Second Striker – Andre Gray

The 25 year-old is a player that could easily be a star in the coming years. 23 goals in the EFL Championship a season ago helped Burnley get promoted back to the top-flight. Five goals this season sees him as the Clarets leading scorer so far. He is a speedster that causes havoc for opposing defenders, and is coming off a hat-trick against Sunderland. Another future England prospect if he keeps his mind straight.
