Backers of Burnley clean sheets will be pleased to see Ben Mee (£5.1m) return to the starting line-up for Double Gameweek 25.

The centre-back sustained a head injury in the first of two Double Gameweek 24 matches against Crystal Palace and ended up missing the second.

Having conceded to low-scoring Fulham in Mee’s absence, the Clarets will welcome back their captain with open arms.

With Erik Pieters (£4.3m) still on the sidelines, Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) earns his second successive Premier League start since returning from his own fitness problems.

At 15.7% ownership, Nick Pope (£5.6m) is the most popular Fantasy asset at Turf Moor today, boosted by Mee coming in for Kevin Long (£4.3m).

Ashley Barnes (£6.0m) is the latest Burnley striker to suffer from injury problems, missing out with a thigh problem today which means Matej Vydra (£4.8m) and Jay Rodriguez (£5.8m) lead the line.

Mbaye Diagne (£6.0m) fronts West Bromwich Albion’s attack at Turf Moor having registered two assists and a goal in his first four Premier League outings.

Still, only 0.4% of Fantasy managers have shown any interest in him thus far, Matheus Pereira (£5.4m) the most-popular starting Baggies asset in just 1.5% of teams worldwide.

Double Gameweek 25 Line-ups

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Brownhill; Rodriguez, Vydra.

West Bromwich Albion XI (4-2-3-1): Johnstone; C Townsend, Bartley, Ajayi, Furlong; Yokuslu, Gallagher; M Phillips, M Pereira, Maitland-Niles; Diagne.

Double Gameweek 25 so far…

After Leeds assets produced a disappointing start to Double Gameweek 25 in their Friday-night defeat to Wolves, Southampton continued in similar style.

While Chelsea did not tear their defence apart in quite the same way as many anticipated, Alex McCarthy (£4.5m), Jannik Vestergaard (£4.7m) and company could not get a clean sheet, the former earning a late yellow card for time-wasting too.

Danny Ings (£8.5m) was the reason Southampton conceded, giving away a second-half penalty for a foul on Mason Mount (£6.8m).

Ings disappointed at the other end of the pitch too, blanking for the fifth time in his last six matches. His Gameweek 24 strike against Wolves is still his only attacking return since Gameweek 17.

Scoutcast differential Takumi Minamino (£6.0m) was the man that came through for the Saints, having produced a superior figure for minutes per shot than Ings over the two players’ last four Premier League matches.

Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) played the Liverpool loanee through in the first-half, who stabbed home with a cool finish.

    Greedy asking for 1 more Pope save?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No

    2. cheekumz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I want 4 so i think you're safe lol 😉

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1 more save could be worth 4 points so yeah!

  2. Mr. O'Connell

    The Burnley formula:

    Start season poorly
    Everyone thinks this is the year they finally go down
    Go on a run to pull well clear of the bottom 3
    Despite there being almost no chance of relegation, continue to play the most boring defensive football the league has ever seen
    Finish bottom half
    Sign out of contract british player in the off season

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Repeat.

    2. TomSaints

      5 years, 4 months ago

      To be fair, small club with no budget and manage to stay up with limited to no debt.

      One season it’ll fail, but fair play to compete in a league where you’re so out matched

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I don't understand how they have no budget. Small wage bill. Been in PL for years. Where does all the PL prize money go?

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      They are ahead of their time. This is the winning formula in post-Brexit football.

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Stop exposing Dyche's master plan

      He's going to win the league with only British players to prove Brexit was the right move

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        If anyone wins the PL with only British players then he deserves the GOAT Manager Award

      2. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        .... and why did you assume Dyche's gender? He might identify as a woman?

    5. Party time
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Perfectly summed up

    6. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      They have money now following the takeover. Will be interesting to see what happens to them in summer. Probably missing a winger.

      Pope
      Lowton Tarkowski Mee Taylor
      McNeil Westwook Cork ?????
      Barnes Wood

      Peacock-Farrell
      Bardsley Dunne Long Pieters
      Brownhill Stephens Gudmundsson Brady
      Vydra Rodriguez

      1. Says
        • 15 Years

        GTG I think, who are you captaining?

  3. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    is anyone actually watching this game?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Im watching one man and one man only. Nick Pope

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Watching the baps order, 3,2,1 is all the fun.

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'm 'watching' FFS if that counts

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I just switched on, it's now in the background

      no way I was wasting my afternoon watching this crap

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I went for a run for the first time in about 3 months and just came back.

        I'd rather exercise than watch this game

  4. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    People who benched Martinez, don't worry, Leicester are scoring this week, I mean, Emi will save a Vardy pen and haul, but no cleanie.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      🙂

  5. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Turns out Mee was the worst Burnley defender to bring in

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Matthew Cafu bombing forward at every opportunity.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Cafu's got nothing on the English legend that is Matt Lowton

  7. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    So annoying with another Burnley cs for us non owners. But we’ll played, owners!

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I benched Cancelo for Lowton....

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      On my bench!

    3. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Stop jinxing

  8. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry if already covered but any more updates on grealish please?

  9. MrZ
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Waiting for my due tark goal(s)

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    3 - Tarkowski (25)
    2 - Pope, Lowton (24)

    Johnstone (22)
    Bartley (20)
    Furlong (20)
    Mee (20)

    A bit of excitement. Every save will be key.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Benched Tarkowski of course

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Any chance of a Cavani or Gundogan no show?

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Mee owners in the mud once again

      1. Peter Ouch
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        6 points is better than 2

  11. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Why no VAR check on the handball earlier?

  12. Pukkipartyy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is Kane must for DGW26?
    (Have Son)

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not if you have to rip up your team

      1. Pukkipartyy
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah i feel it would make my other BB assets much worse.

        I mean with Kane. Maja + Aina and without Kane. Watkins, Barnes and Konsa.

        1. Pukkipartyy
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          And Ings...

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No
      Facing two decent defences

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Also, Mourinho is playing mind games regarding his fitness. Probably just mind games, but you never know

  13. Peter Ouch
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Not watching the game with double burney defence.

    Please tell me we won't concede

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Lowton save my season

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Anything on top of his legendary performance from last week is just bonus. Lets not get greedy

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        But I didn’t have him then

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          wait you got in a Burnley defender for 1 game? Hopefully not a WC...

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Yes

          2. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

  16. jammie26
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    This is a truly dreadful match. All players involved should score - 10 points imo.

  17. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years

    Lowton (26)

  20. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Poor people getting rewarded with Lowton because they couldn't afford Mee or Tark

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Down with the elite!!!

    2. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Sometimes being poor is a blessing in disguise

  21. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What was the FPL Rockstar controversy? Can someone enlighten me? It rings a bell but I forgot

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He had correct Liverpool line ups, so people moved Salah out right before deadline in the final gameweek of the season, iirc.

  22. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I hate this game!

  23. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Lowton off the line

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years

    Lowton explodes back to 3 baps! Hold!

  25. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Lowton... wow, what a hero

  26. Boxwoods

  27. Mika-eel

  29. AC/DC AFC
