Burn benched as Brighton travel to already-relegated Sheff Utd

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

  • 2 – Antonio Rüdiger

      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

    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.

      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.

      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.

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

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

                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.

                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.

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

      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
