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.

    I think Premier League managers should be forced to consider the FPL ownership of their players when it comes to team selection. It's unfair to hurt so many managers with their wanton benchings.

    I'm drafting a petition to force PL managers to not drop players owned by 20% or over of FPL managers and if it gets 100,000 signatures it will get discussed by Parliament.

      Pep is completely selfish he doesn't care about anyone but himself

    3. ivantys

      FPL should change their rules to immediately make VC the C if C doesn't start. It's such a huge disadvantage if the manager decides to become a fraud that GW.

        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        What if I want my captain for the 30 minutes he will play?

      They can drop them as long as they tell us before the deadline... seems like a reasonable enough request to me
