Lundstram benched again as unchanged Sheffield United face Bournemouth

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.

    20 goals so far. Mitro on fire!

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      His level

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Surely hes above that level if hes finding it so easy

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Nope. Loads do it. He probably falls in between the leagues tbf. Again very common

          1. Greek Freak
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            11 goals in the Premier League (and in one of the worst teams for a while) is not too shabby tbf.

            There’s a genre of striker like this, isn’t there? Gayle, Rhodes, Nugent, Austin etc etc... Boss the Championship, not quite Premier League

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Yeah mate. Gayle is a great example too

        4 years, 8 months ago

        Benteke is better than Mitrovic.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah and every player has been yellow carded

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      Surely Wed 19th Feb makes sense? 10 days away!

      1. Nightcrawler

          Nah. They would rest vs Leicester.

        3 games in 7/8 days not great either.

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          They’ll have that pretty much anywhere it’s put won’t they? Or Tuesday 18th

          1. El Presidente
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, but if its at the end of the season is a lot less critical... for both teams

      3. Niho992
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Possible

      4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes....I see hope and the end of a dark tunnel. Tuesday 18th is perfect for the rearranged game for all concerned.....I'm a believer

      5. El Presidente
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Doesnt look likely to me... if that happens there will be massive rotation for sure.

      6. Don Van Vliet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        What's the issue with rearranging the game for any day towards the end of the coming week? Really?

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

          Normally you don’t just come back from holiday and start a game the next day

    5. Niho992
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I remember that City-Stoke played in 2016/17 season in same time as CL game. It was tuesday i think. So it s possible.

        He will never ignore the weather forecast again!

      2. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years

        He might still be OK if rearranged game happens on or before 22nd Feb

        1. Bobby Digital

      2. Rolls-Royce

        Richarlison, Leicester boys

        1. sandman58
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Which Leicester player?

          1. emodabi
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Barnes looks sharp and use the extra fund somewhere else. But after MCI game I guess

      3. Niho992
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Not Richarlison.

        1. sandman58
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Why not Richarlison?

          1. Bushwhacker

            Tough fixtures. Everton.

    8. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Got Lundstram (SV 4.5), Williams (SV 4.0) and Reid (SV 3.9)

      0.2ITB.

      Keep Lundstram for now and do Williams to Lascelles for free?

    9. Aftermath
      • 9 Years

      Maddison and Hayden coming in and Salah vc. Could be some points, hope hayden one of his handful returns each year this week

      Just back from dinner. Lund coming in to score the winner. What a suprise. Did Lund and Vardy to Aguero and Robertson for -4. Guess Robertson red card up next.

      1. kamdaraji
        • 15 Years

        No Vardy hat trick up next

      Do we know how long did it take them to announce postponement date in 2014? (Bottomed)

          City Sunderland was called off on the 12th, with this tweet listing the new fixtures on the 14th

          https://twitter.com/FantasyEagles/status/444484984234311680?s=19

          Can't find any official dates on it though but doesn't change anything - nowt we can do now but wait and see,no point overthinking it.

        Man Utd (when they had the bomb alert) was a couple of days.
        Last season, the City/Everton fixture got announced 10 days before it was as played.
        Then there’s the FA Cup game with Tranmere this season, got sorted very quickly.

        Yup

        Same. Chelsea in the CL. Looking forward to that. Been a while since Bayern played Chelsea in a competitive fixture.

        1. Bavarian

          Indeed

    13. diesel001

      Oscars tonight.

      Hope Joker wins Best Picture.

      Too many rubbish movies winning recently, IMO. Too much focus on artistic cinema and the moral of the story in recent times. Was better when movies that were hugely successful at the box office won. The fact that the Academy were considering a 'Best Popular Film' Award shows how they have moved away from allowing successful movies to win.

      1. Niho992
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Not chance Joker can win it.

        Parasite or 1917.

        Joker is bit overrated. Great acting by Phoenix but movie is average tbf

        1. diesel001
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          1917 was boring. Another nomination just because of who the director is and the cinematography (all the 'one shot' crap). Haven't seen Parasite. The Irishman was also drawn out.

          1. Niho992
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Yup boring but still better than Joker.

            Parasite is way better than both. Also Knives Out is fantastic movie too

        2. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          This.

          1917 will win. It's an oscar voters wet dream.

          Joaquin very good as Joker but movie was overrated.

        Why do you/others care so much what some faceless luvvies think was the best film/actor/whatever this year? Have always found fascination with award shows bizarre.

      3. Amey
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Joker is excellent movie
        Not Oscar winning level though. Just my opinion.

      4. Don Van Vliet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It will be a disservice to film making if Joker wins Best Picture.

        Hoping The Lighthouse grabs some awards.

          Creepy film. Admired it . But couldn't wait for it to end. Which I guess is a complement

        They should done a limited release of a super cut of Chernobyl, would have been a worthy winner of every category!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Imo a perfect series

      6. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Joker is not a good film even though I agree Phoenix made a good fist of it. Its childish and exploitative
        Imo.

      7. Bushwhacker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Parasite or 1917. Joker doesn’t come close.

      8. potatoace

        Uncut jems is a masterpiece.
        Won't win a single thing.

        1. kamdaraji
          • 15 Years

          sell

        2. Holmes
          • 11 Years

          Keep for now, Fernandez might get injured or suspended

          Keep
          Bare in mind he's a 4.0 defender
          On that basis why on earth would u sell?
          He surely has earned his place back after today also

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Why? You just bought an expensive midfielder, why would you start a defender OOP?

            1. sandman58
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Because he scores goals...thats why

        I'm sure this has been covered so apologies in advance.
        With the postponement does it mean city assets blank?
        Or does it depend on postponement date (and potentially a DGW)

          Need to play in this GW or it's autosubs.

          Yes and yes unless the rearranged game happens within GW 26

              They played Friday/Sunday over Christmas. It’s doable. The points valid regardless. There’s time to arrange and play it w/c 17th Feb.

              Some people are proper tetchy on here at the moment.

        The Lord gave us Sunday as the day of rest. Little did we know it would be Kun and co who would get the rest. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Would be a cardinal sin for Wilder not to start the Lord against Brighton.

        I have exact money to do Lundstrum to Baldock or Stevens, should I do it?
        Opinions please.

        1. kamdaraji
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          yeah do it

        2. Holmes
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Nope, may as well keep him for now. Do that after couple of weeks

          1. rokonto
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I won't have the money as the latter 2 may rise and Lord maight fall?

        3. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 6 Years

          do you have enough players for 28?

          1. rokonto
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Yes

      9. Manani
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        that wilder comment soundsa bit cryptic. does it mean Lund will start or not?

        1. Greek Freak
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Who knows - personally I'm taking it to mean he did a good job in his current role and will remain an impact sub for now.

          Nah he is just bigging him up to make him feel wanted

        Aguero owners are u selling for Jimenez ?

        Even if City doesnt play this GW?

          Looking at Aubameyang with Arsenal's sea of green.

        2. Marty McFly
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Tough one. I’m undecided yet. I think I prefer Grealish > Traore at the moment. Will probably be back and forth over the next week or so.

        3. 7rjngs lollygagger
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          That’s the plan

          Though if it’s rearranged for 29 then I might just hold and play fodder in 28. But that’s a huge gamble with the risk there is rotation in 27 in between CL and cup final as well as in 29.

      11. HellasLEAF
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Pardon my ignorance here but any City Captainers (Aguero/KDB/etc) it falls to the vice captain and the fixture itself? Is it just a case of if you have any CIty/Westham players you are SOL?

          • 15 Years

          If no game, vc is used.

        2. Greek Freak
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Don't know what SOL means but you get 0 from captain and vice-captain if they're from the same fixture and it gets postponed. It's why I always VC from a different match (unless in a DGW).

            S*** out of luck?

        3. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Erm... struggling to understand what you are saying. But depends who your VC is.

      12. SAUCY SALAH

        So, how many more winners off the bench until Lundstram is first choice again do we think?

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          He was awful bar the goal IMO.
          Lost the possession few times. Looked off the pace too. I don't expect him to win it back soon. We're forgetting there is Besic too to compete for the same spot

            Hi Amey. Does the city blank help or harm your cup final ??

            1. Amey
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Nope
              Same players for us.
              It's basically his:
              Auba Traore Robbo +4
              Against my:
              Vardy Son VVD Lascells

              1. 7rjngs lollygagger
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Obvs a lot on the Arsenal game but Sonny and Vardy are a couple of powerful cards you have to play

                1. Amey
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Yep.
                  Hopefully Toon show up a fight against Arsenal. Sonny & Vardy 10+ needed too

                  1. The Big Fella

                        Nice! You reached the final. Who are you against? How do you see the information for the Cup?

                          Search for the ffs cup article. I'm against philaman. He's a legend 😀

            How good was he? Ok no more I’d say.

            It’s possible I suppose as I thought SU were really quite dim last week without him and they aren’t exactly an exciting attack generally.

      13. kamdaraji
        • 15 Years

        wilder lundstram. If u got rid of him on wc couldn't of wished for wilder luck

      14. el polako

        Lundy in for KDB, lets hope City wont play inside this GW.

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          IF salah misses his game too, I'd hope for the same. Even though I have KDB

        2. Bobby Digital
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Fingers crossed

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          They won't.

          My luck ain't that good.

      15. Ci Siamo
        • 9 Years

        Any rumours on when the City fixture gets rearranged?

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          29 is everyone here guessing.
          I'm hopeful it goes in this GW only. Don't want any more DGW's

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I want my Lundstram pts.. Boohoo.

        4 years, 8 months ago

        I don't get most of the discussions - I remember matches being cancelled due to snow( in other leagues probably) and happening next day or so. What makes people so sure that M.City cannot play this Tue/Wed? They don't have a match and it'll make sense (to me) as they will still get a break

        1. kamdaraji
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          won't happen sorry

          1. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I know - that's what I read but I don't really get why

        2. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Cos most of these rich footballers who get paid millions have holidays booked which would cost them money to rearrange.

          1. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            hehe fair enough 😉

        3. Niho992
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I cant remember

        4. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          because it's winter break and plans would have been made

          imagine having the to tell Mrs Aguero the trip to the Blackpool lights is off

          1. Pieterke30
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Exactly. Not a problem.

          2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            The winter break officially ends on the 17th. City could play on the 18th giving them 6 days ahead of the Leicester game....

            1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years

              • 15 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Have you seen Man City reserves

                • 9 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Yep - playing them lots keeps everyone happy

            2. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
              • 9 Years

              bald fraud can do that no matter what

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I couldn't agree more. It's pathetic the amount of pampering the players receive.

            Anyone with any passion would want to play the game as soon as.

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Anyone with Lundstram as first sub would disagree

              1. SAUCY SALAH
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Not if they believed their City assets would score more...

            2. SAUCY SALAH
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Amen

            3. Baps hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              It is not the players. You really think only they have to do their job during match?!?

          6. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            PL wrote that winter break should be respected and ko competitive or friendlies should be played. Arranging a PL match takes more time now than 50 years ago. It involves police and safety arrangement, personnel is probably on leave etc. And don't forget TV schedule.

            1. Don Van Vliet
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              It's not as much of a logistical headache as you're suggesting. The problem is that the actual football is ancillary to money generation and BAU; the game continues to lose its way through a blinkered pursuit and prioritisation of financial gain, and wholesale commodification of the sport at all costs.

        5. My heart goes Salalalalah

          Lundstram rising tonight?

          1. Niho992
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Dark Lundy rises

          2. Bobby Digital
            • 7 Years

            - 60%

            Hopefully!

          Aguerrrrrrrrrrrro

            Woohoo!

          2. Fred54
            • 9 Years

            Not today, not next weekend, maybe in 3 weeks time...

        7. The Big Fella
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Does Lascelles tend to pop up for up a goal? Got him on the bench coming off for Aguero and Arsenal's defence is shite

          1. Party time
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I just got back from the future. He scored 2 goals

              1. The Big Fella
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Can you go back and check how many BAPs he gets for that and also if they get a CS?
