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

    brighton peak AC Milan defence until you actually start one of their players

  4. A. PRISE

    Well done Potter! Starting only 3 defenders thinking you are Paris SG. What an idiot!

    1. Bennerman
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Eh? Is this not the same 3-5-2 formation they almost always play?

      I'm not watching but the lineup suggests three centre-backs and two wing-backs, a formation that loads and loads of teams play, across the levels

      1. A. PRISE
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Have you seen who are the wing backs? Pascal Gross is one of them. If that's not the definition of idiocy, I don't know what is.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          That goal had nothing to do with the wing backs. White badly missed.

            • 13 Years

            I guess Gross’s terrible clearance attempt qualifies... as you were

    Great gw to fh. Mane, Taa, Dunk blank. Was expecting little bit more.

    All I need is Trossard to get rc and I'm done with this season

  9. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Started Sanchez. Enjoy your Martinez haul folks.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I missed Sanchez 9 pointer but reckoned Martinez would have more save points this week

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      It was a logical desision imo

    3. not_astarte
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      how do you start Sanchez over Martinez while he has WBA at home.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Ahem, SHU are a really bad team?

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Who has scored more goals across the last 2,3,4,5 etc GWs?

      3. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Because Pereira is going large this week, he owes me a haul or 2

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I have both too.

    5. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Never bench Martinez!!

  10. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    I think I’m going to just get 5 x 4m defenders next season and put all my budget into my front 8. Pointless owning defenders it seems.

  11. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Yep nice one Brighton, SHU were always gonna score having brought Dunk in.
    Way to go Brighton.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Was it a one week punt or a buy till end of season?

  12. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Need Coady, Fofana and Vardy now to make a big breakthrough into the 10k.

  13. Steve The Spud

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        One of the mugs to have never owned Justin

        Got some Dallas points but missed the 17 pointer

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Same here; talked myself right out of Justin’s points...

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Backfire for a backward move

      1. REDMOND IN SANDALS
        • 5 Years

        wouldn't be so sure with pep roulette

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          I’m shocked they number of sellers on Dias as they get to the end of the season, he’s been relatively immune even during serious fixture congestion, and stones just got suspended...

  15. FFSCasual
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Where is Brewster's assist??

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I think Brighton defender got the ball to McGoldrick.

      1. FFSCasual
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        It wasn't clear cut from the replays and I'm surprised no one is taking a closer look at it.. low ownership I guess...

  16. not_astarte
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    what should I hope for as veltman owner?

    1. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      An assist

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Premier league football next season

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      BPS to hold

  17. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Guess I'll need to hope Dunk smashes one in then

  18. Pep bites Kun
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Where do fpl pundits get there stats from?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      * or 'their' 🙂

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Opta

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        I have should said data. Have you worked with it before?

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Just through FFS website. I’d talk to Ragabolly about sourcing it directly, Im sure he can help you out.

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            Thank you

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      A brown envelope

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        I appreciate your point, but the data must come from somewhere in pure raw format. If you want to say that's contaminated, then that's a different play that would need more than just opinion.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          It starts with opta, goes to fpl website and can be linked via webservice

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            Which webservice, if you don't mind me asking?

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Is the data less than raw?

  19. Bagheri Arce
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Any further rumours or insight on DGW?

    Villa v Everton
    Palace v Southampton
    Chelsea v Leicester

    Any others?

    Will the dates get announced next week, i.e. start of May?

  20. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Nothing like Sheffield United vs Brighton to occupy the Saturday night TV!

    I’m sure there’s a reason for this but why does it always seem to be the lesser sides on the late Saturday kick off?
    Doesn’t it make more sense to put say the Liverpool game (or Chelsea) on the later slot for more viewers? That way people can get their chores/family stuff then watch the ‘big game’ in the evening.

    Like I said there must be a reason why it’s not, lost count the amount of times this season I’ve checked the schedule and been majorly disappointed to see teams like Fulham/Brighton/Sheff/West Brom partaking in the 8pm on a Saturday.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Especially when you consider those teams aren’t in Europe so could easily fill the early kick off spot without issue!

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      This. TV audience is far far bigger in the evenings. I don’t understand why the Liverpool and United games are on at noon / afternoon whereas Sheffield Utd and West Brom occupy the evening slots.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Is it due to the international audience, particularly Asia?

      2. The Train Driver
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Pool fans busy getting jiggy with their sisters at this time of the day...

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Well, I'm presuming you're in the UK. Lockdown; lack of other good TV & anywhere else to go perhaps?

      I reckon games will go back to 15:00 kick-off when fans are allowed back. It's all about TV and getting the football out to fans at the moment. Not such a bad thing; more a profitable way of keeping people happy.

    4. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Sky and BT Sports had already made their selections - this is one of the residual games that would have been played at 3.00pm on Saturday pre-Covid. I guess they avoided the 3.00pm slot this week because they had Championship games to televise.

    5. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Most people .... moment for self reflection .... have better things to do on a Saturday evening, and therefore are dining them ... it’s either Saturday Night Takeaway with Termite and Pier ... or this drivel. Which is why Car Crash and Midget are still on TV.

  21. Blue Moon Rising
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Own one defender (not Trent) until the end of the season

    A) Coady
    B) Dallas
    C) Coufal
    D) Rudiger
    E) another

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 4 days ago

        At this point dallas or coufal

      • Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Dallas, Rudiger close second, then Coady and Coufal.

      • Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Dallas ... most fun you can have outside Debbie.

      • The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        B

    2. FFSCasual
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      The replay clearly shows that the ball richocheted off Brewster towards McGoldrick! Shouldn't that be assist?

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Watch the Gross' left foot.

      2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        It is illegal, as per premier league rules, that Brewster can provide any gain to himself, or a team mate, for the duration of this season.

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          😆 I love this rule

    3. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Leaving it late here but I can't believe Salah is getting 2 bonus points

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        The bps system is obviously fixed

      2. Etonmessi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        ya beauty!!!

      3. Bennerman
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Lush! Was hoping against hope he'd somehow be readjusted to nick one bonus, but had very little hope. To hear he has jumped to two is sweet as a nut.

        He leaks those bonus points like mad, so many missed chances and balls given away!

      4. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Hopefully Salah will get an assist in the evening game and we'll get the third point.

      5. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Did any other Pool players impress you?

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          At least the guy scored a goal.

      6. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years

        Deserved to be honest

    4. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Ive gone though the opta stats of the Liverpool game

      And matched the stats with the bps scoring system on this site

      Salah ends up with exactly 20

      So how does he conveniently jump the exact number that gives him 2 baps?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Bps scoring on fpl site

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Key pass, big chance created

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Thats included in the stats that got him to 20

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            He’s on 24

          2. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            OPTA have added the big chance Salah created for Mane in the first half where Mane’s couldn’t shoot.

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              Key passes are only counted if the player receiving the pass shoots. Thats what the rule was until today. Farce

              1. The Suspended One
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 4 days ago

                The final pass or pass-cum-shot leading to the recipient of the ball having an attempt at goal without scoring.

                I believe trying to round the keeper qualifies as an attempt and big chance missed

                A big chance opportunity when the player does not get a shot away, typically given for big chance attempts where the player shooting completely misses the ball (air shot) but can also be given when the player has a big chance opportunity to shoot and decides not to, resulting in no attempt occurring in that attack.

              2. The Suspended One
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 4 days ago

                Big chance: A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score, usually in a one on one scenario or from very close range when the ball has a clear path to goal and there is low to moderate pressure on the shooter. Penalties are always considered big chances.

      3. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Because Mark Sutherns has told FPL towers to get him on 2 baps. Is that the answer you wanted to hear?

    5. Pep bites Kun

      5 years, 4 days ago

      Which tempting move this week:

      A) Mendy Jota > Pickford Maddison
      B) Bruno Jota > Greenwood Maddison

      All those crying about Salah BPS, it was more of an injustice he wasn’t getting BPS than now that he is... wind ya necks in you’re lucky he didn’t haul like he should’ve...

      Whoever you captained as an alternate is more than likely yet to play and could easily get a big score so calm down and move on in the words of Klopp haha
