Raphinha and Phillips start as Leeds visit Burnley in Blank Gameweek 36

Leeds are boosted by the return of two key starting players as they travel to Burnley on Saturday lunchtime.

After assisting in his substitute’s appearance against Spurs, Raphinha (£5.5m) makes a full return from his recent injury by featuring from the beginning this afternoon.

The Brazilian could be stationed on the right-hand side of a Leeds’ midfield-quartet, perhaps joined there by fellow winger Jack Harrison (£5.5m) as well as Mateusz Klich (£5.2m) and out-of-position Fantasy Premier League defender Stuart Dallas (£5.4m).

However, a 3-3-1-3 formation is also a possibility, which could feature Raphinha and Harrison either side of Patrick Bamford (£6.5m).

Leeds’ prospects are also improved by Kalvin Phillips‘ (£4.9m) first start since Gameweek 33.

Burnley’s shape is much easier to figure out with Sean Dyche going with his usual 4-4-2 formation.

The biggest news coming out of the Clarets’ camp is, of course, the shoulder injury to Nick Pope (£5.5m), keeping him out of Blank Gameweek 36.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell (£4.0m) comes in for the England international but is protected by the usual first-choice back-four of Charlie Taylor (£4.4m), Ben Mee (£4.7m), James Tarkowski (£5.3m) and Matt Lowton (£4.4m).

Dwight McNeil (£5.7m) and Josh Brownhill (£4.9m) provide the width today while Chris Wood (£6.5m) and Matej Vydra (£4.8m) lead the line together for the ninth time in the last 10 Premier League matches.

Blank Gameweek 36 Line-ups

Burnley XI: Peacock-Farrell; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Brownhill; Wood, Vydra.

Leeds United XI: Meslier; Alioski, Struijk, Llorente, Ayling; K Phillips; Harrison, Dallas, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

  5. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Raph first sub. Zzzz

  6. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Should have brought Raphinha instead of trying to be clever and get Foden

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    -8 for Raph already paying back lol

  8. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Benchedd Raphinaa

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Bruno no game tho pheww

  9. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Can somebody explain the rule as to why that was a Raphina assist? He passed it to Klich in his own half which feels a bit weird to give.

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      lucky FPL assist

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah it's fpl in UCL FF is not

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      by definition, it was the last pass

      Please take a look at Cahill assist vs Sheffield 😀

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      U have been on this site for 6 years and playing fpl for more than that probably. Its always been the case

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      He was the direct pass to a goal. Pretty simple really.

    5. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Are you blind? It was past the line of scrimmage. Sheesh.

    6. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Last players to complete the pass to the player who scored so it counts as a FPL assist. Interesting I was reading rules for the Euro2020 fantasy and they say if a player goes on a solo run and scores then an assist won't be awarded.

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Coufal got similar for Lingard vs Leicester

      4 yard pass to Lingard outside his own penalty box - JLingz runs 80 yards past 4 players & scores lol

    8. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Jan Vertonghen passed to Son before that goal v Burnley.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Definite winner of the laziest assist award

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    That Raphinha Watkins Lingard benching dilemma went well 🙁 Should have benched Watkins instead in hindsight.

    The problem is that the assist was jammy in the UCL FF wouldn't have been given.

    Hope some unexpected rotation

    1. Tango74
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      I not have tv on, why is everyone saying jammy assist .

      I got raphina benched but on for mahrez

    I can't tell the diffence between Bamford and Daniel Radcliffe anymore.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Do you mean Paula Radcliffe?

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      One has more considered public views. (Bamford).

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Radcliffe would have more FPL points.

    4. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Let's hope Harry Potter keeps running decoys all match, he trolled me as an owner.

    5. hueycho
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Good one

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Raphinha first sub for me 🙁

  13. Babit1967
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Lovely Raphinha

  14. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    HT, phewww

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Bielsa is probably the best manager in the world

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      100%

    2. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Arteta?

    3. Party time
        3 years, 4 days ago

        No imo. Pep & Simeone

    4. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Maddison and Fernandes to Raphinha and Salah for a hit paying off so far.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Almost zero percent chance of backfiring, even if both didnt get any attacking returns 😀

    5. BIG BOY BRUNO
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      OMG YES GET IN!

    6. BIG BOY BRUNO
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Klich finally rewarding those GW3 WCers

    7. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Great pass by Raphinha - wonderful assist.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        🙂

      2. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        He actially played a role in that goal in bringing the ball to the half way line

        Klich didnt beat aby players just run a few meters then took a shot

      3. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        A goal now would be lovely

      4. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        What was better he initially cleared the danger on the ground!

      5. A. PRISE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Yep, classic fpl

    8. Ronnies
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Who is best captain next Gameweek?

      A) Bruno - FULHAM
      B) Salah - Burnley
      C) Kane - ASTON VILLA

      Cheers.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years

        A

      2. JBG
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        A

    9. JBG
      • 6 Years

      Lowton trademark half-volley outside the box goal needed in the 2nd half.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        trademark 😆

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          It's literally one of the highlights of my season... which says alot.

        2. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Every goal he has scored has been a volley

          All 2 of them

    10. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      I played Gundogan over Raphinha. That's enough now Raph, save them for midweek.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        I played Mahrez with Raph on the bench, so we are enemies for a while. (smile)

        1. Tango74
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Same ?

          Why do people want bench players to do rubbish ?

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 days ago

            So that they dont feel like it was a wrong decision to bench them.

            1. Tango74
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 4 days ago

              But if your starter doesn’t play wouldnt you want sub who is replacing them to have sh1t load of points?

    11. Tango74
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      If you have as sub why would you want him to score more ?

    12. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Rpahina will be hooked soon hopefully makes the 60 mins

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Good point!

      2. A. PRISE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        True

    13. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Now let’s hope Dallas can get on the scoresheet and then be subbed after the cs points are added so Wood can score a brace. Not asking for much really am I?

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Or maybe just Rodriguez goal for 1-1 🙂

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Booooo 😉

      2. Tango74
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Make it a wood HT after 🙂

    14. ClassiX

      Rangers 45mins away from unbeaten season

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        The Gerradables.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Joke league, though.

    15. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      It was a genius assist from Rafinha

    16. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Struijk has been brilliant for me. Every time I need to play him he gets a CS, then gets 0, 1 or 2 on my bench. Perfect £3.9m player. Hope he can keep that run for me in the second half.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        I don't think Leeds can sell him during half time, should be safe.

    17. Party time
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Just need Bamford brace & Dallas assist

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Just

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Bamford getting angry

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Did he write an angry toned letter?

        2. Make United Great Again

          That’s a scary sight.
