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.

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

      For sure. A point and a fiver for the flag, so what? I prefer the drama!

    Nowhere to hide for casual Vardy non-owners, right Nightcrawler? 😉

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

      Lol

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn’t celebrate over a lucky goal like that

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

        Lucky? Lmao!

    3. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Casuals are Vardy owners. Like youself I presume

  8. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What % captained vardy?

  9. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Need Kane, Son & Salah to deliver big time tonight after that goal. Ffs

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Just Kane, thank you

  10. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Absolutely pathetic defending. Take him down and get the red you idiots.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      This. So much this.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I agree with this. Don't see this enough, IMO. Just hack them down if they are on the counter. And I say that as a Vardy owner.

    3. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I hate that, but I’d also 100% do it in that situation. Virtually guaranteed a point

    4. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think so too

  11. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Dear NightCrawler,
    having a wonderful party. Wish you were here!
    Love Old Man. x

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Lol.

      “NOWHERE TO HIDE!”

  12. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Leicester aren’t that good really are they

  13. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    That last pass from Vardy might just be enough!

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Need my Son Podence Robbo points even more after these showings from Zaha and Vardy...

  15. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    How can this awful team be in the top 3?

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Let's hope that Vardy keeps his baps

  17. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    YEEEEES JAMMERS SCENES

    SMASHES THE CORNER FLAG TOO, SURELY BPS FOR THAT CORNER FLAG KICK?

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

      Yes, because he could have put someone's eye out. Hahahaha!

  18. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Wilder first to get sacked?

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

      Mate they'd still be down two leagues or so without Wilder.

      The problem is they've invested in rubbish players.

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

      That would be harsh considering he was not exactly given a load of cash to invest in the team and keep them competitive in the PL.

  19. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    yes Vardy party 😉
    but not captain

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

    Hopefully that YC doesn't cause a loss of 4 points... worst part is they take hours to determine final BPS. See Fernandes and Mahrez.

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

      If anything, Vardy should get winning goal bonus right?

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

        Already factored in.

  21. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    62 pts with Robbo/Jota/Neto to go.

    Living the dream guys 🙂

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

      58 with same but Ryan not Neto

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        And I have no keeper (Martinez)

    2. CheesyZoot
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      67 with McCarthy left here, GL to you

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Tram linked says different?

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Team

    4. FPL Alaska
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nice. 56 with Son/Robbo/Lamptey (Martinez keeper)

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

    I hate owning vardy - it’s 90ish minutes of grumpiness with a sigh of relief at the end.

  23. Parsnips
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Knew Vardy would do that. Well played to Vardy captainers

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

    This is why you don't look at stats with Vardy!
    All he needs is 1 chance 😀

  25. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Vardyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  26. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Fyi 1 goal is not a party

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Vardyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 4 months ago

        It's a small gathering

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

        During lockdown, 1 party is all I need.

      • BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Hootenanny!

    3. b91jh
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy is such an unexciting pick until he gets a one on one.

    4. Joey Tribbiani
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      make or break my gw this game, and Vardy has broken it last min

    5. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why bring a player on for 50 seconds

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Gone on for years, you know that.
        Time wasting and distrupting the flow.

        30 seconds added on so in theory could kill 20 seconds if they milk it.

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

      Vardy with a successful pass and dribble, get that BPS!
