The penultimate match of Gameweek 13 takes place at Bramall Lane, with Sheffield United entertaining Manchester United.

Kick-off in Sunday’s only Premier League fixture is at 16:30 GMT.

There is plenty of interest for Fantasy Premier League managers in this game, with David de Gea (£5.5m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m), Harry Maguire (£5.3m), Daniel James (£6.2m), Marcus Rashford (£8.6m) and John Lundstram (£4.9m) all sitting in more than 10% of FPL squads.

All six of those players start in South Yorkshire today.

Anthony Martial (£7.8m), who is on the cusp of a double-digit ownership himself, also features in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting XI.

The Norwegian head coach has made just one alteration to his Gameweek 12 line-up, with Phil Jones (£4.8m) replacing the injured Scott McTominay (£5.1m).

Whether Jones is a like-for-like swap for the Scot in midfield or joins a back three remains to be seen, with Solskjaer saying ahead of kick-off:

Phil has been training well. He’s got experience of playing both central midfield and at the back. When you show the attitude he’s shown in training, it’s time for him to get a chance. Marcos [Rojo] is injured, Axel [Tuanzebe] isn’t really ready to come in so it was an easy option.

Brandon Williams (£4.0m) gets his second successive start at left-back (or wing-back), keeping the benched Ashley Young (£5.4m) out of the side despite the latter’s return from suspension.

Solskjaer said of that decision:

Brandon’s played really well in every game he’s played. I didn’t find any reason to leave him out. It’s a testing stadium for him to play at so it’s a good opportunity to show his mentality because his temperament is one of his strengths.

Chris Wilder makes two enforced changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur a fortnight ago.

Dean Henderson (£4.7m) – owned by just over 5% of Fantasy managers – is ineligible to face his parent club, so Simon Moore (£4.4m) deputises for the on-loan goalkeeper for the hosts.

The hitherto ever-present John Egan (£4.5m) hasn’t recovered from a calf injury so Phil Jagielka (£4.2m) gets his first Premier League start of the season.

Lys Mousset (£5.0m) and David McGoldrick (£5.4m) again start up front.

The Blades have kept clean sheets in three of their six home fixtures in 2019/20 and conceded just four goals in those half-dozen matches.

Solskjaer’s troops have won just one of their six away games this season and are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road.

Three of the Red Devils’ five away goals came at Carrow Road in Gameweek 10.

Sheffield United XI: Moore, O’Connell, Jagielka, Basham, Stevens, Baldock, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Mousset, McGoldrick.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Jones, Maguire, Lindelof, Williams, Pereira, Fred, James, Martial, Rashford.

    Assistant ref got bored of Maguire and Jones falling over all the time and said "f*** it, I'll let it go this time".

    How can you justify not having the Lord that is Lundstram in your team??

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Are there any active teams that don’t?

        well yeah of course?

        There's at least one team in my mini league that dared to bench him. Note to self: Never bench thy Lord.

      He should be the most owned in the game!

  8. Brosstan

    Lol, Lundstram is a god

    1. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He honestly could have scored TWO goals already, if not for great saves from DDG

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Very true

  9. Ginkapo FPL

    Its not good fortune to have four players in the box Gary Neville. Thats how the Blades play, increase the likelyhood of getting rebounds.

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He's a berk.

  10. Party time
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Lundstram now a captain material!!!

  11. trikster102

    Why is Phil Jones still in this squad again?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ole picked him cause he can play at the back and midfield.

      1. Bada Bing
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        And he's terrible at both.

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          This

  12. Twisted Saltergater

    Lundstram carrying my TAA pick again

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Even though it was Phil Jones, that was brilliant from Mousset.

  14. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    I jinxed it had just said two mins earlier that Jones was doing well 😆

  15. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Wilder definitely targeting Jones and Maguire here with his Mousset weapon

  16. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Benched Lundstram again.

    Than hurts on so many levels. 🙁

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      WHY???? He's an OOP attacking midfielder playing in the second best defence in the league??!

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I will be asking myself that question long into the night Limbo.

        1. Bada Bing
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          You need to have a strong word with yourself.

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Surely you've learnt your lesson now.

    3. NWA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You can only blame yourself. I have done this mistake once and will not do it this season again

    Feels good to own the Lord for the first time this year

  18. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 8 Years

  19. Strchld

  20. Lestat
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    why was that not given as a Lundstram assist??

    1. TyroneGAA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It was wise up

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

  21. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Lundstramassist

    Should have had a goal but for DDG too

    He’s not safe to bench next week is he 🙁

  22. JamTart
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Regretting picking Mount over Lund now!

  23. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years

    Mousset humiliated Jones

    1. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yep!

  24. diesel001

    This is why Wilder should be Everton manager IMO. Gets that you need to keep things tight and work-rate helps a lot.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He needs to stay right where he is. Both Sheffield clubs have massive potential.

  25. Differentiator

    LUNDY HERO

    NEVER BENCH

  26. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years

    Has Anthony Martial actually touched it yet?

  27. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Even Sheffield United have a better central midfield...

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    The question isn't why don't you have lundy. It's why do people not captain lundy?
