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.

    Fantasy football is rigged

    Time to bring Connolly on for some gametime before his start next week please

  3. Ady87

    Subs : Pulisic Digne Aurier

    Started Saiss. We know how this goes.

    Amazingly, I’ve owned Digne about 4 times and never had a CS out of him, or attacking returns. Has a red card though and now benched a potential cleanie! BB next week when you know him and Aurier concede!

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d always start your latter 2 because of attacking potential

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I would have if I didn’t have 3 defenders with plum fixtures, on paper. Ah well! I usually don’t have a playing bench so this is new haha

  4. FPL Pillars
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Damn it Saiss, I had faith, kept you instead of transferring in Burnley def and this is how you repay me. With Dendonkey benched last game should have seen this possibility coming. Still didn’t expect Yikes. With Kiko only other defender to come on a sub appearance would be welcome even 😆

  5. Monkey Hanger
    • 13 Years

    Dumb and dumber on for the Toon.

  6. Debauchy

    Murray and Andy Carrol on fasten seatbelts

    Coady and Boly have never been subbed off by Nuno
    Dendoncker has been subbed off in 5 of the 30 games he has started

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Moutinho? With Dendoncker moved to midfield.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Could happen
        He's been subbed off 4 times in 33 starts this season (such as machine aged 33)

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Though post restart:
      Dendo subbed off 2 times in 4 starts
      Moutinho subbed off 2 times in 6 starts

    ASM really needs a move to a bigger club.

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

      Club he's at is about to be filled with Oil Money 😀
      Not sure he needs to go anywhere

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

        Drowned.

        10k fine and they can break all the ffp rules they like

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

          😀

      3. Lucy2019
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ah yes, ASM really needs to stay where he is.

  9. Amey

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Not going to fake. But hopefully saiss comes on For a cameo. Need to gain ground in ML.
    Blew away 50 points lead so everything count now 😀

  10. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Any defenders worth a hit for either Justin or Kiko?
    Expecting max 1 point from either

  11. 1zverGGadeM
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Dont worry guys, Crystal Palace will score tonight

    1. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wilf hat trick. Saiss no show.

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

        What a way to be transferred out to big club for a big fee this would be!

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't think so. Half of them will come on in their speedos and snorkels

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

        This is the case with most of the mid-table clubs, yeah... Very likely, but I cant watch this borefest anymore today, and 3-1 Wolves is my prediction... At least Im gonna play it over 2.5 forsure

    3. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      True

  12. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Last time Carroll scored in the PL was in May 2018...

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    DCL YC

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Owner(s) in tears

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        But sellers in rapture. The crumbs of comfort.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salt. Wounds. Any of the ghost teams out there...

    3. Dacra
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He will score.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It burns!

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

    I benched Garcia as 2nd sub. Played Saiss and have Fleck 1st sub.

  15. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    DCL doing what he does best!

  16. Dacra
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wolves to concede 2, then Saiss to come on at 29?

    Please.

    1. Calderano FC
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      How old is he now?

    2. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not likely to bring on a CB 2-0 down... (Jota). But I’d take that if they then hold a CS.

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Egan baby boy, a goal is needed!!!

    Saïss owners: If you shop at Lidl, sometimes you’re going to watch Doherty owners enjoy a Waitrose Sicilian Lemon Tart.

      You get a better class of comment from TS

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years

      I shop at both but I would like to return my Lidl purchase, for a burnley swap. #12 points down the drain

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I think the expiry date on my Tesco’s Henderson and Stevens has passed 🙁

        1. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Best before March 2020

        2. FPL Pillars
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah best put in the bin :/

          Saiss went straight after his price rise... small win

          Lol

    4. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yum yum

  19. FPL Daniel

    Walcott looking interested for the game after yeats

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      *years

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott could be a big differential in GW38 😉

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        he's not very tall but he'd certainly be a differential.

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dribble dribble beat man, dribble, turn, smack pass into defender. Repeat. For, 15, years.

  20. Mighty Banana
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Anyone know when the 20/21 season starts?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      4am.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Early September as I know

    3. CaptMidnight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Probably around middle of September and suggestion is the teams still in Europe could start later.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years

        How would that work with fpl??

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 15 Years

        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        In winter.

        In January Qatar 2022

    6. Amey

      12 September

  21. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    When I put FH team together on Saturday and went really cheap in defence, I didn't expect to get a benching headache with Burnley double, Braithwaite, Basham & Williams

  22. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I dont get it why Ancelotti plays DCL for 90 minutes or so

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Reckon DCL got dirt on him

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Cause thats how long matches last

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        incredible

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

      Three Everton managers haven't played Kean this season. Surely a reason for that.

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He’s a donkey

    4. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Favour for a favour

  23. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    DCL is the absolute biggest waste of space going

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He's not that good actually Bubz

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Flattered big time earlier in the season , faded badly , waste

  24. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How’s Sidibe looked anyone?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth the risk with Coleman about.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Perhaps if we get early team news which I’m sure we will

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t judge him on looks alone.

  25. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Walcott rested for GW38.

  26. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton used 4 subs and no Connolly, what the hell

  27. Iggypop
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ah saiss! Everyone else on my bench is injured!

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

      Better than Justin (-1)

  28. 1zverGGadeM
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Webster is a tough guy

  29. Monkey Hanger
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Carroll late, and leading with his elbow.

  30. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Obviously benched Dubravka. Idiotic me got him instead of Pope. Blanked multiple times then this.
