While Manchester City v West Ham United has fallen victim to Storm Ciara, the Premier League’s other scheduled game on Sunday goes ahead.
Barring any late developments, Sheffield United v Bournemouth will kick off at 14:00 GMT.
The Blades are unchanged from Gameweek 25, meaning that John Lundstram (£5.0m) is benched for the third league match in a row.
Lundstram was the most-sold ‘defender’ of Gameweek 26 but is still in 43.3% of Fantasy Premier League teams overall and almost two-thirds of all top 10k squads, although his effective ownership statistics suggest a significant number of those benched him ahead of Saturday’s deadline.
Of course, with City v West Ham now postponed and not guaranteed to be rescheduled within the winter break, Lundstram could well be auto-subbed into many of those sides.
Sander Berge (£5.0m) is handed his Bramall Lane debut, while Billy Sharp (£5.6m) makes his third successive start up front.
Dean Henderson (£5.1m), George Baldock (£5.1m) and John Fleck (£5.1m), who each enjoy double-digit ownerships in the top 10,000, all start.
Eddie Howe has made only one change to his Bournemouth side, with Andrew Surman (£4.7m) replacing the suspended Jefferson Lerma (£4.8m) in midfield.
Josh King (£6.1m) and Jack Stacey (£4.3m) are among the substitutes after six-week absences.
Diego Rico (£4.3m), who still sits in almost 25% of teams within the top 10k, also starts at left-back.
The Cherries have failed to score in four of their last five away matches, while Sheffield United have kept five shut-outs on home soil this season.
Sheffield United XI: Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Berge, Baldock; McBurnie, Sharp.
Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale; Smith, Francis, Ake, Rico; Surman, Gosling, Billing; H Wilson, C Wilson, Fraser.
4 years, 2 months agoLundstram 1st on my bench.
Kiko Fermenia was my starter.
Was going to do Lord to Egan too on Friday but decided to save FT due to extra long GW.
Got to wait another 8 days for those sweet Lundstram points off my bench, though!
