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.

    What to do with 2FTs here, 0.0 ITB? Nothing I really want to do...

    Martinez
    Chilwell - Lamptey - Alioski
    Salah - Son - Bruno - KDB - Grealish
    DCL - Bamford

    Button - Mitchell - Coufal - Brewster

    Chilwell --> James?
    Bruno + Brewster --> Burke + Kane?

    Bruno cappers were way too confident after the City game. Almost celebrating like they had won the gameweek lol.

    Captaining the lowest scoring player in your team - always fun

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

      That's why I have James

  4. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    49 all out yuck! Keep getting the captain wrong.

  5. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    My 7th captain blank of the season. Surely no one worse

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      4 complete blank but another 4 4-5 pointers

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I have those on top of these lol

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

      8, capped a premium every single week.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Damn. The surprising part is, two of my blanks have come from Son. End this season already

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Never failed to score or assist away, playing bottom of the league. He was obviously gonna end up blanking.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Unfortunate that, nice enough owning alone tbf

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You have to follow your own knowledge. Amount of times I get criticised for having a different view on here, yet I ignore. Plenty examples. One being captaining Sterling ahead of KDB this game week.

      1. Coys96
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Couldn't agree more. Needed it badly though. 3.5mil atm 🙁

    3. david31058
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You'll get over it, after all, you were easily convinced so you clearly weren't seriously considering it

    4. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Did you cap Rash. I remember reading that post

      1. Coys96
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        No !

    5. NejiHyuuga01
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I feel you, last week I benched Justin coz I got swayed at an A or B post. Always follow your gut, you are the manager

      1. Coys96
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Very true. Completely agree with ya mate

        1. Digital-Real
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Just follow your football knowledge and instinct. Now you know. Good luck for the rest of the season.

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

  14. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    If you still have WC would you tempted to upgrade Bruno to Mane for a 2 week punt?

  15. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Keep the armband on Bruno or switch to Kane for next week.

    Have Salah and KDB too

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

      I'd cap Kane if I had him.

  16. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Still my captain vs Leeds

  17. Bounce
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    No interest in this game anymore. Guess I'll talk to the missus.

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

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

  19. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Still yet to reach 70 points a single game week this season. Utter dog sh*te.

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

      Try having just 3 game weeks over 60 and 8 captain blanks in 14 with not a single punt pick...

  20. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Man United extend record breaking away run, by having come from behind and then gone on to win the match. 7 in a row.

  21. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    54pts all out. Another meh week.

    Back to chip planning!

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

    Is there an easy way to see how many hits you’ve taken?

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

      Nope. Hurts your eyes every time.

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years

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

    Can’t be captaining Bruno v Leeds now surely, if he was that bad...

    Who else?

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

      You're not watching the game ? Bruno in the middle of everything.

    2. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He wasn’t bad, he was very good. No one hauls every single week.

      Relax.

  27. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Btw I did not make fun of any KDB captainers because I know the feeling. But this is funny as first time Bruno owner with record breaking away blanl against Sheffield which has 1p 😀

  28. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno (C) against Leeds locked in.

  29. fridge
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I have exact money for the below, think it’s worth it?

    Mahrez, Jota, Vardy > Salah, Grealish, Welbeck (-4)
