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.

      Dont bench TAA or Jimenez for the likes of targett saka.

        Fair point!

      2. Emm7980
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Fair comment, blinded by the doubles I suppose.
        Thx

      Pretty good, just not sure if the Lord will be 1st choice?

      1. Emm7980
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yea could swap for egan or o connell but xferrerd him out before a haul before and just have a feeling...

  3. dunas_dog

    Best option as 2 single week players on FH

    A Mount Jiménez
    B Doherty Abraham

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

      B

    2. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      a

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      easy B. Great combo. Think Abraham could do well vs Villa

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

        Cheers- how are your plans coming on? I am set on FH 30 + into BB 31+

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          yeah following suit mate

        2. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          didn't finish my reply. Same as you BBing in 31 as something to look forward to after my rivals all BB this week. Can see definite value in some SGW players like Abraham over dross DGW players like Pepe

    4. Fantasy Pig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B

  4. JJeyy
    • 8 Years

    Pulisic worth the punt?

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

      Yes no, yes no, yes no, finally settled on yes but that might change before Wednesday 17;00

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

      Risky due to numbers of Chelsea mids. But I think worth a punt as big upside if pays off

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

      CHO not fit while Pedro and Willian are out of contract this summer.

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

        Doesn’t really answer the question

  5. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is it silly to pick Nyland over Reina? I need that 0.2 to get my preferred BB team.

    What do you think is Reina’s point ceiling ? (assuming he plays)

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

      I mean the bb makes you get points from both of your keepers so I doubt that 0.2 would make worth it to go from Reina's points to zero points from the second keeper

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If you're going for Nyland over Reina, you might as well get Button and gain an extra 0.4m?

      Depends who starts for Villa, though.

      You'd be dropping your BB from four chances of points > three chances of points.

  6. JAYPEE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would you rather go either
    A) Henderson or Leno with Reina
    Or
    B) Henderson or Leno with a 3.9 GK to free up funds

  7. Herman Toothrot

    I've left Kun and Auba on my bench. Just to mess with my ML rivals.

    A Sad Fantasy Football Manager, or Ron, for short.
    I try with all my might and main

    A deesunt score, the best, to gain.
    But, no matter how hard I strive
    ɉ۬I never actually arrive.
    Every week, I wonder more

    What fresh mishaps await my score.

    Forgett about value, who gets me the most points in GW 30 + only

    A TAA
    B Aubameyang

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

      A

  10. XABI 15

    Pepe + Sterling or Mane + Mahrez on FH?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I went with the latter

  11. FPLisBack
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hey Everyone!

    How's this look everyone - AAA upfront! ( Still thinking Jimenez or Abraham )

    Henderson

    Doherty, Stevens, Egan, TAA
    KDB, Grealish, Barnes
    Auba, Aguero , Abraham

    Leno, Lascalles, Mount, Sarr

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

      Looks strong

  12. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this for a BB side in 31+?

    Pope Leno
    Maguire TAA Doherty Fernandez Chilwell
    Barnes KDB Fernades Salah Alli
    DCL Jimi Jota

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      could go Robbo and Grealish over Chilwell and Alli also

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

        Looks good with Grealish & Robo

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

      Not keen on Chilwell as most likely to be subject to rotation- Justin better option and I think nailed with Pereira our for rest of season- would that let you go Alli to Son?

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Good shout but would be 0.5 short. If I get Son would only have 4.2 left for a defender. Can't see anyone in that range

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

          Pity- only option really might be Williams- Shaw not going to be fit enough to play every United games - but risky on BB. Robertson might be best option. I am getting him in and BB will be same as you with Robbo Cantwell over Chilwell Alli. My team value not as good as yours

  13. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Cracked it....I think!!

    FH Week 30+
    Leno
    Lundy / Stevens / Baldock
    KDB / Sterling / Pepe / Grealish / Mcginn
    Auba / Kun

    Button / Targett / Greenwood / Lascelles

    BB Week 31+
    Pope / Krul
    TAA / AWB / Doherty / Egan / Lascelles
    Martial / Salah / KDB / Fernandes / Cantwell
    Jimi / Jota / DCL

  14. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Got the FH and BB left and was all set on FHing. But now I think I can gain a greater advantage by FHing in 31+.

    If I use the unlimited transfers instead here’s what the team looks like...is it enough?

    (I would have had Baldock, Samatta, Sterling(c) if I FH that is the only difference).

    Henderson
    TAA Doherty Stevens
    KdB Fernandes Richarlison Grealish Cantwell
    Aguero(C) Aubameyang

    McCarthy DCL Hanley Holgate

    FH 31 fixtures look great with Spurs, Wolves, Everton, Liverpool all having amazing fixtures.

  15. Fantasy Pig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hi all which combo For my FH? I’ve narrowed it down to these.

    A) Reina, O’Connell, Salah, Sterling, Jimenez

    B) Henderson, TAA, Pépé, Sterling, Abraham

    C) Henderson, TAA, Salah, Mahrez, Abraham

    The rest of the team is:

    XXX
    Basham, Egan, XXX
    KDB, XXX, Grealish XXX
    Aguero, Aubameyang, XXX

    Thanks!

  17. Rover
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Of all my BB drafts, I like the look of this the best so far as a balance between template and differentials. So please deconstruct it and send me back to the chopping board:

    Ederson Leno
    TAA Doherty Lundstram Egan Lascelles
    Sterling (c) KdB Bruno Grealish Fleck
    Auba (vc) Jota Samatta

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

    FH team, anything I should change here??

    Henderson
    TAA Stevens Egan (or Lundstram)
    Sterling KDB Grealish McGinn
    Aubameyang Aguero Jimenez

    Bench Fodder: Martin Guendouzi Simpson Killman

    Thoughts?

    1. _Ninja_

      Like it, similar to mine.

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

      Looks good. Perhaps Henderson to Leno ( for save points) and McGinn to Fleck worth a thought

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

        Have you read my mind? Or have you seen my previous post asking best option out of:

        1. Henderson McGinn
        2. Leno Fleck

        Haha

  19. _Ninja_

    Thoughts on this FH team?

    Henderson
    TAA Alonso Stevens
    Grealish Sterling KDB Fleck
    Kun Auba Jimenez

    1. HellasLEAF

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

      Great team, thanks for commenting above

      You have Alonso Fleck to mine Egan McGinn

      Your TV must be juicy!!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Very tempted by Lundy like yourself

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

          Could be worth a roll of the dice hey... hopefully we get a team leak before their ko with it being the first

  20. Old Gregg

    The current thinking behind using unlimited transfers and BB this gw, then WC in 31 is pretty solid. For that that kept the WC this long that is.

    Have FH and BB left but not WC. Same strategy without WC? It will make GW 31 tricky but thinking yes..

    1. Rover
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would much rather BB30 and WC32/33. The extra 1-2 weeks' info will be very useful in making the small decisions like which United midfielder to get, which Spurs attacker to get, which budget players find form etc.

      I have made a BB draft that will allow me to field a strong team in GW31 with just two transfers. Alternatively I've read some here planning a BB30 FH31 WC32 strategy.

      1. Captain Knackered
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I’m thinking bench boost 30+
        Free Hit 31+ to load up with Leicester, Liverpool, wolves, spurs maybe
        Then wildcard 32+ with a bit more to go off

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

    Best option:

    1. Stevens & McGinn
    2. Saiss (or PVA) & Fleck

    Thanks

    Will bench boost. Which teams beat you reckon? Or any tweaks?

    Leno. Henderson.
    Boly. Laporte. TAA. Egan. Lascelles
    Mane. KDB. Pepe. Cantwell. Fleck.
    Auba. Samatta. Vardy.

    Or

    Responses would be highly appreciated.

    On a FH - which combo is better

    1. Henderson*, Alonso, TAA, Abraham

    2. Henderson*, Alonso, Bruno, Abraham

    3. Henderson*, TAA, Martial, Abraham

    4. Leno*, Stevens*, McGinn*, Mane
    .

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3

    2. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I’d go 1

      Tho confused by that one being two defenders and a forward as opposed to others

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

        The formation would be different with these options.

    3. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Can you do 3 w/ Bruno instead of Martial

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

        Afraid no, I have used up all the budget

    I still have BB, FH and WC. Having a difficult time deciding between:

    A) Free hit this week then use WC and bench boost later on
    B) Bench boost this week, WC 31+

    What chip strategy would you use with this current team? Not a ton of changes I would make on WC. Have significant value tied up in TAA, Fernandes, DCL, KDB, Salah, Martial (Definitely want TAA, Fernandes, KDB long term - having a hard time ditching DCL as well).

    Pope - McCarthy
    TAA - Wan-Bissaka - O'Connel - Saiss - Lescelles
    Salah - KDB - Fernandes - Martial - Cantwell
    Auba - DCL - Jota

      B for me

      Very similar position to you. Currently planning B and keeping TAA, Bruno, DCL where I have most of my value tied up( see team below)

      Losing 0.9 mio TV of which I would’ve lost 0.6 even if I free hit and WC in GW31+.

        Thanks for the thoughts. TAA, Bruno and DCL are definitely who I would keep.

    Any thoughts between these?

    A) Saiss - Guendouzi - Salah
    B) Otamendi - Sarr - Son

    ... can’t quite brave going without Salah or Mané, anyone else feeling the same?

      still have your wildcard?

      if yes then go without one of them
      if no then you should have one of them

    Bb 30+

    Leno, Reina
    Lundstram, Egan, Stevens,Targett, TAA*
    KDB(c), Grealish, Silva, Bruno*, Cantwell
    Kun, Auba, DCL*

    * are the players I would like to keep to preserve value

    Cantwell can be Saka if he is nailed.

      try to get abraham or jimmy
      not sure about silva
      otherwise is ok i think
