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.

      Through the jobcentre window

    Being a Man Utd fan today is hard but I can always comfort myself, I'm not an Arsenal fan...

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

      They're getting better. Even Fred!

  6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Moyes and Wenger new ideas may freshen up Everton and Arsenal

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Silva to Arsenal. Richarlison needs a new club.

  7. GreennRed

    What chance of Viera getting the Arsenal job?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      They should get Benitez imo. Someone to instill so semblance of defensive stability

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

        Agree. They need someone who will impose minimum defensive standards on the players. Shape up or ship out.

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

        Agreed. But I saw an article linking Viera. I doubt Viera is experienced enough at a deceng level to get ut.

  8. Rainer

    Last minute, need a goal, Auba out on the wing crossing it in...

    Fully deserved, Brighton!

  12. Dont give a fuchs

    No wonder Wenger.did a good job at arsenal. Finishing top 4 every year

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

      Wenger at Arsenal.

      - First 7 years: Ahead of the curve
      - Next 7 years: On the curve
      - Final 7 years: Behind the curve

      Arsenal have not been able to arrest the slide from Wenger's final 7 years in charge.

        I don't know why these teams that are recovering from a whole era of the club coming to an end imagine they are going to fix their problems in 18 months. United could have hung onto Moyes and they'd almost certainly be in better shape by now and a few hundred million better off

  16. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Arsenal are as bad as Bellerin's haircut.

  17. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Full time whistle went, Freddie thought he was an unused sub. Just sat there.

  18. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Arsenal are in big trouble.

  19. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic or Maddison and Auba to Dele and Tammy or Rashford??

  20. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Not only a bad week but a whole day to stew till the next one

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

    Smart move by Brighton to already give Potter a new contract, very good manager whose style would actually suit bigger clubs.

  22. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What a good buy Mooy was

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      *loan, apparently

  23. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Newcastle are 5 points from relegation and 4 points from qualifying for Europe.

    Crazy times.

  24. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is Tomori done or was he just rested?

    1. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I’d like to know this

    2. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Must have been rested, but I dint think anyone can say for sure

    3. Oscar Slater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Probably rested but I suspect he's going to get his fair share of that from now on.

  25. Mortal.Swinbat
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with Salah chaps?

    I have him and Mane + 2 free transfers

    1. Oscar Slater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Surely worth keeping for the next two game weeks?

  26. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Are they going to sack Freddie now?

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

      They can get Moyes if they're quick.

  27. arkom
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Play Soy or Cantwell?

  28. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    To everyone here whining about benched points...
    My bench of Button Tomori Martial Saka scored 0 points. Basically I'm going to be fkd over by Christmas rotation

  29. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Getting Mount for Martial off the bench. Was supposed to get Chambers for Chilwell instead I'm getting Aurier who's my 3rd sub. My first bit of luck for the season and it's ALREADY GAMEWEEK FIFTEEN!

  30. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Last piece of the puzzle guys.
    Play Mads or Soy?

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

      Mads, Villa good going forward, especially at home.
