Burnley's squad leaned towards the more youthful side last campaign, with the majority of their players in the youth or peak categories and just 30-year-old Josh Laurent the only regular to border the veteran category. Over the summer, the Clarets have lost key players in James Trafford, Josh Brownhill and CJ Egan-Riley, with a number departing from each of the age profiles. To offset, the Clarets have brought in a number of new faces, spread equally across the categories with two in the youth bracket, two in peak and two more experienced ones.
We have looked into the age profile of Burnley's players for the 2025-26 season and recorded what percentage of minutes each of them played last campaign.
For the purpose of this exercise, we have deemed those under 24 as youth, between 24 and 30 as in their peak years and anyone over 30 to be a veteran.
The green represents new signings, who naturally did not play, red are those that have since left the club and yellow are all those that remain.

To offset, the Clarets have brought in a number of new faces, spread equally across the categories with two in the youth bracket, two in peak and two more experienced ones. As far as over-30s go, arrivals Kyle Walker (34) and Martin Dubravka (36) are doing all the lifting in terms of experience.
Whether Scott Parker has enough nous in his squad will soon become evident for their Premier League return, starting on Saturday at Tottenham.
