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.

      Cleansheet points lost how it is related to Bruno captaincy?

      1. The VAR Team
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

          5 years, 4 months ago

          Still 85mins left to decide

          1. The VAR Team
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            1. Jindaljain

      2. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        you do know midfielders get cs points?

        1. Jindaljain
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          You should be worried about Bruno haul for atleast a goal or assist or bonus not that silly 2 pts

    3. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Future guy

  7. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is the goal good or bad for United attackers?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Good, they were 2-0 down to Saints the other day and won 3-2

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Probably good

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes.

  8. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Right, let's get....... oh

  9. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    By the time Bruno's EO is around 90%. We Bruno owners but not captained gain rank if he returns. No problem if he hauls despite having KDB as Captain.

  10. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    CS lost. Oh well

  11. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Once a blade

  12. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    WOW

    In an other forum I predicted a McGoldrick goal at the 5th minute.

    What the actual.

  13. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bowen injury likely to keep him out of next game?

    Coufal or Taylor in for Mitchell? Plan to bench them but may need them for Cancelo or Bowen, also planning to play them in BB GW19

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Who told you that Bowen is injured?

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Ben Dinnery twitter. Moyes said he injured his ankle in the warm up. Hopefully he should be OK if he managed to play the game last night. I

        I'm going Coufal expecting him in for Cancelo as prefer him in the DGW. Expecting a low scoring GW for me again. Fingers crossed for otherwise. Best of Luck!

        1. AzzaroMax99
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Thx.
          Coufal is better option long term.

  14. Revival

    5 years, 4 months ago

    Utd sure love giving opponents a 2-0 head-start

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Very cunning plan, makes them lower their guard

  15. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    A Bruno blank wouldn't be so bad for non captainers

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      With ya

  16. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    KDB 4 pointer > Bruno 2 pointer

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah. Regretting Bruno (c) right now

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Would rather have the potential of points than KDB's 4.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      4 points doubled is a return, it's not a mega haul but it's still a return

    3. The VAR Team
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If he avoids a yellow that is

  17. Iwantmorepointsthanks
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    KDB(C) not looking that bad now

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Way to early to be saying things like this.

  18. Londongeezaa

    If Bruno fails, I’m no longer captaining the top 3 most popular choices for any gameweek.

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Cracking tale pal

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    DDG clean sheet gone

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      When he was dropped

  20. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Would you keep Grealish on WC?

    I know it’s raw now but at that price, what else is there? Zaha perhaps

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He’s pretty much season keeper for me

  21. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale terrible soccer baller

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    KDB captainers creaming themselves bc Bruno lost his CS?

    Calm down lads

    1. Party time
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Salah cappers aren’t even getting involved. Real class from them

    2. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Englands goalkeeper situation is cursed

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Pope says hi

    3. JayLegend
      • 11 Years

    6. the_duke
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Provably bad news for us non bruno owners that goal. United will have to go for it now like the previous away games.

    7. Genji3lade
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thoughts on a Dallas & Alioski double up?

    8. Kryptonite666
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Feel bad for Deano. This mistake will mean he will never start another PL game ahead of De Gea

    9. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Sheff United scored? 😆 Incredible
