Seven minutes of madness mars latest superb Sheffield United display

Sheffield United 3-3 Manchester United

  • Goals: John Fleck (£4.8m, Lys Mousset (£5.0m), Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) | Brandon Williams (£4.0m), Mason Greenwood (£4.3m), Marcus Rashford (£8.6m)
  • Assists: John Lundstram (£4.9m), Fleck, Callum Robinson (£5.3m) | Rashford, Daniel James (£6.2m)
  • Bonus: Fleck x3, Rashford x2, Mousset x1

Not many punters would have had a three-all draw on their betting coupons ahead of Sunday’s clash at Bramall Lane.

A six-goal thriller looked just as unlikely 20 minutes from time in South Yorkshire, with Sheffield United 2-0 up and coasting to a fairly comfortable victory.

Three Manchester United goals in seven minutes turned the game on its head but a late Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) strike salvaged a point for the hosts, who would have been left with mixed feelings despite defeat being avoided.

Make no mistake, this was no end-to-end classic.

The Blades were by some distance the better side for three-quarters of this full-blooded contest, with Chris Wilder’s troops proving yet again that they are a force to be reckoned with at this level.

Sheffield United have recently been elevated to a “three” on the FPL Fixture Difficulty Rating scale and they are no longer the enticing deep-blue prospect they once were for opponents on our Season Ticker, either – finally, a fair reflection of just how good they are and how few times they have been beaten in the Premier League, with the top-flight newbies still yet to be defeated by more than a single-goal margin.

The opening 45 minutes at Bramall Lane was the Blades as we have seen them many times already in 2019/20, going toe to toe with a “bigger” or more established club (the recent home games against Arsenal and Burnley being good examples) and besting them.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side had only one shot before the break as Sheffield United swarmed over their visitors, pressing them aggressively and denying them any space in attack.

This wasn’t just about their impressive defence, either: David de Gea (£5.5m) had to perform heroics to keep out a John Lundstram (£4.9m) strike and a David McGoldrick (£5.4m) header before John Fleck (£4.8m) fortuitously broke the deadlock on 18 minutes, with de Gea having again superbly denied Lundstram only to see the ball bobble in off the Scotland international’s shin.

The hosts’ dominance wasn’t rewarded further until after the break, with Lys Mousset (£5.0m) continuing his excellent form – six attacking returns in five Gameweeks – when curling past de Gea from a fine Fleck pass.

While Wilder’s side beat a retreat after doubling their lead, Simon Moore (£4.4m) was seldom threatened on his first-ever Premier League start until the visitors scored out of the blue in the 71st minute.

Seeing the Blades look so comfortable on and off the ball begged the question of why more of their players aren’t more widely owned in FPL: of the 14 Sheffield United assets to feature on Sunday, only Lundstram was owned by more than 3% of Fantasy managers – although Dean Henderson (£4.7m), who sits in 5.4% of FPL squads, was ineligible for this clash with his parent club.

Perhaps the favourable fixture swing – Wilder’s side are top of our Season Ticker for the next six Gameweeks – will remedy that.

Mousset is certainly presenting a convincing case as a budget third striking option, although the former Bournemouth forward did limp off in the second half and his overall fitness is perhaps a concern given that Wilder’s side now faces three league games in eight days at the beginning of December.

Lundstram continues to pose a goal threat and on another day would have been on the scoresheet himself, while security of starts and the odd attacking return makes Fleck arguably the most attractive sub-£5.0m midfielder on the market at present.

Even the unavailability of Henderson and John Egan (£4.5m) through ineligibility and injury didn’t have too much of a disruptive influence on a backline that had previously been unchanged all season, with Phil Jagielka (£4.2m) not troubled at centre-half until late on.

The big disclaimer is, of course, the Red Devils’ three-goal salvo in the final 20 minutes.

Brandon Williams‘ (£4.0m) well-hit strike only came about after the Blades had comfortably headed out a Daniel James (£6.2m) cross from the right and the fact that Solskjaer’s side had to rely on a rookie full-back to force their way back into the game said much about how quiet the hosts had kept the likes of Anthony Martial (£7.8m).

What followed was very un-Sheffield United-like, with the Blades capitulating and conceding two admittedly well-worked goals in the following seven minutes.

Perhaps it was the shock of conceding in the first place, fatigue setting in after 70 minutes of energy-sapping work or uncertainty in Egan’s absence (Jagielka a tad flat-footed for the visitors’ second goal) but whatever the reason, the Blades’ backline looked momentarily mortal.

Wilder said afterwards:

Can we forget about that little ten-minute period, please?! We just dropped off a touch, energy levels. Their first goal has come out of nothing from our point of view.

The old ‘2-0 is a dangerous scoreline’ quickly changed into ‘oops, we’re 3-2 down’.

And you’ve got to give them credit, just as much as we fought our way back at the death to get ourselves something out of the game.

It just switched a light when they got back into it at 2-1.

We can surely forgive them this brief lapse after their heroics of recent months – this was, quite remarkably, the first time they had conceded more than one goal in a league match since August.

With Henderson and possibly Egan back for the trip to Molineux, there is no reason to think that Raul Jimenez (£7.4m) and co. won’t have their work cut out in Gameweek 14.

Whether Mousset will be present in the West Midlands remains to be seen, with the Blades initially reporting a hamstring injury and Wilder later saying of his in-form striker:

He’s alright, he’s going to have a check and a scan.

Lundstram picked up his fourth yellow card of the season, meanwhile, so is now only a booking away from a one-match ban.

As for Solskjaer’s side, the final-quarter blitz masked another below-average away display.

A fortnight ago we wrote about United’s Jekyll-and-Hyde performances, with their most dismal displays reserved for recent away games against West Ham, Newcastle and Bournemouth.

This fixture was heading the same way for 70-odd minutes, with Martial in particular anonymous and verging on disinterested.

Marcus Rashford (£8.6m) and James had been similarly feeble up until United went 2-0 down, wasting what few positive situations the visitors had, but at least deserve credit for their roles in the comeback.

Even when Martial is not on his A-game, his presence allows for Rashford to prosper as a goal-facing winger rather than a back-to-goal target-man.

The England winger had fired over after some neat footwork just after half-time and it was he who provided the sumptuous cross for substitute Mason Greenwood (£4.3m) to tap in the Red Devils’ equaliser, before finishing off a neat United move involving Martial and James to put the visitors briefly ahead.

Asked why his side had taken a while to get going, Solksjaer said afterwards:

Very poor performance. We did play badly first half, we didn’t win any challenges, we didn’t stick to what we had planned.

Even though the big part of this game is very negative and you’re disappointed with it, to have the character to stick in and turn it round… was great. We’re disappointed that we don’t hold the lead.

I could have changed 11 players at half-time, apart from the keeper ‘cos David [de Gea] kept us in it.

Solskjaer added to MUTV:

It’s not something you can put your finger on here and now, but Sheffield United looked like they wanted it more than us and believed more in what they did than us.

Sometimes it’s little margins here and there but we never had a shot on target, or maybe had one, in the first half but that’s not acceptable and not good enough.

But the response after they went 2-0 up was fantastic.

Solskjaer has to perhaps take some flak for his initial set-up, with Phil Jones (£4.8m) drafted in and United reverting to a 3-4-3.

The much-maligned centre-half was culpable for the Blades’ opener and was then hauled off at the interval, with United looking better in a 4-2-3-1 after the break.

The Norwegian said:

We’re light in midfield because Scott [McTominay] is away. We could have started with Jones in [midfield] because he’s played there for England, but we decided at Sheffield United – we’ve played well in a back three this season, Chelsea away, Liverpool at home – we thought that was a good way.

Sometimes tactics go out of the window and today it was all about the desire, first half.

This was another away game without a clean sheet for the Red Devils, with only Spurs having recorded fewer shut-outs in the Premier League this season.

While interest in United’s defensive assets will be modest, there was a second successive start at left-back/wing-back for the £4.0m-rated Williams – despite Ashley Young‘s (£5.4m) return from suspension.

It’ll be interesting to monitor that situation now that Luke Shaw (£5.4m) is nearing full fitness, given how much we Fantasy managers have come to cherish a starting budget defender.

As for United’s other assets, they at least enjoy home comforts in three of the next four Gameweeks and those FPL bosses who own Rashford, Martial et al will be hopeful that the Red Devils’ decent home form can justify investment after some mostly iffy displays on the road.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Moore; Basham (Robinson 83′), Jagielka, O’Connell; Baldock, Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck, Stevens; McGoldrick (Sharp 78′), Mousset (McBurnie 68′).

Manchester United XI (3-4-3): De Gea; Lindelof, Maguire, Jones (Lingard 46′); Wan-Bissaka, Pereira (Greenwood 73′), Fred, Williams; James, Martial (Tuanzebe 85′), Rashford.

    This time around i have Salah KDB Mane & still Looking at Son. Will give 2 gw's for him to show that Spurs can play attacking football under Judas.

    Exciting times now that GW comes after previous one so closely 😀

  9. Jebiga
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is Mount to Pulisic worth -4 ?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      No

    2. IRBOX ⚽

    A) Sterling & Martial to De Bruyne & Son?
    B) Sterling & McGinn to De Bruyne and Pulisic or Lucas?
    C) Other?

    Have Tammy & Tomori already from Chelsea. I'm deciding to keep Salah, I think this home game vs Brighton will be him back to form

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Now I'm Panicking

    Mount Son KDB Tielmans Mane
    Vardy Abraham Ings

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Brutal - Tielemans probably

    2. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      always been your worst player so lets be honest

      Bench Ings

      1. villian-ty
        • 14 Years

        i only just brought him in

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Why did you do that? Never make a transfer that doesn't result in you changing your starting XI that week. It can wait. The only other reason is if you have absolutely nothing to do and will burn a FT.

    3. Champione
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tielemans

    Mount, Mane, KDB, Salah, Cantwell.
    Abraham, Vardy.
    Button, Janmaat, A. Smith, Wickham.
    1ft. 0.0m ITB. Still have WC.

    1. Save FT. Possible move to double Liv defence next GW with Son in for Salah.
    2. KDB-> Son (Got KDB @ 9.5m though + maybe he is a season keeper).
    3. Other move(s).

  13. IRBOX ⚽

    1. faver

      Gr8 hard to tell if that was worth -8.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        At the point where I’m losing interest this season so having some fun.. if going without Raheem, might as well spread the funds ASAP

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Sterling, Mount, Jota > Martial, Pulisic, Vardy

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

            Imho i dont see what others are making a fuss over, yeah its a -8 but players need to have a pair of balls onstead of being sissy boiz too scared for a hit.
            Youve taken out NON performers for top current performers, sure martial is to be monitored but overall great picks mate.

            Thoughts on Pulisic, any concerns from you about him being rotated?

            Vardy is a word that rhymes with bunt and I’ll never own him on principle

        2. faver
          • 8 Years

          Had the same issue. Transferred CHO and Pukki for -4 to Grealish and Wesley and captained 1st one. Got fpl chills for the 1st time in months. You have any spare $ itb?

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Looks like you’ve other issues but should be good for the next GW if salah plays

      What was the -8?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Issues? Really don’t see anything there

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Mendy - shite fixtures, not nailed

          Martial - ok for villa then two tough fixtures

          Salah - not fit not performing

          Pope - 1 more good fixture

          Nothing a couple of transfers can’t fix but all coming at the same time

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Counter arguments for all of those. Cheers for the input though

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years

      Why did it take a -8?!

      What were the moves mate?

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Just saw above. Can see rationale but obv risky especially Martial in for a hit considering how up and down I expect his returns will be

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good. I feel for you Irbox - you are a more disciplined player and usually your approach works. Did Mount to Pulisic myself (West ham are there for the taking).
      What's your view on Martial going forward? I know many are dumping for spurs mids etc.

  14. Carlos3
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Hey..

    Is it possible to see the full participant number, for the global leagues?

    I'm 161 in Denmark and 34.757 in Overall - I guess it's quite OK, but would be like to know full participant number..

  15. Jebiga
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    So bunch of peoples having Maddison and Pulisic instead of Tielmans and Mount. Are they that much superior ? Actualy i dont thinks so, its equal for me

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      Not for me

    2. Free Hat
      • 5 Years

      It will vary from week to week in my opinion

    Pope, McGovern
    TAA,Soyuncu,Tomori,Lundy,Rico

    C) save

    Need some opinions here. Ne pressing issues, team doing very boringly okay-ish so far. Wildcard still intact.

    1. Hy liverpool

    Which one would you pick as long term solution - Gazza or Hendo?

    1. GreennRed

      4 years, 4 months ago

      Gazzaniga. Assuming you have Lundstram?

      1. Arteta

        I do and he's starting week in week out.

    2. Champione
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      have a feeling Sheffield United might struggle to keep many CS going forward. Gazza for me

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Gazza as i wouldn't double up on shieffeld defence long term..

  18. Champione
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you bring in first?

    A) Pulisic
    B) KDB

    Will probably do Martial > the other one next GW

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      De Bruyne for sure.

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A

    4. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A. Chelsea have West Ham this week, best fixture for potential attacking returns

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Pains me to say I agree 🙁

        1. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          It was painful for me to admit too as a fellow Hammers fan

    5. istanbul05
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A would be the priority for me

    6. Champione
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers guys. Both great options I guess but hard to look past Chelsea assets this week

    7. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      The player of the season KDB afcourse

  19. Carlton_Goal

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows which GW you get your 2nd wildcard? Need to know when to use my first one by

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      GW21

      1. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years

        Thank you 🙂

    Auba Hayden to Son Mousset with 2 FTs would give me team below - go for it?

    Pope
    TAA/Soy/Tomori
    Mane/KDB/Son/Maddison/Pulisic
    Vardy/Abraham

    Button/Mousset/Lund/Rico

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      if Mousset is fit yes

  21. jayzico
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Forget the cash.

    Which Leicester defender? And why?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pereira but there's fun in every bracket

      1. jayzico
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yup. I can get either:

        Pereira + Pulisic
        or
        Soy + Son

    2. Champione
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell for me. Always dangerous going forward. Will get a fair amount of attacking points

      1. jayzico
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah he does like going forward that's for sure

    3. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Chilwell.

    2. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      WHy? Save the bench boost for a dgw dude

  26. james 101
    • 12 Years

    GTG / anything you’d take a hit for?

    Pope
    TAA Lunds Robbo
    Mane Son Pulisic Maddison
    Vardy Abraham Jimmy

    (Button. Tielemans. Rico. Kelly).

    (£0.9m in the bank).

    1. Eat my goal!

      Nope - your move Kdb > son?

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yes mate.

        Feels right until City sort their sht out.

    2. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Seems a waste having tielemans.

    3. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tielmans on the bench !!!!????
      Well im pretty much shure that you will bench 10+ points with Tielmans

  27. Typo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mount to Pulisic for free worth it? Do it befor Puli rise and Mount drop, or wait for CL?. Prob smart to wait I guess.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If you can afford to wait then hold til after Valencia game

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Def wait. I’m also considering for free but not worth 0.2m of TV for Pulisic to then play 90+ in CL with Mount well rested

    Best Premier league team so far... Not fantasy..

    Ryan
    Pereira O’Connell Söyüncü Robertson
    Fabinho
    DeBruyne Maddison
    Abraham Vardy Mane

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Think I'd agree with that. Chilwell has been fantastic too.

      Dare I say Willian?

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        willian almost, but another thought was Ndidi he’s been pretty awesome for Leicester, just think Fabinho edges that role

  29. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Mount replacements for 7m?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Take your pick.

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tielemans & Zaha look good for fixtures

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I would take a punt on Wilf
