Pogba absent as Man United travel to face Burnley

Paul Pogba (£8.4m) has not travelled to Burnley for Manchester United’s Gameweek 20 match.

The Frenchman has made substitute appearances in both of the last two outings but will not feature at all this time around.

Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst has reported that Pogba’s absence is due to the tight turnaround between matches, especially tricky for him considering his long spell on the sidelines through injury.

Gameweek 19 goal-scorer Mason Greenwood (£4.3m) finds himself back on the bench after a rare start against Burnley, while Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) and Anthony Martial (£7.8m) feature in the starting XI once again.

Meanwhile, Burnley have gone with a full-strength side despite playing on Boxing Day.

Ashley Barnes (£6.2m) and Chris Wood (£6.2m) lead the line although Nick Pope (£4.7m) is the key Fantasy asset, owned by 14% of managers.

Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; A Barnes, Wood.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Williams, Maguire, Lindelöf, Young; Matic, Fred; Rashford, A Pereira, D James; Martial.

      It's a bitter pill tbh, but I think my takeaway is Martial is too involved in the game from an FPL perspective. It's better in terms of BP's to do one or two things well in a game than 4-5 things well and 2-3 not so well like Martial. Martial won the game for them really but the BP system loves a flawless breakaway goal.

      And it was a miskick as well. Even if the defender had cleared it into Rashford's face and went in, same 3 bps. It all balances out in the end, you having the undeserved boss next time. Crap system though for sure, but it is a free game tbf.
