Leeds United v Burnley gets Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway this Friday evening.

Kick-off at Elland Road is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Daniel Farke makes three changes to the side that were beaten by Chelsea in last week’s FA Cup semi-final.

Karl Darlow replaces Lucas Perri in goal.

In defence, Gabriel Gudmundsson is out with the hamstring injury he suffered at Wembley, so Joe Rodon comes into the team, with James Justin presumably switching over to left wing-back.

Further forward, Anton Stach returns in place of Brenden Aaronson, who drops to the bench.

Jaka Bijol and Noah Okafor, who were both injury doubts, are fit to start.

As for Burnley, interim coach Mike Jackson names an unchanged XI from Gameweek 33.

LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Darlow, Rodon, Bijol, Struijk, Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Justin, Stach, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Perri, Byram, Bornauw, Longstaff, Aaronson, James, Gnonto, Piroe, Nmecha

Burnley XI: Dubravka, Humphreys, Ekdal, Esteve, Walker, Ward-Prowse, Laurent, Hartman, Tchaouna, Anthony, Flemming

Subs: Weiss, Worrall, Ugochukwu, Edwards, Florentino, Pires, Amdouni, Broja, Hannibal

    Playing in a mini league where we have the top 4 going into semi finals and a final week 37 and 38.

    Who are the best players to target to set up best returns. Wild card available week 36.

        B+C. Then D. Don’t waste a transfer on Sem-Cherky.

        My mini rival has pretty much the same template wc32 team as I do, 45p the difference, so I have to go for some differentials, both us will play tc in 36, still time to catch him, Pedro and Palmer to Sarr and Mateta, 2ft, that’s the plan for gw36, everything else looks good 🙂

    Was Okafor passed fit before the game? I swear I asked here & got no reply. Sucks missing out on pts but the crap season is over anyway.
