Leeds v Aston Villa team news: Rodrigo returns, Bamford a sub

In the final Premier League match of the day, Leeds United host Aston Villa at Elland Road.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Jesse Marsch makes three changes from the side that lost 5-2 at Brentford in Gameweek 8, as Liam Cooper, Rasmus Kristensen and Rodrigo all start.

The latter returns after a shoulder injury, having scored four goals in the first five Gameweeks.

Patrick Bamford, meanwhile, is among the substitutes.

As for the visitors, Diego Carlos, Boubacar Kamara, Matty Cash and Lucas Digne are all out, which does leave the Villans somewhat short at the back.

That means Ludwig Augustinsson is handed a debut, while Douglas Luiz will screen the back four.

Budget midfielder Leon Bailey also starts alongside Philippe Coutinho and Ollie Watkins in attack.


GAMEWEEK 9 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Kristensen, Koch, Cooper, Struijk, Adams, Roca, Sinisterra, Aaronson, Harrison, Rodrigo

Subs: Klaesson, Ayling, Firpo, Llorente, Gnonto, Summerville, Klich, Bamford, Greenwood

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Young, Konsa, Mings, Augustinsson, Luiz, Ramsey, McGinn, Bailey, Coutinho, Watkins

Subs: Olson, Bednarek, Archer, Sanson, Buendia, Bogarde, Nakamba, Dendoncker, Ings

      Scoutcast special with Mark is needed!

          Looking forward for it

      Hi5 on Son cap lol what were we thinking... just trying to be over smart

    4. Josh.E

      You’re a legend you’ll still finish above 100k

    5. The Senate

      200k to 900k here…

    6. Magic Zico

      Dropped like stone here as well but nowhere near your rank 😆

      Fortunately I can't complain about my season so far and I still have my WC. Poor decision though to gamble against the Haaland captaincy. I honestly thought United would be solid.

  3. Rainer

    Bailey vs Firpo...

  4. JBG

    Leeds players are cursed for me this season. Rodrigo injury first GW I bring him in. Sinidiot RC first GW I bring him in.

    3. chocolove
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I thought it was a good idea against weaker side of Villa

    This is non Haaland cappers helpline. Feel free to vent yourselves below.

      It was ridiculously one-sided
      So much so that I want to get rid of Salah now lol

      1. chocolove
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Salah is non existence right now

      2. PartyTime
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Salah is not the problem. City were playing Manchester United. Manchester United is not a football team.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          😆 what are they?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          United beat the side top of the table right now.

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Thats more grasping than Arsenal fans have been all season

      3. PartyTime
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        If you sell Salah, you would want him back in gw 12

        1. TKC07
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          Why get Salah again? Why can't you get some better value picks instead..

        2. Crystal Alice
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          for West Ham?

        3. Dennis System
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          No ones gonna want salah

  6. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Each rank must be 1 apart, by definition.

  7. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Bailey haul.... 3 pointer

    1. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      booked seconds before coming off

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Errr, no

  8. Alan The Llama
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Sinisterra only owned by 1%. Was hoping it might be higher.

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Can add that 1% to Trossard now

  9. Victor6359
    • 6 Years

    Do you think Tripper’s worth the extra over Schar?

    Cheers

    1. LC1

      Yeah definitely

    2. Bubz

  10. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Disasterclass of a WC. Dropped from 800k to 2.3M. Captained Salah. Brought in Sinisterra for Martinelli.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Tis a game of luck … good …. and BAD!

      Do not be assertive but adjust to the object and you shall find a way through or around it.

        Me too mate!

        Getting rid of sini? Who for?

        1. BeWater
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          I have 0.1 ITB so can go Trossard. Problem is I've heard rumors about the game v Spurs being off and he's going up tonight. Will be priced out if I wait.

          1. Flynny
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Trossard seems best bet

            Why would the game be off?

            Think I'm doing salah to kdb too.... don't want to be exposed to kdb v saints

            1. BeWater
              • 3 Years
              1 year, 7 months ago

              Rail strikes.

                • 9 Years
                1 year, 7 months ago

                Aah. That feels unlikely to me

  11. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    So much for trying to save the FT post wc, I've got Sinisteera to deal with and possibly Mitrovic. Absolutely fuming

  12. Bubz

    God I hate Bailey

    Goodbye from my team Bailey

  14. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years

    I'm just going to expect a 1pter from Aaronson at this stage in best case scenario

  15. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    I know with 120 mins of football left, and all played, can I just take this moment to show off 86 points before my rank is eroded?

    Thanks

    OR 387k as it stands. Not brilliant but I'll take it.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      No

      1. AC/DC AFC

    Bailey one last chance against Forest probably and then out

    1. boc610
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      he wont start after this

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Wasn't too bad? Had a good chance and almost assisted Coutinho

        1. boc610
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          if he's taken off against a side playing with ten men and villa need to score then that doesnt bode well.

  19. boc610
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    ian bailey could do more on the wing than leon

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Bailey the biggest all fart no poo player in a while.

    Almiron has stepped up and is now able to produce droppings.

    1. boc610
      • 12 Years

      pedro neto says hi

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Neto, Bailey, Andreas...

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Neto's so bad I forgot he existed.

        Andreas is grand once people realise his appeal has vanished since Willian arrived.

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I'm not sure if Bailey even qualifies as fart tbh. What's the level below fart? Like one of those ones where you strain hard and it's just like a quiet puff?

      1. Fabreghastly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        A fizzle

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Afaik, that's referred to as an Adama Traore in the medical world.

      3. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Shart

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          A shart is all fart some poo, surely?

          1. Stimps
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            I look at it as a failed fart attempt

            1. Mr. O'Connell
              • 11 Years
              1 year, 7 months ago

              Agree to disagree then

  21. Digital-Real

    Why do i keep playing Bailey

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Post from getting assist and if his team mates actually thinks he is their team mate he would have had 2 big chances. But annoying that he gets off with yellow in a game Vs 10 men. He is 4.7.

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I sold him fir a hit. Brought in Maddison…feels good.
