Brewster benched again as West Brom host Sheff Utd in Gameweek 10

Fantasy Premier League managers could be forgiven for turning a blind eye to the final match of Gameweek 10’s Saturday schedule.

It pits the division’s bottom two sides together at the Hawthorns in an encounter that carries very little Fantasy relevance.

The fact that the most popular asset from either West Bromwich Albion or Sheffield United is non-playing goalkeeper David Button (£4.0m) speaks volumes.

It is Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) who sits second in that race, his 6.2% ownership roughly 14 percentage points behind Button’s and he does not make a start tonight either.

For the second match in a row, the former Liverpool striker is chosen on Chris Wilder’s bench, the Sheffield United boss preferring Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) and Oliver Burke (£4.4m) up-front.

That means the most fashionable starter at the Hawthorns is John Egan (£4.8m), chosen only by 2.9% of Fantasy managers, just ahead of Aaron Ramsdale (£4.8m) on 2.8%.

With the Blades facing Leicester and Southampton in Gameweeks 11 and 12 and Slave Bilic’s Baggies preparing to face Callum Wilson‘s (£6.5m) Newcastle and Manchester City between now and Gameweek 13, Fantasy managers are more likely to be watching how poor the respective defences are tonight rather than looking for specific assets to scout.

West Bromwich Albion XI (5-3-2): Johnstone; Townsend, Bartley, Ivanovic, Ajayi, Furlong; Gallagher, Sawyers, M Pereira; C Robinson, Grant.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; K Bryan, Egan, Basham; Lowe, Fleck, Norwood, Berge, Baldock; McBurnie, Burke.

    Needs Zaha replacement - Mahrez?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The question is will Mahrez be benched next week with Pep Roulette?

  4. THEKID_88

    What are people's thoughts on Raphinha?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He scored a goal, Klich still better option.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I like him, but the midfield is very competitive atm with Salah KDB Bruno Son Jota Grealish etc, maybe even Torres soon. Just no room for a punt.

  5. el polako

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hegazi to punish sellers.

    1. teneighty
      • 9 Years

      Seller*

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      So he's going to punish WBA?

  6. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    2 points from one player so far

  7. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    James to Jota on my radar. Would you also do Cresswell to Cancelo now he has had his rest?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cresswell to Dias, Pep may rotate his full backs.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I have Dias already, I was looking at a double up.

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If you like having sweaty palms just before the deadline, go right ahead

    3. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why sell Cresswell?

  8. jimmyabs1987
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    DCL & Ziyech to KDB & Adams?

    I can’t not have KDB and I have Jamez still. I don’t want to lose Son or Kane so can’t see any other way to get him in

  9. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    More I watch Leeds, more I think that only Raphina and Phillips have the ability to put the ball out of the GK's reach and in the net. And Phillips plays DM so he isn't going to get the opportunities.

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Fascinating that they have problems putting the ball into Pickford's net

  10. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mahrez or KDB?

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KDB.

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KdB, wouldn’t be surprised if Mahrez is benched next week

    3. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KDB

    4. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KdB of course.

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

    James Rodriguez (bur) to Jota (WOL) this week or wait one more week?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd wait.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I was going to do this last week but wanted to hold for his nice fixtures. Should have went with it. Hames could have had a few assist or goals today, was very unfortunate.

    3. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I done the move for this week and feel lucky

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

    Why did Sheffield buy Brewster? Had they even seen him play? Hes clearly not PL quality and they arent even trying to give him consistent play time.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      None of their strikers are PL quality, gotta play someone.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Getting ready for the Championship.

    3. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      So pool don't buy him back and then he will suddenly play every game after 😉

    4. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Few of their players are PL quality. McBurnie is terrible.

    5. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Because their owner had bought him in FPL. This is a fact

    6. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bit harsh on Brewster, he joined team which is clearly struggling and we can't expect from newbie to turn things around for them.

      From fpl point of view, I'm holding gives me Bruno, Grealish, KDB, Salah and Fornals in midfield.

    7. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They could have bought Luca Toni for 5m rising to £9 as well.

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

      This is a terrible opinion

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

        What part of it? Hes looked turgid when given minutes

    9. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He's rubbish thats why. Upubare right hes not premiership Quality, if he was Liverpool would have kept him.

  13. BenDavies
    • 11 Years

    Anyone else look at their team this week and think "Wow this is a great team surely I get returns from every player here"?

    Famous last words.

    1. Rasping Drive

          Absolutely mate!!! For example I started Ayling against Leicester and Palace and he conceded 4 in each game and got zero in both, i bench h for Arsenal and Everton and he gets two clean sheets!!! Haha

    Taking hits never bloody works out for me.

    Dallas to Cancelo costed -12 !!!

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      All the evidence suggested Mendy is first choice tbf but yeah, it sucks.

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        What evidence suggested that? Think Cancelo will start more than Mendy but neither are nailed on starters.

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Who is your sub for Cancelo ?

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Lamptey.

        1. el polako

          Ouch...

      2. Shineonme

        Mine is Bellerin

    3. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Took a - 4 here

      Zaha and Podence to Jota and Torres.

      Unless Podence scores big. It worked out

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

        Would be typical that Podence hauled.

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss to Dallas for me to get 11 out. 4 points up on the deal. Feel v lucky esp as a DCL non-owner.

  15. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Did anyone watch the Liverpool game? How did Mané look?

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Well rested

  16. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Gandhi has won again.

  17. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Armpit offsides are killing the game.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Agree, call me old fashioned but I preferd footie with refs mistakes and goals than one where goals like Bamford against Palace are disallowed.

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        this!!

  18. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bamford or Wilson?

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      have both and keeping

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson for next 4 then switch to bamford?

  19. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This could actually be a cracking game. Bottom of the table fights are like this.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Going to watch catch up master chef with missus instead.

    2. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      1-1

  20. MagicMessi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    LAugh as you want but I have Ivanovic and Mcburnie actually playing for my team and expecting returns lol

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      McBurnie is that bad that I'd be expecting Ivanovic returns too.

      1. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Haha he'll score mate

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So who do I sacrifce for De Bruyne?

    Ziyech, Grealish, Jota, Bruno, Son
    Kane, DCL

    A. Son to De Bruyne
    B. Kane to De Bruyne for -4
    C. Something else

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

  22. jimmyabs1987
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Son & Jamez to KDB & Jota?

    Have Kane, DCL and Salah already

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why Son out?

      1. jimmyabs1987
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I can’t work any other way to get KDB in. I could lose Ziyech and DCL to KDB and Adams instead?

  23. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can't imagine the scenes here when KDB gets rested next week against Fulham 😀

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

      Will rest in the week

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Possible. See what happens midweek.

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Think he´ll be rested in the champions league and plays against Fulham.
      They are through to the last 16 but need to make up ground in the premier league.

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Through but they need a result against Porto to confirm top spot. I can see KDB starting that game as they are away as well.

    4. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Just had the whole week off. That is why he is by far the best City asset. KDB = PL while the rest is PL + CL

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        But Sterling was rested vs Spurs, seems nobody is safe

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Sterling was returning from injury.

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Good be that yes

        2. Salarrivederci
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ofc nobody is 100% safe, but KDB plays close to all PL matches when fit. Add in the fact, that he had the whole week off resting while others traveled in CL, and City are through in CL which likely will result in another full rest or atleast 45min rest and he should be good to go next week. (K)DB is locked in for now.

    5. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      "Get out of my team KDB !"
      "Bald fraud !!"
      "Season over"
      "LOL at KDB cappers !!"

      .... I can imagine.

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

        "Imagine capping a rotation risk"

    6. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      3 rest days each side of the fixture, so I think he'll be alright.

      Gets dicey when it gets down to two rest days, but he should be fine with three both ways.

    7. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No disrespect to Fulham but it could well be the game Pep decides is a good opportunity trick rest KdB in light of a very busy Xmas schedule, even without considering Champs league which they are already through for.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        *to not trick

      2. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's ok to disrespect Fulham they are garbage 😛

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

      If he was worried about KDB minutes he would have taken him off around 60m today. Rested midweek and plays next week.

    9. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He won't be rested against fulham

    10. NABIL - FPL otai

      9 replies for such imaginary post. Lucky lad.

  24. Salarrivederci

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Game is opening up now.
    4-4-2 with Dallas, 3-5-2 with Jota and 3-4-3 with 2/3 of Wilson, Bamford, DCL and Watkins. Teams more different in the next many GW's

  25. Pedram

    That dream team tho

  26. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Grealish or Jota?

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish. Jota will be rotated a lot

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jack

  27. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is it time to ship Bamford? He's missing a lot of chances
    Thinking of going 3-5-2 and upgrading Bissouma to Jota
    Currently Vardi, DCL, Bamford but funds for Vardi back to Kane

    Mid would be Grealish, Jota, KDB, Son, Bruno

    Thoughts/comments.

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Rather have Bruno over son

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I can't believe no returns from Bamford and Hamez in their last two matches. Both were so close over the course of this match.

  28. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any news on Barkley? Would love to play him vs NEW
