There are two Premier League matches kicking off at 18:00 BST this evening, with interest from a Fantasy perspective mostly focused on the game at Bramall Lane.

Everton make the trip to South Yorkshire to take on Sheffield United, while on the south coast, Brighton and Hove Albion face Newcastle United.

The Blades are unchanged despite falling to a 2-0 defeat to Leicester City last week, which means another benching for John Lundstram (£4.6m) and John Fleck (£4.7m).

The team news is not quite as straightforward for the Toffees, however.

Carlo Ancelotti will be without Yerry Mina (£5.3m) and Mason Holgate (£4.3m) for the rest of the campaign, so budget Fantasy Premier League defender Jarrad Branthwaite (£4.0m) makes his first Premier League start at centre-half.

Branthwaite for Holgate is one of four changes that the Everton boss has made.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m), Djibril Sidibe (£5.0m) and Theo Walcott (£6.2m) are recalled, with Alex Iwobi (£5.6m), Seamus Coleman (£5.3m) and Bernard (£6.4m) dropping to the bench.

At the Amex Stadium, Graham Potter has made his now-customary handful of changes for the visit of Newcastle.

Yves Bissouma (£5.0m), Pascal Gross (£6.2m) and Aaron Mooy (£4.7m) are all brought back into the starting XI, with Davy Propper (£4.8m), Solly March (£4.6m) and Glenn Murray (£5.4m) making way.

For all of the Magpies’ injury woes, Steve Bruce has changed just two of his side from the defeat to Tottenham Hotspur – and only one of those alterations is enforced.

Javier Manquillo (£4.3m) and Danny Rose (£5.3m) replace DeAndre Yedlin (£4.4m) and the injured Fabian Schar (£5.0m) in defence, which will presumably see Emil Krafth (£4.3m) move over to centre-half.

Despite being classed as a ‘big doubt’ with a calf problem, Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.3m) is passed fit to start.

Mathew Ryan (£4.7m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) are the only two players in the starting XIs in Sussex who have a double-digit FPL ownership, although there is only modest interest within the top 10k.

John Egan (£4.7m) is the most popular pick from the top 10,000 on show at Bramall Lane, meanwhile, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin‘s (£6.1m) fall from grace continuing: his ‘effective ownership’ in the top 10k is just 1.71% for tonight’s game.


Sheffield United XI: Henderson, Basham, Egan, O’Connell, Baldock, Berge, Norwood, Osborn, Stevens, McBurnie, McGoldrick.

Everton XI: Pickford, Sidibe, Branthwaite, Keane, Digne, Walcott, Gomes, Davies, Sigurdsson, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Lamptey, Webster, Dunk, Burn, Bissouma, Stephens, Groß, Trossard, Mooy, Maupay.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Manquillo, Krafth, Fernandez, Rose, Shelvey, Bentaleb, Ritchie, Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Gayle.

    Saiss benching is a real bummer when my ML rival hasn’t changed his team in 5 weeks, all of a sudden has Boly plus BB hauling 19 points for him...

      Proper annoying mate second in my mini league has Patrício and Doherty and I have Doherty and Saiss, hopefully Saiss doesn’t come on tho, Fernandez clean sheet to come in!!

        Yeah I’ve got Patricio but Greenwood ahead of Azpi on the bench so a 1 pointer from Saiss is the best I can ask for lol. Good luck!

    Not so humble brag, but my FH team have 37 points already, from 5 players. I get very depressed looking at the shambles it goes back to next week.

    Doherty goal will do very nicely

  7. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Doherty RC would be a decent rank rise...

  8. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

  9. Botman and Robben

    Jimi brace.

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

  10. Will J 256
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Would you have Aurier or tierney on your free hit?

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Aurier. Watford may still have something to play for

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Aurier

  11. gers23
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Could Auba be benched tomorrow. Would tip off a horrible end to season

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Doubt it tbh.

  12. Jealous Viper
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    I find myself day dreaming about having Messi in FPL. What a joy that would be. Priced at 15m maybe?

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Would ruin this game

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        But would be great for us that cant choose right captain

        1. Jealous Viper
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Perma cap definitely

    2. 272MK
      • 12 Years

  13. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Prediction: Wolves to win 1-0. Jiminez goal. Saiss subbed on for Jiminez somewhere between 78th and 84th minute.

  14. abaalan
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Tyrick Mitchell being thrown in I see, didn't do AWB too bad. Good luck to the youngster.

  16. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Traore about to eat Mitchell

  17. Bruno Commando
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Quite fixed on 8 players for my FH 38. Which of these 3 will you pick?

    1) Gomez, Mahrez, Auba
    2) TAA, KDB, Antonio

    Martinez
    Pieters // Bardsley
    Martial // Dilva // Salah
    Kane // Jesus

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Aurier and Sterling?

    2. 272MK
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      2

  18. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Doherty brace and Saiss to stay on the bench(Fernandez clean sheet to come in) please!!

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Time for a Boly header goal?

  20. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    A) Foden to Antonio (352)

    Salah(c) Sterling Dilva Bruno Antonio
    Jimenez Ings

    B) Sterling to Mané (343)

    Salah(c) Mané Dilva Bruno
    Jimenez Ings Wood

    Plan B is the fear of Sterling getting benched. And will \allow me to play Wood, who is giving me a benching headache against Jimi atm.

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      A

  21. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    8 points from my punt Dunk. Now for him to score GW38!

    Come on Pat and Doc, do your thing bro's!!!

  22. Says
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Richarleson scored the only goal in the game, but isn't even in the top 5 Everton players for bonus. How bad was he??
