Sunderland v Burnley team news: Ward-Prowse a sub

2 February 2026 374 comments

Skonto Rigga

We hate to tear you away from a gripping transfer deadline day but there’s the small matter of ‘El Fodderico/El Benchico’ this evening: Sunderland v Burnley.

The difference this week, of course, is that there’ll be more Fantasy managers than usual starting the likes of Martin Dubravka and Nordi Mukiele, given the more favourable-on-paper fixture.

Kick-off on Wearside is at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris makes two changes to the side that started the 3-1 Premier League defeat at West Ham United.

Eliezer Mayenda and Romaine Mundle drop to the bench, with Habib Diarra and Chemsdine Talbi coming into the side for their first starts since the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Burnley make only one change from their 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

It comes up top, with Gameweek 23 goalscorer Lyle Foster taking the place of Armando Broja.

James Ward-Prowse, who joined the Clarets on loan from West Ham late last month, is on the bench.

LINE-UPS

Sunderland XI: Roefs, Mukiele, Ballard, Alderete, Reinildo, Diarra, Sadiki, Hume, Le Fée, Talbi, Brobbey.

Subs: Moore, Cirkin, Geertruida, Rigg, Mayenda, O’Nien, Mundle, Isidor, Jones.

Burnley XI: Dúbravka, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Humphreys, Walker, Ugochukwu, Florentino, Pires, Edwards, Anthony, Foster.

Subs: Weiss, Worrall, Bruun Larsen, Tchaouna, Flemming, Ward-Prowse, Broja, Mejbri, Laurent.

New to Fantasy Football Scout this season is the Live Gameweek page, which you can see on the side menu.

Here you can follow the scores, watch the defensive contribution (DefCon) points roll in, see who the leading players are for xG and more as the games play out, as seen below:

Was going to play Dubravka v West Ham but with that showing might stick to Kelleher at SJP.

  What is the point difference if you set and forget Kelleher from when you owned both GKs?

    Can't remember as I got Kelleher a couple of months ago and pretty much always played him. He's done well tbf with some pen saves.

  Yes, it hurts. We have all been there. Even more annoying to see someone else in your ML getting the Saka no show replaced with an 11 pointer.

11pt BB isn’t great, but I’ve had worse. After loads of red arrows, back into the top 900k from 1.4m with a 31% green makes it seem like a real success for now. 😎

  Least we've played it now and don't need to chase value or hold onto players unnecessarily cause we may want them for a future bench boost

      Yeah - glad to have it played now, a few weeks of benching headaches after but definitely an overated chip.
      
      What's your thoughts on the TC? Play it on Gabriel is Arsenal DGW in 26?

  Should have saved it for a double gameweek, it can be worth about 100 pts on one of those.

  Romero absolutely does. Not sure about Rodri, he does seem to massively lack self awareness

    I hadn’t actually seen Romero’s comments. I’d just been basing him wanting out on the fact that he played for Spurs
