Recapping the best Sheff Utd players ahead of FPL restart

Fantasy Premier League managers will have to be shrewd in their decision making when it comes to picking Sheffield United players for the remainder of the season.

Their Double Gameweek in the opening round has heightened interest in their assets but it can be difficult to work out which ones are the best to consider without looking at the underlying statistics.

We are continuing our series of refresher articles, highlighting the best players at each club in the period just before the coronavirus suspension.

As we are sure you understand, a lot has changed since the climax of Gameweek 29, with Premier League players unable to fully train with their team-mates for nearly three months. 

However, it should still serve to know who was performing best before the break.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those signed up to a valid package can access it in full.

    Hi guys! 

    What do you think about this BB team? (i havn't confirmed anything yet) I've left in De Bruyne and DCL from my original team. 

    I plan to Wildcard next GW. I realise I am risking it by not having TAA lol.

    Leno Henderson

    Basham Robertson Bednarek Targett Egan

    Sterling Barnes Saka De Bruyne Grealish

    Aguero Aubameyang DCL

    0.2 itb

    thanks guys!!

      I’d go Pukki over DCL and not big on Bednarek but it’s a solid enough team.

    No love for Pukki party?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Much love for Pukki party!

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I’m on Pukki.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Pukki crew checking in

    3. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think he knows it's already over, odds not in their favor

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Plays Sou and Eve next, both teams on the beach.

      2. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        They are 2 wins from the first team out of the drop zone and have 2 great fixtures to start and 3 home games from 4 - far from over but if they lose the first 2 then that’s different

  6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Appreciate Saka is cheap/good enabler but I wouldn’t bank on him starting, highly likely that Tierney plays LB, Aubameyang LW and Lacazette/Nketiah ST

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      this is my fear, but at least hes cheap
      how id feel about a pepe failure tho

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think Saka & Tierney will play a game each in my opinion. Wouldn’t go near either of them.

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He played #10 ahead of Ozil in the last friendly.

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Surely you’re joking, right?

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Nope.

          1. DickFranDyke
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            No he didn't. Willock did.

            First half XI: Leno; Bellerin, Mustafi, Pablo Mari, Tierney; Willock, Ceballos, Saka; Pepe, Nketiah, Aubameyang

            Second half XI: Leno; Bellerin, Mustafi, David Luiz, Tierney; Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Ozil; Aubameyang, Lacazette, Saka

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              What position is saka playibg here

            2. I Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Either way he's not playing left back in either of those formations.

    4. JfA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Maybe with Tierney back and Saka on the left, AUB can return to CF?

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        With Lacazette and Nketiah, there is too much competition for the CF position. So Auba would most likely play at LW.

  7. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    So this is the FH team im going with.

    Leno
    Egan Stevens Baldock
    KDB Sterling (c) Fernandes Grealish
    Abraham Auba Aguero

    Abraham and Fernandes excite me most from the single gameweeks. Its a lottery so just having fun with them 2.

    1. Aftermath
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks great

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Copies and pastes.

    3. JfA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Some team value that mind, I couldn't put that together.

  8. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who is better for gw 30?
    A. McCarthy vs nor
    B. Reina vs SHU, CHE, will he play?
    Ta.

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

      I'm not expecting McCarthy to keep a CS, so B

  9. Krupinho
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    More tinkering but this may be the team for BB gw30+;

    Leno / Henderson
    TTA Egan Saiss Taylor Laporte
    KDB (c) Fleck Grealish McGinn Fernandes
    Auba Aguero Samatta

    11 DGW players

    Thoughts?

  10. MGMT
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this BB 30 team?

    Leno (McCarthy)

    TAA - Doherty - Baldock - Taylor - Hanley

    KDB - Bruno - Grealish - Sarr - Hayden

    Auba - Vardy - Aguero

    0.1 itb

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same GK's combo.
      Haven't decide between McCarthy or Reina. If there is news Reina will play maybe I prefer Reina.

    2. JfA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd rethink Hayden, he's not nailed on and doesn't do much at all, might get you three points for a CS against Sheff, I'd go Douglas Luiz.

  11. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hows this FH team looking:

    Henderson
    TAA Baldock Lundstram (or O'Connell)
    Sterling KDB Grealish McGinn
    Aubameyang Aguero Jimenez

    Bench Fodder: Martin Guendouzi Simpson Killman

    Thoughts?

    Thanks

    1. JfA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fodden way too risky.

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Why do people prefer targett over mings?

    Isnt mings a danger from set pieces

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Attacking positioning and has a hand in some set pieces if I remember correctly.

  13. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Get Rid of 1:
    A) Aguero
    B) KDB
    C) Salah(Mane)
    D) Auba
    E) TAA

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C

      1. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Why C over E?

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      D

    4. Wally711
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      E

    5. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      With the same dilemma, I've gone D.

      That's of course dependent on the fact that I don't have a wildcard to fall back on to get Salah/Mane back

    6. JfA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      When, after a nuclear war 😮

  14. MGMT
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Vardy (bought at 8.9) or Rashford?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rashford, he would have been ahead of Vardy on the top scorer list if not for the injury.

      1. Wally711
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Vardy more explosive and he love double digit hauls

    2. JfA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I've got Martial and Fernandes and thinking of going Maguire so Vardy if I could afford him.

  15. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Tentative BB team with a my WC intact

    Leno, Hendo
    Egan, Basham, Stephens, Lascelles, Targett
    Sterling, KDB, Grealish, Barnes, Cantwell
    Aguero, Aubameyang, Jimenez

    Any thoughts? Only losing 0.2 on shuffling TAA in and out

  16. Me Spurs
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If I use fh on g30+ will I have 2 transfers ready for g31+?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      nope

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No

  17. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Oooo! Quite like this BB...

    Henderson - Reina
    TAA - Mendy - Lundstram - Stevens - Lascelles
    Grealish - Salah - KdB - Sterling - Fernandes
    Jimenez - Pukki - Nketiah

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure about Mendy, Nketiah and Pukki has been pretty bad for a while now. Reina not a sure starter either btw.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks for commenting. Mendy a bit of a luxury, must admit. Norwich have 3 home games in 4 and I think the break will have done them good.

        I thought Reina was nailed on with Heaton injured?

        1. JBG
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Read on Villas forum that they rather want Steer or Nyland. And Reina looked kinda sluggish before the break.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks for the info! Will go check the Villa fans forum. Can’t believe Reina wouldn’t start given his pedigree - why else would he be there.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Reina + Mendy
      or
      Leno + 5m (Boly?)

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Leno Targett

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          cheers

  18. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Undecided on the best SHU double up in defence, already have Henderson, and waiting to see if any team leaks re Lundstram before deadline... but otherwise, best options out of:

    A. Baldock
    B. Stevens

    1. O’Connell
    2. Egan

    Thanks all

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Think general idea was stevens and O’Connell were the best pairing

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Why is that?

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B1 for me.

    3. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B2

  19. HamezMace
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Good day for WHU, they beat QPR 4-1 and Palace 2-1 in friendlies today.

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Haller scoring nicely in friendlies!

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        True, but Benteke also scored, so not sure how much I’ll read into that!

  20. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A. Egan - Hanley
    B. Targett - Lascelles
    C. Saiss - Kiko Femenia

    1. Wally711
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A I guess but not great options

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A is best of the worst.

  21. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Better option for bb this gw - Cantwell or Saka?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Both good options but struggling to see where Saka fits in (other then LB) if Aubameyang stays in that LW spot.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Did you see the Arsenal v Brentford friendly? Or at least the teams?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          sorry, went to walk the dogs. Yeah, I see that he's been playing but with Lacazette, Aubameyang, Martinelli, Nketiah, I'm not sure how he nails down the left wing or #10.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Cantwell

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      My head has been turned by DGW, Saka. But its a gamble.

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Saka for me.

  22. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who will score more points against EVE-

    1. Mane
    2. TAA

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Toss a coin

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm going with TAA. More ways to get returns.

  23. jayzico
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any Man City defender til end of season. Money no object.

    Who?

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Laporte

      1. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Laporte or Ederson.

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kyle Walker s going to start most games, bar Edison. 5.6 is ok price to pay imo, even if he is not much more than cs.

    4. Mid budget coach
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      None, the worst fixtures

  24. I Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Apparently Lascelles didn't feature in Newcastle's friendly today. That's a bit of a worry.

    1. fc_skrald
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Oh no

    2. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Could be a game changer..

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Bruce has been rotating a lot in the friendlies, so pretty much everyone has had a run out at some point.

      1. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        good news

    4. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Oh damn

  25. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is this team worth a bench boost?

    McCarthy
    TAA, Doherty, Alonso, Lundstram
    KDB, Salah, Grealish, Fernandes
    Jiménez, Auba

    Nyland, Lascelles, Nketiah, Guendouzi
    0.1 million in the bank, wildcard, free hit and bench boost chips

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not unless you make a bunch of changes at least. Bench is horrific.

      1. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. I will save my chips then. And make the bench even worse to save some money

    2. Mid budget coach
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Good team. Greenwood over Nketiah?

  26. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which fantastic four do you prefer for a BB30? Thanks :

    A - Baldock, Bellerin, Cantwell, Douglas Luiz

    B - E.Stevens, Targett, Saka, McGinn

    Which is your preferred option here folks?

    A) Henderson, Mahrez & Pépe
    Or
    B) Reina, Sterling and Pulisic

    1. JBG

      A

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A could work out amazing.

    Sirprised people think laporte will start both. Cant see it happening

      If any city defender starts both it would be him. The rest are just a big gamble, may as well go premium.

        Going with ederson

      2. bench boost for every gamew…

        if any of the four in backline starts twice it will be Walker.

    2. HamezMace

      Well he’s the best of three centre backs, so probably the most likely to start both the doubles.

      Not sure who else they’ll play? Fernandinho perhaps?

        Otamendi maybe comes in for the physical challenge of Burnley, but no guarantees of who does and doesn't play these games for Man City.

          Yeah true

    3. Vazza
