No heroics off the bench from Lundstram as Blank Gameweek hastens exodus

Sheffield United 1-1 Brighton and Hove Albion

  • Goals: Enda Stevens (£5.1m) | Neal Maupay (£5.8m)
  • Assists: None | Adam Webster (£4.4m)
  • Bonus: Maupay x3, Webster x2, Shane Duffy (£4.8m) x1

Neal Maupay (£5.8m) scored his first goal since Gameweek 17 as Brighton defied the odds – and the stats – to pinch a point at Bramall Lane.

As befitted a match between sixth and sixth from bottom, Sheffield United dominated possession (65%) and had nearly twice as many attempts (14) as the Seagulls’ eight.

But the Blades beat Mat Ryan (£4.8m) just the once, when wing-back Enda Stevens (£5.1m) lashed home from a partially cleared corner, and only forced the keeper into two saves all match.

As for Stevens, his game was over by half-time, with manager Chris Wilder explaining his withdrawal post-match:

Enda is an injury. He flagged up a tight calf so it wasn’t worth taking the risk. Losing Enda was a bit of a blow, but hopefully he’ll be okay.

A Brighton side set up to play on the counter didn’t have the look of a side that would find a way back into the match, even with Maupay brought back into the team to partner Glenn Murray (£5.4m) up front.

But as it turned out, Brighton only had to wait four minutes to restore parity when Adam Webster (£4.4m) nodded an Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) free-kick across the penalty area and Maupay was the quickest to react and head home.

A match already low on quality was even lower on decent chances after that, with Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) blasting one effort over the bar for the visitors and Ryan twice denying Oliver McBurnie (£5.7m) with sharp close-range stops.

Other than that, the sad demise of the Fantasy artist formerly known as Lord Lundstram (£5.0m) continued apace.

The misclassified defender, still owned by 42.8% of FPL managers, was benched for a fourth straight match and the major event of his nine-minute cameo on Saturday involved a possible red card for a challenge on Dunk.

Brighton boss Graham Potter had his views on the incident:

The red card for serious foul play? It looks quite serious to me. It was a full-blooded challenge and it was that type of game but it’s not for me to say it should have been a red card.

Lundstram survived that scare – and the Brighton defender the decidedly robust tackle – although the former’s loyal ownership will surely be jumping ship sooner rather than later given Sheffield’s Blank Gameweek 28 and the diminishing chances of him reclaiming a starting spot in Chris Wilder’s side.

After the forthcoming blank, the Blades’ fixtures are a mixed bunch and Gameweek 31’s trip to Manchester United would require two unlikely FA Cup results to still go ahead, so fresh interest in Wilder’s men is likely to be muted.

The same is very much true for Brighton’s assets.

The Seagulls do feature in Gameweek 28 – at home to Crystal Palace – but their involvement in Gameweek 31 requires Leicester to lose to Birmingham City.

And their fixtures over the next eight matches are the wrong side of nasty anyway, with Arsenal, both Manchester sides and Liverpool to come on top of that possible Foxes game and a trip to Wolves.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Henderson; Basham, Egan, O’Connell; Baldock, Berge (Lundstram 81′), Norwood, Fleck, Stevens (Osborn 46′); McBurnie, Sharp (McGoldrick 74′).

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (5-3-2): Ryan; Schelotto (Trossard 75′), Dunk, Webster, Duffy, Burn; Bissouma, Propper, Mooy; Maupay (Bernardo 90′), Murray (Connolly 75′).

Burnley 3-0 Bournemouth

  • Goals: Matej Vydra (£5.3m), Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m), Dwight McNeil (£6.0m)
  • Assists: Phil Bardsley (£4.3m), McNeil
  • Bonus: McNeil x3, Bardsley, Nick Pope (£4.7m) x2

Burnley made it four wins and a draw from their last five matches as VAR dealt struggling Bournemouth a particularly cruel blow.

The Clarets were leading 1-0, courtesy of Matej Vydra‘s (£5.3m) second goal in as many games, when Harry Wilson (£5.8m) thought he’d equalised following a swift counter-attack.

VAR had other ideas, however, as Adam Smith (£4.3m) was adjudged to have handled in his own area as part of the build-up to the ‘goal’.

Wilson’s strike was chalked off and a penalty awarded to Burnley, with Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) happy to dispatch the unexpected treat for the home side.

While the decision was correct, Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe was in no doubt as to the impact it had on his players:

Psychologically, we thought it was 1-1, but then we were 2-0 down moments later. I don’t think we dealt with the emotions of that very well. The players are human beings and I have to understand how they felt in that moment. I think we were psychologically spent.

The Cherries had already been denied what would have been the opening goal from Josh King (£6.1m) when VAR decided a flick-on from Philip Billing (£5.0m) had come off the midfielder’s arm.

To have another chalked off, and to then concede a penalty as well, would have sorely tested teams in ruder health than Bournemouth at present, so it was little surprise that the visitors fell apart after such misfortune.

That it could, and probably should, have been so different was down to the excellence of Nick Pope (£4.7m) in the Burnley goal, the keeper making fine saves to deny Callum Wilson (£7.4m) and his namesake Harry before Vydra pounced early in the second half.

The Czech international had already seen one effort well saved by Aaron Ramsdale (£4.6m) – one of seven stops the Bournemouth man made – before he ran on to Dwight McNeil‘s (£6.0m) pass, swerved into the area and finished with authority.

With Chris Wood (£6.2m) not thought to be too far away from a return (the Kiwi striker was “touch and go” for Gameweek 27), Vydra’s stay might be a short-lived one in the Burnley starting XI.

His strike partner Rodriguez, who has two goals from his last four starts, is perhaps worth a look so long as Ashley Barnes (£6.1m) remains sidelined, however.

Burnley travel to Newcastle next and will definitely play in Gameweek 31, at home to Watford.

They’ll have to face Spurs and Manchester City before that, though, but the fixtures that follow are generally kind and only Liverpool have won more points than the Clarets over the last six matches.

Both Burnley forwards spurned fine chances to add to their tally on Saturday, with Rodriguez set up by an especially tasty cross from McNeil, before the winger scored the goal his all-round performance deserved.

The former Manchester United prospect had already hit the post with one effort from outside the area before a second long-range effort found the back of the net.

That helped earn him the maximum bonus award and a season-best 14 points, ending a 14-match barren streak while he was about it.

At the back, Burnley kept a third clean sheet in four outings as normal Sean Dyche service seems to have resumed, with the manager happy to single out his 16.0%-owned goalkeeper for praise:

The best part of our game is that when things aren’t going so well, we stay in there. That always gives you a chance and Nick Pope is there for many reasons; one is that he’s a top goalkeeper. He made some big saves.

As for Bournemouth, a decent run involving two wins and a battling defeat at Sheffield United came to an abrupt end at Turf Moor, and the next two matches – at home to Chelsea and away at Liverpool – won’t inspire much thought of investment.

The Cherries are another side with a guaranteed Gameweek 31 fixture, but that will involve a tough trip to Wolves and the games that follow look even harder.

Howe’s side were without Nathan Ake (£4.8m) and Jefferson Lerma (£4.8m) on Saturday, with their manager providing the following update:

Nathan had a kick to the head in training, suffered a very mild concussion. I think the rule was that he couldn’t play for five days. Saturday was the fourth day, so if it was Sunday he would have played.

Jefferson picked up a rib injury against Aston Villa in his last game. We hope it’s nothing too serious.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Hendrick, Westwood, Cork (Brownhill 90′), McNeil (Brady 90′); Vydra (Lennon 82′), Rodriguez.

Bournemouth XI (4-5-1): Ramsdale; Stacey, Francis, S Cook, Smith; H Wilson (Solanke 74′), Gosling (Fraser 70′), Billing, Surman, King (Stanislas 70′); C Wilson.

    Could really do with Mane being quiet tonight.
    Owning only 1 out of Mane\Salah is stressfull but on thw other hand takes away captaincy headache and give all round better 15.

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years

      as long as mané scores from Robbo assist or VVD assist i don´t bother.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years

        Own TAA, Gomez and Salah - so hoping for bit different scenario 😉

      I've asked a similar question, and currently on getting a playing keeper, so 1.

    2. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hendo blanks v United aswell so A

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Isn’t that 31 so Free Hit week anyway?

        1. JT11fc
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          True

          1. Pipermaru
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            ManU-SHU game likely to be rescheduled from gw31 so FH won't help much there, he still gonna blank but later on.

    3. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

  4. G Banger
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would you prioritise? (1FT, 0.7ITB)

    a) Playing keeper (Button => McCarthy)
    b) Stronger Midfield (Grealish => H.Barnes)
    c) Save

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one isn’t it...

      Keeper probably the sensible route, midfield more upside and exciting...

    2. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

  5. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    bench boost that scout picks, wow. almost 40 points, wish i have that on my bb, but the way this season been going i´ll be glad if it is above 10-)

  6. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Morning...any views what to do here please, esp with auba? 2fts. Bb29

    A....auba and grealish to vardy and barnes (then maybe vardy to auba in 29)

    B....egan and grealish to soyuncu and barnes (bench auba) 5 at the back in 28.

    Mccarthy (hendo)
    Taa robbo boly stephens (egan)

      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you decide to go for B) then I'd definietly prefer Evans to Soy if you can afford the difference. The only trouble with A) is you're factoring in a possible transfer before GW28 has happened. I'd give Vardy one more week to monitor. I have him but I might sell in GW29 - we're not looking 100% at the moment and his confidence is low ... he should've scored on Saturday.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate.

        Yes A uses up a valuable transfer that ill need for blank 31.

        I can just afford evans. Why do you think he is the better option? Thanks

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Much higher goal threat, otherwise not much in it. Good luck!

    2. HTL
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B, Vardy seems to be a in a don't buy, don't sell flux

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

  7. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think Hayden has a chance of starting this gw?

    Who would you remove for Bruno, Hayden or Traore?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hayden

    2. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hayden or Traore isn't a hard choice at all.

  8. n14mul

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Morning,

    I have seen some whispers of a possible dgw in 29 involving city and chelsea and this could be announced by end of this week? What are the real chances of this?

    If this does happen are there any real city and Chelsea players to look at apart from KDB, city have United and Chelsea have Everton which are no easy games for either team

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure on likelihood, gonna make the moves at the last moment just in case though.

      I reckon Ederson could be good and then would definitely think about Abraham.

      Thought it would be City and Arsenal though?

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Doesn't look like city and arsenal as arsenal won 1st leg. If arsenal.get knocked out of EL then yes it most likely would be city and arsenal

  9. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lundy, Snoddy > Doherty, Barnes -4?

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good to me

  10. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes you would make or gtg for 28’and carry transfer?- subject to no injuries per deadline

    * 3 Blank g/w player

    Pope
    TAA Boly Stephens
    Salah Mané Barnes Mooy
    Ings DCL Jiménez

    Henderson* Fernández Stevens* KDB*

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Save transfer. Nice team

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Benching Fernandez could hurt. DCL perhaps?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. I know but DCL looks likely to score- should have had a haul last night. If playing Fernández obvious one to bench would be Mooys but can see Brighton doing ok home to Palace.

  11. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    OK hive mind. What would you do here? 1FT and 1.8itb.

    McCarthy
    TAA Lascelles Stephens Holgate Rico**
    Salah Mane Grealish**
    Ings DCL

    Henderson** Auba** KDB** Elneny**

    Looks like I'll need to do two moves to get 11 on the park, assuming Rico has been dropped??

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish to Barnes and Rico to Saiss might work

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Got enough to bring in Doherty over Saiss with that move. Worth it?

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Quite a price difference- not sure if Doherty worth 1.7 m over Saiss whose stats good.

          1. Flynny
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Have you ruled out auba to vardy?

            Im in a similar position and looking at similar moves to what dunas dog proposes

  12. Gazza2000

    Early thoughts on this lot ? 1 FT 2.6 ITB

    McCarthy
    TAA Fernandez Stephens Taylor
    Salah Bruno Barnes Hayden
    Jimenez Ings

    Henderson, O'Connell Mahrez Aguero

    A) O'Connell to Robertson
    B) O'Connell to Robertson and Aguero to Vardy -4
    C) Save

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B looks nice

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B and bench hayden.

  13. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Blank gw31 question...

    Assuming we only get these 3 fixtures for 31 what are peoples plans?

    Norwich v Everton
    Wolves v Bournemouth
    Burnley v Watford

    That would leave me with 3 players currently. I have fH and BB left and personally thinking fH in a dgw is preferable. In this scenario what are people thinking?

    1. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm interested in this too.

      I've got WC, FH and BB - so might well use my FH.

    2. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Liverpool game is added to that list I will definitely not be using fH and content with 8-9 players with those fixtures.

    3. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      get one everton attacker, 3 wolves player, one burnley def.. you will be fine

      1. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think given my lack of wc saving my fH away from this gw is a differential move. Loads are fH in that week. The fixtures are uninspiring.

        1. Wally banter
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          without telling which all are the three players you currently own, its difficult to suggest something

          1. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Traore, Jimmy, doucoure

            1. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Robbo, tta, salah for Liverpool hence using 2 ft that week if they lose to chelsea

            2. Wally banter
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Get pope/taylor can wait till 31, saiss/boly - even this week wont do any harm, get richa/dcl when you gets a slot open.
              add one punt if you feel necessary to on gw 31 with a hit, that will be more than enough

              Gw28/29 - Saiss boly, us other ft for your normal squad
              GW30 save
              Gw31 - richa, pope/taylor, one punt in

              7 players , more than enough

              1. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                4 transfers for - 4 seems reasonable.

                1. Wally banter
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  -4 actually counts -2 only as the player you are selling is not playing that gw
                  given that he gets min 2 points ofc

  14. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    VVD is due a header goal, isn't he?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. My rival has him

  15. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Son+Lunds >> Maddy/Barnes+Robbo (-4)?

    Would leave this...

    McCarthy
    TAA • Soy • Aurier • Robbo
    Maddy/Barnes • Salah • Traoré
    Vardy • Jiménez • Ings
    (McGov. Rico. KDB*. Grealish*)

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good moves imo

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Maddy or Barnes, Gazza?

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Would go with Barnes

        2. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Barnes if you need the cash, I would expect Maddison to score more points over the next few gws personally.

    2. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes with Mad

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Barnes for me

  16. G Banger
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So I'm settled on getting a playing keeper (1FT, 0.7ITB), would you:

    a) Button => McCarthy
    b) Button + Grealish => Pope + H.Barnes (-4)

  17. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How’s she looking for GW28 ladies? Already made the Mahrez > Fernandes switch.

    A) Hayden & Aubameyang -> Richarlison & Vardy (-4) (11 starters with Williams sub)

    B) Hayden -> Moura (or other 7.8 MID - Barnes?) (11 with Williams starting, no sub)

    C) Aubameyang -> Vardy (11 with Williams starting, Hayden sub)

    D) Save FT and hope both Hayden & Williams play

    Thinking A. No value tied up in Aubameyang so would probably bring him in 1-2 GWs after the blank.

    Cheers!

    So... would be nice to know about City DGW before the end of day (and Lund drop).

    Lemme know Football Gods!!

      Did lundy survive? Surprised if so, looked to go going last night.

        Yeah, happening tonight.
        I'd love to know if City have a DGW, as I'll ditch Aguero if not (and have a better replacement for Lundy too).

    A lot of people taking hits this week to field a full side?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They only cost -2 points 🙂

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        what if they get a YC? or concede 4 goals?!

      2. Le Bluff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Does this argument actually stand up?!

        A 4 point hit is a 4 point hit at the end of the day.

        1. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Opportunity cost

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just one hit.

    3. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…

      Yeah. - 4 max though.

    Was all set to avoid the auba -> Vardy -> Auba hokey cokey, but I have 1ft, and feel like if Vardy hauls it will really hurt.

    I'd guess alot of Kun owners will go to Vardy, and the 2 guys im chasing in ml both have kun.

    Team for the week is

    McCarthy
    TAA - VVD - Williams - Saiss (Rico)
    Salah (C) - Martial - Maddison - Dendo (Kdb)
    Ings - Jimi - (Auba)

    If I bring in Vardy, can drop Dendo to the bench.

    Good moves? or just hold the ft

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you go Vardy surely you keep for Watford Villa too.

    2. Flynny
      • 9 Years

      Transfers for just one game rarely work in my experience

      But as a auba owner it is hard to ignore vardy for that game

  23. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Am I stupid in thinking Gaz>Pope/Krul to a -4 thinking ahead to GW31 where I will have no gk (Mccarthy other keeper). I have exact funds to do Gaz>Pope now and am wary that Gaz keeps dropping in price.

    Pepe looked pretty quite yesterday. Any Pepe owners out there?

    Got to be Auba right?

    1. Wally banter

      get one saka and save the money instead of pepe

      1. Old Gregg
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Would've got Saka in this week if they had no blank

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years

      I own both, been very very happy the last 2 weeks!

    In the Comparison Tool (and maybe elsewhere in the Members' Area) there's an issue with the text search requiring diacritics to be included. So when I go to compare Ayoze Pérez, if I type 'P-e-r-e-z' he doesn't show up as I'm missing the acute on the 'e'.

    Can this be amended so that this isn't the issue (so searching for an 'e' includes all the relevant letters with acutes, etc), as it seems ridiculous. Thanks!

      I asked for this ages ago and nothing happened. Trying to find Çağlar Söyüncü is always fun.

    Need to shake my team up, been losing too much ground in my mini league. Thoughts?

    Ryan - Martin
    TAA - Robbo - Lund - Lascelles - Williams
    Salah - KDB - Maddison - Traore - Hayden
    Vardy - Jimi - Ings
    2 free transfers, 0.5 in the bank

    A) Ryan > Pope?

    B) Williams > Taylor? Or is double Burnley too much?

    C) Lundstram - bought him at 4.0, is he worth keeping as a bench player?

    D) Maddison - would need to go to a cheaper player (Grealish after next week?), alternatively you to Martial/Richarlison if I downgrade elsewhere

    E) Ings - willing time give him a few more weeks, certainly until after Norwich in GW30, but after that possibly switch to DCL? Would free up funds to make the move in D.

    Early thoughts.

    A) Lundstram -> Doherty
    B) Lundstram -> Perreira
    C) Lundstram -> Azpilicueta

    I have owned Aguero for 9 game weeks this season:
    0 double digit hauls
    2 single digit hauls
    3 bench
    4 blanks including a missed pen 0 point haul.

    Anyone else have such bad luck?
