Henderson and Telles in for de Gea and Shaw as Brewster is benched again

The first set of midweek Premier League fixtures of 2020/21 comes to a close this evening at Bramall Lane.

Manchester United are the visitors as Sheffield United look to end their 12-match run without a win, with kick-off in South Yorkshire at 20:00 GMT.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has brought Dean Henderson (£5.3m) into his starting XI tonight, with David de Gea (£5.3m) only among the substitutes.

Alex Telles (£5.5m) for Luke Shaw (£4.8m) at left-back is another defensive change that the Norwegian has made, while Nemanja Matic (£4.8m) and Anthony Martial (£8.7m) are brought back into the fold at the expense of Scott McTominay (£4.9m) and Fred (£5.3m).

Chris Wilder has made three alterations to his team, who are looking to avoid a club record eighth successive league defeat.

Jack Robinson (£4.3m) ousts Phil Jagielka (£4.0m) in defence while Oliver Burke (£4.3m) and David McGoldrick (£5.2m) replace the injured Oli McBurnie (£5.6m) and veteran Billy Sharp (£5.6m) in attack.

Those FPL managers hoping for points from Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) will have a familiar sinking feeling, as the young striker is again only among the substitutes.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.0m) is the most-captained player of Gameweek 13, with 1,275,089 managers handing him the armband for this clash.

Sheffield United XI: Ramsdale, Baldock, Basham, Egan, Robinson, Stevens, Berge, Ampadu, Fleck, Burke, McGoldrick.

Man Utd XI: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, Matic, Pogba, Greenwood, Fernandes, Martial, Rashford.

    I am so confused about what to do now with the DGW in mind. The plan was to bring in Kane this GW.

    What would you do with this team?

    4,1 itb 2 ft

    Martinez (Steer)
    Chilwell, Coufal, Dias, Lamptey, Lewis
    Son, Salah, Bruno, Grealish, Bissouma

      You need to chill. 5 weeks to DGW. Navigate the next 3 weeks first, then have a review and consider your FH chip if necessary. WC sorts fresh start in new year if it all goes Pete Tong.

          That's just the way United approached this game. They put a lot of early balls above Sheffield defense. Bruno is still the main man going forward. Especially when on the counter.

      Absolutely agree. Bruno's involvement was so heavily diminished with Pogba on the pitch plus at times he dropped further back than usual playing more like a 6. Will probably ship Bruno out if this continues to be the case.

      Decide on your chip strategy and start moving towards them. I'd suggest picking either 18 or 19. So either you stock up on GW18 guys and then FH in 19 or vice versa.

    I have 2FT and want to start making moves towards my GW19 team as I think I’ll probably play FH in 18 as it stands.

    Thinking of doing Grealish > Son but then need to raise £2.1m. Cresswell > Coufal covers a bit. Where would you downgrade to raise the additional £1.6m?

    Martinez, Forster
    Robbo, Chilwell, Cresswell, KWP, Branthwaite
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, Grealish, Stephens
    DCL, Bamford, Wilson

    Is DCL > Adams a decent move or are DCL’s fixtures good enough to ignore recent form?

    Aside from dumping KDB or Robbo I don’t see the solution!

    I’m still holding Barkley, but am definitely selling him as part of my GW19 strategy to maximise doublers. I feel like I need to get something more out of him before I sell, but feel like I’m being stubborn/sentimental when really I should just pull the trigger. I have 2FT, if I do nothing this week then may need to take a hit later on.

    A) do Barkley > Raphinha (man), and play either Lamptey or Targett

    B) hold Barkley in the hope he plays (wba), either Lamptey or Targett start and the other is first sub, will require -4 in coming weeks to maximise doublers for GW19
