Burnley are a club generally ignored by Dream Team gaffers.
At the time of writing, Nick Pope (£2.3m) is the most popular asset in Sean Dyche’s squad and he appears in just 0.6% of teams.
As eternal bottom-half dwellers, the Clarets don’t produce a huge amount of points as a collective but that doesn’t mean in-form individuals should be overlooked just because they call Turf Moor home.
Take Maxwel Cornet (£2.5m) for example.
The 25-year-old has impressed ever since he made his debut for his new club back in September.
His first goal came against Leicester to help Dyche’s men earn a point on the road and he soon followed that up with a brace away to Southampton.
This weekend past, he scored his fourth goal in as many league outings as Burnley beat Brentford 3-1 in what has to go down as something of an upset given how well the Bees has played since earning promotion to the top flight.
Only four players have scored more Premier League goals than Cornet this season: Mohamed Salah (£7.9m), Jamie Vardy (£4.4m), Michail Antonio (£4.4m) and Sadio Mane (£5.2m).
The Ivory Coast international is averaging a goal every 70 minutes in league this season – a fantastic rate considering he’s not a pure striker by any means.
Cornet partnered Chris Wood (£2.6m) up front against Brentford but he is a winger by trade and mostly played as a left-back for Lyon – which seems inconceivable now given how confident he looks in the final third.
We’ve classified Cornet as a midfielder in Dream Team and he’s the 17th-best player in his position after a 13-point haul at the weekend.
His tally of 38 puts him level with Bernardo Silva (£2.9m) and just one point behind Kevin De Bruyne (£5.7m) and Jack Grealish (£4.4m).
A Burnley midfielder mixing it with Man City assets is a rare phenomenon in the world of Dream Team and deserves recognition.
Cornet has the potential to be a savvy differential for bosses as his ownership currently sits at a paltry 0.1% – presumably his owners are season ticket holders at Turf Moor?
If he continues to play as a striker then he has a great chance of scoring 10+ goals this season – a tally that would surely result in healthy Dream Team returns for those in need of a cheap midfield option.
At the very least, Cornet has done enough to warrant attention.
