Henderson and Telles in for de Gea and Shaw as Brewster is benched again

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.

      Reguillon -> Dier to get some money ITB. Reguillon can be rotated with B.Davies over Christmas period. Use the money to get rid of Mitchell (C.Taylor) and Riedewald (-> Soucek / Lookman) to playing subs as you’ll need them for the next month

        so frustrating when you check out ur mini league leader, and every week he seems to have great score and or luck. This week he had stones and mahrez who didnt efature, and Dallas is coming in for him. To end the week on 70 points...

            no ofc not, but still even when he has blanking players has scorers on his bench coming in. Some people just have sick luck some seasons and couldnt put a foot wrong if they tried, always seems to be like this, one player in a league who can never do any wrong, seem impossible to catch.

        Score/rank check ?

        51 pts for me, up from 548k to 469k.

        A very frustrating gameweek, with KDB (C), Vardy, Grealish and Bruno blanking when they should have got returns.

        But it's still a green arrow (7th in a row now) and we move on. Hopefully I'll break inside the top 400k in GW14. Step by step...

          I'm considering the exact same honestly.

          I'm considering going without Kane to be able to bring in Salah.

          I really want to have KDB but I just feel that Salah is the best set-and-forget captain and all the rest (B,C,D) or cheaper than KDB and will possibly provide similar (if not better) value over the season.

        Haven't owned Bruno this season at all. 700k rank. Now owning KDB this week either. Not bad.. But the stress of not owning the two is just too much. I'll cave in and get bruno probably.

        Have to say I quite like Ally Mcoist's punditry on prime.

          Team is good but wouldn't have 2 x City. Mahrez to Son somehow?
