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.

    DCL saving my GW so far. A shoddy 15 from 4 players but 11 are from DCL!

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lord is saving mine. Ryan and Maupay 3 points between them. Lund 7 points. No Aguero, no KDB.

        Did you play Lundy?

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah. Lundy plus TAA and Robbo at the back

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Doucoure for me 😆

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      12 from 3 for me plus 1 bench point. 11 from DCL!

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      8 from Lund, Mahrez, Kun(C), LDB, Rico 😎

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      3 from 3 😀

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        onwards and upwards

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I also took an 8 point hit by the way!

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Nice. Hits paying off is the best feeling in the game IMO 😀

            1. kamdaraji
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              they didn't pay off. Cost me already 10 points lol

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Ooops

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years

          Yep
          Cheers mate

    6. KGFC
      • 7 Years

      12 from 4... Egan the saviour!

    7. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Either 28 from 4 or 12 from 2 pending on City

    8. bitm2007

      11 from one (DLC), only missed out on KDB points today.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        DCL

    9. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same here, 16 from Hendo, Dunk, Stevens and DCL. Getting Lundstram 21 pt haul from bench was jammy, I can live with this. And after all KdB is my only MCI player, so I don't have to worry about Kun or Mahrez now.

      So perhaps no reason to be unhappy. Naturally Shu cs would have been great.

  2. yalala
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Reckon Salah will play?
    I had (v) left on taa.....

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      yeah

    2. Party time
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Read he might have a baby leave similar to Vardy but I highly doubt that happening.

        He didn't even go on hols like the rest of the squad

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Baby was born 2 days ago, Liverpool play next weekend.

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I believe his wife loves him and wants him to play and be happy 🙂 Perhaps less training but I expect him to start.

      • DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Fancies another golden boot and Norwich will be rich pickings

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Clearly not making any moves until this shambles of a GW is almost over but original plan for GW27 was to do DCL > Jimi for free. Looking like best move still?

      1FT 3.3itb
      McCarthy
      TAA, VVD, Stevens
      Salah, KDB, Grealish, Martial
      Vardy, Ings, DCL*
      (McGovern) (Holgate, Cantwell, Williams)

      I guess an injury or Vardy being awful could change my plan. Thoughts?

      Cheers

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Also lost below but that moves looks ok looking at the fixtures. You got off with the 1 city attacking after all 🙂

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Seriously lucky. May still come back to bite me mate

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Grealish to Traore also an option.

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Grealish to Traoré or Barnes was part of my GW28 move

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Can prepone it & keep DCL. He'll most likely play in 31 too

            1. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              So might Grealish! 50:50 chance I’d say. Is he cooked? Not convinced

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Toon are taking fa cup seriously this season i guess. I expect them to go ahead

                1. pingissimus
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  With Lascelles I hope you’re right. Touch and go. WBA are a decent side by all accounts - suppose they might duck it as they’re chasing promotion. Be a bit of a turnaround that with the PL team - Toon of all sides - taking the cup more seriously

                  1. Amey
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    I'm surprised tbh 😀

            2. Don Kloppeone
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              But Jimi.... the king!

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                He's a great asset yeah.

      3. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        DCL Jim looks good to me.

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers. Will wait and see what else this &£itshow brings!

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Any suggestions for this shower of **** !!!??? 2FTs. 0itb.

      McCarthy
      TAA • Lunds • Aurier
      KDB • Salah • Grealish • Mahrez • Traoré
      Agüero • Vardy
      (McGov. Rico. Soy. Greenwood)

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Mane Jim looks a cinch if you’re chasing unless it’s DGW29 which would be an almighty gamble with 28 and potential rotation in both 27 and 29.

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Sorry I’m confused by this? 🙂 Mahrez+Kun >> Jimmy+Mane? So many variables flying around and completely lost 🙂

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yep thinking you need Liverpool back - I’m only seeing two. Not keen on Kun or Mahrez next time with that schedule and Jim is just ever so reliable.

            With Rico! Traore Jim and possibly Grealish you’d have a reasonable shot of playing 31 without FH too if that matters.

            1. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Of course the smart money is probably double defence so you can safely ignore me

            2. Citizenkane91
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              No, I like Mane.

      2. Citizenkane91
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        WC intact? Have a potential deadend state in mind if so?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I have WC yeah. Think I should use it?

          1. nolard
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Nah, use it before one of the double gameweeks.

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Was thinking the same

              1. Citizenkane91
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                My team is in a better state than yours, but still playing with possible WC scenarios from gw 27 and on. Got to say, I'm strongly considering it. There are some assets I want to go early on that will be difficult to do if not, such as Doherty, R.James, Mane, Pulisic and offloading mid-priced midfield assets.

                I do like that Soy comes good for you soon. Waiting until 28 before committing is probably the most flexible option you have.

            2. Citizenkane91
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              One could argue, if none of the favourable teams participate in GW31, it could be better strategically to WC early, ignore GW31, navigate one double with transfers and one with a FH. LIC/CHE game key.

    5. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I will watch games behind sofa next sunday. Sold Auba and downgrade Son on WC for Aguero

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No double digit return at home for Aubameyang, you will be fine...

    6. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      When will City game be played?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nobody knows.
        I'm thinking it'll go ahead in this GW only.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Only time will tell.

      3. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Please keep asking though.

      4. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        It hasn't been announced yet, there are several options but doubt it will be this GW it's reserved for City and West Ham's winter break.

      5. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Highly doubtful it goes in this week

    7. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      So glad I didn't wildcard. Admittedly I got rid of Lund for a hit (for Stevens) but it would have been far worse wildcarding taking out Lund and other players (such as DCL who I luckily held) and bringing in double Sheff U defence and Man City attack

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        A wildcard is till the end of the season not one week

      2. Dosh
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That is exactly what I did

    8. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      What’s the link to show how you’d be doing with no chances at all? Think I might be getting beat now 🙂

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Changes

        FPL What if machine. Can't remember if it works midway through a gameweek

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          But this GW is over isn't it ?
          Wait ....
          😀

    9. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      18 points from 2 players.

      Shame KDB (c) and brought Mahrez in for a hit. It was nearly the start of a great week =[

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        that good as long as you haven't VC'd Mahrez.

        1. TomSaints
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Grealish... (by accident as change to Salah didn’t save)

    10. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      FYI Dennis will be the next pest

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        A menace, if you will?

    11. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Had Salah (C) and KDB (VC). Soy subbing in for KDB so Soy is now my VC, right?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        You know.

      2. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Same as me, we need to hope that one of Salah and KDB plays this GW otherwise we won't have a captain

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Do we not expect salah to start?

          1. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I do but there is some doubt over paternity leave.

            1. james 101
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Oh. Awesome.

    12. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      What to do with City assets now?

      Have 2 FTs and plan was to sell one or both of KDB & Aguero.

      But if the game isn't rescheduled for GW26 then it looks very likely they will have a DGW29.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Get rid of Kun for 2-week punt and then reassess

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Was very tempted to do VVD & KDB to Boly & Mane if Mane is fit.

          Replacements for Kun look very uninspiring this week.

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Wood vs BOU, Jimenez vs NOR. Even Abraham can also work 😀

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Depends how you are stacked for GW28.

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Have to get rid of a couple of players atleast. Selling two out KDB, Aguero & Grealish was the plan.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            If it's GW29 then you're a step ahead if you keep.
            Problem is if other popular attackers do well in 28.

            1. Karan14
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Rotation for City is a huge also problem. Think I'll have to sell one of them to fit in Vardy/Son/Mane and field 11 in GW28.

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Wait till the deadline obviously.
        I'd be keeping Aguero in your case tbh. Whenever they get a DGW if this GW is blank, he'll be the best © choice.
        I'm feeling sorry for both of us ....

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah I'm more inclined to sell KDB than Aguero. Don't have cash tied up in KDB and Mane is tempting me.

          Real bad luck for us. Still hoping the fixtures gets rescheduled for GW26 only.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yep
            Fingers crossed

          Trouble is the DGW would be United if it’s 29 - if there’s rotation risk he’d likely get that one no? Also fairly significant rotation risk in 27 sandwiched between CL and cup final. Add in no 28 and that looks very punty

            He has wildcarded this GW. I'm sure he has decent bench strength to swallow Kun benching (s)

            Yup rotation is a big problem with City. Not sure how many City players we would want for the DGW.

            I have 2 FTs and I wildcarded last week so I don't have any fires to out out and I'm looking at some aggressive moves.

      Is there a simple list somewhere of blank game weeks and double game weeks?

        he played ok in general. Didn't start off that well but then grew into the game. Think he was taken off due to tiredness

        In the end though, the joke is on City. They could have played today as conditions were fine from 14.00.

        Will now have fixture congestion. Liverpool will win the PL. And ideally City get knocked out in the QF or SF of the CL.

      Am I crazy for wanting to do Firmino -> Jimenez after this GW, in order to upgrade my defence and midfield? It'd probably be (over next 2 GWs so no hits):

      Firmino, Stephens (mid), Williams -> Jimenez, Traore, 4.5 def.

      1. Marty McFly
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He’s a 4.0 box-to-box midfielder, who’s played 84% of the available minutes, for a team in 5th position with the second highest number of clean sheets, who also has the luxury of collecting CS points. It’s going to be hard to sell him unless Wilder rules him out.

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          With all his success, people have forgotten this.

      2. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He's got to be the bench fodder worth having at 4.0m.

        People sold him and kept the likes of Kelly, Dunk etc.

    18. Ninja Škrtel
      • 10 Years

      33 pts so far (richarlson, DCL, lundstram and Henderson). Salah VC to replace Kun C.

      not bad at all!!

          Crellin is as clueless as the rest of us when games will be rearranged for, not sure why people think he is the oracle for this sort of thing!

            Because he is usually right. That said, even he is saying its 50/50 which essentially means he doesn’t know either.

            1. Now I'm Panicking

      If the City match moves to a different GW, they could have three DGWs or even a TGW yet this year What do you think about getting Ederson after BGW 28? I’d never get him normally, but he is the only nailed city player and they could be awash in games.

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ederson only

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He's been quite poor this season.
        Almost half points compared to Henderson.
        But yeah, If they get a dgw in 29, id get ederson in for Henderson. Aguero seems Farfetch for my team unless I'm on FH now

    21. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lundstram still isn’t a great option now is he if he’s not assured of starts? I brought Baldock in for someone else this week and benched Lundstram, with the plan being to ship Lundstram next week. Someone has to go because I now have four players who miss gameweek 28.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Tough spot for owners, ironically made more difficult by today's occurrences !

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, if the City game doesn’t get rearranged for this gameweek I get Lundstram in for KDB so not the worst for me. Still think Lundstram needs to go if I can’t count on him starting. That could easily have been a one-pointer today.

      2. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Staying in my team for now , but has been moved way down the pecking order.

      3. nolard
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He is going, as he isn't starting.
        I just had other things to deal with first, like Kelly.

      4. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I usually prefer to get rid of the most expensive player so you don't end up with millions on the bench.

      Just clocked Mane EO - that one pointer could be huge for my week 🙂

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He'll get a return mate.
        Hopefully that's an assist for a VvD goal 😉

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Slightly shocking to see him down at 13%

          Not entirely sure how EO works. Are dead teams factored out? Have loads of people benched him?

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            They consider benching i guess.
            It's top 10k EO right ?
            Don't think there would be Many dead teams in there

      2. nolard

        Zero points from them.

            True.
            It's a lesson I learnt a few seasons back. And now regrettably you've learnt it too.
            Never c and vc players in the same match.

        Out. But when you're ready. No rush.
        Remember he's that cheap defender you got in to make up the numbers, and who might get the odd game.

      Transferred Lundstram out for VVD for a -4. Captained Aguero and was looking forward to a Sunday evening watching him terrorise WHU. Sums up this season for me unfortunately, the more I plan the worse it seems to get. Time to step away from FPL and find a hobby that’s a little less depressing! Knitting anyone?

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, this season has panned out well for the casuals I'm afraid.

      2. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I did Lundstram to Gomez this week. We might as well wait to see their week total before sulking fully.

        Wilder dropping Lundstram was kind of a joke in the first place. Sheffield were doing just about as well as they ever could. If he regains his starting spot after they broke their transfer record, you just can't write this sh_t and we need to fully embrace that this game is pure gambling with calculated risk.

        1. Weaselpie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, I'll have to hope for a big VVD return (against my team Norwich!) and maybe Man City/West Ham being miraculously rearranged within GW26 to save my GW. Sometimes it feels like all of the 50/50s just go against you and none of the risks pay off (which I'm sure is an exaggeration in reality) but, as you say, so much of the game is down to serendipity and we have to embrace the ups and downs. I'm used to it as a Norwich fan 🙂
