Burnley v Man City team news: Dias + Stones absent, Grealish benched

11 August 2023 1822 comments

avfc82

Champions Manchester City visit newcomers Burnley in tonight’s season opener at Turf Moor.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Erling Haaland is the most-owned player in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) heading into Gameweek 1, with his ownership approaching a whopping 90%.

As expected, he starts for Man City, but others miss out.

There is no Ruben Dias, John Stones or Joao Cancelo in the squad, while new faces Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic are on the bench alongside Jack Grealish.

Those who do make the starting XI include Kevin De Bruyne, who made his first appearance since the UEFA Champions League final in the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal, Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden.

Burnley – led by Vincent Kompany – hand debuts to James Trafford, Dara O’Shea, Sander Berge, Luca Koleosho and Swiss striker Zeki Amdouni.

GAMEWEEK 1 LINE-UPS

Burnley XI: Trafford, Al Dakhil, O’Shea, Beyer, Roberts, Berge, Cullen, Koleosho, Vitinho, Amdouni, Foster

Subs: Muric, Ekdal, Brownhill, Cork, Gudmundsson, Redmond, Manuel, Larsen, Zaroury

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Ake, Lewis, Rodri, De Bruyne, Alvarez, Bernardo, Foden, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Laporte, Gvardiol, McAtee, Kovacic, Palmer, Phillips, Grealish, Gomez

  Nah
  
  BB here all ready to go - and FH already active for week2. My caveat is ill prob be done playing in week 4 so trying for rank number 1 before then
  
  Onana Pickford
  Akanji Shaw Estup Tarkowshi Patterson
  Havertz Martinelli Saka Rashford Foden
  Welbeck Pedro Haaland
  
  As good a week as any for BB since forward options for the season will be few and far between to get 3 good ones and not compromise the WC

WTF?

Thought I wasn't able to do Gabriel to Saliba because the site was down but now I see Saliba is on my team.

Which one is injured btw?

  Same. Price could rise considerably if he does well and people realise his fit and starting, especially if Salah does nothing

Saliba - Estupiñan - Walker
Salah - Rashford - Saka - Martinelli - Bernardo
Haaland - João Pedro

    Thanks mate.
    
    I'm pretty confident that he'll score well, just afraid of 99% of the Haaland owners (90% ownership in the game) who will have captained him.
    
    As long as Rashford matches Haaland's score, I won't have lost anything in trying it.

  Good shout, Semedo is awful at defending and they only got 2 centerbacks to choose from in Dawson and Kilman. Utd will score a lot.
