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.

        Yay or nay to switching out Salah for Mane?

        1. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          100% no.

          Salah is a legit captain option this week.

        2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years

          Think I would C Salah if I owned him this week

        Massive fan of that Shelvey goal. Attackers should always put the ball in the net.

        Get Rashford or Tammy in this week? Already got Mount but no Man U

        Pope
        TAA Lunds Soy
        Alli KdB Mane Mount
        Ings Vardy Rashford/ Tammy

        button Rico Cantwell Reid

      • AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Bought Hendo+Son for -4
        Sold Sterling+Pope

        As long term move it could work. For this week it s****.

      • Londongeezaa
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        If you take away Sterling opening day 20pts against a poor West Ham, he’s level with Harry Wilson and only 4 points more than Burnley’s McNeil.

        Poor value for 11.9m

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years

          Not sure it works like that mate.
