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?

    Anyone has any idea when Mee and Tarkowski will be back for Burnley?

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

      No idea mate

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

        Wait for pressers I guess

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

          Didn't they already have a presser?

    2. Party time

      Vardy Party this weekend. Wondering who wants to stop him if they are without Mee & Tarkowski

    3. Party time
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Tarkowski is still touch & go.

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

        Yeah I saw that but he's linked with a move to Leicester too

        So not sure if I should get a Burnley defender

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I think it's West Ham who are the main suitors.

  2. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Please choose the best option for WC GW2:
    A. DCL - Martial - Bruno - Podence
    B. Watkins - Jimenez - Bruno - Hames Rod
    C. Watkins - Martial - Rashford - Hames Rod

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

      C

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

      A or B it's a tough one

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Don't like United double. B.

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

    Any starting 4.0m def other than Mitchell??

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

      Nope

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

        🙁

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Buur the only other getting any playing time, I believe

  4. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Morning lads, pick 2 defenders to play.

    A. Saiss
    B. Justin
    C. Ayling

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

      easy one BC

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

    Best 4.5 def option?

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

      I like Justin, Ayling/Dallas, Taylor & Lamptey.

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

        Is Taylor safe? Didn't start in the cup

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

          I thought he started the cup game last night? But Gudmundsson was stretchered off so I don't think Pieters will be starting LB as he might be used as LM.

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

            McNeil plays LM?

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

              Not sure I remember Pieters got a lot of mins in midfield after lockdown.

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

                Yeah but Brady was injured as well at that time iirc

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

                  Maybe but Taylor should be nailed as he was first choice for a long part of last season befor getting injured. Also Pieters is like 32.

          2. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            That injury should nail both Taylor and Pieters for the foreseeable.

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

              I really hope so need Taylor for a few weeks before I wildcard.

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

      Lamprey, Ayling, Justin

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

        Justin and Lamptey are not nailed. Anyone else?

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

          Lamptey is nailed

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

            He's not, Veltman is a threat and Potter is happy to rotate anyone not named Ryan or Dunk

          2. ☈☾
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            No? Veltman can play there?

        2. diabydoesgallas
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Jamal Jesus

          1. diabydoesgallas
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Jamal Lewis *

    3. Party time
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Dallas

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

        Why Dallas? He is not nailed right?

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

          He should be, unless they make a new signing which seems unlikely

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

            Barry Douglas and Alioski can play LB..

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

              They are both unlikely to start over Dallas when he's available imo

        2. Party time
          5 years, 10 months ago

          He is nailed & can play OOP depending on Bielsa’s tactics. He would get attacking returns. Already registered an assist against Liverpool

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

            Dallas played in the mid when they had injuries. Their first choice 4 Mid players are all fit this time

            1. Party time
              5 years, 10 months ago

              & if an injury occurs to one of the midfielders then Dallas could possibly move to a more advanced position. Isn’t that attractive enough? 🙂

              He is also nailed as a LB imo

            2. InterUranus
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Players you will see every week in this Leeds team (if fit)

              Meslier
              Ayling
              Cooper
              Dallas
              Phillips
              Klich
              Harrison
              Bamford

              Players who are 75% nailed:
              Costa
              Koch
              Hernandez
              Rodrigo

              Ones to avoid:
              Casilla
              Alioski
              Davis
              Stevens
              Gotts
              Shackleton
              Poveda

              Unless there's lots of injuries, the team will barely change.

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

                Ah cool, double up on their full backs is too much?

        3. InterUranus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Dallas is the most nailed player in the Leeds team. He's Bielsa's favourite.

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

            Every player in that team is Bielsa's favourite lol

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

            Although Ayling plays 90 mins whereas Dallas is sometimes subbed early

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

      Lewis

    5. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Targett

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

    McCarthy
    TAA Ayling Justin
    Salah Auba Bruno Soucek
    Werner Watkins Adams

    (4.0 Bissouma Taylor Vinagre)
    0.5m

    -4 taken for Bruno & Watkins.

    Auba to KDB/Raz and will be looking to add a Wolves defender or Podence next week.

    G2G?

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

      You are GTG !!!
      What are u going to do with vinagre? Again minus to trade him out?
      Surely saiss can match or get more than podence in their easy fixtures? I fancy saiss over podence in 0.5 less.

  7. D.Glynn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Ali and Davies are my problems with 0ITB. Any opinions on solutions please. I can afford to bench one.

    1. InterUranus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think we'll see Alli again. Once they sign Bale, Son is getting moved inside and Bale will go on the wing.

      1. D.Glynn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Ok, is Greenwood a good option?

    2. D.Glynn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Rest of team,
      McCarthy
      TAA Justin Taylor Strujk *Davies
      Salah Auba Ali ASM *Ali
      Werner Ings Mitro

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Davies should play this week

    4. D_R_S_PORT_S
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Davies should play also alli, reasses next GW

  8. InterUranus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Do we think the injury to Gudmunson (definitely not how you spell it) opens the door to an OOP Pieters again?

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

      Could well do

    2. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Brady can play there, never know

    3. D_R_S_PORT_S
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Pieters played well there last season, hope he continues in that position again

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

    Would you rather go for a

    A. Single Everton asset
    B. Triple Everton asset

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A. Too small a sample size for a triple up

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

      Isnt there something in between? 😀 from those i guess triple isnt that bad.

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'm on triple and it looks good.

    4. D_R_S_PORT_S
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Double

  10. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Thought about taking a hit nxt week but would take this gw if needed...

    McCarthy
    TAA Ayling Davies Holding Mitchell
    Salah Auba ASM Pereira Bissouma
    Kane Werner Adams

    A Kane to Martial
    B Kane & Davies to Martial & Digne (-4)
    C Kane & Pereira to Mitro/Watkins/Wilson & Rashford (-4)
    D Save

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Save

  11. In Carrick we trust
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    So finally settled on my wildcard, iv tryed to build a team that will at least last until Xmas neway, haven't seen him in many teams but iv went with grealish only for the simple fact hel be involved with most off villas goals, thanks everyone for your advice this last couple a days, this is my team now

    Martinez
    Taa, saiss, Keane, Justin
    Kdb, Salah, James Rodriguez, grealish
    Martial, werner

    Bench, steer, Bissouma, Mitchell, brewster

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

      Ferguson for Mitchell?

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

      KDB to sterling
      Martial to Jimi
      Get Rashford in midfield

    3. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Based on little info do you think Jimi could be better than werner?

      1. In Carrick we trust
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Funny you say that, iv toyed with that idea, and part off me believes he could be, I'd really like jimenez but it really upsets the balance off my team, plus I reckon with the amount off attacking players Chelsea have, and the decent fixtures it would be mad to go without a Chelsea attacker, tho wolves have a great run also and I thank itl be a matter a time before wer all rushing to get jimenez in, lol I reckon united should sign him, on an unrealeated issue lol

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

    Who is your best 7.0-7.5 mid

    Jrod/ Grealish/ Barnes/ Anyother?? (own DCL and Digne)

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

      Barnes is a good option

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

      JRod and Grealish for me, not sure about Greenwood starts but he is a good option if short on United options

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

        Greenwood will surely start IMO and I dont see Sancho and any other RW happening for us

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

          Be a little optimistic! We desperately need a RW or Sancho.

    3. antis0cial
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Between Jrod and Grealish for me. Grealish is the safer choice.

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

      Freakish

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

      In your case I would look at Barnes and monitor Grealish link with Watkins.

    6. nani is michael jackson
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Zaha scored and is currently OOP, although Batshuayi may oust him to the wing.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        JRod. GREALISH will come into his own if Villa complete deals for that inside left and inside right.

    7. In Carrick we trust
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      As to be grealish, him and Watkins will link up well

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

    Ferguson a more likely starter than Mitchell around GW5 onwards?

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

      Wondering the same. Apparently Ferguson's injury is still bad and they're considering Clyne

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Think that’s a coin toss, PVA’s return still doesn’t sound imminent

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

      Not if Clyne signs for Palace

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

    If anyone fancies a little laugh, go and check out an animation on YouTube - it’s called BALE to SPURS! He wants to go home.

    Let me know what you guys think?

  15. Patron

    Asking only interesting questions on here.

    Pick 4 to play from:

    a) taa
    b) reece james
    c) taylor
    d) justin
    e) vinagre
    f) smallbone
    g) mendy (from Lei)

        im on it. Thanks.

  16. ☈☾

    5 years, 10 months ago

    Burnley defenders are not an option till Mee is out right?

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

      Mee was injured throughout Project Restart if im not wrong.

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

        Ah yeah was out for 6 games and they kept 3 CS in those

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

    Play Egan or Justin?

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think Justin

  18. ste2510
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Is Pulisic likely to be back this week, or for I transfer him out for Bruno/Kdb

    1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'm taking him out for rashford

      1. ste2510
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Mahrez another good option

  19. The real slim shady
    • 9 Years

    Alli prob need to be replaced for a hit this week.
    But whom to brin in. I can see that many are going for JRod but I think I prefere somone else.
    Current options:
    1. Foden
    2. Greenwood
    3. Grealish
    4. Zaha

    Feel like a coin toss really. 1 and 2 will bring points if securing starting places. 3 and 4 will bring less point but will always start.

      I think Foden if he get increased minutes now Silva has left. He could be the bargain of the season. Greenwood again is tempting if he gets regular starts but he’s 1m more.

      I'd be tempted by Grealish, talisman status etc, never going to be rotated and has a decent striker to work with now.

      If it feels like a coin toss, probably not worth the hit

    Good morning everyone.

    In my draft, someone has offered me Jay Rodriguez for batshuai, should I take that trade? Thanks

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

      I wouldn't

    2. Trovsmash
      • 13 Years

      keep bats

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How will City line up against Wolves?

  24. antis0cial

    5 years, 10 months ago

    A) James Rodriguez & 4.5 Mid bench
    B) DCL & 4.5 Fwd bench (Brewster)

    Also, which Utd would you prefer to have, Bruno, Martial or Rash? I was set on Bruno but is he worth the 1.5 more?

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

      A. I'm on Rashford and Martial at the moment

    Laporte tested positive for coronavirus on 7 September

    major doubt for GW1 then?

    1. Siva Mohan

      *GW2

    2. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Didn't he test positive along with Mahrez?

      Saw Mahrez train with the team so I don't think so?

    Question for people bring in DCL.

    Why do you think he (7.1) will outscore Wilson (6.5) going forward

    Based on how both teams set up I see :

    - Richa making lots of backpost runs from Hamez in swingers
    - Richa having lots of shots i.e not very creative for DCL
    - Both Hamez and Richa coming inside from the front 3, i.e no crosses from them for DCL to head
    - DCL main creativity coming from the fullbacks
    - DCL will score but not as people project

    Wilson in the current Newcastle system is the opposite, with everyone built to create for him.

    And he has most likely pens.

    - The team and attacking unit is built to create around him

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

      Will the Everton fullbacks be creative and put in loads of crosses?

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

        dcl was nvr a target man

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

        They will have to be in the current system i feel. Coleman cannot do this anymore. His attacking numbers are almost zero the past years.

        Hamez may create if he comes more central - but he likes to shoot alot himself, good for fpl, bad for DCL.

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

          u dont need to be central to create, Hamez proved that lol

    I wouldn't be getting carried away with Leeds players. They could quite easily go out tomorrow and get beat with Bamford back to his old self missing chance after chance.
    I watched them a lot last year and they cannot be trusted.

      Double up on your fullbacks a bit too much aye?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Far too much.

    Which is better?

    A- Son > Rashford
    B- Werner > Martial
    C-save FT

    RMT
    McCarthy (Steer)
    TAA Davies Justin KWP(Mitchell)
    Salah Auba Havertz (Bissouma)(Reed)
    Werner Ings Wilson

    1ft,0.0 itb

    A) Havertz to James Rodriguez
    B) Save

    Plan is to KDB to Auba next week, maybe with Reguilon now happening, I can save and do Davies to Saiss along with that

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

      I'd save probably
