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.

    Extremely worried seems as if Bruno is not playing well but never know, i need to beat rival so i can top H2H League

    I have Salah C and rival has Bruno C

    Do i have a chance?

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      With the wealth of information and context, I will say he has won

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing has changed since last asking, if he’s still on the pitch he can do something

  2. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Well. It is what it is. Like Kdb, a good decision which doesn’t turn into points. Meh... It’s more the constant ”bad luck” that gets me this season.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It’s not bad luck. Players can’t score/assist every single week. Bruno hasn’t blanked away ever for United, now all of a sudden, half this site is in tears and wants to sell him.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Don’t want to sell. He is class. I was referring to the new norm of low scores despite trying to predict form, fixtures etc.

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          This season has become very boring, mainly because TAA/Robertson, Sterling, Aubameyang, Mane, aren’t scoring enough.

          If they were, teams would be different. Teams right now all feel the same and it’s pretty boring.

      2. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        And of course they can’t. Hence we don’t cap the same player each gw.

  3. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is there a ketchup and sugar embargo going on at McDonalds, everytime I went recently the tight fckers dont put any in my bag, luckily I keep asking, they then sigh and give me some.

      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

  11. In Bale We Trust
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Extremely kneejerky, but who else looking at Rash thinking he could be a nice differential to get on early? Has a double and decent fixtures up to it

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Chasing points.

    2. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why not.
      I might trade Mahrez for him.

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

    Best option for the next 2?

    A) KDB, Wilson

  13. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Would is be a rash decision to get rashford in?

    Or would the sonsible decision be to get son?

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      get out

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Are you going to give me a sonsible answer Bruce Lee, or shall we spa?

        1. Bruce Lee
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Sorry I don't want it with you buddy 🙁

          Son

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Rashford is god awful, just SHU making him look class. Rashford or Son? That’s an insult to Son

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Rashford more interested in Turkey dinosaurs and potato wedges then goals these days

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Lol so true

        2. MikeS
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Lol

        3. MikeS
          • 11 Years

          New Jamie Oliver for kids lunches

        4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I bet they give him ketchup and sugar at McDs too.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            you know it

  14. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    You guys told me it would feel good owning Fernandes

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

    Why did Wilder buy Brewster? Just to warm the bench. Atleast give the lad a proper run. It's not like your other strikers are banging in hatties FFS!

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Very baffling when managers make these types of decisions... almost makes you think it could be personal

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He's clueless, totally lost. You spend that money you build a team around him.

    3. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      If you look closely McGoldrick has a hattrick this season.

    4. Lev Yashin
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty much this.

  16. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Oh my dear lord yes! Martial! Finally!

    Owned since GW2. No returns and only 12 points before tonight.

    The bad news is that now I probably won't have it in me to sell him.

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You deserve everything tonight, enjoy

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        🙂

        I was accidentally trying to log into fantasy.premierleaks.com instead. Damn autofill address bar.:(

    4. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      ???

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      At long last! Hehe. Take it & run mate

    6. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You’d have got more points owning Joelinton

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Who?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Exactly! And he has more points than Martial

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I'll look into him. Should save me some money for my disappointment

  17. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Will Bruno give Rash the pen for his hatrick?

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

      Surely.

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      This is the way

  18. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    3 United goals. No Bruno involvement. Now that is rare

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Exactly the same last game vs. Sheff Utd (remember capping him and it was like the only game he blanked in post restart)

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      3 United goals - no VAR involvement. Even rarer.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Comedian

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Truth. Not one ball has gone out of play for a goal tonight either!

  19. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Sold Martial GW3 FFS, can't believe how unlucky I am at this game

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lol, that was back in the summer... all the leaves have fallen from the tree since then.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years

    • KGFC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Seems like no one in the United team has Bruno captain in their FPL teams 😛

    • FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Who’d have thought Bruno wouldn’t outscore KDB after the City game... annoying.

      Especially against the blades, with 3 Goals

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Amazing really, happy though

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

      Who's thinking of a FH in GW18?

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

        I don’t know what to think anymore with the news City might play Villa in a DGW19
