Henderson and Telles in for de Gea and Shaw as Brewster is benched again

The first set of midweek Premier League fixtures of 2020/21 comes to a close this evening at Bramall Lane.

Manchester United are the visitors as Sheffield United look to end their 12-match run without a win, with kick-off in South Yorkshire at 20:00 GMT.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has brought Dean Henderson (£5.3m) into his starting XI tonight, with David de Gea (£5.3m) only among the substitutes.

Alex Telles (£5.5m) for Luke Shaw (£4.8m) at left-back is another defensive change that the Norwegian has made, while Nemanja Matic (£4.8m) and Anthony Martial (£8.7m) are brought back into the fold at the expense of Scott McTominay (£4.9m) and Fred (£5.3m).

Chris Wilder has made three alterations to his team, who are looking to avoid a club record eighth successive league defeat.

Jack Robinson (£4.3m) ousts Phil Jagielka (£4.0m) in defence while Oliver Burke (£4.3m) and David McGoldrick (£5.2m) replace the injured Oli McBurnie (£5.6m) and veteran Billy Sharp (£5.6m) in attack.

Those FPL managers hoping for points from Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) will have a familiar sinking feeling, as the young striker is again only among the substitutes.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.0m) is the most-captained player of Gameweek 13, with 1,275,089 managers handing him the armband for this clash.


Sheffield United XI: Ramsdale, Baldock, Basham, Egan, Robinson, Stevens, Berge, Ampadu, Fleck, Burke, McGoldrick.

Man Utd XI: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, Matic, Pogba, Greenwood, Fernandes, Martial, Rashford.

    Dallas and Taylor on my bench

    RIP

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Coufal on my bench.

      I would rather have fodder than looking at those points on my bench.

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It’s weird how it works isn’t it

        Squad depth is desirable, yet the benched points hurt the most

  3. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Charlie Taylor is my Salah cover

  4. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    As a Bruno owner but not captainer I’m guessing I still want him to score?

    1. the_duke
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Obviously. Points are points (non owner)

    2. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If you're going for first place, not a million points, though. Then captainers will be ahead by a million.

    3. Chrisitis

      40% in top 10k sitting behind their couches next two hours

  5. the_duke
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Jackie g unlucky to not return there. Poor finishing from villa.

  6. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    60 points and no players left.

    Coufal first on bench and KDB (C) hurt but I guess it could be worse.

    Now I need a big sofa with no Bruno in my team.

    1. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You know 60 is a green arrow.

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Great score

    3. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Still a great score and should be a green arrow

    Hi all. Particularly with the news that City and Villa may have a Double in 19 I’ve pretty much already got a full 11 for DGW 19, can even afford to make a few nice to have transfers and still field 11.

    McCarthy (Forster)
    Chilwell James Cancelo Lamptey (Targett)
    Grealish Salah KDB Fernandes (Bissouma)
    Vardy Bamford (Brewster)
    2FT available. 0ITB

    Already used wildcard. Plan is to FH in 18 and play 11 top players in 19. Save bench boost for another time. Does the above make sense, brain hurts! Thanks!!

    1. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Transfer plan this week is Coufal in for Cancelo and Kane in for Vardy.

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kane does not have DGW. Vardy does. Does that affect your decision

        1. Voodoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          No cos I can always transfer Vardy back in if I need to.

  8. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER

  11. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years

  14. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Feel for Donny. Such a good player who shouldn't be sitting on the bench.

    Will be regretting not moving to Real Madrid.

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      And to think of it, how can Pogba start ahead of him, like wtf

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He'll play when Pogbas gone.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    Martinez
    Robbo*, Chillwell*, Lamptey (Coufal*, Mitchell)
    KDB, Bruno*, Grealish, Salah* (Bissouma)
    Watkins, DCL, Bamford*

    *= DGW players

    Any suggestions? 2 FT’s 0.4ITB

    Lamptey >>> Dallas?

        scandal

    4. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      As a Watkins owner feeling quite unlucky, grealish was always looking for el ghazi and he ruined the chances, Watkins was in good positions but not received any..and that yellow out f nowhere...

      1. Lukakuna
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah that was harsh, but so is most weeks with Watkins 😉 Looking to ship him now?

      2. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Brought him in for Villa's run after Arsenal match and since then 2, 0, 2, 1.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why even mention Brewster? He is nothing

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        highly owned, plus Mark has him I think

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Pope moves up to be the highest scoring GK in the game despite missing GW1

    7. emyoueffsee
      • 8 Years

      What's bruno's EO?

    8. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      you know you are an fpl addict when you count last minute BP lost: Martinez, Dallas, Bamford, Salah, Son. 5BP lost in the last minute of the games. that's too much of a rollercoaster

    9. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      How is Henderson allowed to play against parent club?

      1. FPL Daniel

      4. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago
