SHEFF UTD TEAM NEWS

Team to play Newcastle: Ramsdale, Basham, Egan, Ampadu, Bogle, Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck, Osborn, McGoldrick, Burke.

Subs: Foderingham, Jagielka, Bryan, Lowe, Brewster, Mousset, Sharp.

Fantastic news - Fraser starts. He is quality.

Brewster in a few teams I've seen. Benched as kinda expected. I went with Davis to save funds and spread elsewhere.

My keeper starts and no sub goalie. So that's one thing out of my mind.

All the most transferred in Newcastle defensive assists start too.

Dice75 · 12-01-2021 6:06pm

Any disater predictions....

Leno injured in warmup
KDB rested and gets 10 min blank, Brighton score a goal.
Son red after 20 mins, Kane ankle busted.
Burnley 1-0 with Maguire OG
Arsenal 0-0 with Laca missing peno.

sheroman01 · 12-01-2021 6:06pm

Darlow, Yedlin, Wilson and Burke all starting is fantastic news! With Pep's updates on Cancelo being "tired", I need a playing bench!

Housemate ran up the stairs, he forgot the deadline was 4.30pm. the worst thing was we were chatting about our FH teams all day and he had his set and ready and was holding out until near deadline to confirm, like myself. You'd be fair low!

Hey, he could end up having a valuable FH chip yet as this GW could be a shipwreck, who's to know.

So is he like minus 20 or did he just not make the transfers.

gammygils · 12-01-2021 6:13pm

FH

Patricio
Cancelo, Dier, AWB,
KDB(c), Bruno, Son, Saka

Good balance. I may have went for Shaw instead of AWB and Toby instead of Dier but thats about it.

Interestingly enough no1 seems to have picked Richarlison who is notoriously well known for scoring vs Wolves....... one to watch tonight. may put a bet on actually

He just took the screenshots of his FH team was all. Didn't even make any transfers and only has 3 or so players if even and not even sure if armband will end up on Bruno. Game waiting to load up to see the carange he has to face.

ElTel · 12-01-2021 6:15pm

-8
Leno
Holding Stones Cancelo
KDB (C) Son Fernandez Burke
Martial

Plan to BB next week. GL all

Ah here, if he only has 3 playing he should of been FH days ago

He was like myself, holding out until today.

I only hit activate on the FH at 4pm and he didn't do anything.

Did mine at 4:15. Couldn't decide whether to FH or Gamble on 8 players

If games got pulled today I'd have just taken a -8 and fielded 7 or so and went with that and held FH.

That's the risk I took waiting like many others did. But then some just forgot to actually make the FH.

sheroman01 · 12-01-2021 6:40pm

FH time

Darlow
Cancelo, Saiss, Tierney
KDB(c), Bruno, Son, Gundog
Kane, Wilson, Lacazette

Yedlin, Burke and Mitchell on the bench. Hope I'm safe enough with that!

Same team as me apart from Dier instead of Wilson. And you've the band on KDB, I've Kane.

shmeee · 12-01-2021 6:47pm

Someone is paying for a 0-0

By god if it hits it would be a monster score!

Nice! Best of luck. Expect Kane. Hope he only gets one goal :pac:

Lemlin · 12-01-2021 6:47pm

Lloris
Stones, Tierney, Fernandez (Shaw, Mitchell)
Fernandes, Son, Gundogan, KDB (Anguissa)
Kane, Wilson, Laca

COH · 12-01-2021 6:48pm

With so much similarity between everyones FH teams I hope you all fo great because I have the same team too..

De Gea
Cancelo - Saiss - Tierney
KDB (c) - Son - Gundog - Bruno
Wilson - Laca - Kane

(Steer - Saka - Mitchell - Kilman)

Only had 3 players this week so had to free hit... had been the plan for a while so no real stress. Played Gundog over Saka as I remembet Pep saying something about him possibly playing as a false 9 recently ... but then again I may have dreamt that

Ya, came on here to check

Mr.Nice Guy · 12-01-2021 6:59pm

Updated now.

All FH teams seem to be 80% the same in my MLs.

ngunners · 12-01-2021 7:07pm

Was worried for a second. Site updated but it showed my old team pre- Free Hit with only three players. Logged out and back in and my free hit team is there. Phew!

FHFC · 12-01-2021 7:14pm

On the wildcard plan also..

DDG
Cancelo, Holding, Shaw
Son, KDB, Gundogan, Saka, Bruno
Kane, Wood.

Martinez, Antonio, Cresswell, Bednarek.

extra gravy · 12-01-2021 7:17pm

Zero attacking threat from Wilson so far...not too surprising considering Newcastle are playing with 9 defensive players.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 12-01-2021 7:18pm

On FH and made a return to 3-5-2
DDG
Cancelo Reguilon Tierney
Son Bruno Gundogan Saka KDB (c)
Kane Lacazette

McGoldrick Kilman Mitchell

laurah591 · 12-01-2021 7:31pm

On FH this week, but nearly forgot and was in a flap trying to select team at 4.20, I made some mistakes, but here goes ..

Ederson
Cancelo, Alderweirld, Mina, Tierney
McTominay, Fernandes (C), KDB, Son
Kane, Cavani

Subs Smith Rowe, Bernardo & Davis

Time to balance my team and I would have tried to get Saka/Rashford/stones in there instead of Cavanni/Mina. But didn't have time to balance my team

Cartman78 · 12-01-2021 7:38pm

So pretty much everyone in my mini leagues has the same FH team.... Gundogan is literally my only differential so full expect Pep to Pep and ruin any potential marginal gains.

A few odd teams floating around as well....a couple of lads have played the FH but have Villa players on the bench.

Chesty08 · 12-01-2021 7:39pm

How is Bogle looking?

No bad, just had a decent shot saved.

Scorpion Sting · 12-01-2021 7:45pm

Fraser sent off. Two yellows.

alchemist33 · 12-01-2021 7:45pm

One of my rivals used free hit, has a templatey first 11, but left his bench full of Villa, Leicester and Liverpool players

extra gravy · 12-01-2021 7:45pm

Fraser sent off

extra gravy · 12-01-2021 7:46pm

Wilson blank inevitable now ffs

How long does it take to update in general these days? Remember a few years ago it used to be about 20 mins or so?

It often takes a good 45-50 minutes to update these days.

Fantastic news - Fraser starts. He is quality.

Did you have him?

manual_man · 12-01-2021 7:51pm

Idiotic second yellow. Not looking great for Wilson now. It had looked very open for him

CSF · 12-01-2021 7:51pm

Get Brewster in there to take these 10 men on

Shanotheslayer · 12-01-2021 7:55pm

Forgot Newcastle where playing Barcelona tonight.

Sheff have looked good considering they're usually dog

Ginger n Lemon · 12-01-2021 8:01pm

WTF was he doing. Terrible.

I still feel like theres a goal in this for Wilson. Sheff gonna push forward even more now... as long as Andy Ibrahimovic comes on, Newcastle will have a chance to score.

extra gravy · 12-01-2021 8:07pm

Brewster on
Basham off

I feel a bit sorry for them because points wise they are the worst team ever but performance wise they have been half decent in most games and lost a lot of games by the odd goal. Still be relegated mind and not much interest ff wise except with burke tonight for the first time all season who coincidentally looks a shocking footballer no wonder he is the cheapest non def/gk in the game.
