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.

    GW15 looks like a good week to sell Bruno

        Here here, but let’s not get complacent now

      Wthe 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 for any advice.

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        They wont have a DGW in 19

        Personally i am working towards getting 10 players for GW18 then FH in GW19

    3. KGFC

      Any update on Konsa's illness? Is he expected to be fit for this weekend?

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Martial vs Leeds, anyone?

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Rashford is tempting tbh, Salah or KDB could make way for 1 week

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I should swap Ferran Torres straight out for Rashford, but he's actually improved as a player by not playing vs West Brom. So I'll probably give him another game.

          Do like the Rashford pick though.

    5. Mile Plankton
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't have a captain fail since Mane in GW1.

      I guess it was due.

      1. KGFC
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Sadly, all good things must come to an end 🙁

      2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        45 to go yet

        1. Mile Plankton
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I don't think it'll be 45

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Picking a captain is so easy, even plankton can do it.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          underrated comment

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

        That first one is a humongous fail considering a lot capped Salah for 40.

      5. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Who you captaining next week?

    6. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      What’s better at saving shots in the Premier League?

      A) Floating Crisp Packet
      B) Aaron Ramsdale

    7. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      In your opinion, did KDB blank or not?

      1. Mile Plankton
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yup.
        Under 5 is a blank imo.

        1. fr3d
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Assist and a yellow card is blank?

          1. Mile Plankton
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Ramsdale should be taken to jail after the game.

      2. Il Capitano
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yes

      3. dogtanion
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        In my opinion Watkins got a brace and no yellow card

      4. Voodoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        A blank with jammy bonus.

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

        Under 5 is a blank. 5-9 is an average return. 10+ is a haul. 15+ a mega haul.

      6. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Somewhere in between a blank and a return

      7. Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        No - In my world he played and got an assist but then picked up a yellow card for joining in the goal celebration. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

    8. Canarinha
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lamptey for
      a) Coufal
      b) Justin
      c) Dier
      d) Alioski (have Dallas already)
      e) Kwp (have Vestergaard)
      f) keep Lamps?

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        A if 2ft, save if 1

      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Save FT right?

      Martinez
      Dias - Lamptey - Taylor
      Salah - KDB - Bruno (c) - Grealish - Son (vc)
      Wilson - Bamford

      Button - KWP - Mitchell - Davis

      Or, KWP > Dier and play him over Taylor?

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'd hold. But getting Dier from next week is a good shout

    10. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Disaster gw, second highest scorer after Son (9) is KdB (4)

    18. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years

      Chances of lamptey starting vs sheffield?

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years

        Why wouldn't he?

        1. Lilac Breasted Roller
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          injury/rest

          I'm fielding him in any case

    19. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      What chip route would you take if you split right down the middle with 6 bgw18 and 6 dgw19 players + 3 duds. See below

      Martinez — Forster
      Chilwell James Lamptey — Coufal Douglas
      Bruno Salah Kdb Son — Burke
      Dcl Bamford Watkins

      I will have 5Fts left so I can either
      A: get 11 players for bgw18 and FH19 with 11 dgw players or
      B: FH18 and BB gw19 with 11/12 players

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Very good question, only someone a lot better than me can answer that!

      2. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        actually, i'm a give you unpopular C option, and that is being conservative and keeping your best players and having like 7-8 players in both gw18 and 19, without maxing out. I dont intend to break my team just to go one of those routes, however tempting it may be seeing fixtures

    20. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      I need 0.2m for the Vardy ➡ Kane(c) trade...

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Correct, we need a converted bruno penalty.
        1. Bruno needs to take it.
        2. Bruno needs to score it.

    23. Kodap
      • 8 Years

      Come on Bruno

    24. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years

      Imagine getting outscored by someone who owns Aubameyang.

      FML.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        You have to quite if that happens

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          He used 2 FTs and still decided to keep him. Baffling. Meanwhile I've got 3 clean sheets on my bench.

    25. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years

      Greenwood selfish

    26. bitars
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      So Telles takes indirect free kicks?

    27. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Telles taking some free kicks off Bruno. That's annoying

    28. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years

      RashFord is on fire.

    29. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Would you be worried about rotation if Bruno plays 90 minutes tonight?
