Mousset benched as Carroll gets his first league start of the season

Gameweek 15 comes to a head this evening with matches at Bramall Lane and the Emirates.

Sheffield United take on Newcastle United in the 19:30 GMT kick-off, while Arsenal v Brighton and Hove Albion gets underway at 20:15 GMT.

The headline team news from South Yorkshire sees Chris Wilder make two changes to his starting XI, as the Blades boss revisits his rotation policy up front.

Unfortunately for the most-bought Fantasy Premier League asset of this Gameweek, that means a benching for Lys Mousset (£5.1m).

David McGoldrick (£5.4m) is also among the substitutes as Billy Sharp (£5.6m) and Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) are given a chance to impress in attack.

John Lundstram (£5.1m) keeps up his ever-present record as Wilder continues to keep changes to a minimum in his defence and midfield.

Steve Bruce’s only alteration to his team also comes up front, with Andy Carroll (£5.7m) making his first league start of 2019/20 at the expense of Joelinton (£5.4m).

This fixtures sees the joint-first and third-highest-scoring sub-£5.0m FPL defenders go head to head, as George Baldock (£4.7m) comes up against Jetro Willems (£4.6m).

Eight points or more for Lundstram would put him back to the top of the FPL points-scoring list outright among players in his position.

Freddie Ljungberg has made three changes from Gameweek 14, with Hector Bellerin (£5.4m), Sokratis (£4.9m) and Lucas Torreira (£4.7m) replacing Calum Chambers (£4.4m), Shkodran Mustafi (£5.2m) and Matteo Guendouzi (£4.6m).

Brighton’s team shows two alterations, with Neal Maupay (£5.8m) and Steven Alzate (£4.5m) in for Yves Bissouma (£5.0m) and Martin Montoya (£4.5m).

Just over 100,000 FPL managers bought Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) ahead of Gameweek 15.

He is also the third-most-popular captaincy option of this set of fixtures.

Sheffield United XI: Henderson, Basham, Baldock, O’Connell, Egan, Stevens, Fleck, Lundstram, Norwood, Sharp, McBurnie.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Manquillo, Clark, Fernandez, Dummett, Willems, Saint-Maximin, Hayden, Shelvey, Almiron, Carroll.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, David Luiz, Sokratis, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Willock, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Brighton XI: Ryan, Alzate, Dunk, Webster, Burn, Stephens, Propper, Gross, Mooy, Maupay, Connolly.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably just Alli.

      Maddy -> Grealish looks nice for GW18.

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Need Montoya to stay in the bench in the arsenal m Arsenal v Brighton game to get the Dendoncker points.

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Good

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Do you know what his career goal's tally is?

      1. TOPCAT1960
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Looks like 1 goal !!

      2. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        just checked wiki.. he was good in Championship.. but he looks passed now...

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Good at lower level but not up to PL. There have been plenty more similar in this respect.

    4. Yoshioka
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      To put it bluntly.

  11. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Aurier or Evans? Have Schmeichel.

    1. Am sorry to say again it�…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Schmeichel Button
        TAA Robbo Lundy Rico Reid

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Tough. Aurier

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aurier for attacking potential. Evans for cs potential.

  12. CroatianHammer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Silva has left the building... I think I have to captain Captain America now. Surely Big Dunc will be all gung-ho and leave cadges of space to exploit at the back?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I reckon they will buckle down and keep it tight. Get back to what actually made Everton successful for many years. Defensively solid and long ball football that was difficult to defend against.

      1. CroatianHammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Could be... but a team who park the bus and invite the opposition onto them also invite attack-minded midfielders to take shot after shot from distance. He's capable of those. I suppose I have a few days to decide. Alli is my next option. I do have Vardy but having had a bad Wednesday I'm wanting to gain ground on those above me rather than match them.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He’ll keep it tight.

    3. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Silva who? Captain America what? Big Dunc?

  13. JustPark

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Mousset scores that too...

    Is that two or three goals he'd have now?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      3 to be exact

  15. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Sharp is so S**** Musset would have hot hatrick by now

  16. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    Billy Shite shouldnt be anywhere near a Premier League pitch

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      could not agree more.. Championship level player

      1. TOPCAT1960
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cant see many SHU supporters on here posting to disagree

  17. J to the T
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling and Mount to KdB and Ali (-4)?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nah

  18. Gobigorgohome

    This game has written 1-0 all over it.. until Mousset comes in..

    Henderson's not going to get a single save at this rate.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That's the issue. Pope and Ryan at least offer saves and bonus. Tough call.

  20. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Double Pool fullbacks : 4pts.
    Soy and Rico on bench: 14pts

    1. fusen
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Surely you know by now that Liverpool don't keep clean sheets?

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Bin Robbo to afford Alli. Should've have gone for Kelly earlier in gw12 WC instead of last night.

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Thats cute i had Cantwell Dunk Kelly last gw on bench for whopping 22 points

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I benched Soy 3 out 4 games since gw12. Guess how much I gained from playing him.

  21. Digital-Real

    Big Dunc steps in as caretaker manager. Lord have mercy.

    1. Monkey Hanger

      Shouldn't have any problems maintaining discipline.

  22. Gaddafi
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    1) Sterling + Wilson
    2) Dilva + Aubameyang

  23. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    any Lundstram owners hoping for an own goal from him?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't mind the YC tonight.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        oooh didn't know about that

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          probably wouldn't have already removed Aurier if I'd known that 😀

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        This. Really need him 17 and 18

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Appears so after the huge sample size of one game.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Whatever happened to 'set and forget'?

  27. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Connolly pressing nearly causes an Arsenal moment.
