FPL midfielder Oliver Burke (£4.5m) earns a second consecutive out-of-position start for Sheffield United in Sunday afternoon’s Yorkshire derby.

The Blades’ new signing keeps £5.9m men Billy Sharp and Oli McBurnie on Chris Wilder’s bench.

John Fleck (£5.9m) – who has a slight knock – and Oliver Norwood (£4.9m) are also among the substitutes, while Jack O’Connell (£5.0m) is a notable absentee from the matchday squad.

On O’Connell’s injury, Wilder told BT Sport:

Really bad news from our point of view. Jack’s possibly going to be out for the season.

He needs an operation on a knee that he injured last year.

With O’Connell sidelined, Jack Robinson (£4.4m) lines up alongside loanee Ethan Ampadu (£4.5m), who is deputising in the heart of the Blades’ defence for the suspended John Egan (£4.9m). Robinson could now be set for an extended run of games in Wilder’s back-three system.

The visitors make one enforced change from their 4-3 win against Fulham in Gameweek 2.

Tyler Roberts (£5.0m) replaces the injured Pablo Hernandez (£5.9m) in midfield.

Forward Rodrigo (£5.9m) did come into the Leeds XI in GW2 after Hernandez pulled up in the pre-match warm-up, though Marcelo Bielsa signalled that Roberts could be favoured in his press conference ahead of Gameweek 3.

The Leeds United boss also put a two-week timescale on Hernandez’ return.

FPL bosses who have invested in players such as Patrick Bamford (£5.7m), Mateusz Klich (£5.6m) and Helder Costa (£5.6m) will be hoping Leeds’ goalscoring exploits can continue against a makeshift Blades defence.

New defensive signing Diego Llorente (£4.5m) is not part of the Leeds squad after joining on Thursday.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; Robinson, Ampadu, Basham; Stevens, Osborn, Berge, Lundstram, Baldock; McGoldrick, Burke.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; Phillips; Harrison, Roberts, Klich, Costa; Bamford.

      Would be harsh if he was sent off.

      He was going for the ball and had every right to try

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        With studs showing?

      2. Party time

        Baldock owner spotted!

      3. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Not a Baldock owner at all.

        No horses in this race!

  2. UshFPL

    Could have been a second yellow for Baldock there?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      50/50 that

    2. Sun Jihai

      1. UshFPL
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        He could have chosen not to slide in for a ball he was never gonna get

    3. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Doubt he'll get another one today though.

      I actually fancy an Everton penalty. So, probably a Hames goal incoming soon 😉

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Werner(c)'ers unite!

      2. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

      3. Seanigula
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Hames doesn’t take penalties, time to sell him

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

        1. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Even Microsoft doesn't use it

        2. Seanigula
          • 17 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          My Commodore 64 doesn’t even have a browser

        3. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

    5. SomewhatPleasing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Utd likely to get a 4th sometime this afternoon.

    6. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

  4. Ser Davos
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Burke could be a one pointer trap

    1. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      for 4.5 benchfolder who is he trapping?

      1. Ser Davos
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        a 2-3 pointer

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          True that

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Bissouma also looks lively for 4.5

  5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

  7. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    This will end 0-0

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Timing

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

    Last 3 at Spurs

    Tot 0 - 1 New
    Tot 1 - 0 New

    Predictions today?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      3-2 to spurs

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Sounds promising as a Kane, Son and Wilson owner

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      4-0

    3. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      0-1 for symmetry

    4. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      its 2020, so 14-8 with 9 people sent off.

    5. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      yes low scoring, maybe 2-0

    6. Das Boot
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      4-1 Spurs. History has no bearing at all on todays game, absolutely none.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        nah history does normally indicate a recurring trend

    7. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Tot 5 - 3 New ?

      Yeah, just kidding. 1-0 is the most likely score

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        5.5 striker not too expensive 🙂

  21. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Literally anyone other than Werner could’ve worked on Wc

  22. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Brilliant cross from Harrison

    1. Tea for the Tielemans
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      with his man bun, I wonder whether he was crossing the ball ironically.

  23. rambo.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Bamford yessssss

  24. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

  25. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Bamfordinho

  26. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thats my boy

  27. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Useless Sheff!

  28. Gabbiadini
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    The player I took out of my WC and didn't want to score was Bamford... :/

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      he'll be rising in price again...

      1. Tea for the Tielemans
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        yet he will still be the same Patrick Bamford that he's always been.

  29. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I used to like Bamford then he struggled at various clubs.

    Is he worth it now?

    1. Tea for the Tielemans
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Oh definitely. Take as many hits as you have to take to get him in!

  30. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Make it 1-1 now for the non-owners.
