BUR Vs SHU Dream11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
Back after sitting out the side’s affair against Manchester United, Sheffield United’ Dean Henderson showed just why he’s been considered as one of the finest shot stoppers in the league against Tottenham. The player occulted a string of shots in that tie, ones which were vindictive of his calibre as a custodian of the goal.
Defenders
Burnley’s captain and CB, Ben Mee has always had a penchant for getting on the end of headers. The player has a mean and lethal header, one capable of ripping the goal, a skill set he utilised to full effect the last time around to rope in a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace.
The performance makes him the first pick from a club which wills see us immerse ourselves in its entire backline. This is a myriad and guile filled intricate Burnley backline, a unit for which shunning a relatively tentative Sheffield attacking contingent won’t be the toughest of jobs.
It sees us indulge in the trio of James Tarkowski, Charlie Taylor and Phil Bardsley while the attacking side of the game will see the visiting team’s wingback, George Baldock be our selection from the side.
Midfielders
With Fleck, Sheffield United’s top scorer out for the side, the side found itself in a real quagmire. An already regressing attacking slot was devoid of the services of its most pivotal name, gaping hole which looked too tricky to cover.
It was at this time that Sander Berge showed why Sheffield United had broken the bank for him. The side’s most expensive signing scored for the side against Tottenham, a goal which saw him endear himself to the club’s ardent supporters.
Elsewhere, Burnley will see us imbed a partnership from the side, one which comprises of then vibrant Dwight McNeil and Ashely Westwood, two players who have both provided the 6 assists apiece to the club.
Strikers
With 6 goals and 4 assists this season, Lys Mousset has emerged as the focal point of this Sheffield United attacking unit. The striker is currently the team’s leading scorer after scoring in the team’s 3-1 win, a goal which showed why he’s considered as the team’s mainstay in strike.
Elsewhere, the 6 goals for Jay Rodriguez will see us opt for the striker for Burnley as we keep things levelly balanced in this component of our side.
Captain And Vice-Captain
After his goal in the previous encounter, Mee will be our captain for the day while Baldock is the vice-captain.
