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.

      Why would you sub off Bamford. Wtf

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        dropped, he want to try something new for the next season, nothing to play for anymore

        Attention seeking from FPL community

      3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

        Why wouldn't you sub him off? Leeds had been playing with 10 men for 58 minutes.

      Are Burnley looking like they'll score or that Leeds CS is locked???

      Luke Ayling is never getting an attacking return is he

        No

    • justaguy9
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      It took me 30 seconds to figure out who exactly of leeds scored. 3 or 4 leeds players have the same hairstyle. Of course it was Harrison who my rival has.

        Man-bun posse!

    • OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Have Dallas and wood, wood proudly messing me up. So Dallas hoooooollld.

    • OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Wood and Vydra off

    • Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Westwood is a scummer really

    • It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Thanks for the memories Wood. Not quite the parting gift I was hoping for though.

    • smix
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Done with the advise on here! Will completely avoid for the last few GW’s and see if things work out any better

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Thanks for letting us know.

      2. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        You dropped your rattle

      3. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Too late now.

        Do it at the start of next season and see how you fare. I'm thinking of doing just that, ignoring the noise and just doing my own thing next season.

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

        Let me know what advise you got? 😉

      5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        If 10 people here say Bamford, 10 say Antonio and 10 Wood it ultimately is still your call!

    • Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Wood has gone

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        She'll be disappointed at that result.

    • Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Damn Wood...

    • Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Wood, Vydra and Bamford blanks - lovely stuff.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        You must be fun to have around....

    • mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Each time Bamford was subbed in the 50 something minute, he’s scored the next match

    • Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      In hindsight it's idiotic picking Bamford over Antonio.
      One is in team that has nothing to play for while the other is battling for a place in Europe.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Antonio away form is unreal too.

    • Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Wood off

    • SEXY SOLO SAUCE FOR THE LAS…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Wood barely lasted 60

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Solid effort tbf, the missus shouldn’t complain about that

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          She would if she found out

        2. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          Depends on wether he was semi solid or solid wood

          1. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 10 days ago

            By the sounds of things, wasn’t a great performance

      2. OLD Rafiki
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        He's a clown

      3. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Minutes or seconds?

    • JBG
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Antonios time to shine later today.

      1. OLD Rafiki
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        It's like a virus, so don't get your hopes high

    • Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      An 8 point hit for Foden and Bamford ...... 1 point return 🙁

    • Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Bamford owners mugged off there.

      Never fear, I bought Antonio instead so he’ll probably go off injured in the first half now

    • Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Need Leeds to conceed

    • Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Going Bamford over Antonio fail.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        And I kept telling you! But Antonio still to play. You never know with those hammies!

    • Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      C'mon Burnley, just 1 goal please!

    • Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Dallas been positively involved at all? Took a hit for the fella (in for Rudiger)

      1. justaguy9
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Be happy if he keeps the cs.

    • Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      They do have a midweek game. There'll be a lot of rotation but very likey Wood starts 37. At least can rely on Dyche sticking with his first choice players.

    • justaguy9
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      One rival actually c mcneil! Bizarre choice

    • Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Not watching the match - has Peacock Farrell been as comically bad as he was in that City game? If so Pool captaincy looking good next GW.

    • Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Guess which player most fantasy manager got in their team for gw36?

      1. Hooky
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Carson?

    • OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Damford instead of Antonio gone wrong

    • OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Dallas am on my knees, hold that sh*t

    • james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Played Meslier and Dallas. Left Alioski on my bench (behind Coufal) so don’t see me getting those points.

      Would be very happy with Mes and Dal clean sheets of course!
