Fantasy Premier League Tips: 11 Essential Players For 2019/20 Restart

7. John Lundstram

One of the biggest surprises this season has been how impressive the newly promoted, Sheffield United have been. Despite being one of the favourites for relegation, Chris Wilder's side enters the 2019/20 restart with a game in hand, and pushing for a European spot!

One of their standout players has been John Lundstram, who is their third-highest goalscorer. The player has been listed by Premier League Fantasy as a defender, yet is mainly operating in central midfield, and is given the licence to make late runs into the box this season.

Lundstram has been a regular starter, but he may face some competition for the rest of the campaign. New arrival Sander Berge has now been given the time to settle in England and the opportunity to make five substitutions for the remainder of the season may see greater rotation in Sheffield's midfield.

However, Sheffield United are another one of four teams involved in a double game week, with trips to Aston Villa and Newcastle. Looking at that opposition, there is a good chance that the Blades will manage to keep at least one, or maybe two clean sheets, in the first game week!

Regardless of potential rotation, at the valuation of £4.9m, this is simply an opportunity that cannot be missed.
