Raphinha and Phillips start as Leeds visit Burnley in Blank Gameweek 36

Leeds are boosted by the return of two key starting players as they travel to Burnley on Saturday lunchtime.

After assisting in his substitute’s appearance against Spurs, Raphinha (£5.5m) makes a full return from his recent injury by featuring from the beginning this afternoon.

The Brazilian could be stationed on the right-hand side of a Leeds’ midfield-quartet, perhaps joined there by fellow winger Jack Harrison (£5.5m) as well as Mateusz Klich (£5.2m) and out-of-position Fantasy Premier League defender Stuart Dallas (£5.4m).

However, a 3-3-1-3 formation is also a possibility, which could feature Raphinha and Harrison either side of Patrick Bamford (£6.5m).

Leeds’ prospects are also improved by Kalvin Phillips‘ (£4.9m) first start since Gameweek 33.

Burnley’s shape is much easier to figure out with Sean Dyche going with his usual 4-4-2 formation.

The biggest news coming out of the Clarets’ camp is, of course, the shoulder injury to Nick Pope (£5.5m), keeping him out of Blank Gameweek 36.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell (£4.0m) comes in for the England international but is protected by the usual first-choice back-four of Charlie Taylor (£4.4m), Ben Mee (£4.7m), James Tarkowski (£5.3m) and Matt Lowton (£4.4m).

Dwight McNeil (£5.7m) and Josh Brownhill (£4.9m) provide the width today while Chris Wood (£6.5m) and Matej Vydra (£4.8m) lead the line together for the ninth time in the last 10 Premier League matches.

Blank Gameweek 36 Line-ups

Burnley XI: Peacock-Farrell; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Brownhill; Wood, Vydra.

Leeds United XI: Meslier; Alioski, Struijk, Llorente, Ayling; K Phillips; Harrison, Dallas, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

      They haven't been the usual Leeds for a long time. The game against Spurs was just Aurier giving away free candies to them.

      Leeds have to the most annoying team fpl wise. No consistency they are all over the place. Dallas sums up Leeds from an fpl point of view - feast or famine mostly.
      Last gameweek I had Bamford, Dallas and Raphina all on the bench. This week I played them all I bet it will be 1-1 with a goal from Harrison or something just to annoy me,

    I'm sat here with Ederson and Carson but am genuinely concerned Zack Steffen will get a run out before the end of the year. And that's why Pep Guardiola is the GOAT of fraudulence.

      I would not say fraudulence that is an odd way of looking at it.
      He is a coach with a massive squad lots of depth, who has the league wrapped up, and can now focus on the CL.
      He can do what he likes.
      Personally I wouldn't go near City players any more (until next season) unless you want to just have some fun with a Zinchenko or Torres pick.
