Dan Burn (£4.2m) is on the bench as Brighton travel to Sheffield United in Blank Gameweek 33.

The budget defender played a full 90 minutes in Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea, coming away with a fifth clean sheet of the campaign.

That was his first start since his Gameweek 28 injury and it looks as if Graham Potter is taking no chances with his fitness for this one, even with Ben White (£4.5m) suspended.

Joël Veltman (£4.4m) forms part of the back-three with Adam Webster (£4.3m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.9m), who has 31 points in his last five matches thanks to a goal, three clean sheets and five bonus.

Jakub Moder (£5.0m) and Pascal Groß (£5.8m) are in the wing-back roles tonight while Leandro Trossard (£5.7m) features alongside forwards Neal Maupay (£6.0m) and Danny Welbeck (£5.5m).

The Belgian has two double-figure hauls in his last five Premier League appearances while Sheffield United have conceded 13 goals in their last five.

Rhian Brewster (£4.3m) remains the most popular Sheffield United asset with 5.2% worldwide ownership and he makes his second successive start against Brighton, lining up alongside David McGoldrick (£5.2m).

Blank Gameweek 33 Line-ups

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; K Bryan, Egan, Baldock; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Osborn, Bogle; McGoldrick, Brewster.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (3-4-1-2): R Sánchez; Webster, Dunk, Veltman; Moder, Lallana, Bissouma, Groß; Trossard; Maupay, Welbeck.

Blank Gameweek 33 so far…

Timo Werner (£9.2m) scored the only goal of Chelsea’s 1-0 win over West Ham, his first in the Premier League since Gameweek 24.

Ben Chilwell (£5.8m), who continues to keep Marcos Alonso (£5.7m) out of the side, got the assist in a closely-fought battle for the top four.

Chelsea got back to their clean-sheet securing ways as Edouard Mendy (£5.2m) and César Azpilicueta (£5.9m) returned to the starting XI, although the former lost one of his points from a stoppage-time yellow card for time wasting.

Jesse Lingard’s (£6.6m) run of reliable FPL delivery came to an end at the London Stadium, the scene of his first blank since Gameweek 23.

That means he has now gone two matches without an attacking return from open play since Aaron Cresswell (£5.7m) sustained a hamstring injury.

Bonus points

  • 3 – Ben Chilwell
  • 2 – Antonio Rüdiger
  • 1 – Thiago Silva

      Correct call

    3. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      I thought the ball had to go forward?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        The player needs to be behind the ball when it's played. You just don't see it happening like this too often.

      Another PB equalling FPL score for Brewster. Consistent.

      1. _Ninja_

        Damn it knew there was something wrong.

  5. The Suspended One

    I laughed when I saw my rival started Bissouma .

    Not laughing anymore

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I don’t get it.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Looks the most likely for Brighton

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Ah gotcha

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)

    I need this season to end. Fed up with it now.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Gonna call you Fudgy 2.0

      Breathe my man

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years

      Great rank though

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Worth doing Jota to Greenwood?

    Have just now the exact funds

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What do you do if Greenwood gets injured tomorrow?

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it.

      I did DCL to Lacazette on saturday.
      Lacazette got injured on sunday.

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm about to ask this. Keep Jota or switch to Greenwood.

      Their stats are almost the same over last four gameweeks but Greenwood could score.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Manchester United also still in UEL. That's probably another reason for not to make a switch yet.

        Have UEL / UCL got suspended? I saw it somewhere when the news of Super League announced.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          No...

          1. NATSTER
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Thank you. That means United may give priority in UEL for trophy too.

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Ole never rotates

              1. NATSTER
                • 15 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Right. I forgot this.

                1. The Suspended One
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  I don’t generally buy Greenwood being nailed. I do expect him to play vs Liverpool.

    4. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Reasonable to wait after all, United fixtures ain’t looking that great after all too

    5. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, Jota is a trap. Still trying to prise my ankle free.

  8. REDMOND IN SANDALS
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    what is Maupay's goal/XG ratio again?

  9. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Maupay is so consistent.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Still has more goals than Firmino and Werner

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I never said Werner wasn't consistent either!

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

    TAA Salah
    Watkins Nacho Kane
    Bruno Greenwood
    Some Everton Wolves

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Beware of blank 36

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

        Wish I didn't waste my FH for nothing...
        But have BB left for potential double..

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Will be a balancing act between 35/36

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

      Just get Martinez as GK.

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

    When the hell are we going to hear confirmation on DGW 35/BGW 36?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully before deadline

      Next week

  12. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton are another one of those teams whose defenders get CS and BAPs when they're buried deep on your bench and then blank whenever you start them.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      True

    2. The Red Devil
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      always

  13. Nomar

    Typical Brighton. The week you need their players to turn up.....

    1. MMN
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If only that were also true for the week ppl went triple Brighton in the blank and they hauled ...

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Remind me of Wigan from a few years ago. They'd always produce some ridiculous performance against a top side and then get beat by West Brom at home the following week.

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      When i needed them veltman Trossard and dunk got me 44 points in one week

      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

  15. REDMOND IN SANDALS
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    at least i didn't get trossard so that's something

    1. Bushwhacker

  17. Garth Marenghi
    • 10 Years

    Do we know why Diogo only played 57 minutes today?

    1. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The most logical conclusion was that he was losing the ball too often (and he really was) and Newcastle genuinely did look threatening on the break. It was tactical to keep possession and reduce the counter attack threat.

  18. hueycho
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    WOW SHEFF UNITED!! Didnt see that coming!

  19. Khurram Sikandar
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Can anyone tell me or clear me how can it's announced that Sheffield Utd has been already relegated as its still 15 points left to them and Fulham and West Brom can loss their all remaining matches and Sheffield Utd can win there all remaining. Its not ideal thing to see but in Football you never know. So I think it shouldn't be called off for Sheffield Utd yet.

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Really !!!!!......

      1. Khurram Sikandar
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        What do u mean by Really. Are you acknowledging my point of view or laughing at me LOL.

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lol. How many points behind Burnley(17th) are Sheff Utd?

      1. Khurram Sikandar
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Oh yes sorry. I miss calculated. Yes Sheffield Utd has been officially relegated. I've just got it. Thanks for clearing this.
