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.

        5 years, 4 months ago

        Worth a try

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

          Was way off

    2. C'mon the Fylde
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha has made my decision very difficult, now.
      My plan was to ship him, to make way for Salah.

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

        Get rid. Won't do that again for 3 months

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Salh or Zaha, hmmmmmmmm

        Really?

        1. C'mon the Fylde
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I'll be fitting in Salah, somewhere.
          The decision is to bring him in for who, out of a midfield of KDB,Son,Bruno,Jota,Zaha

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            I'd lose Jota personally

      3. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Just ship him. The fixtures turn. Won't be playing West Brom every game.

        1. C'mon the Fylde
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers. Decision made, then 🙂

      Can't believe people compared Maddison to Grealish

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

        That was Leicester fans

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

      What has happened to Maddison?

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

        Found his level

    5. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Which option is better? 1FT & 1.8itb

      A) Vardy - Bissuma —> Salah - Davis

      B) Son - DCL —> Salah - Bamford

      C) Son - Vardy —> Salah - Bamford...enough to do (Podence -> Ziyech/Mahrez) later

      Team:
      McCarthy
      Justin-Targett-Chilwell-Dias-Douglas
      Son-Kdb-Bruno-Podence-Bissuma
      DCL-Vardy-Adams

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        A

    6. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Does a shot against the post which goes in count as a shot off target?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        No.

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        You would think not, but philosophically speaking...

    7. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Sheffield United are so bad. Can't string 3 passes together.

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

        1 point in last 13 games in PL for them.

      2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Complete enigma. We’re flying so high last season with same players and manager.

    8. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy looking dangerous and blanking

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

        So frustrating

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

        Every Sheffield United game ever

          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          well this season atleast

    10. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Just noticed that there is a "Report Offensive Name" option below other team names ... Everyone can be a snitch nowadays 🙁

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Sad, but more sad that people can't be trusted to play nicely.

      2. AllessandroSwissToni
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        My Team Name for seasons was AK Rapier Pfisting - got banned so played a whole season as No Name by way of a petty protest.

        This year - Kaiser Queefs

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

        The west has turned into East Germany over this last year or so.

      4. Andy'81
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        The list of words that people pretend to be offended by seems to be growing at an alarming rate

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

          Meaning of words are being changed by the mob too and it's really hard to keep up with.

          Jordan Peterson made some great points about the dangerous of having our words and their meanings being messed with.

          1. Andy'81
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            A digital age hasn't helped with this either as it's too hard to relay context into the 10 or so words that people have substituted for paragraph's these days, Twitter/facebook et al have all seemed to be a stain and I don't see that new one Parler being a long term alternative, I still need to get round to reading Peterson's work but I've been struggling to find the patience to read lately.

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

              This is it.

              I don't use Twitter or Facebook myself but I've seen some good friends that are immersed in those worlds change and some have become very polarized.Just big echo chambers really and the censorship of alternative ideas scares me a lot.

              It's a very inhuman thing to try and squeeze your thoughts into a paragraph or so and let it be open to be totally taken out of context.I think humanity has taken a step back in this digital age we live in.All this is bad for human discourse and it's certainly no substitute for old school long fireside chats where ideas are better exchanged and hammered out.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Personally have no issue with "rude" names like Allesandro's above, but a lot of people really should know better.

    11. Werner Bremen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Werner to Wilson for a hit?

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Did you see the game yesterday? He should have had 20 point haul.

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Pretty good imo. Although not sure on Wilson.

      2. BeWater
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Very decent.

      3. Werner Bremen
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Wouldn't let go of DCL for a hit
