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.

    Pope will be an easy sell this gameweek if he comes away with only 6 points

    1. Homer21
      • 7 Years

      Really?

      1. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        6 points just doesn't cut it

    Tark FFS

    I'm just regretting that I didn't go triple Burnley defense (Pope, Bardsley, Pieters) on my free hit but benched Pieters for Saiss... come on Wolves, give Saiss a day off.

      Wolves had shorter clean sheet odds than Burnley and Man City, so I got Pat in place of Foster.

  19. Rainer

    3 years, 9 months ago

    That was it.

    BAP hope gone.

    Tark fail.

  21. Chucky

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years

      What?

  22. Supertrooper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Why hasn't Pope gotten a save for that? Still on 1 for me

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not a shot.

      1. Supertrooper
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        So if the ball would've gone in it is not a goal? If yes then it is a save.

        Who decides what is a shot or not?

  23. JustPark

    Come on, Tark! 15pts isn't that much.
