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.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Van Aanholt, Dann, Kouyaté, Clyne; Zaha, McCarthy, Milivojevic, Eze; Ayew, Batshuayi.

    Sterling to come on?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mahrez and cancelo seem to be warming up more vigorously

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

      Hopefully Rodri's the 3rd sub

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

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

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Even KDB blanked so many times, what did you expect?

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

      Take personal responsibility

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

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

    3. lifes a pitch
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      YOU followed the wrong expert

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

      Yep. 20 minutes of either beats most bench options.

  7. Del Griffith
    • 14 Years

    Need another Soucek haul to save the game week

      1. It's Fergie Time
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        yes, that must be it.

    4. lifes a pitch
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      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.

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

    Dias goal so much needed

  11. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 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.

  12. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 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 😀

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

      Cancelo*

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Why did you WC this week?

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

        Why, indeed...

  13. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Oh dear god, horrific start to the game week

  14. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

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

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

    Pereira haul!!

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

    Currently at + 1pt after my minus 8.

    Probably not the week to take such a big hit.

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

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

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

    Pereira G

  19. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Areola epic fail

    1. Deulofail

    Stonewall pen denied

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bald fraud needs to take a long hard look at himself in the mirror....

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mirror is probably rotated against the wall

      1. Jafooli

      • 13 Years
