Budget enabler Josh Brownhill is top for attacking returns since Gameweek 33 with three. Only three Burnley players have more than one attacking return in this period.
The defence
Burnley have kept two clean sheets since Gameweek 33, only three teams have kept more.
However, the injury to James Tarkowski could be an issue for Burnley. Tarkowski was substituted in Gameween 33 with a hamstring issue and is currently flagged in the game. With Ben Mee also injured Burnley could have a central defensive headache ahead of the Double Gameweek.

Since Gameweek 33 Nathan Collins is Burnley’s most threatening defender with eight goal attempts. Only Weghorst and McNeil have had more than the defender. Connor Roberts has created the most chances of all the defenders in the same period with six.
Ownership ahead of Double Gameweek 36
Weghorst is Burnley’s most heavily owned player, however he is owned by just 4.5% of the game. He is however owned by 22.08% of the top 10k.
This makes owning any Burnley player a differential ahead of Double Gameweek 37.
Overall
Burnley are one of only five teams to double in Gameweek 37. This makes them an attractive option on paper. However, the fixtures look difficult for a clean sheet with matches against Spurs and Aston Villa. Investing in the likes of Cornet or Brownhill however could be wise, given Burnley need to score goals to try and stay in the league.
