Fantasy Premier League managers got a first look at Leeds United players in a 4-3 defeat to Liverpool in Gameweek 1 – but are their assets ready for mass FPL ownership?

Marcelo Bielsa’s men certainly entertained the neutrals at Anfield with their bold and free-flowing approach, finding the net three times at the home of the defending champions. Not a bad start to life back in the top flight.

To help refine our watchlist of Leeds options, we have taken a look at that match in more detail to get a better understanding of the Whites this season.

As this article uses Opta data only those with Fantasy Football Scout Premium Membership can access it in full.

What were the average positions of Leeds players?

    Play James or Saiss?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Saiss

    2. Eric Banternaaa
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Saiss

    3. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Saiss

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Saiss

    5. Patron
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      why is everyone saying saiss? 😀

      1. Holy Boly
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Cos James Milner ain't gonna start silly!

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Wolves clean sheet chances greater than Chelsea
        Saiss goal threat greater than James

        1. Patron
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          uh, not sure bout that but okay thanks!

          1. Catastrophe
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Wolves tend to do well against City and they could start off slow. Not much in it really, go with your gut.

            1. Patron
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              yeye u might be right, I thought I was missing something big, thanks mate.

      3. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        more chance of both clean sheet and attacking returns probably

  2. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Average position is quite meaningless. Who spends more time in attacking positions?

  3. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    The use of the same picture for this post confused me. I thought all comments were deleted :O

  4. balint84
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Is it worth to get Rashford now if I don't have the fund of Bruno?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Do you want Rashford?

    2. LC1
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'm avoiding Rashford for the foreseeable, unless he starts firing right away.

    3. FPL ElasticO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, his expected points for the next 5 GW are much higher than Bruno.....

  5. trafalgarlaw

    Final draft WC

    McCarthy
    VVD Justin Digne Ayling
    KDB Auba Bruno Doucoure
    Martial Jimenez

    Nyland Mitchell Bissouma Davis

    GTG ? 0ITB

    1. Party time
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I see what you’ve done there 😆
      Doucoure to cover JRod...hehe

      Nice team, it has the essentials

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        other than the best player in the game 🙂

      2. trafalgarlaw
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        haha thats true, can avoid everton assets. thanks mate

    2. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      do you plan to cram Salah in somehow? Would prefer him over KDB and then Auba to KDB GW3 as arsenals fixtures turn sour. Really difficult to get balance with both Martial and Fernandes IMO. Of course, could pay off massively but it just very rarely seems to work out without Mo.

      1. trafalgarlaw
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        was plan going without salah this week, then Auba to KDB GW3

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          could work out but don't fancy it myself.

          1. trafalgarlaw
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            thanks mate will consider it

    3. another bad start
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      If Davis is just going to be bench fodd, would it be worth switching to Brewster, i know he's a converted Pool spot but seems in the press he's on the brink of a transfer out so could turn into a playing 4.5.

  6. 3 A
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Leed's fixtures not so appealing. ..

    1. FPL ElasticO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Still I will look to have one of Klich or Harrison....

  7. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    It’ll be interesting to see how many wildcards are activated this week. As a non-wildcarder, does seem like an advantage moving forwards

    1. System builder
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Depends on your team. There is no right or wrong activating your wc early. You start fpl with a certain strategy.

      If your strategy is right, you feel confident about your team and holds your wc.

      If it's not right, then you steady the ship by using a wc

    2. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      hadnt even considered WC but all of a sudden my GW2 team looks dire and my WC team looks good for both GW2 and beyond!

  8. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Gtg?

    If Vinagre stays at 4.5 until Saturday, will a Auba -> KDB and Vinagre -> Saiss (-4) for GW3 be a good move?

    McCarthy
    TAA Justin KWP
    Salah Auba(C) Bruno(V) ASM
    Werner Wilson Mitro

    Nyland Bissouma Mitchell Vinagre

    1. Eric Banternaaa
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Very similar to mine below 11/15 the same.

    2. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Probably just KDB move.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Problem is, if Vinagre drops, not much I can do with 4.9 after the KDB move.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          yeah bit annoying but shoild be plenty of 4.5 options about.

    3. FPL ElasticO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think Sterling has the higher point ceiling than KDB.... & fixtures from GW 3 are much favorable for Sterling hauls....
      the WOL fixture is the best way to asses city assets.

  9. Eric Banternaaa
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA Davies Vinagre WalkerP Mitchell
    Salah Auba Son ASM Greenwood
    Werner Brewster Mitrovic

    Vinagre/ Son > Gabriel Rodriguez?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Arsenal have bad fixtures after WHU, avoid Gabriel. Not so keen on Rodriguez.

      How much ITB?

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        0ITB. Tempted to roll it to GW3.

        1. Eric Banternaaa
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          But want to avoid the Vinagre price drop.

          1. Catastrophe
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            maybe just Vinagre to Justin? Good chance of clean sheet.

  10. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Despite not even considering it all week I've pulled the WC trigger! Suggestions for the gaps really appreciated!! 19.5 ITB.

    Martinez
    TAA, Digne, Justin
    Salah, Aubameyang, Fernandes,___
    Wilson, Jimenez, ___

    (McCarthy, ___, ___, Mitchell)

    GW3 Auba -> KDB
    GW4 Use 0.5 to upgrade 4.0 DEF/4.5 MID (below)

    A) Jorginho, Watkins (Bernardo, McCarthy)
    B) Jorginho, Klich (4.5 Def, Brewster)
    C) Klich, James (Bissouma, Brewster)
    D) Foden, Bissouma (Bernardo, Brewster)
    E) Laporte, Bissouma (McCarthy, Brewster)
    F) something else

    (Keen to have some Chelsea coverage for GW3+)

    Cheers!

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A - Soucek instead of Jorginho

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        cheers. Jorginho is my feeble attempt at Chelsea coverage for some decent fixtures. And penalty takers seem to be doing okay so far!!

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          He won't play when Kova is back

          1. Catastrophe
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            thanks. Do we know when he will be back? No chance of him keeping his spot?

    Reading WC teams on here is quite cathartic. At least my team isnt as bad as them.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      The WC without any knowledge of 4 teams and only 1 game week is madness, I don’t really see the upside

      For instance an Everton might be marred by a bad performance then it’ll be a case of maybe the team needs time to settle

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        less data = more risk but only time will tell if WC turned out to be a bad decision. But yeah, probably going to end in tears if people select multiple players with a strong GW1 but no proven pedigree who could just be a flash in the pan!

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Agreed lol

  13. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Which is a better combo?

    1. Soucek + Digne
    2. Foden + Rotating 4.5 Def

    1. Eric Banternaaa
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Why?

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Because Foden is an awful pick

    2. Gol D Roger
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A , you don’t need a 6.5 with a risk of not starting especially a mid in this year

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      1

    4. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A

  14. sergioaguero67
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    If i'm playing a single striker in my formation
    Who should that striker be?

    Vardy/Jimenez/Martial/Werner/Richarlison/Kane

    Currently on Vardy
    Please help

    1. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero?

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Jimenez

    3. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      impossible to advise without the rest of the team. Certainly any rotation risk is out the question so not Aguero 😉

      Vardy, Jimenez or Martial i guess. Probably Jim

  15. Gol D Roger
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Steer
    Taa Justin Dallas
    Salah Soucek Son Auba
    Ings Werner Mitro

    McCarthy Bissouma kwp Mitchell

    I’m so so tempted to hold the transfer so I can go:

    Rashford & KDB for Son & Salah next week

    Which would leave me with 1 in the bank if they don’t rise by the time I bring them in

    I’m also caught as to weather to make the transfer now, I’m avoiding Bruno because I feel Rashford could catch people off guard on fpl

    I think the price changes are making people jump ship on players they will probably want to bring in less than a couple weeks in simply on fixtures alone

    Am I crazy in this plan?

  16. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    On WC. Happy with the team I've come up with but Trent is missing. Is that a mistake?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Short-term no long-term probably.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Go for the team you are happiest with, you can't have them all

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Can't have them all.. trying to remind myself of that! (:

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I'm on WC as well, so all too familiar!

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      You already know the answer so why ask?

    4. HollywoodXI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Only if the players you’ve selected instead fail and he hauls. Short term risk worth taking if you’re on a WC IMO.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks mate

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years

      Own it like we owned the GW1 BB.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Like that attitude pal

    6. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years

      let's see it!

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

        Martial DCL Brewster

        1. Catastrophe

          Nice!

  17. jimmyabs1987
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How much do we think Bale will be? 10m?

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      9-9.5

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      9.5-10

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      £9.5m.

    4. redsallstars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      yeah i'd imagine around £9.5-10m

    5. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      going to be some serious nostalgia-based transferring in of Bale!

      1. jimmyabs1987
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yes will be one big trap and I am a spurs fan!

  18. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Pick one to play GW2 ?

    A) Taylor (lei)
    B) KWP (tot)

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      KWP.

    2. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      KWP, pretty good going forward vs palace from memory.

  19. King Kun Ta
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero to start?

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      No

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Not this weekend.

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Doubt it.

    4. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hmmm....could be a good differential!

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      If he comes on he's nailed in my gw3 team

  20. davies
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Not ideal, but when would you do Vinagre > Saiss (-4)...

    A) This week
    B) Next week + play Mitchell

    Would be for a hit either way...

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      B - Vinagre could return and save you a hit

      1. davies
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        True but after last night I doubt it

  21. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    What do you fancy the score to be in the Wolves Man City game? I reckon it could be a great game potentially high scoring

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      3-1 City

      KdB 1G 1A
      Jimenez G

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      My guess would be 1-2

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      1-2

    4. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling brace to put cat amongst the pigeons 1-3

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Cagey affair imo

    6. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Probably a boring 1-1 with Dendonker and Bilva scoring

      1. LangerznMash
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        ^ something like this

  22. Irish Villan 1985
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Martinez

    TAA, Holding, Lascelles, Justin

    Salah, Fernandes, Rodriguez, Auba

    Werner, Watkins

    BENCH: Button, Bissouma, Mitchel, Brewster

    .5M ITB

    Auba to KDB GW3

    Thoughts?

    Thanks.

  23. afsr
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Who do i get as a one week punt before WC in GW3?

    Mccarthy
    TAA, Digne, Dallas
    Salah, Auba, Klich, Pereira
    Werner, DCL, Ings

    Nuland, Justin, Reed, Ferguson (4.0)
    0.0 ITB, 1FT

    A - Ings -> Bamford
    B - Ings -> Richarlison
    C - Werner -> Martial

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      C for me

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years

      Richa, he is due a brace in this game

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      C

    4. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      B or C look good

    5. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Tough between B or C.

      C. Although Palace got a clean sheet in their last game their defence is pretty makeshift.

    Thoughts on this WC team plz

    Martinez
    Robbo Digne Shaw Taylor Saiss
    Auba KDB Rashford Foden /Bissouma/
    Jimenez DCL /Brewster/

    - Auba ➡ Salah or Sterling depending on how they look in GW2
    - Would you recommend Foden ➡ Grealish or Barnes?

      think grealish if you want guaranteed starter. he should get more points this season with watkins up front

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        thnx mate

    Who will take pens for Villa?

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      El Ghazi or Grealish

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Grealish didn't take any last season though. Think it was El Ghazi.

        1. Chandler Bing
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Grealish took one and he missed it.

        2. Party time
          5 years, 10 months ago

          He missed one at Bramall Lane. Kicked the ball out of the stadium

          1. Party time
            5 years, 10 months ago

            woodwork rather*

      2. Party time
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Grealish does not have enough balls to take a pen. I remember how he chickened out last season when I had him in my team only for El Ghazi to be the courageous one

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      El Ghazi or Trezeguet?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Hoping they give penalty duties to Watkins.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Poor record 1/4

          1. Karan_G14
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Yes I did see that but they don't seem to have many better options.

    3. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Watkins/Grealish/El Ghazy

      Between the first 2 if El Ghazy is benched for Traore (which is likely)

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Hoping it's Watkins. Cheers!

    Is it safe to assume Pep will use a single pivot against non top teams and a double pivot against top teams?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn’t say safe, no.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Think we could Rodri & Gundo used in a lot of games this season unless Foden or Bilva cement a spot in the midfield.

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I feel he favours Gundo more than Foden

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It's never safe to assume anything with pep. He randomly went with 3 DMs against Lyon in the CL for no reason at all

    4. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Please don’t use the words “safe” and “pep” in the same sentence

  27. ☈☾

    Is there a case for Digne being better value than TAA?

    Like TAA has lost some crosses and FKs, right?

    And Everton may keep more clean sheets

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think there is a case that Robertson is better value than TAA

      Digne should be the best of the rest after the Liverpool trio

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think there is. Trent will probably take more set pieces, be more attacking from open play and I still think Liverpool have a better defence

      1. Vazza
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        This. With Pickford in goal and Coleman, Keane and Mina, the other guys in the defensive back line, I wouldn’t expect too many clean sheets. Digne is slightly injury prone too.

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It’s been one game, if Everton lose to West Brom conceding then everyone will be rushing to sell their Everton assets again. I’d wait and see personally

  28. Taegugk Warrior
    • 8 Years

    Chance Mitrovic starting..?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Nailed on.

  29. marcus2704

    I need to decide if to play Soucek (v Arsenal) or Davis (v SHU).

    Is Davis a likely starter for Villa?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Soucek

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      No, play Soucek.

  30. Vazza

    Anyone feeling concerned without Salah in their teams.. ?

    1. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Anyone?

    2. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      yes but I had a plan and committing to it.
      Need a plan to get him back in though. Will look to get him in from GW4.

      1. Old Gregg
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        if i can't then I may Wildcard
