Vinicius de Souza Costa - Scores first season goal Vinicius scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and made six tackles (four won), seven clearances and one block during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Vinicius was amazing defensively as he always is but this time he also had decisive contribution on the attacking end as he generate the penalty that led to his side's second goal and then sealed the 3-1 win in the 73rd minute with a powerful right-footed shot. This was the first goal of the season for the midfielder, who also racked up 23 tackles, 13 clearances and six interceptions over his last three starts.

James McAtee - Converts PK versus Luton Town McAtee scored a penalty goal and had two shots (one on target) during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact McAtee was having a very quiet performance until the 36th minute, when he stepped up to double his side's lead from the penalty spot. However, the attacker couldn't produce anything noteworthy afterwards and that ultimately led him to be subbed off during the second frame. With two of his three league goals of the season scored over his last three starts, McAtee will try to keep adding to his account during Feb. 18 clash against Brighton.

Max Lowe - Logs assist off bench in win Lowe delivered an assist and made three tackles (one won), two clearances and one block during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Lowe was brought off the bench with just five minutes into the game to replace injured Rhys Norrington-Davies (undisclosed) and made a great impact, assisting Cameron Archer's opener at half-hour mark and being very solid on the defensive end. It's still to be known if Norrington-Davies will have to miss any additional time due to his injury but Lowe just proved to be a capable replacement if someone needs to fill in at left wing-back.

Cameron Archer - Scores opener versus Luton Town Archer scored a goal off two shots (one on target) during Saturday's 3-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Archer had his first start since the calendar flipped to 2024 and made most of the opportunity, opening the scoring for the Blades at the half-hour mark after making a great run from the left. This was just the fourth goal of the season and the first since Dec. 22 for the forward, who will hope this a sign of better things to come. Archer's performance definitely put him in contention to remain in the lineup for Feb. 18 clash against Brighton.

Ben Brereton - Dealing with hamstring issue Brereton Diaz suffered a hamstring injury ahead of Saturday's clash with Luton Town. Manager Chris Wilder told reporters, "He had a tight hamstring, so we had that scanned, and he'...

Impact Prior to missing out Saturday, Brereton Diaz had made three straight starts, though he never made it to the 70-minute mark in any of those appearances. Still, despite the limited minutes, the midfielder still managed to score two goals on six shots (four on target) in those contests. Ben Osborn made his first start since August with Brereton Diaz sidelined and could remain in the starting XI if needed against Brighton on Sunday.

Impact Norrington-Davies lasted just five minutes before succumbing to an injury and being replaced by Max Lowe. More information about the fullback's extent of injury should come following the match.

Ben Brereton - Missing against Luton Town Brereton Diaz (undisclosed) is not in the squad to face Luton Town on Saturday.

Impact Brereton Diaz misses out on Saturday's match with no news of an injury in the buildup. The attacker's extent of injury should be available following the match with James McAtee taking his spot in the starting XI.

Max Lowe - Available as substitute Lowe (undisclosed) is among the substitutes for Saturday's match against Luton Town.

Impact Lowe has missed four straight matches and has started just once in his last five appearances.

Impact Grbic is set to miss out another match with a concussion. Wes Foderingham is still expected to remain the number one keeper for the team, allowing 57 goals in 23 appearances.

Oliver McBurnie - Dealing with calf tightness McBurnie (calf) has been dealing with a tightness in his calf that saw him sit out during last Saturday's clash with Aston Villa, according to manager Chris Wilder per Dany Hall of...

Impact Wilder mentioned Sunday that keeping McBurnie out may have saved him for a more serious injury, which is a positive sign for his availability Saturday. Even if he is ruled healthy, the forward could start on the bench, with Will Osula the favorite to start at forward.

Rhian Brewster - Available for Luton Town trip Brewster has served his suspension and is set to be an option for Saturday's trip to Luton Town.

Impact Brewster is set to return to the bench after serving a three match suspension for a straight red card. He's only appeared in eight league games this season, recording only four tackles (one won) and two clearances while starting just twice.

Ben Brereton - Goal streak ends Brereton Diaz was held goalless during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Brereton Diaz was back in the starting XI for the third match in a row since joining Sheffield united, but was unable to score. Still two goals in his first three matches with the club is stellar, and should keep Brereton Diaz in a major role for the back half of the Premier League season.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Wes Foderingham - Allows five against Aston Villa Foderingham made four saves and conceded five goals during Saturday's 5-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Foderingham had a nightmare first half here as the opposition went on a scoring onslaught and then the fifth goal came in the 47th minute to make things even worse. The goalkeeper had some good moments, with saves that prevented an even bigger loss but five goals allowed are always too much to overcome. That's now 13 goals conceded over the last five starts for Foderingham, who will try to bounce back during next Saturday's visit to Luton Town.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Vinicius de Souza Costa - Makes seven tackles versus Villa Vinicius made seven tackles (three won), two interceptions and one block during Saturday's 5-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Vinicius had another display of tenacity and ball-winning skills, leading all players in tackles as he usually does, but that wasn't enough to prevent the opposition from scoring at will, especially during the first half. The midfielder has been playing great in his first career EPL campaign, but he took it to another level over the last two matches, with 17 tackles, 11 tackles won, six clearances and six interceptions.

Gustavo Hamer - Active off bench in loss Hamer had one shot on goal, created three chances and sent in four crosses (one accurate) after coming off the bench during Saturday's 5-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Hamer was brought off the bench for just the second time this season, subbing in for Will Osula at halftime with his side already losing by four goals. The attacker wasn't able to change the outcome but his team became much more dangerous up front with his presence on the build-up of plays. Hamer, who had three assists over his last seven appearances, will hope to be back in the lineup for next Saturday's visit to Luton Town.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Cameron Archer - Falls out of favor Archer seems to have fallen out of favor within the Sheffield starting XI, having served from the bench in his last four appearances.

Impact Archer began the season as a regular starter, only missing one start in a stretch of 16 matches, so it is a bit surprising to see him drop to the bench. This most likely comes from the forward's low production in the goal-scoring category this season, only having three goal contributions in 10 appearances this season. His stats also haven't been anything amazing this year, registering a minimal three crosses, 18 chances created and 27 shots. The forward will most likely remain in this spot moving forward unless he can find a new gear in the second half of the season, as Sheffield is in dire need of a goal scorer, sitting dead last in goal scored with only 19 on the campaign and Archer does not look to be the fix they need at this moment in time.
