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.

    I know I post some drivel sometimes, but god there are some inane trollposters on here.

    Love that they only show themselves when they’ve done well too...

    1. DAZZ

      Drivel is an understatement x

      Ill take someone like Irbox whos abrasive but at least posts his opinions before the fact over all the captain hindsights crawling out of the woodwork once they know the results any day of the week.

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

        I reluctantly agree

      4. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I captained Bruno but agree about the childish retrospective nonsense. It is what it is

    4. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I can't see those "lol @ KDB cappers" "Bruno was the obvious choice" anywhere.. We're plenty of them the other day...

  5. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Captain who for next week lads?

    1. AlternativeB
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Bruno

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

      Who the hell knows anymore. Might as well go Soucek away at Chelsea. If not, Kane.

    3. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Bamford

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Son or Kane

    5. Gross Blank Point
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Salah

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

      Tempted by Watkins. Probably wont. Also like Mahrez and Kane/Son.

  6. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    There’s history with 3-3s here

  7. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    That's why lindelof is a bad idea

  8. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Which one?

    A) Taylor 4.4 ( WOL, Leeds, SHU )
    B) Alioski 4.4 ( manu, BUR, wba )

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

    I want to bring in Salah. Who to go of Grealish, KDB and Bruno?

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

      If money’s not object then Grealish, but it’s really such a lottery

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        WBA drew against MC...Grealish did not get a thing vs BUR today. So it is a dilemma.

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

          Yep but they rode their luck.

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

      wouldnt drop Jack b4 WBA

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

    Brewster equaliser would be incredible

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

      It sure would

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Get bruno back on

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

    poor Luck Ollie

  13. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Dang Bruno (c) McGoldrick (vc). Oh well

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

      Hahahahahah

    2. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      McGoldrick vc??? Was that a joke vc - what was the logic behind it?

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Only joking lads. This game can be brutal. Have to take it with a grain of salt sometimes!

  14. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane and Jota 2 points
    Bruno and Watkins 3 points
    Hit minus 4 points.
    All in all tidy work.

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

      Did Robbo and Son to Taylor and Bruno for a hit as I wanted to Captain Bruno over KDB. Rather not think about how much that's cost me.

  15. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno fail

    1. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Him and KDB were the best. It was a 50/50 can't be too hard on it.

    2. InterUranus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Was the obvious choice.

  16. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Rhys Williams... Will he play another game?

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

      Matip trained today.

      He’ll need an injury, which is likely this season.

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers rainer! Was considering getting him as I need to burn a FT...

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

    Dean Henderson helping old friends out or just a bit shite?

    1. ilikewud
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hard to anticipate that last goal. If Henderson was trying to help them out he's doing a poor job of it.

  18. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Blades, do 'em.

  19. Mufc202020
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Do we think that big FPL players will be rested on the weekend? 1 for yes, 2 for no
    KDB, Bruno, Salah, Chilwell, Sterling

    I reckon 12122

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

      First 4 won't imo

      1. Mufc202020
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        You think sterling will then?

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      3

      1. Mufc202020
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I don’t think that’s an option

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

      Kdb won't be rested Vs saints, they're too good

    4. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      City won't rest KDB, Salah potentially. Bruno also could be rested

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

    Imagine how many Brewster could have got I'd played from the start. That kid is not utilised properly

    1. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He got several chances from the start

  21. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Salah or Bruno cap next gw

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

      Soucek

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

      Bruno

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Son

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

      Kane if you own, else Salah

    5. Party time
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Bruno imo

    6. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Mendy
      Chilwell | Targett | Reguilon
      Salah | KDB | B.Fernandes | Son | Grealish
      DCL | Bamford

      Forster | Dallas | Brewster | Mitchell

      2FTs, 0ITB

      Guys, is there better move than Mendy => Martinez?

      1. Real Pathetico
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Fabianski and Meslier have some great upcoming fixtures

        1. Real Pathetico
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Martinez GW16-18 is god awful

    7. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Transfermarkt is telling me Harry Kane has 14 goals in 10 games against Leicester. That is correct, right? Just seems a bit insane is all. Looking to bring in and captain this week

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yep. He loves playing them.

      2. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        It is correct. His favourite opponents. Second are Arsenal

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

        Yup, Kane (C) locked in for me. As well saving FT

        1. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Name checks out

      4. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        He had 4 in one game I remember. Spring midweek game a few years back

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

      Bruno to come back on and help secure a 4th goal

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

      Robertson or Trent, or neither?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Robbo

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

        Robertson

      3. ilikewud
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Neither for me. Doesn't fit with my team structure at the moment. I'll see when the DWG comes but likely won't have either until next WC.

    10. Hattrick Harry
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      ManU melting in the eyes

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Bamford [C] next

        1. Hattrick Harry
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          MOT

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

      I don't care about my bruno pts anymore I just want a SHU point

    12. aborg
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Don't know about you Martinez owners but he has been my highest scoring player in the past two GW's. Incredible...from a goalie !

      1. Real Pathetico
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Same here! With WBA next too. But GW16-18 are looking terrible :/

    13. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Good save henderson

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

      Brutal Brewster
