glad to see your rank is going in the right direction too finally!

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You too. If we get GW18/19 right we could be in for a big jump in OR.

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            What’s your plan?

            Pretty sure I’m going for FH18 and BB19

            1. Firminooooo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              100%. All in with FH and BB in GW19 with14 or 15 DGW players.

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Needing 41 from balbuena and soucek to hit 100 tonight, ready for a big 3 points between them lol

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        41 is a reasonable request I’d say...

  17. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Penalties are still a joke this season, must be a record number by a mile!?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

    2. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Load your team with pen takers then, that's what lots of people are doing!

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        The top fpl options were already top picks before pens...they just happen to be on penos

        1. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Not necessarily, like there's lots of people who still don't own Bruno for example.

          Early on there were teams utlizing the higher amount of pens with Maupay, Ings, Wilson, Jorginho etc all in the same squad.

          Not all of them are top picks.

  18. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I may have been the first in my mini-league, but I'm not blown away by a Burnley defender.

  19. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Predictions for CHE vs WHU?

    I've got 2-0 to Chelsea.

    Werner x2 (Chilly & Pulisic assists)

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      0-3 WHU - Soucek hattie

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Haha and watch this forum go up in flames

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      0-0

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chelsea will struggle without Ziyech to create much. Tight game 1-0/2-1

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2-1

    5. Sonaldo Nazario
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      1 (Abraham, CHE) - 1 (Haller, WHU)

    6. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Fornals is due for one. Chelsea two: Mount and Abraham with Pusilic assists (long suffering Werner owner)

  20. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this plan? Will not play FH for gw18 but will have 7 playing players, then play BB chip for GW19. Viable plan or just FH in BGW18 and build a stronger DGW 19 team in the WC?

    Gw16 - WC

    Gw18:
    (Save FT)
    McCarthy*
    Dias - Cancelo - Marcal
    Son - Kdb - Neto - Bruno*
    Kane - Bamford* - Adams*
    (Johnstone - Justin - Dallas - Raphina)

    Gw19: PLAY BB CHIP
    (2FTs: Kdb & Kane —> Salah & Vardy)
    McCarthy - Johnstone
    Dias - Cancelo - Marcal - Justin - Marcal
    Salah - Son - Bruno - Raphina - Neto
    Vardy - Adams - Bamford

  21. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Nice Kilman 1pter off the bench for Dier

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years

      Haha icwudt

    2. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't care about your Kilman misery. But Dier rest is useful information. Didn't know about that.

      1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ademola Lookman

        LOOK
        MAN

    3. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm getting McCarthy 3 in for Ryan 0.

    4. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      ?

  22. GoonerSteve
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Man that Taylor haul was so close I could taste it.

    Oh well, 5pts isn't bad.

    94 so far with Chilwell to play.

    Good times.

    1. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would suck if Chilwell gets a clean sheet but gets a yellow on 90th minute no?

      1. Jindaljain
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Whom you will blow?

  23. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    That Taylor wipe is a little irritating, no chance of the elusive SGW ton now. 19pts from Chillwell and Zouma is probably a tad too much to ask for.

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tough, but assist for one, 4 bonus and cleanie?

      1. Il Capitano
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's not out of the realms of possibility I guess. Shouldn't be moping in all honesty, whatever happens now it's been a very good GW.

  24. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sky just said that Reece James failed a late fitness test so can’t be too serious then if he almost played.

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Really? Would be absolutely ecstatic if he's fit to start next week, amazing value option.

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      So he will be back for next GW?

  25. BooYaKasha
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Nothing more depressing than seeing your mammoth green arrow being reduced by the minute

  26. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Got Dallas coming off the bench for James, Coufal coming off the bench for Lamptey.. on 65 currently with Coufal & Soucek left to play!

  27. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Charlie Taylor robbed of 6pts because of that stupid penalty right at the end. That would have put me on 99 with Cresswell left. Vomit inducing.

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's so annoying honestly. Wish it was the 1st minute instead so i get less annoyed.

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        For me, this is the most frustrating thing in FPL, the loss of a clean sheet and bonus pts because of a goal conceded right at the end of the game. It's happened so often for me this season. Just so depressing.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don’t count your points before the final whistle!

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I didn't. I didn't know what the score was. I don't bother following matches when I only have defenders playing. I just check my points when the match has finished. I was initially quite pleased to login and see that Taylor had got 5pts. At first I assumed a clean sheet and booking. Then I saw the score and the time the Wolves goal was scored and added up the points that goal has cost me!

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Relax, Taylor owners are the big winners from that game

  28. JJO
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Balbuena you just had to play tonight 🙁
    Will i ever get lucky with those sub points

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago
