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.

      Sterling to come on?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Mahrez and cancelo seem to be warming up more vigorously

        • ivantys
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Hopefully Rodri's the 3rd sub

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

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

          Take personal responsibility

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

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

        3. lifes a pitch

          YOU followed the wrong expert

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

          Yep. 20 minutes of either beats most bench options.

            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

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

      7. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Dias goal so much needed

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

          Cancelo*

        2. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Why did you WC this week?

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

            Why, indeed...

        Oh dear god, horrific start to the game week

      11. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

        Pereira haul!!

      13. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

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

        Pereira G
