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

Raheem Sterling (£11.6m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.1m), Joao Cancelo (£6.0m) and John Stones (£5.2m) are all among the substitutes as Manchester City host Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon.

Ilkay Gündogan (£5.8m), Phil Foden (£6.3m) and Ruben Dias (£5.9m) hold onto their starting berths amid all the changes.

Gabriel Jesus (£9.1m) returns to Manchester City’s line-up for the first time since the first match of Gameweek 19 while Foden and Ferran Torres (£6.9m) staff the flanks either side of him.

Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m) comes in for Stones at centre-back with Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) and Kyle Walker (£6.1m) 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 (£5.6m), John Lundstram (£4.9m) and Oliver Norwood (£4.5m) in midfield while Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) and Oliver Burke (£4.2m) are up-front.

Also of encouragement for the Blades is a return on the bench for Oli McBurnie (£5.6m).

Manchester City are not the only team to rotate this afternoon as Tyrick Mitchell (£3.9m) drops to the bench for Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) to come in.

Jordan Ayew (£5.6m) and Michy Batshuayi (£5.7m) are paired up-front for Crystal Palace with Wilfried Zaha (£7.2m) dropping back to replace Andros Townsend (£5.6m) on the flanks of midfield.

Ruben Neves (£5.2m) and Adama Traoré (£6.0m) are on the bench for Wolves with João Moutinho (£5.2m) and new signing Willian José (£7.0m) come into the side.

Max Kilman (£4.0m) earns another start in the back-three while Romain Saïss (£5.0m) is not in the matchday squad.

West Bromwich Albion are in 5-4-1 for the meeting with Fulham featuring Robert Snodgrass (£5.7m) and Matheus Pereira (£5.6m) staffing the left and right-hand side of midfield.

And Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m) is the fall-guy at Fulham, dropping to the bench so Aleksandar Mitrović (£5.5m) can lead their 3-4-2-1 formation.

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

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

  9. Coys96
    • 8 Years

    Foden ugh 🙁 This season is horrible

    1. Coys96
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

  10. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Get up Foden

  11. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    looks like Mahrez Cancelo coming on

    1. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice slightly less chance of Sterling being subbed on.

  12. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cancelo as he’d have gotten points.

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

        Would agree

  13. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

  14. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Good punt. Almost thought of bringing him in

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Really? He should get it.

      Intended area.

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

      Unlucky...

      Deflection.

      He's on form

    4. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Given!!!

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  16. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Forden looks ok to continue

  17. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gundo finally reverting back to midfield when I cap.

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

      He's pretty advanced with Jesus and Torres out wide

  18. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  19. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A single save Areola? Ffs man

  20. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  21. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Foden was barely toucehd, he's fine

  22. Pukki Blinders
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Get Gundo off already!

  23. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Why Perreira assist not given??

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      His name isn’t Bruno...

    2. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

        Given!

  24. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    No chance Dias is off before the 60th 🙁

  25. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  26. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    City need Cancelo ON

  27. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed

  28. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson first on the bench, Sterling (C)

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Very lucky

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

        Sterling is going to come on.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling staying benched would be huge for you!

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

      Skill!

  29. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any others starting Areola with Martinez on the bench this week? 🙁

  30. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    HOLD Gundo

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      hold what

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

        CS point. 3 points is a haul this week.
