Winless Sheffield United face Leicester City in the second of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday.

Kick-off at Bramall Lane is at 14:15 GMT.

With the Friday night game between Aston Villa v Newcastle United postponed, many of us would have been relying on contributions from our bench fodder options to cover for the likes of Jack Grealish (£7.7m) and Callum Wilson (£6.5m).

Rhian Brewster (£4.5m), owned by almost half a million Fantasy Premier League managers, is one of the more popular players who is primed for auto-sub duty but he’ll have to make do with a substitute’s appearance at best this afternoon.

The budget forward is named on the bench for the third match in a row, with Oliver McBurnie (£5.6m) and the ‘out of position’ Oliver Burke (£4.3m) again deployed in attack.

The only change that Chris Wilder has made from the Gameweek 10 defeat at West Bromwich Albion sees John Lundstram (£5.0m) replace Oliver Norwood (£4.7m) in central midfield.

Enda Stevens (£5.2m) and Ethan Ampadu (£4.4m) are still absent, so Kean Bryan (£4.0m) starts again at centre-half.

As for Leicester, Brendan Rodgers has made two alterations from the side that surprisingly lost against Fulham.

Marc Albrighton (£5.3m) and Ayoze Perez (£6.0m) are in for Luke Thomas (£4.3m) and Dennis Praet (£5.5m).

There is again no place in the starting XI for Harvey Barnes (£6.9m), despite his goalscoring contribution as a substitute last Monday.

Having got just under an hour of game-time under his belt against Zorya on Thursday, Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) is also among the replacements in the visitors’ dugout.

James Justin (£4.9m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) are by some distance the most-owned players involved in this fixture, sitting in 23.8% and 30.2% of FPL squads respectively.

Vardy’s away form has been scintillating in 2020/21, with nine of his 11 attacking returns and over 80% of his FPL points coming on the road.


Sheffield United XI: Ramsdale, Basham, Egan, Bryan, Baldock, Lundstram, Berge, Fleck, Lowe, Burke, McBurnie.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Justin, Evans, Fofana, Fuchs, Mendy, Tielemans, Albrighton, Maddison, Perez, Vardy.

  3. Flair
    • 5 Years

      Remark?

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think this is what you are looking for.

      It's not 100% accurate but it's the best we got.

        Can I get some notif for player who I mark if I use this website?

        1. fusen
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          No, people basically just check it every day. Check it in the evenings for what is likely to happen

        2. Blzbobuk
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Fantasy football fix but it may need premium to get the aLerts

  10. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years

      • camarozz
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Surely should have kept for West Brom but if u couldn't afford Kdb I understand the reason for it

    4. Party time
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Alright Vardy. Let’s feast!

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Feast on the corpse of the sinking ship that is SHU

          1. Party time

              Oh yes!

        2. Silecro
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          PVA going out, any advice on who should I bring in up to 5.4? Rest of my defence: Chilwell, Lamptey, Coufal, Dallas.

          Cheers!

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            James

            1. Silecro
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Hm, maybe a Che DEF double up is a bit risky but ok

              1. Zimo
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Naa they have the best defence in the league right now not just in clean sheets but in underlying stats too

                1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  This and Chilwell,James have crazy attacking threat

                2. Silecro
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  So basically Chilwell and James are set& forget, and Coufal/Dallas/Lamptey rotational pieces according to best fixtures. Yeah, i can live with that.

                  1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                    • 9 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    Yeah pretty much

          2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            James

          3. Salan
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Get a 4.5 def and upgrade mid/fwd or bank for reserve

            You may have "who to bench" problem.

        3. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Can't decide who I want to get pasted most. SHU for benching my third on the bench player, again, or Leicester for sending that team out against SHU.

        4. Kryptonite666
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Is DCL + Ziyech to Jota + Salah for a -8 worth it ?

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Well Ziyech ain't getting any points next GW

            Guess I have to ask why if they're so worth it, why you didn't use at least 1 FTsfor a move like this.

            1. Kryptonite666
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              I’ll be using 1 FT.

              The move is DCL + Ziyech + Stephens to Brewster + Salah + Jota

          2. Gudjohnsen
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Worth it for Salah (C)

          Wow. West Brom that bad?

          Callum Wilson looks a must if next week’s game is on.

          1. Traction Engine Foot
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            They weren't too bad until the red card.

              true... don’t want to invest but can they mess up their next 3 fixtures?

          5. @persecuted_by_mods
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Weren't too bad until the red, was just an unlucky og up to that point

              • 16 Years

              Alright cheers. Did the goals come after the red?

            • WVA
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              I won't play their keeper next week so they'll keep a clean sheet

          6. dogtanion
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Leicester are awful..

            1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
              • 15 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              it's like 5 mins

              1. dogtanion
                • 16 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                I'm including the performance v Fulham in that too!

          7. F_Ivanovic
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            very nearly did Stephens to Burke this week but in the end opted with removing Wilson for Bamford (which has obviously worked out well) in order to field 11. Might be a move I want to make anyway just so that I have at least some bench going forward

          8. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Another Vardy blank and he's out.

            1. Flair
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              So, he's out.

              1. DA Minnion (Former great)
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Very likely.

            2. DAZZ
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Vardy goes for me anyway. He funds Mo Salah.

              Same..no confidence of a Leicester goal looking at this.. 0-0 written all over it

              1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
                • 15 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Can’t see him scoring from normal play. He’s usually terrible at getting chances

                Only hope is a lucky pen

            Just seen the Palace result. Zaha making ultimate troll status. Had Zaha prior seasons and did nothing for me. WC him in 3 weeks ago with Milo out then it turned out he had CV19, held on to him till this GW. Any other trolls this season confirmed? Apart from Pep

          16. @persecuted_by_mods
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Sheffield committing men forward and leaving gaps for Vardy too, hopefully they don't nick the first goal and should be decent score for Vardy
