Starts for Lundstram and £4.0m defender in Sunday’s only Premier League game

The penultimate match of Gameweek 13 takes place at Bramall Lane, with Sheffield United entertaining Manchester United.

Kick-off in Sunday’s only Premier League fixture is at 16:30 GMT.

There is plenty of interest for Fantasy Premier League managers in this game, with David de Gea (£5.5m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m), Harry Maguire (£5.3m), Daniel James (£6.2m), Marcus Rashford (£8.6m) and John Lundstram (£4.9m) all sitting in more than 10% of FPL squads.

All six of those players start in South Yorkshire today.

Anthony Martial (£7.8m), who is on the cusp of a double-digit ownership himself, also features in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting XI.

The Norwegian head coach has made just one alteration to his Gameweek 12 line-up, with Phil Jones (£4.8m) replacing the injured Scott McTominay (£5.1m).

Whether Jones is a like-for-like swap for the Scot in midfield or joins a back three remains to be seen, with Solskjaer saying ahead of kick-off:

Phil has been training well. He’s got experience of playing both central midfield and at the back. When you show the attitude he’s shown in training, it’s time for him to get a chance. Marcos [Rojo] is injured, Axel [Tuanzebe] isn’t really ready to come in so it was an easy option.

Brandon Williams (£4.0m) gets his second successive start at left-back (or wing-back), keeping the benched Ashley Young (£5.4m) out of the side despite the latter’s return from suspension.

Solskjaer said of that decision:

Brandon’s played really well in every game he’s played. I didn’t find any reason to leave him out. It’s a testing stadium for him to play at so it’s a good opportunity to show his mentality because his temperament is one of his strengths.

Chris Wilder makes two enforced changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur a fortnight ago.

Dean Henderson (£4.7m) – owned by just over 5% of Fantasy managers – is ineligible to face his parent club, so Simon Moore (£4.4m) deputises for the on-loan goalkeeper for the hosts.

The hitherto ever-present John Egan (£4.5m) hasn’t recovered from a calf injury so Phil Jagielka (£4.2m) gets his first Premier League start of the season.

Lys Mousset (£5.0m) and David McGoldrick (£5.4m) again start up front.

The Blades have kept clean sheets in three of their six home fixtures in 2019/20 and conceded just four goals in those half-dozen matches.

Solskjaer’s troops have won just one of their six away games this season and are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road.

Three of the Red Devils’ five away goals came at Carrow Road in Gameweek 10.

Sheffield United XI: Moore, O’Connell, Jagielka, Basham, Stevens, Baldock, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Mousset, McGoldrick.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Jones, Maguire, Lindelof, Williams, Pereira, Fred, James, Martial, Rashford.

    Thank you lundy and Rashyyyyyy ..

  2. Fpl Richie

    Martial still a reasonable bet going forward?
    My plan was to keep him and upgrade Mount to Pulisic, but I could keep Mount and get Martial for Son for -4.
    Guess I should take an fpl nap.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'd keep for villa at home for sure

    2. Miniboss
      • 5 Years

      I’m in same situation and will wait after the Villa game.

    3. DannyD

      I got rid for Son

    48 points :/ Please McGinn and Mings do something tomorrow, think I'm the only one who still owns them

  4. FPL FREAK

    So Williams is nailed on for Man utd now...????

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      After his performance, bar one hopeful swing of his right foot, wouldn’t be so sure.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Won't go close

    3. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Poor if not considering the goal

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Probably as nailed as when you asked the same thing three posts ago.

  5. Win'dian
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    3 goals in 7 minutes, attackers going for everything, Sheffield can't get out of their half and master tactician makes a defensive change to disrupt it all. Equalizer could still have been scored with Martial on but anyone could see how it changed the tempo.
    Mourinho would have been murdered for this.

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      It was a terrible 80 minutes of football form united, 3 bits of quality 3 goals but they were second best today, pressure should be right back on Ole

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Him bringing in Tuanzebe was not a bad decision and Martial was terrible.

      1. Win'dian
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        It was more about disrupting the tempo united were playing. Why would you change anything that finally started working excellently?

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          They made changes also and brought in fresh legs. They were going to throw the kitchen sink at them and you would have preferred that he left Martial on ? I don’t agree anyway.

    Hi guys I’m using this account as a back up because I haven’t been able to log into my previous account Athletic Nasherbo. I was a member so I would really like to be able to access that account however I used the wrong email hence I cannot recover my password.

    Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Thank you very much!

        Much appreciated x

  7. nibirislam17
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which 1 to bring in for nxt 4 gameweek?
    A) Rashford (AVL, TOT, mancity, EVE)
    B) Ings (WAT, NOR, newc, WHM)
    Leaning towards B. Got a feeling there will be lot of goals in those games for saints. Thoughts?

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B easily. Great value for money if not injured. Probably back on pens.

      1. nibirislam17
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed

  8. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Do you think Mousset injury is keeping him off at least one gw?

    Probably my question is atm that should I do A at all (have exact money so I need to do today)?

    A) Mount > Puli
    B) Greenwood > Mousset

    Pope (Button)
    Taa Aurier Lund Janmaat/Rico
    Salah Mane Kdb Mount* (Dendo)
    Vardy Abraham (Greenwood)

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Cramp

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Not expert on cramps. Would you expect him to back next week and do B over A?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Neither am I but Greenwood or McBurnie might get a chance

    2. nibirislam17
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't sell mount. Since he didn't start yesterday means he will play most of the matches in nxt 4 gameweek. Give him next 2 gameweeks.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I like Mount but I really like Puli and I am not sure what else would I do to get him.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That's not really how it works.

        1. BobbyDoesNotLook
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          If Mount does not play 10 role in the following games and continue not taking crossing set plays I think it is quite easy move to Puli. How do you see Mount's role?

  9. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    McGinn to:
    A) Pulisic (Got Mount and Tammy)
    B) Martial

      its hard to decide, but Rashford captain next week it is. My gut said it yesterday but I had my doubts. Locked in now.. over:
      Mane, KDB, Vardy and Tammy

    4. EL tridente
      • 6 Years

      Worth doing Connolly to Ings for -4

    5. Team Cruel

      Which one is more important transfer?

      A. Willems > Soy

      Best Otamendi replacement with favorable games in GW18 & GW19 ?

      Currently thinking of PVA, any better alternatives under 5.8 mil?

      1. manu4life99
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Same dilemma, considering Willems or a 2nd SHU def.

        Doherty if u can raise budget.

        Maybe kelly if he regains his place

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Went Guilbert to leave me Guaita in goal. Don’t fancy a double up.

          Check fixtures and amazing home form

    9. FOO FIGHTER

      Hoping Mousset's injury is not bad...

      1. Party time

          Should be a cramp. Nothing serious

      2. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Are we overlooking Rashford? The guy just keeps on ticking nicely..awkward price point though

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          his price point is hany imo, allows yo to upgrade to lieks of Kane or Jesus with 2 FTs or downgrade him to a Mousset or Jimmi in one. Cant really go wrong with him imo

          1. have you seen cyan

        3. OSanity
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          That's what I've been doing. Was hoping Martial would offer United coverage at a better price point, but Rashford is less injury prone, has been getting consistent returns and is more likely to get BPs. I'm trying to stay patient and give martial next week's game before I decide what to do!

      3. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        sweet massive climb, 416k to 250k only with 67 points, 67 is good but that climb is massive, wasnt expecting anywhere near that

      4. phace

        4 years, 4 months ago

        84 all out. Puts me back on top of my ML after a few abysmal weeks - don't give up.

        Anyway, any advice? Got 1FT, anything that needs addressing or save?

        GKP: Pope (McGovern)
        DEF: Aurier, Lundstram, Alexander-Arnold, Söyüncü (Pieters)
        MID: Mané, Tielemans, Son, De Bruyne (Dendoncker)
        FWD: Vardy, Abraham (Greenwood)

        TAA to Robbo maybe?

        Thinking of playing bench boost next week. Makes sense?

        Pope Button
        TAA Soy Aurier Lunds Maguire
        Son Mane Maddison Mount Cantwell*
        Tammy Vardy Maupay

        Will you be tempted to do
        A) maupay > Ings
        B) Button > Henderson

      7. FPL FREAK
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Son or Rashford.....??

        Who's more important now...??

        1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Son

      8. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I was going to save my FT, but Martial was shocking. Pulisic, Maddison, Alli are all affordable.

        Leno
        TAA Lund Soy
        Mane KDB Son Martial
        Vardy Jiminez Tammy

        Button Cantwell Rico Kelly

        1. OSanity
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I'd swap Martial for Pulisic or Maddison any day of the week.

        2. Saro0808
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Ur team looks solid,
          i would personally hold on to martial for the villa game,then shift madi as the fixtures are good for lie.
          pulisic got a couple good home games too.

      9. manu4life99
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Bought Mount for 6.0.

        Mount > Pulisic FT yay or any?

        1. Saro0808
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yay without a doubt

      10. Saro0808
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Should i take a hit for the following?

        A)Rico/Kelly to Chilwell
        B)Button/Ryan to Hendo/pope
        C)Kbd to Salah

        My Current Team

        Ryan
        Tomori Soyu Lund
