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.

      Sterling to come on?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Mahrez and cancelo seem to be warming up more vigorously

        • ivantys
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Hopefully Rodri's the 3rd sub

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

        I hope everyone who said Gundogan was essential is happy. They've ruined mine and thousands of others gameweeks.

          Take personal responsibility

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

            Why would I take personal responsibility when there are experts to tell me everything to do

          YOU followed the wrong expert

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

        There’s that tipping point where if Sterling / Cancelo come on now, at least they have time to do something

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

          Yep. 20 minutes of either beats most bench options.

            • 10 Years

            yes, that must be it.

          Whats ur rank?
          Most likely u have more players thats have played and/or those around you have taken more hits than you

          1. It's Fergie Time

        Such a crap game, city 4 shots SHU 2 shots.

      7. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Dias goal so much needed

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

        Even if Gundogan doesn't do anything it might not be a catastrophic choice as captain. 2 x 3 is better than 2 x 2, or 2 x 1. Advanced maths eh? He'll probably get something anyway.

      9. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Well, my WC is going great.

        Digne (c)
        DCL (Wilson out for him)
        Canceling
        Stones
        Johnstone

        Looks like Zaha and Gundo will be my top scorers this week ๐Ÿ˜€

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Cancelo*

        2. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years

          Why did you WC this week?

          1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Why, indeed...

        Oh dear god, horrific start to the game week

      11. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Since when did Fernandinho become a defender. He getting in the way of baps for real defenders

      12. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Pereira haul!!

      13. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Currently at + 1pt after my minus 8.

        Probably not the week to take such a big hit.

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

        Likely a 25+ point swing if Sterling doesn’t come on. Wilson first on the bench.

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

        Pereira G
