Kevin Long - Goes 90 minutes in friendly Long (calf) started and went 90 minutes in a training-ground friendly Tuesday.

Impact Long has been out following calf surgery and it looks like he's almost ready to be an option again. While that's the case, he'll remain on the bench when healthy and it's unknown how far down he is on the depth chart, having made just 18 league starts the last three campaigns.

Connor Roberts - Plays 45 minutes in friendly Roberts (groin) played 45 minutes in a training-ground friendly Tuesday

Impact Roberts is working his way back from a groin injury suffered in the Euros and given that he only made it 45 minutes in a U23 friendly, there's no reason to think he'll be in the senior squad Saturday. He'll likely need another week of training before he can be an option for Burnley.

Dwight McNeil - Takes three shots Monday McNeil recorded three shots (three on target), four crosses (two accurate) and one corner versus Everton on Monday.

Impact McNeil led the team in shots on target but was unable to get one past Everton keeper Jordan Pickford. McNeil saw the bulk of the corners taken by Ashley Westwood but could push for a bigger share of the workload in Saturday's matchup with Arsenal.

Ashley Westwood - Launches six crosses Westwood registered six crosses (two accurate), five corners and three tackles (two won) in Monday's 3-1 loss to Everton.

Impact Westwood took all but one of Burnley's six corners and should continue to serve as the primary corner taker. As such, fantasy players may want to consider utilizing the midfielder in Saturday's matchup with Arsenal, though Dwight McNeil could push for a larger share of the corners.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Johann Gudmundsson - Picks up assist Monday Gudmundsson recorded one assist, four crosses (one accurate) and three interceptions against Everton on Monday.

Impact Gudmundsson trailed only Ashley Westwood for the team led in crosses but wasn't able to help his side find any more offensive after Everton took the lead. The midfielder has registered 15 crosses (three accurate) through the first four matches of the season and should continue to push the attack from the right side against Arsenal on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Mee - Scores goal in loss Mee scored a goal on two shots (one on target) in Monday's 3-1 defeat to Everton.

Impact Mee opened the scoring in the 53rd minute of Monday's contest before the Toffees responded with a flourish of goals. Considering the defender has never scored more than two goals in a season for Burnley, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him producing with any consistency moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Pope - Allows three goals in loss Pope conceded a trio of goals while making three saves in a loss to Everton on Monday.

Impact Pope has been under near-constant pressure this season, he has been called upon to make 14 saves through the first four matches and giving up eight goals along the way. A matchup with Arsenal on Saturday is unlikely to ease the burden on Pope, who could offer decent fantasy value if called upon again for a high volume of saves.

MATCHDAY: Everton looks to maintain unbeaten start in EPL

Everton looks to maintain its unbeaten start to the Premier League season under recently hired manager Rafa Benitez in a home match against Burnley

Nathan Collins - Working way back to fitness Collins (undisclosed) is working on the grass and progressing in his recovery, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Collins was a late addition to Burnley, but he hasn't played since February because of an injury. The good news is that it looks like he's edging closer to health and should be an option in the next few weeks where he'll supply depth for the back line.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Maxwel Cornet - Should be good for Monday Cornet suffered a bit of a dead leg on international duty with Ivory Coast but is expected to be ready for Monday's match against Everton, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Cornet still has a few days to train with the team and isn't expected to miss Monday's match. That said, he probably won't start just yet, as he completed a transfer to the squad last week. The former Lyon man should be fit, but he'll need to fight for a job in the XI.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Connor Roberts - Continues to work on fitness Roberts (groin) is getting back to full fitness and is unlikely to debut Monday at Everton, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Roberts signed with Burnley last week and probably won't make his debut until fully fit. He originally suffered this injury over the summer in the Euros, so he'll need some time with the team to not only get back his fitness but also learn the Burnley way.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ashley Westwood - Goes 90 against Leeds Westwood (toe) had two corners, two chances created and six crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Leeds.

Impact Westwood was back in his usual role against Leeds, taking corners and sending in crosses from set pieces. Fortunately, his toe injury wasn't serious and he should remain in the starting XI going forward. He's in the same role as prior campaigns which led to three goals and three assists in 38 starts last season.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jay Rodriguez - One start thus far Rodriguez has started just one of Burnley's opening three matches this season.

Impact Rodriguez opened the season as a starter against Brighton but has since seen just 15 minutes in the past two games. The forward will likely continue to serve as a backup to both Ashely Barnes and Chris Wood but will see starts if either come up injured.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Cork - Starts opening two games Cork has started two of Burnley's three matches to open the new season.

Impact Cork started Burnley's opening two fixtures before being on the bench for their most recent match against Leeds. The midfielder will likely continue in a similar role for Burnley and does not have much upside when in the lineup.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Charlie Taylor - Nailed on starter Taylor has started all three of Burnley's matches to start the new season.

Impact Taylor has been nailed on thus far, starting all three games for Burnley. The defender has the second highest amount of tackles on the team while leading Burnley with his seven interceptions.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Lennon - Makes two tackles as sub Lennon made two tackles (one won) and picked up a yellow card in 27 minutes during Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leeds.

Impact Lennon is back to Burnley and made the first appearance in his return. He couldn't do much to avoid the home draw against his former club during his limited time in the field, while receiving a yellow card in the proccess. The midfielder will now look for more playing time at Everton on Sep 13.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Brownhill - Makes two interceptions in draw Brownhill registered two off-target shots, one accurate cross, two interceptions, two clearances and a yellow card in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leeds.

Impact Brownhill wasn't very active during the match, but co-led his side in interceptions. The midfielder also received his first yellow card of the season, though. He will now look to bounce back when they visit Everton on Sep 13.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Matthew Lowton - Assists in home draw Lowton assisted one goal from his only chance created, took one off-target shot, made three tackles (two won), one interception, four clearances and one block in Sunday's 1-1 draw...

Impact Lowton created Chris Wood's opener in the 56th minute, but they conceded a late equalizer to Leeds and ended up with the home draw. That was his first assist of the season. The right-back will now likely have more defensive duties when they visit Everton on Sep 13.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Wood - Scores against Leeds Wood scored one goal from three shots, created three chances and made one tackle (won) in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leeds.

Impact Wood scored the opener in the 61st minute, while leading his side in shots and chances created during the match. That was his first goal of the season, after posting 12 last campaign. The forward will now look to find the back of the net again at Everton on Sep 13.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Mee - Makes seven clearances in draw Mee took one off-target shot, created one chance, made one interception, seven clearances and one block and picked up a yellow card in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leeds.

Impact Mee led his side in clearances as they were carrying the clean sheet until late in the game, but they allowed the equalizer in the 86th minute and settled for one point at home. The centerback also received his first yellow card of the season. He will now face another tough matchup at Everton on Sep 13.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Connor Roberts - Signs with Burnley Roberts has signed with Burnley on a four-year deal from Swansea City.

Impact Roberts is the second signing in the past few days for Burnley, something rarely seen from the club. After receiving 78 starts at Swansea the last two seasons, he'll have a bit more competition for starts at Burnley, mainly because Matthew Lowton has been the starting right-back the last five seasons.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ashley Barnes - Makes three tackles in draw Barnes registered one off-target shot, one chance created, three tackles (one won) and a yellow card in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leeds.

Impact Barnes wasn't very active on offense and couldn't help them earn three points at home. The forward has yet to score or assist in the season, but received his first yellow card in the proccess. He will look to get on the scoresheet when they visit Everton on Sep 13.
