Who are the best Sheffield United FPL players for the 2023/24 season?
We take a look at our top three Blades players to own ahead of Gameweek 1, using Hub <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta">data</a> and <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">AI</a> to inform our decisions.
With talisman Iliman Ndiaye set to depart to Marseille and the United squad looking thin at the time of writing, picking three FPL assets is a challenging task.

<h2>Best Sheffield United FPL players 2023/24: George Baldock (£4.0m)</h2>
Baldock comes in at a rock-bottom price for a starting defender.
While there are other options at the £4.0m price point, Baldock benefits from not having a <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-blank-double-gameweek-guide">Blank Gameweek 2</a>.
Playing at right wing-back, he offers some attacking threat. It is limited though, with just a goal and three assists in the Championship last season.
He is one of the survivors from the Blades&#8217; last Premier League campaigns. He had two assists in 2020/21 and two goals and four assists the season before.
It is therefore his price which is the main positive &#8211; but at £4.0m, attacking fireworks can&#8217;t be expected.
We covered United&#8217;s Championship <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> in detail in our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/sheffield-united-fantasy-football-team-preview">team preview article</a>. They kept 19 clean sheets last season &#8211; the fourth-highest tally.

<h2>Best Sheffield United FPL players 2023/24: Ahmed Ahmedhodzic (£4.5m)</h2>
Ahmedhodzic potentially offers greater attacking threat than Baldock, despite playing as a centre-back.
He scored six goals and assisted two in the Championship last season over 35 games.
The Bosnian defender is an aerial threat from set-pieces but can also score with his feet, as demonstrated by his volley against Reading, a game in which he also scored a header.
FPL managers may look elsewhere in the £4.5m bracket, with options including Sven Botman (£4.5m), Pau Torres (£4.5m) and Emerson (£4.5m) among others.
When it comes to Blades though, Ahmedhodzic is likely to be the pick of the defensive options when taking Baldock&#8217;s price out of the equation.

<h2>Best Sheffield United FPL players: Sander Berge (£5.0m)</h2>
The departure of Ndiaye leaves a gap when it comes to an obvious attacking option for the Blades.
Anis Slimane (£5.0m), with three goals and an assist for Brondby last season, could emerge as an option and has scored in pre-season.
Oliver Norwood (£5.0m) should have a monopoly on the majority of set-pieces when he&#8217;s on the pitch.
He is a likely starter in Gameweek 1 but the 32-year-old midfielder&#8217;s place could have been under threat had Sheffield United made more signings. New faces could still end up heading to Bramall Lane, with the transfer window closing after the season starts.
For our third pick, we have narrowly opted for Sander Berge (£5.0m).
The Norwegian managed six goals and five assists last season and has an outside chance at being the Blades&#8217; penalty taker, depending on how their final squad shapes up and who is on the pitch at the time.
FPL managers are advised to look elsewhere for the time being however, with plenty of other options in midfield.
