A pair of favourable Gameweek 24 matches against Crystal Palace and Fulham lifts the prospects of Burnley’s defence in Fantasy Premier League.
Burnley are among only four sides to play twice in the upcoming round of fixtures, with Nick Pope (£5.5m) and Ben Mee (£5.0m) their standout performers at the back this season.

Goalkeeper Pope has averaged 9.9 points per match in the seven contests he has kept a clean sheet.
Centre-back Mee has scored twice and returned six clean sheets in his 16 appearances, highlighting his potential at both ends of the pitch.
They are included in a Scout Selection that lines up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) handed the armband and Ilkay Gundogan (£6.0m) named vice-captain.
Nick Pope (BUR) £5.5m
A total of five double-figure hauls this season indicate the Burnley No 1 could prove a handy captaincy option for Double Gameweek 24.
Ruben Dias (MCI) £6.1m
The centre-back has recovered from illness ahead of Manchester City’s encounters with Tottenham Hotspur and Everton.
Dias offers a secure route into a defence with 11 clean sheets in their last 14 encounters, having started every match since making his debut in Gameweek 4.
Lucas Digne (EVE) £6.1m
Everton’s left-back is expected to overcome a knock for his back-to-back home matches against Fulham and Man City. Digne has produced seven FPL assists in only 13 appearances this season.
Ben Mee (BUR) £5.0m
An ownership of only 4.5 per cent makes the Burnley defender a major differential for his two matches.
Raheem Sterling (MCI) £11.6m
The Man City wide man has scored in four of his last five matches, claiming 38 points. Sterling's total of eight shots in the box in the last four Gameweeks is joint-top among players with a Double Gameweek 24.
Ilkay Gundogan (MCI) £6.0m
The most-bought player in the Gameweek has earned more than 580,000 new owners. All five Gundogan’s double-digit returns this season have come in his last 11 appearances.
Bruno Fernandes (MUN) £11.5m
Manchester United’s playmaker visits a West Bromwich Albion side who have conceded 28 goals in their 10 matches under Sam Allardyce. Fernandes has produced nine double-figure hauls this season, more than any other player in Fantasy.
James Rodriguez (EVE) £7.7m
The Everton playmaker has stepped up his goal threat recently, scoring against Leicester City and Man Utd in two of his last three outings. Four of Rodriguez’s five goals this season and all three of his assists have come at Goodison Park, where the Toffees play both GW24 matches.
Ademola Lookman (FUL) £5.0m
The Fulham winger could prove a handy source of value for their matches against Everton and Burnley. Lookman’s 45 shots and 33 key passes both rank top for the Cottagers since he made his debut in Gameweek 4.
Richarlison (EVE) £7.8m
The Brazilian returned to form with two goals in Everton’s FA Cup win over Spurs. Richarlison looks set to play up front for the first of his team's two matches, at least, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) ruled out of their meeting with Fulham due to a hamstring problem.
Edinson Cavani (MUN) £7.9m
The Uruguayan travels to West Brom having scored against Southampton and Everton in the last two Gameweeks. Cavani’s four big chances in the last four Gameweeks is a team-leading total.
Remember, the Gameweek 24 deadline is at 11:00 GMT on Saturday 13 February.
