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?

    Just looking at a team without a Liverpool defender.
    Enables 3 big hitting penalty takers in midfield.

    Martinez
    Taylor,Lewis,Ayling
    Salah,KDB,Fernandes,Rodriguez
    Richarlison,Jimenez,Wilson

    Steer,Saiss,Bissouma,Mitchell

      Good luck getting clean sheets mate!

      But a very spicy front 7 could be dangerous. Would love to see how this pans out!

      You could get Klich instead of Jamez to keep the penalty theme going.
      Would allow you Taylor > VVD.

      I like Harrison though he can’t play in GW4 and Klich may be on pens.

      Saiss a season keeper. He will get more interesting game than Egan IMO

    Is it worth a hit to do one of Ings or Werner to Martial?

        Maybe do ings to martial though. He played midweek game as well as the palace game and the way hassenhutl sets up his teams i think ings has a chance to be benched against spurs or play only 60-70 minutes

    Already di my FT and still have Alli, B.Davies, Adams in my team... I'm afraid I have to use my WC... Even I keep them for GW2, I will have to get them out in the next week and I m sure i will want to do other transfers...

    What you think?

      You're probably panicking a bit, but up to you.

      Maybe Alli out. Saiss can move onto Saiss/alternative next week. Adams can sit there for a bit; mve when convenient.

      Any Hammer is going to be a nightmare through September. Rather than take a hit, see who looks good GW2 and then make the switch?

        Yes he was a gw1 punt that I regret now it’s just annoying that he’ll probably drop before this Gameweek is done.

    I know Bamford will start against Fulham but don’t see him playing long term unless replicate Liverpool performance if finishing is like last season changes to be made.

    How long term you guys think Bamford will play
