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.

    I like Bilva but that was a $h*t move to fake a head injury. Happy to prance around after he didn't get the foul.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

  10. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years

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

  11. DA Minnion (Former great)

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

      I'm on 9 from last 10 (one KDB assist in that time). Next week I'm gonna do a random number generator or something. Honestly no clue anymore.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I really don’t know what the hell to do right in this game anymore.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

        I'm going to (c) Dias from now on. You know you will get at least 12

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

          I thought this last week, but then Kane had to go and get injured so I couldn't buy Dias.

        2. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Trust me, the moment I get him he’ll drop dead or lose a leg in a freak gardening accident, or some such nonsense that will stop him getting any points.

  15. diesel001
