Fantasy Football Tips

Captain Options

Raphinha is the standout captain choice this fixture. A lot of Burnley’s goals are conceded from the left flank and the Brazilian can take advantage of that.

Patrick Bamford started every league game last season and plundered 17 goals and seven assists. He is also the designated penalty taker of his side.

Differential Pick

Our differential pick for this game is Dwight McNeil. The English winger has high assist potential and is also on some set pieces.

BUR vs LU Dream11 Teams

Goalkeeper – I Meslier
Defenders – M Lowton, C Taylor, D Llorente

Likely Winner:

• Just one of the last 22 league meetings between Burnley and Leeds has ended in a draw
• Leeds’ 4-0 win at Turf Moor last year was Sean Dyche’s heaviest home defeat as Burnley manager.
• Leeds United are slight favorites in this game due to the attacking threat they possess.

Burnley: 27/11
Leeds United: 24/19
