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.

    The way they are running on this pitch, they genuinely cannot turn quick. How can a pitch like this be allowed?

      Jeez. How old are you? This is nothing compared to old pitches were like. This would have been a good pitch 15 years ago and back.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 24 days ago

          The problem with that is this isn't 15 years ago

      Why is the referee disallowing a perfect goal????

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

        Lol, JWP took the FK before the whistle

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

        They took it before he blew up, the ref was right to be fair

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

        Took the free early.

      4. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Because he said to wait for the whistle and the player didn't

          "I wasn't ready"

          Match.Fixing.

          The ref got paid to eliminate One goal. His job is done. A uniformed bag man will deliver the money by lunch tomorrow in an Amazon box.

          Im on WC, they’re all gone.

          3 years, 24 days ago

          It was well documented how Leeds struggle without Phillips but people still went ahead and piled into Leeds. Its looking like no goals scored in either game

        3. FantasyClub
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          That’s what everyone said about Bamford then he hauled then everyone wanted him back lol

      6. DannyDrinkVodka

        Dallas to Raphinha would have saved my week..........classic FPL

      7. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Rank them in order of disappointment:

        Cancelo outside of foot mis v Arsenal
        Coufal s*** his pants 1 on 1 vs Sheff U
        Romeu super tackle to deny Raph/Dallas mega combo

        Best part of 40 points there

        Might just stop watching the matches.

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

          That Cancelo 9 point goal was brutal

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

          Only affected by the first one, used to cancelo dross finishing by now but it’s still annoying every time

        3. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Genuinely heartbreaking stuff

          Nothing coming off

        4. HonestBlatter
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Same collection...just add the Maddison --> Raphinha -4

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Brutal. All those within 8 days as well.

        5. Jimmy Boy
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          I've had all three too, although admittedly don't have dallas for the third. Feel the Coufal one was the biggest kick in the teeth as everyone else in my league had cresswell who had been outscoring cou every week

        6. FPLHaggis
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          I have Coufal, Cancelo, Raph. Brutal. Cancelo the worst.

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

            Everybody owns Cancelo- he’s not differential

            Coufal choking is the far worst for your rank

      8. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Why was that saints goal disallowed? Bizarre.

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

          Ref wasn't ready. Needed to scratch his arsenal or something.

      9. evilfish
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        The Ref has Dallas in his team

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

        I was waiting for this game more than CL games tonight. So yeah....

      11. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Which move to take a hit for?

        Martinez ¦ Forster
        Maguire Cancelo Lowton*
        Bruno Grealish* Rashford* Gundogan
        Jesus* Ings Bamford
        ¦ Saka Holding Coufal

        2 FT, 5.0 ITB

        A) Lowton, Grealish, Rashford -> Konsa, Son, Salah
        B) Grealish, Rashford, Jesus -> Sterling, Son, Vardy

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

        HT 0-0 all setup for Ings to come on a grab a yc.

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          Haha

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

          haha - would be heartbreaking for me though

      13. Im New Here
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Why is commentator so baffled - he clearly blew the whistle after the FK was taken

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

          These 2 commentators are talking a load of nonsense

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

          Why was he waiting? It's insane. He's literally martialing the Leeds defense for them.

      14. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Crossbar challenge, your life depends on it. James Ward Prowse or messy?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        2. Clintymints
          • 14 Years

          • 3 Years

          Ronaldinho... if he’s out of prison

      15. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        I’m just going to accept Bamford blanks now. 135 minutes without a goal, breaking all logic and season long stats.

        Dallas to captain Raphinha was the dream...alas another dream shattered!

          Same same... Captain Raph has been tantalisingly close this GW

        Utterly dreadful 1st half

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

        Chelsea XI: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rüdiger, Alonso, Mount, Jorginho, Kovačić, Hudson-Odoi, Werner, Giroud.

        If this ends 0-0 I'll buy a hat on eBay, smother it in chilli sauce and serve it for tea.

        • 14 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        It's typical that so far my most successful DGW player is Minamino...who has only played in one game!

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

        still can't get over the chance Raphinha squandered

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          See above. Was only just over the Coufal one, then it was Cancelos turn. This is probs the worst if the lot tho.

        2. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Perfectly timed tackle

      22. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Everyone expecting Leeds to be Leeds and ZERO goals in 135 minutes of foot. You gotta laugh it through really...

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

          I’d laugh if I hadn’t TC Bamford. Instead I’ve just finished headbutting the wall for the second time this GW. Fun times.

          1. El Presidente
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            That's harsh luck dude

      23. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years

        Dallas (AVL) to Dier (BUR, ful) for free?

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years

          Nah

        2. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 6 Years

          no way

      24. mezza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Get Ings on the pitch

      25. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Why is there so much Bamford hype on here?

        Guy is absolutely useless imo

        1. tbos83
          • 3 Years

          Bc many of us bought him for 5.9 and his returns have been great

        2. Bushwhacker

          There’s the answer at 47’ lol.

          • 13 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Didn't watch the 1st-half. How close was Raphinia to scoring ?

          1. Jimmy Boy
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            One of the best chances I've seen all season. Had at least five yards on the defensive line at one point

          2. FantasyClub
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            He flopped. Took too long to pull the trigger, enough time for Romeu to pull off a brilliant sliding tackle from behind in the box mind you, then Raphinha goes to ground in “agony” from embarrassment more likely lol covering his face

        4. martyhan
          • 11 Years

          Ings, grealish and holding to Dcl, Barnes and targett for -4?

          Ings was a complete waste of time

            • 7 Years

            I think there’s a great chance he scores if he comes on
