Fantasy Premier League managers will have to be shrewd in their decision making when it comes to picking Sheffield United players for the remainder of the season.

Their Double Gameweek in the opening round has heightened interest in their assets but it can be difficult to work out which ones are the best to consider without looking at the underlying statistics.

We are continuing our series of refresher articles, highlighting the best players at each club in the period just before the coronavirus suspension.

As we are sure you understand, a lot has changed since the climax of Gameweek 29, with Premier League players unable to fully train with their team-mates for nearly three months. 

However, it should still serve to know who was performing best before the break.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those signed up to a valid package can access it in full.

    Honest question.

    I have started to use my unlimited transfers and pressed confirm.

    If I now use my Freehit will my team revert to my wk 38 team?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Unfortunately yes.

    4. JfA
      • 7 Years

      Hope you never spent too much time on your first draft.

    1. Nightcrawler

      Thanks.
      Who do you prefer, Jimenez or Abraham as a one week punt for GW30?

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Jimenez

    4. Ginkapo FPL

      How clinical has he been in past seasons?

        I will share more numbers on this soon.

  3. Netters2018
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Dubravka Targett Sterling Saka Samatta
    Or
    B) Ederson Doherty Barnes, Mcginn Abraham
    Thoughts please

    1. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Probably B unless Sterling scores a hatrick

    2. Crashjct
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would have to see the rest of your team, is it for FH or going forward?

    4. Netters2018
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      One week only wildcarding nxt week. My team is on previous page listed out but a couple of people didnt like me listing it all out so tried this way

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B feels nicer

  4. Karhumies
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Very close to my FH team plan. Can you get someone on the bench who plays in case someone pulls a muscle in pre-game warmup or something due to poor match fitness? Lascelles, Aarons, Saiss and Duda are some of the cheap viable options.

  5. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Grealish (C), everyone?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would you see he is the most nailed on midfielder for 180 minutes this week?

      Midfielder with FPL in mind (Fernandinho / Xhaka etc do not count)

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would rather Lundstram (C) for excitement 😉

  6. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is there much truth to these Salah and Robbo injuries?

    Makes it much easier not to have a Liv attacker if so

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No injuries it was precautionary was the report.

  7. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Have a pretty poor TV and though I had a half-decent BB30+ side until I realised I still had Button in goal. Back to the drawing board.

    Leno | Button
    TAA | Lundstram | Baldock | O'Connell | Lascelles
    KDB | Mahrez | Grealish | Fernandes | Cantwell
    Agüero | Aubameyang | Nketiah

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 DGW keepers a must for bench boost yeah.

      Downgrade mahrez to a villa mid and button to ederson?

    2. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Baldock + Button
      to
      Egan + Reina (or whoever ends up playing in goal for AVL)
      should resolve the issue

  8. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry another A or B for you to ponder

    A) Mahrez & Abraham
    Or
    B) Pulisic & Jesus

    1. chelseabrad

    6 years, 1 month ago

    How am I looking? BB this week, WC next week.

    Team value is awful so not a lot to play with and quite a way behind in my leagues, so any suggestions appreciated! 0.3 remaining itb.

    Ederson Leno
    Stevens O'Connell Egan Targett Lascalles
    KDB Mount Saka Grealish McGinn

      Looks fine

  10. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which is a better pint this week?
    (Draft league)

    A) M. Antonio (possible OOP)
    B) M. Targett (DGW, leaky defense, takes a few set pieces)

    1. Scheister
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      *punt ...will be having pints regardless of this decision

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Heineken for me.

      B of those two but not particularly keen on either.

      1. Scheister
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers
        It’s a pretty large league, need to look deep at times

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Estrella Galicia and B.

      1. Scheister
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Classy!
        Likely Stella or Paulaner here.
        And currently on B as well, a DGW doesn’t hurt

    4. FPL Diet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

  11. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Are there any pressers before the deadline?

    1. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Apparently they're going to be the most open they've ever been, not sure why they've come to that conclusion mind?

  12. Vazza
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Responses would be highly appreciated.

    On a FH - which combo is better

    1. Henderson*, Alonso, TAA, Abraham

    2. Henderson*, Alonso, Bruno, Abraham

    3. Henderson*, TAA, Martial, Abraham

    4. Leno*, Stevens*, McGinn*, Mane

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like 4

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      On a free hit I'd say 4.

      But I really like 1 also.

      1. Vazza
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I like 1 also but there might be too much Chelsea who may struggle in their first game

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      4

  13. JfA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Daft question probably, only my second season, is squad value based on what a player is worth to buy or what it is for you to sell, I got shot of (Jiminez foolishly) Vardy and Lundstram, I'm sure I was £105M at one stage.

    1. chelseabrad
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Your "team value" is based on your players' current value, but bare in mind that their selling value is different to their current value

    2. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Squad value = buying value

      Selling value = selling value

      1. JfA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, but if you're squad is worth £105M and you sold everyone, you wouldn't have £105M to spend, is what I was getting at, so your real value is what its selling value is.

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Incorrect

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Transfer page - list view and youll see purchase price, current price and sell price. Team value is based on current price.

      1. Vazza
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Far better explanation than mine, I got to say 🙂

  14. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bayern the only Bundesliga team to register a home win this weekend.

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      5 away wins. 1 draw. 1 home.

    2. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not good news for the toon that, we've got five home fixtures coming up.

  15. Henning
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is someone using ultimare transfer and dont have wc left.
    If so how many dgw players are you going for?

    1. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That's going to be the hardest strategy of all to fathom, how to get a balanced DGW and going forward team.

      1. Henning
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Could use free hit, but not shure IF My original team is Good enough

    2. polis
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      4 or 5

  16. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve cracked it!

    Decided Auba is the only Arsenal player I want and that is purely out of necessity of “covering” myself. Nketiah will probably outscore him.

    Also feel of the city players I just need to splurge on the best 3 out of fear so Aguero, Kdb and Sterling it is.

    FH DGW

    Henderson
    Alonso, Baldock, Lundstram
    Sterling, Kdb, Pulisic, Grealish
    Aguero, Aubameyang, Abraham

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like it but triple Chelsea is very risky!

      I'd swap 1 for another SGW player. Maybe Doherty instead of Alonso. Pulisic extremely punty which I kind of love.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes thank you very much. I was going to post that Doherty v Alonso is tough also. That’s a toss up.

    2. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I've used FH and have only gone one Arsenal, tried to shoehorn different players for the sake of it then thought what's the point.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I went from BB 12x dgw players to FH... it is probably going to be really frustrating as all the obvious sgw players with good fixtures haul while the unexpected dgw players haul too.

  17. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Evening all, can I get some feedback on this BB team? Going to play WC for 31. GTG or changes needed?. Thanks in advance!

    Leno
    TAA* Egan Stevens
    KDB Mahrez Grealish Saka
    Aguero Aubameyang Abraham*

    Subs; Henderson Engels Sarr* Doherty*

    4 SGWers and 11DGWers

    £0.0ITB

    1. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty decent. I’m not too convinced with Sarr though

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't touch villa defence if they had 3 games, rather have lascelles than engels.

      Other than that looks really good to me.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Doherty, Upgrade Saka, Sarr to McGinn?

    4. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Excellent team, what's your rank?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers for the feedback guys. Overall Current rank is at 88k

  18. WVA
    • 9 Years

    Would you change anything about this BB team?

    EDERSON LENO

    AGUERO AUBA Jimenez

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d make it quieter

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t know why I’ve found this comment so funny but teas just come out my nose

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No, it looks good.

    3. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If you like Pepe it's a great side. If you think he's not that great and there's a very short turnaround for arsenal that could limit his minutes then it's a worry.

      I commented on villa defence above, point stands I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Watch them keep 2 clean sheets and revel.

  19. Goooo Rickie
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    2 questions...

    KDB, Mahrez, Aguero
    Or
    KDB, Mahrez, Sterling

    Anyone think Robertson is assured starts once the league is won?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      So Aguero or Sterling. That’s really tough. Aguero will have higher ownership likely.

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Going without aguero this week might be the riskiest move of the season.

      I wouldn't want to double up pool defence moving forwards so robertson is not even anywhere near my thinking right now.

    3. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B, all day long, I like Mahrez because of price and what he can do but he never seems to play.

    Is anyone else getting it where you can't actually use the free hit chip when you come to make transfers....

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, are you sure you haven’t already used it or activated another chip?

      1. Openboxman
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, says its available. But when I come to make transfers its unavailable

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          No idea then. I made a transfer and when it asked to confirm transfer it also had the option to play FH

          1. Openboxman
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Just tried this on my ipad (not in the app on my phone) its allowing me to do it now.

            Possibly something wrong with the app?

            Thanks anyway guys!

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Have you used another chip this week, BB for example?

    3. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Make your transfers first and it will ask you if you want to confirm or use FH.

  22. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Barnes or Mount?

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm playing both, if you're going 1 I'd say mount has clearly the better fixture.

    2. JfA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes but Mount for GW30+

  23. JabariParkersEyelid
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    For a second villa mid on bench boost would you rather:

    A. Mcginn
    B. El ghazi
    C. None, punt on cantwell, duda, etc

    I'm currently on A. Fielding 5 SGW players as it stands.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A has been quality this season

      1. JabariParkersEyelid
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yep which is why I'm on him now, just a bit concerned about minutes given his injury.

        Can say the same for minutes worries with el ghazi though.

    2. FPL Diet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

  24. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Are price changes happening before deadline?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years

      No

    Can someone explain to me the rationale of Free Hitting instead of Bench Boost this week if you have already played your wildcard?

    Surely it is only favourable if you already have two playing Goalkeepers, if you decide to FH now then you would have to plan for a GK transfer later down the line which seems a pain

    1. JfA

      Because a lot of people won't have a lot of DGW players and this is an ideal opportunity to use that FH if you have it, as we all know there won't be another.

        Surely the same arguement can be made for Bench Boost?

          I'd you don't have a wildcard, you're stuck with those DGW players. Means you can't over-commit.

          On a FH you can.

      I know some people did a slow wildcard, which involved investing a little more than usual on their bench - in order to cover increased likelihood of benchings.

      If the team they planned looks good now (fixture list is same as before basically), and they want to return to that team - FH is ideal for the DGW.

      BB can be played in any of the remaining weeks.

        Yeah but my point isn't Bench Boost better used when you have two playing goalkeepers. Is there an assumption that people will get a second goalkeeper using normal trasnfers for when they do actually use their BB?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Well they might do, but they might not. Typically keeper transfers aren't -that -worth it.

          If you don't have a Wildcard you might not want to hold a ~5m keeper on the bench. (Some at 4.5m ish, but assume those are not the ones you want for a DGW.)

          If they wanted, you could easily get 1mil of so from 2 FT, so the option is still there.

          If you don't have a wildcard an BB instead this week, you still have to spend 1 FT shipping the GK you don't need, and likely another FT to upgrade/change another player (along with the rest of the DGW players you may not want long term).

          I completely understand why many may want to FH. DGWs can end up rubbish anyway, so no need to risk the integrity of the rest of your team.

    With Liverpool already won the league is there better options than TAA and Salah to be found?

    Without them in my team I can have a really strong 15 to cover any rotation. But my team looks wrong without them

      For this week I think you can make better use of the salah funds. But I would not be moving Trent for anything.

      1. JfA

        I'd normally think that but it's mostly tight against Everton.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      There's still probably no players that score more than them

    Under my game week history it says I used my WC in GW5 and triple captain in GW24 (on Mane obviously), do I definitely have another WC to use in GW31?

      Yes

      You get a new one in the January window.

        Why doesn't it say I have one anywhere?
