Ings and Minamino benched as Llorente returns to face Southampton

Double Gameweek 25 has gone from bad to worse for some Fantasy Premier League managers as Southampton name a rotated squad for their Tuesday-evening meeting with Leeds.

Fresh from blanking against Chelsea on Saturday, and giving away a penalty, Danny Ings (£8.5m) finds himself among the substitutes tonight.

The striker was signed by 640,000+ FPL managers for Double Gameweek 25, more than any other asset but his owners now face an uphill struggle for an immediate return on their investment.

Che Adams (£5.8m) and Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) lead the line at Elland Road tonight as Ralph Hasenhüttl lines his troops up in the usual 4-2-2-2 formation.

However, Ings is not the only one to suffer from the Austrian’s rotation as Saturday’s goal-scorer Takumi Minamino (£6.0m) is also on the bench.

Nathan Tella (£4.3m) and Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m) staff the flanks in his absence, either side of James Ward-Prowse (£6.0m) and Oriol Romeu (£4.5m).

Meanwhile, Leeds make just one change from the side that lost 1-0 at Wolves on Friday night.

Diego Llorente (£4.4m) comes in for Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m) to play at centre-back for only the third time this season, his most recent outing lasting just nine minutes before he sustained an injury.

Marcelo Bielsa’s faith in his first-team personnel means another start for this season’s best-value forward Patrick Bamford (£6.9m), who has produced 19.4 points per million spent thus far.

Stuart Dallas (£5.0m) remains at left-back while Raphinha (£5.4m) is stationed on the right-hand side of midfield.

Double Gameweek 25 Line-ups

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

Southampton XI (4-2-2-2): A McCarthy; Bertrand, Vestergaard, Salisu, Bednarek; Tella, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong; Redmond, Adams.

      That literally was tackle of the season is the funny thing

      1. Fpl_Juggernaut

        Kimpembe vs lille is the best tackle of any season in Europe

      Haha classic, whenever it's a rivals player there could be 10 men in the box and nobody bothers blocking the shot.

      When it's your player Romeu turns into a Usain bolt/Terminator hybrid to deny it

      Dallas and Raphinha owners/captainers robbed one more time
      Cant f believe this

    • ivantys

      Two of the worst defences in the league playing a 0-0...

    • Captain Vantastic™

      Bamford becoming a donkey the week we captain him

        3 years, 24 days ago

        Trippelcap here. Know it was a risk, but almost going into depression. I’ve never gotten anything out of that chip.

      2. Bushwhacker

        He's been a donkey all season. He just gets a lot of chances. Usually.

    • DAZZ

      Wtf was he waiting for like

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Hoping to be taken down for a penalty

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 24 days ago

          He was calculating his dgw points in his head

        • R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Trying to get the right angle

        • Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          He captained Bamford.

        • Garth Marenghi
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Too lefty

      3. MoSalad
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Oh well. On the bright side Ings should come on for his 1 pt cameo soon.

      4. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Leeds used to be a fun team.

      5. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Was never going to be a Raph G Dallas A... it’s a DGW after all, disappointment guaranteed.

      6. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Raphi injured?

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          No

          1. Digital-Real
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            didn't look comfortable after the tackle

      7. Cantona's Kung Fu Kick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        I have triple Leeds, why?

      8. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Ings can come on and score probably still be a net green arrow with all the Dallas and Meslier CS he’ll bust

      9. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        So excited for all these new Raphinha owners to sell him after this DGW flop.

        Had all the points since GW15, want all of 'em after this DGW too 😉

        1. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Same here

        2. LE CHARO
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Many will keep for GW29

      10. Bullet Eder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Harvey Barnes in for Grealish for a hit? Or just play Ben Mee?

        1. LE CHARO
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          I would get Barnes in. Great fixtures after DGW26 for Leicester

      11. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Raphinha should have been booked since he ain't injured

      12. mbglo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        As a triple defender owner in this game, I like 0-0!

      13. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Adams goal chopped off

      14. FPL price manipulators are …
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Just realised that a 0-0 isn't too bad for me. Hold!!!

      15. GROBARI
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        This is why Leeds players are Leeds players...

      16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Raphina should be on 1 goal and 5 assists this gw

      17. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        No Goal I think

      18. Baby Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Is that Ings warming up?

      19. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Leeds double gameweek - 0 goals

        Obviously

      20. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        So why is Tella not booked for trying to get that penalty?

        1. Tambling5
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Referee too embarrassed at his own gullibility

        2. richarlison2348
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          VAR can't give yellow cards

      21. Saka_me_sideways
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Neither team can defend, both love attacking. This should be an absolute goalfest.

        0-0

      22. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Marinar been on the sun bed to long fried his brain cells

      23. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        That conspiracy vs Southampton that was mentioned inn Saturday growing legs...

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Utter incompetence by the ref.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Gave the penalty to get us off the scent

        3. R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Here come Saints fans saying ref decisions cost them a match again

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            "I wasn't ready" . . pathetic.

          2. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Playing Che Adams costs them far more matches

          3. TomSaints
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            I mean it’s so obvious now
