Fulham v Burnley team news: Raul benched, Tete out

Thanks to the EFL Cup final and some rejigging from the broadcasters, there’s just the one Premier League fixture taking place at 3pm GMT today: Fulham v Burnley.

TEAM NEWS

Fulham boss Marco Silva makes two changes to the side that started in the stalemate at Nottingham Forest last Sunday.

One is enforced at right-back as Timothy Castagne comes in for the injured Kenny Tete.

The other alteration, however, is a significant one in attack as Rodrigo Muniz replaces Raul Jimenez, who drops to the bench.

Popular Gameweek 31 picks Harry Wilson and Joachim Andersen start, as expected.

Those two were fourth and sixth, respectively, for ‘transfers in’ this week.

The Burnley team news is as straightforward as it comes: they’re unchanged from last weekend.

Martin Dubravka, usually bench fodder but someone who will be started by more FPL managers than usual in this Blank Gameweek, is between the posts for the Clarets.

LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Iwobi, Berge, Wilson, King, Bobb, Muniz.

Subs: Lecomte, Reed, Jimenez, Cairney, Chukwueze, Lukic, Sessegnon, Diop, Smith Rowe.

Burnley XI: Dubravka, Walker, Humphreys, Esteve, Hartman, Mejbri, Laurent, Ward-Prowse, Foster, Anthony, Flemming.

Subs: Weiss, Worrall, Ugochukwu, Edwards, Florentino, Tchaouna, Ekdal, Broja, Barnes.

      I don't think an outfielder is ever saving a penalty from a Premier League club's designated penalty taker. But the rules specify 'For every 3 shot saves by a goalkeeper' so he probably won't get any points because he isn't classified as a GK

        Could easily happen we’ve seen some shocking penalties, could be a panenka down middle which keeper saves for example.

        I know it’s rare but can happen so just wondered if there’s a points system in play.

        I guess the whole thing alludes to the fact perhaps player positions should be cemented per fpl and should reflect real life.
        E.g if Szobo plays right back he should be a ‘defender’ that week and get clean sheet points.
