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. Bushwhacker

      Dodgy penalty for sure

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

        Leicester don’t do pens anymore

    C'mon Brewster lad - improve on that 1.3ppg! (Although relieved to get a point this gw).

  3. ☈☾

    Second Vardy party cancelled. Wooohooo!

    Very odd people blaming Vardy when surely everyone knows the sorts of goals he scores. He isn't going to win in from the half way line and dribble with it.

    If he doesn't get through balls or crosses in then he has nothing to score from.

    He's had more involvement with the ball since Perez has gone off as people are finally trying to feed him

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

      Yeah his teammates have been awful in creating anything for him. Awful, awful tactic and formation as well from Rodgers. Isn't really dedicated to attack fluently.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      It’s just poor management by Rodgers.

      Vardy needs players like Under playing.

  5. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Brewster game winner would be amazing

  6. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Farnell FTW!

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nooo....

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years

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

    Very pleased with a Burke 2 pointer today but my god is he bad...

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

    Wilder has to go. This is an abject team, all the talent on the bench.

  10. MagicMessi
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Burke out. Brewster IN

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

    Vardy goal is massive here pleaaaseee

  12. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    YES Brewster 1 pointer!!

  13. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Wahey! An additional point from Brewster if Jota doesn't play.

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

      Riches we can only dream of!

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

    Maddison is the problem

  15. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    get out of my team vardy

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

    Very disappointing frm Vardy
    If only I knew to sell him for.
    Have Bam/dcl

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

      Same, if they play then Wilson

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

      Ksne

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

        Kane

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

          Kanes fixtures don't appeal to me tbh.

  17. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    How can you keep allowing Maddison over a dead ball? Vardy needs to intervene

  18. MagicMessi
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Brewster close volley

    1. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not so close but nice attempt

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

    Damn, that was annoying from Zaha.

    Cmon now Son. Finish those gunners

  20. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy is my captain this week I have already transfer him out for Bamford let's get ready for next week

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why did you transfer so soon?

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

        To get KDB too

  21. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Hopefully the people who do BAPs saw that Vardy dribble into the heart of the Sheffield Utd box.

  22. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech -> Jota for free after games tonight?

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

      I'd wait for European games unless it prices you out of other moves

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

      Don't like any early transfers this season with all the Covid worries

    3. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks. Money no issue so can wait

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

    Not even going to try and spell his name but he’s completely useless

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

      Vardy? Maddison? Fuchs? Ihenacho? Take your pick.

  24. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ihenacho has bottled every touch hes had.

  25. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Iheanacho is useless. Loses the ball whenever he gets it

  26. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Afternoon folks.

    Got exact cash for vardy and ziyech to Salah and Bamford - 4

    Would you do it tonight ahead of price rise? Gives me bench headache for next few weeks

    Alternative is to wait to end of week and get brewster instead of bamford

    Thanks

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      The moves are good. My only concern would be the mid-week games and possible injuries/Covids.

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

        Precisely. Thing is that Bamford is such a hugely better option than brewster....

        I'm ranked 2.5m so not too much to lose...

  27. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    This Brewster lad's look very young has he taken his GCSEs???

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

      He lost his confidence when he missed that pen for Pool.

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

    Play one out of:

    A. Targett (wol)
    B. Soucek (lee)
    C. Coufal (lee)

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

      B

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Easy B

  29. Underdogs11
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    This is shaping up to be one of the worst gameweeks ever. 20 points with Son, Kane and possibly Robbie left.

    1. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I managed a 16 pointer last season

      1. Underdogs11
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Everyone else has a lots of points.... That's what makes it even worse.

        Oups Vardy! Thx!

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

    Watching Leicester attempt to play football is painful

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

      I know... Watched them against Fulham as well, just because of Vardy. Such a poor team.

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      This

    3. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Pereira and Castange would help alot.
