Ben Mee - Doubtful Sunday Mee (knee) is likely a long shot to play against Newcastle United on Sunday after manager Mike Jackson told reporters, "Jay's been with the physios and is out on the grass so it's...
Impact Mee had yet to resume full first-team training ahead of Thursday's clash with Aston Villa so it shouldn't come as a surprise he is unlikely to be in action Sunday either. If he does in fact miss out, Mee will end the year having featured in all 21 of his appearances this season in which he recorded three goals on 19 shots (four on target), four crosses (one accurate) and 92 clearances.
MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
James Tarkowski - Goes full 90 in return Tarkowski made four clearances and created two chances in 90 minutes of Thursday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.
Impact Tarkowski didn't have any setbacks Thursday, so he should be back in the starting XI Sunday. It's a massive home finale for Burnley, who could stay above relegation with a win, though even a draw could do them well, as they have the goal differential edge on Leeds.

Jay Rodriguez - May be option Sunday Rodriguez (hamstring) could be available against Newcastle United on Sunday after caretaker manager Mike Jackson told reporters, "Jay's been with the physios and is out on the gras...
Impact Rodriguez has been sidelined for the club's last four contests but might be able to get back onto the pitch for the season finale. If given the all-clear, the forward could be immediately pressed into the starting XI, having recorded one goal on 13 shots (four on target), four crosses (two accurate) and three chances created.

Nick Pope - Heroic for draw Pope made eight saves and one clearance during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Impact Pope made eight saves on nine shots faced to put together an absolutely heroic performance during Thursday's draw. The keeper isn't on a top team, but due to the immense amount of volume he faces he ends up with consistently good fantasy showings. Pope will close the season out against Newcastle on Sunday.
MAY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Matthew Lowton - Sent off in draw Lowton was shown a red card during Thursday's one-all draw with Aston Villa.
Impact Lowton's season is over after coming off the bench for the final five minutes and promptly being sent off. The defender will be suspended for the final match of the campaign, against Newcastle. Lowton made 25 appearances and 20 starts during the 2021/22 campaign, scoring once and providing two assists.
MAY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dwight McNeil - Creates chance in draw McNeil created one chance and sent in three crosses (two accurate) during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Impact McNeil created a single chance during Thursday's draw, though that was about it for offensive production from the midfielder. 2022 has been an awful year for McNeil, who has only one assist on the season after putting up multiple goals and assists in each of the last three campaigns. McNeil will hope to end on some sort of high note during Sunday's clash with Newcastle.
MAY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Maxwel Cornet - Four crosses in draw Cornet sent in four crosses (none accurate) during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Impact Cornet sent in four crosses during Thursday's draw, but only created one chance with those crosses. The forward has eight goals on the season, but in the woeful Burnley attack it's hard to trust Cornet's upside. Next up is the season finale against Newcastle on Sunday.
MAY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ashley Barnes - Converts PK Barnes scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Thursday's one-all draw with Aston Villa.
Impact Barnes finally scored his first goal of the season, as he well and truly has fallen out of the starting XI. The forward offers little-to-nothing to Burnley, and has only made seven starts this season. He is unlikely to be any sort of fantasy option against Newcastle on Sunday.
MAY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jay Rodriguez - Left out Thursday Rodriguez (hamstring) will not be included in the match-day squad versus Aston Villa on Thursday.
Impact Rodriguez will be on the shelf for his fourth straight contest due to his hamstring problem. With the quick turnaround before the season finale against Newcastle United on Sunday, Rodriguez could be done for the year. If he does start, the forward should be capable of offering top-half fantasy value considering he registered one goal on 13 shots (four on target), four crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in his previous five contests.
MAY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Pieters - Still out Thursday Pieters (knee) will not be in the squad against Aston Villa on Thursday.
Impact Pieters has featured in the match-day squad just once since late February, a substitute appearance versus Villa on May 7 during which he logged 18 minutes while recording one assist, three tackles (zero won) and one interception. At this point, it's hard to imagine the defender will be cleared in time suit face Newcastle United on Sunday.
MAY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
James Tarkowski - Starting versus Villa Tarkowski (hamstring) will feature in the starting XI against Aston Villa on Thursday.
Impact Tarkowski returns after missing just one match due to his hamstring problem. In his last five outings, the central defender has generated four shots (one on target), 21 clearances and nine tackles (six won). Barring any setbacks, Tarkowski should be able to start again in the season finale versus Newcastle United on Sunday despite the quick turnaround.

MATCHDAY: Everton can secure EPL survival before final round
Before the final round on Sunday, the Premier League has three games on tap that had been postponed earlier in the seasonMAY 18, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Erik Pieters - Dealing with unknown issue Pieters hasn't been training with the team after missing Sunday's loss against Tottenham.
Impact Tottenham assisted off the bench a week ago, but it looks like his knee issue is back and bugging him again. It's a tough break for the defender, who got a decent bit of run in February before the injury. Unless something changes, he'll finish with eight starts this season, his fewest in his three-season Burnley career.

Ben Mee - Still working on fitness Mee (knee) continues to work on the grass, stepping up his fitness, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.
Impact Mee has been working alone on the pitch for about a week now, but until he's back in full training he won't be pushed into the squad. While James Tarkowski has a chance to feature in the final two contests, Mee remains a major doubt to take part for Burnley.
MAY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Johann Gudmundsson - Back with team, running on grass Gudmundsson (calf) is back on the grass and stepping up training though he won't appear again this season, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.
Impact Gudmundsson needed to go out of the country to rehab his calf injury and won't feature again this season. He's at least back with the team and could be back health in the coming weeks. Prior to injury, things were going well for him, compiling an assist with 19 shots and 44 crosses in 18 appearances (13 starts).
MAY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
James Tarkowski - On grass running Tarkowski (hamstring) is on the grass and "stepping things up" ahead of Thursday's trip to Aston Villa, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.
Impact It looks like it was only a hamstring tweak for Tarkowski, but he's still not of the woods yet. He's still a doubt to feature for the final two matches, but with the Premier League on the line, it wouldn't be surprising if he was in the starting XI in either contest, taking the spot of Kevin Long.
MAY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jay Rodriguez - Slight chance for Thursday Rodriguez (hamstring) "is stepping up now" and there is a possibility for him to be ready Thursday against Aston Villa, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.
Impact Rodriguez has missed the last few weeks with a hamstring injury and is a doubt to make an immediate return to the starting XI Thursday. If all goes well, he could feature in the final two matches, but it's hard to see him going a full 90 in either contest given the lack of time between games.
