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.

    Non-stop all day and got home to suddenly remember fpl - 1 minute past the deadline.

    2 free transfers with a free hit to use next week so bye bye to those transfers forever.

    Ings and Burnley defender was coming in, so looking forward to Ings hatty and Burnley clean sheet.

      Ings only gets 1 a game mate

      Same situation here. Was going to do Salah + Greenwood -> Martial (C) + Ings but missed the deadline.

      This is better than my "I would've bought Stanislas if I had a spot" post. Good luck!

  3. Silecro

    KDB (c)

    He’s chasing Henry’s assist record - only 2 assists short of it.

    Clutching straws I know...

    For those who captained a Man Utd player, who is your vice captain?
    I went Ings and hopefully it's not needed.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A different United player

      1. TorresMagic™

        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, was like that but knowing my luck, game would get called off.

        1. Greek Freak
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I wouldn't mind the game being called off, I always lose ground when United play!

        thanks for replying TM.. I didn't but I copied it from Burnley twitter handle,I wasn't making it up... Anyways, sorry for bringing it up. Keep up the good work...

    6. GOTHAM City F.C.

      Its actually for having two accounts Jafooli

  7. SAUCY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    At least now having Pieters will soften the blow of another Pope 9 pointer

  8. ZimZalabim
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    so who was the positive test from the last round of testing ? did we ever find out ?

  9. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Need Norwich to score. My rival captained pope

    1. mrodgers91
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Brave, possible if he gets another 9 pointer. Who's your cap and any of the man u, city, jimenez or ings can easily beat that

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I went with Salah.

        He is leading by 15 points

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Smart. You're guaranteed at least 18 points.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I hate it

  10. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years

    Bruh Wood fail

    My transfers are going to backfire on me aren’t they?

    God dammit

  11. Shark Team

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Who agrees that Chris Wood has Harry Kane's body type and playing style?

    1. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah he has

    2. Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You mean he looks and plays like a 35 year old?

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

      Well fed farm boy types, better suited to rugby.

    4. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      But does he sound like Kane tho..

  12. el polako
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Couldnt decide between my Man United and City assets plus bit worried about fatigue so went for Mane(c).
    Guy I'm chasing in my ML has Bruno(c) - I guess its go big or go home time for me.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think Liverpool assets have the advantage. What if the FA Cup semis go into extra time - players will be rested for the PL matches.

      1. el polako
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Bruno looked shattered lately already - one of the reasons I went for Mane.
        Only worry is, will LFC be intrested in turning it on ?

        Had to risk though with 2 gw left.

  13. Nomar

    Norwich will score today, won’t they.

    Pieters owner of course.

      Laca has a better chance at getting 90

  19. JURGENAUT
    • 4 Years

    My ML rival has:

    Pope
    Lundstram TAA VVD Bellerin

    I have:

    Henderson
    TAA Pieters Aurier*

    1. One for All

  20. RamaJama
