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.

    Having both TAA and Robbo doesn't seem a bright idea now. Soy on bench this week(again) 🙁

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      He'll be at Barca.

    2. potatoace

      6.0 - 6.5 mid.

    3. Samurai Blue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      7.0 midfielder if he keeps this up

    4. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He'll be a 5.5 mid.

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

        Without clean sheets he'd be on the same points as McGinn.

      Midfielder in FPL so irrelevant 😛

    6. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Listed as a midfielder, probs 6m

    7. Miniboss
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Probably captaining Juventus

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

    United need their captain, leader, world class defender to step up here.

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

      Is Vidic coming back?

  6. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Sheffield truly is a great addition to the PL.
    Hard working team, good defence and try to play some nice football.

  7. martyhan
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Team is
    Gazzinaga McGovern
    Lundstrum Rico soyo Taa tomori
    Son Salah mount cantwell kdb
    Tammy vardy greenwood

    2.4 itb

    What change would you do
    A. Mount to pulisc
    B. Salah to mane
    C.tomori to robbo
    D. Save
    E. Something else

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Team looks good.
      If Salah is fit I would hold. Mount could come good next week.
      Tomori great fixtures as well.

      1. martyhan
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Just seeing the 2.4 itb makes me feel like I should spend it but if I can save I will. Salah if fit could actually be good next week. I hope

        1. Free Hat
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          It can be tempting!
          Perhaps save for 2ft next week and try to get in Mane alongside Salah.
          Mane and Pulisic are great picks, but removing Mount and Salah with those fixtures seems bit sideways and could backfire.

    MARTIAL TOUCHED THE BALL....!!!

    He did...I saw it...it was an accident but he definitely touched it.

    Son vs Salah money not a factor?

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Son even if money not a factor.

      Spoiler: money is always a factor.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'm actually kind of indifferent.

        Salah + Tomori vs Son + Pulisic for the next 4.

        Tomori on the bench.

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

      Son

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Salah if 100%.

    4. Pinturicchio10
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Assuming he's fit, Salah all day.

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

      Salah will score more points. Don't let this week trick you. (I own both)

    6. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Salah. But there’s a reason for the gulf in price

  21. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Jones was given a contract extension till 2023 as well. :facepalm:

  22. tm245

    Lundy just killed that kid with his cross.

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

    Take the kid off, Ole.

    He’s lost.

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

      And get the other kid, Garner on.

  24. No Professionals
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Lundstram's playing style is beautifully uncomplicated

  27. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Why did EVERTON release Lundstrum?
    Typical.

    1. No Professionals
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Probably for the same reason Sheffield united didn't play him last season. Can be funny how things work out.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago
