Pep Guardiola has dealt Fantasy Premier League arguably the harshest blow of the season so far with his Gameweek 21 team-sheet.

Raheem Sterling (ยฃ11.6m), Riyad Mahrez (ยฃ8.1m), Joao Cancelo (ยฃ6.0m) and John Stones (ยฃ5.2m) are all among the substitutes as Manchester City host Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon.

Ilkay Gรผndogan (ยฃ5.8m), Phil Foden (ยฃ6.3m) and Ruben Dias (ยฃ5.9m) hold onto their starting berths amid all the changes.

Gabriel Jesus (ยฃ9.1m) returns to Manchester City’s line-up for the first time since the first match of Gameweek 19 while Foden and Ferran Torres (ยฃ6.9m) staff the flanks either side of him.

Aymeric Laporte (ยฃ6.0m) comes in for Stones at centre-back with Oleksandr Zinchenko (ยฃ5.5m) and Kyle Walker (ยฃ6.1m) on the left and right-hand side of defence respectively.

Sheffield United, as ever, line-up in a 3-5-2 formation with John Fleck (ยฃ5.6m), John Lundstram (ยฃ4.9m) and Oliver Norwood (ยฃ4.5m) in midfield while Rhian Brewster (ยฃ4.5m) and Oliver Burke (ยฃ4.2m) are up-front.

Also of encouragement for the Blades is a return on the bench for Oli McBurnie (ยฃ5.6m).

Manchester City are not the only team to rotate this afternoon as Tyrick Mitchell (ยฃ3.9m) drops to the bench for Patrick van Aanholt (ยฃ5.4m) to come in.

Jordan Ayew (ยฃ5.6m) and Michy Batshuayi (ยฃ5.7m) are paired up-front for Crystal Palace with Wilfried Zaha (ยฃ7.2m) dropping back to replace Andros Townsend (ยฃ5.6m) on the flanks of midfield.

Ruben Neves (ยฃ5.2m) and Adama Traorรฉ (ยฃ6.0m) are on the bench for Wolves with Joรฃo Moutinho (ยฃ5.2m) and new signing Willian Josรฉ (ยฃ7.0m) come into the side.

Max Kilman (ยฃ4.0m) earns another start in the back-three while Romain Saรฏss (ยฃ5.0m) is not in the matchday squad.

West Bromwich Albion are in 5-4-1 for the meeting with Fulham featuring Robert Snodgrass (ยฃ5.7m) and Matheus Pereira (ยฃ5.6m) staffing the left and right-hand side of midfield.

And Ivan Cavaleiro (ยฃ5.3m) is the fall-guy at Fulham, dropping to the bench so Aleksandar Mitroviฤ‡ (ยฃ5.5m) can lead their 3-4-2-1 formation.

      Prefer this over that DGW a few weeks back. at least everyone's getting no points, not just me.

  9. Coys96

    Foden ugh ๐Ÿ™ This season is horrible

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

      Oh wow thought he was definitely going to go off there. Phew - hopefully i jinxed

  10. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Get up Foden

  11. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    looks like Mahrez Cancelo coming on

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

      Nice slightly less chance of Sterling being subbed on.

  12. LวgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Idk which is worse.. DCL blank or Cancelo banching..

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

      Cancelo as he’d have gotten points.

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      To me DCL is way worse

      Cancelo got me points and will get me points

      Why I got DCL in I don't know

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

        Would agree

  13. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    My cup opponent has double Fulham defence. That WBA goal is very welcome

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

      Can't be much of an opponent with double Fulham defence

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

    Dang it, brought in Pereira this week and no assist given there

    1. LวgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Good punt. Almost thought of bringing him in

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

      Really? He should get it.

      Intended area.

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Unlucky...

      Deflection.

      He's on form

    4. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Given!!!

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Last time my captain scored was in GW 17...

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

    Forden looks ok to continue

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

    Gundo finally reverting back to midfield when I cap.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He's pretty advanced with Jesus and Torres out wide

  18. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Does Foden get baps for that? Need every point I can get....

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

    A single save Areola? Ffs man

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

    A few more mins before my afternoon goes from bad to worse with pep roulette

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

    Foden was barely toucehd, he's fine

  22. Pukki Blinders
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Get Gundo off already!

  23. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Why Perreira assist not given??

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

      His name isn’t Bruno...

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

      His cross won't have reached him without the deflection, but this one's quite harsh like 50-50.

      1. A. PRISE
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Given!

  24. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    No chance Dias is off before the 60th ๐Ÿ™

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

    Add this to the growing tally of captain fails then. Not even Gundo saving me this week

  26. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    City need Cancelo ON

  27. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Gundogan playing like KDB - best player on the pitch, but clearly going to blank.

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

      Agreed

  28. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Wilson first on the bench, Sterling (C)

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

      Very lucky

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Sterling is going to come on.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling staying benched would be huge for you!

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

      Skill!

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

    Any others starting Areola with Martinez on the bench this week? ๐Ÿ™

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

    HOLD Gundo

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      hold what

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

        CS point. 3 points is a haul this week.
