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.

    How would this bench boosted team look like for (D)GW19? Of course if no injuries

    Meslier(BRI, SOU), Fabianski(BUR, WBA)
    Robertson(UTD, BUR), Chilwell(ful, lei), Coufal(BUR,WBA), Alioski(BRI, SOU), Justin(SOU,CHE)

  2. Mr. O'Connell

    What is an Ethan Ampadu? And what does it du?

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

    Keep Grealish vs WBA or get Son 1 week sooner than planned?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’m deliberating the same.. and I think you have to keep Grealish. He is the heartbeat of that team and was so unlucky not to register points against Burnley

  4. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Brewster is utterly dreadful

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

    No ref, pls give a red to Pog not a yellow

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He’d have to do something that warrants a red.

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

        Oh dang, you are so right. Can his time spent in his hairdos and in Minos lap be considered?? 😆

  6. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Embarassing that a team like Man Utd can't even string two passes together in the final minutes when trying to keep a score. Always panicking and always looking like conceding that last minute equalizer.

  7. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    KDB cap success then.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Points for everyone 😎

      1. fedolefan

        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

    2. KUN+10
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      First C blank of the season, it was time. Im just glad it was on a GW where other premium cappers did not go crazy.

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

        Must be nice

        1. KUN+10
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Not really...sitting at around 200k. Even thou cappers did not blank. they didn't make the greater of impacts.

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

            Aww i feel so sorry for you at 200k, sincerely, my heart goes out to you 😉

            1. KUN+10
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              hahaha...ok fair enough. I wont complain anymore. Just that feeling you know

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

      For all the talk, Oles poor United are 2 points, with a game in hand, behind Jose’s super Spurs...

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

        But Ole won’t be there next summer. It’s just inevitable he will eventually get sacked.

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

        Imagine the criticism if United were not getting results, or drawing with West Brom.

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

      United scrape through... Again!

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

        Sign of champions.

        1. No Professionals
          • 8 Years

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

      Start Anguissa over KDB, Bruno or Graelish?

    7. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      The media will try and make out like Ole is useless for conceding two against ShU - due to a Gk error and a referee error...

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

        Or for taking Bruno off for VDB

    8. Mile Plankton

      Green or red?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years

      2. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

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

    9. pablo discobar
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Bahhaahaaa officially worst start ever for Sheffield United. Only one Carlos Tevez

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

        Worst start by any team in top flight since when it was set up in 1888!!

    10. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      KDB or Kane?

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

        Both

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

      Man Utd fans probably thinking now, they can win the league

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

      McGoldrick steals the 3 BAPs from Rashford!

    13. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Bruno blank is so soothing

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

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

        Tastes good doesn’t it, like being kissed by god with a mouthful of scotch

    14. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years

    15. AC Pilkington
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Struggling between Kane and Bruno captain this weekend, very tough one!

      Thoughts?

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

        Whichever one you choose, the other will do better

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

      Martinez
      Robertson Chilwell Cancelo
      Salah Son KDB Grealish Foden
      DCL Bamford

      Forster Dallas Brewster Ferguson

      2 FT, 0.3 itb

      what to do here... is Foden >> Soucek the move, or something else ??

    17. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Mitchell to
      A) Dallas
      B) C. Taylor

    18. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      United to win the league. Mark my words.

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I don't think West Ham are quite there yet but Moyes is clearly building something.

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

        Literally zero chance

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

        Could happen

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

          It 100% couldn’t

      4. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        And sack Ole anyway. Chaos reigns!

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

      Red arrow after auto subs! 😎

    20. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      When your goalkeeper out scores Fernandez caps

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

      Zaha to Greenwood is a waste of a transfer right?

      1. Here is Cash, give McGinn
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Sure

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

        Definitely I have Greenwood only because he’s one of my favourite players wouldn’t do that

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

      5 points off Liverpool with a game in hand!

      pE TeAcHER!!!

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        You have look at the nature of those wins. Barely scraped through vs SHU and WBA. Ole showed in the Champions League that he is out of his depth when it comes to tactical decisions.

    23. Mr. Mystic
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Downgrade Vardy for Salah for -4 or wait another week?

    24. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      When your goalkeeper out scores Fernandez caps. Love it. You beauty. Season becoming even more crazy.
