Dallas at left-back as Bielsa shuffles Leeds pack for trip to Wolves

Stuart Dallas (£5.0m) appears to have returned to the left-back position for Double Gameweek 25.

The Fantasy Premier League defender has recently spent a prolonged period in central midfield but Marcelo Bielsa has reshuffled for Friday’s trip to Wolves.

Tyler Roberts (£4.6m) joins Matheusz Klich (£5.2m) in midfield with Pascal Struijk (£3.9m) in the defensive midfield role vacated by the injured Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m).

Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) is the one who misses out as a result of Dallas’ positional change, with Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m) at right-back and Liam Cooper (£4.3m) paired with Luke Ayling (£4.4m) in central defence.

Captained by over 80% over the top 10k for Double Gameweek 25, Patrick Bamford (£6.9m) starts up-front with Raphinha (£5.4m) and Jack Harrison (£5.5m) providing the width.

Wolves are in a 3-4-3 formation for the visit of Leeds, which features Romain Saïss (£4.9m) and Leander Dendoncker (£4.6m) either side of Conor Coady (£4.8m) in the defence.

Jonny (£5.4m) and Nelson Semedo (£5.2m) are the left and right wing-backs respectively while Pedro Neto (£5.7m) and Adama Traoré (£6.0m) provide the width either side of front-man Willian José (£7.0m).

Double Gameweek 25 Line-ups

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Semedo; Neto, W José, A Traoré.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Ayling, Shackleton; Struijk; Harrison, Roberts, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

        If Bamford blanks today, then I guess Fernandes (c) looks like the better option?

        Only reason I didn't captain him was cuz Wolves (a) is a hard game, and can't really see Leeds assets scoring highly.

        I am scared to have him since he might fall in price tonight and I am afraid to not own him since he might rise in price tonight.

        tomorrow will be more clear.

        what to do? get him tonight or leave it for tomorrow?

          Lots of WC sure to be active tonight so it'd be a surprise if he changed

        Why are people talking about getting rid of Watkins? Surely we should be loading up on Villa now!?

          Grealish supposedly injured.

          Strong rumours of Grealish being out, means they will be much less effective going forward.

          Grealish looking like he could be out
          Makes Villa look far less exciting without their main chance creator (particularly when it takes Watkins about 10 chances to score one)
