Wood starts for Burnley as Long owners subjected to team sheet ordeal

Following a week of interest from the Fantasy Premier League community, Chris Wood (£6.1m) keeps his place in the starting line-up as Burnley travel to Norwich.

The New Zealand international is paired up-front with Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m), who has four attacking returns in his last five appearances since the Premier League restart.

The Clarets may be short in defence, with Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) and Ben Mee (£4.9m) still missing, but a return for Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m) in midfield means Erik Pieters (£4.2m) can slot in at left-back after several outings on the right wing.

Kevin Long (£4.3m) is the man who continues to deputise for Mee, but his owners were given an arduous few minutes when the team-sheets were announced this afternoon.

Burnley’s official Twitter account posted a line-up which featured an injured Mee at centre-back and Long nowhere to be seen.

However, this was deleted within a few minutes and owners of the budget centre-back were given a reprieve upon discovering that he had, in actual fact, made the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, as interest in Norwich’s squad continues to diminish, Teemu Pukki (£6.4m) is on the bench once again, with Josip Drmic (£5.3m) leading the line supported in attack by Onel Hernández (£5.3m), Todd Cantwell (£4.5m) and Emi Buendía (£6.0m).

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Lewis, Klose, Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey, McLean; O Hernández, Buendía, Cantwell; Drmic.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Pieters, K Long, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Gudmundsson; Wood, Rodriguez.

  7. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Norwich should use the last 30 minutes to practice soft shots on target

    1. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Or maybe just practice

  8. merin

    Any drafts for FH teams for last gameweek?

    Thinking about building it like Antonio, 3xMCI, 3x,MUN, Salah, Tark. Armband for a MCI og LIV player.

    7/2 Norwich to keep CS in second half. 🙂

    So Jesus starts again. Perhaps he won't start against Watford. Will be his 7th start in a row.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He’ll start

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I don't think he will if he plays 90 or 120 here.

    2. Eze Really?

      After an hour, Citeh winning 2 zip. 4 subs: KDB Sterling Jesus Laporte

  11. Rainer

    Tark recovery and pass

    Go on lad!!!

  12. FOO FIGHTER

    The scoreline showing that Dyche is a one trick pony.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I don't think Burnley fans nor management mind

    2. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Don't change something if it works.

    3. Freshy

      sad but true

    4. Homer21

      You didn’t know?

    5. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like Dyche. He's no-nonsense, no frill, no BS. Limited perhaps, but not without potential. Very few start out or stay great in this game

  13. diesel001

    That guy who put over 2 shots on target for Wood must be feeling a little nervous now?

      Saka not even in the squad?

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He's on the bench

      2. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Apologies. He's on bench. Missed two. Him and Smith.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      No Saka or Nketia in squad. Interesting.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nketiah is suspended

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          League and Cups are separate suspensions aren't they?

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nketia is banned.

        Saka is on the bench.

    4. JustPark

    Pope on for 2 Baps? Game is a joke he hasn't touched the ball

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He touched the ball once. Goal line save. I think that's an extra 1000 points for bonus, no?

    2. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Still early doors FFS

  20. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus 6 points from Tark and I'm down 700 places? Need a goal from him at this rate

  21. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pope sighting

  22. Greek Freak
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Of course they play a back pass to Pope off a corner vs. a 9 man team.

  23. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Wood, get another

  24. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How the hell can Pope have 2 bonus? If it is passing accuracy, then FPL towers know to tweak the bonus system next season.
