The best Leeds players to keep on your FPL radar in Gameweek 2

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.

What were the average positions of Leeds players?

    Play James or Saiss?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saiss

    2. Eric Banternaaa
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saiss

    3. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saiss

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saiss

    5. Patron
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      why is everyone saying saiss? 😀

      1. Holy Boly
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cos James Milner ain't gonna start silly!

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wolves clean sheet chances greater than Chelsea
        Saiss goal threat greater than James

        1. Patron
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          uh, not sure bout that but okay thanks!

          1. Catastrophe
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Wolves tend to do well against City and they could start off slow. Not much in it really, go with your gut.

            1. Patron
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              yeye u might be right, I thought I was missing something big, thanks mate.

      3. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        more chance of both clean sheet and attacking returns probably

  2. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Average position is quite meaningless. Who spends more time in attacking positions?

  3. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    The use of the same picture for this post confused me. I thought all comments were deleted :O

  4. balint84
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth to get Rashford now if I don't have the fund of Bruno?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Do you want Rashford?

    2. LC1
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm avoiding Rashford for the foreseeable, unless he starts firing right away.

    3. FPL ElasticO
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, his expected points for the next 5 GW are much higher than Bruno.....

    Final draft WC

    McCarthy
    VVD Justin Digne Ayling
    KDB Auba Bruno Doucoure
    Martial Jimenez

    Nyland Mitchell Bissouma Davis

    GTG ? 0ITB

    1. Party time
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I see what you’ve done there 😆
        Doucoure to cover JRod...hehe

        Nice team, it has the essentials

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          other than the best player in the game 🙂

        2. trafalgarlaw
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          haha thats true, can avoid everton assets. thanks mate

      • Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        do you plan to cram Salah in somehow? Would prefer him over KDB and then Auba to KDB GW3 as arsenals fixtures turn sour. Really difficult to get balance with both Martial and Fernandes IMO. Of course, could pay off massively but it just very rarely seems to work out without Mo.

        1. trafalgarlaw
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          was plan going without salah this week, then Auba to KDB GW3

          1. Catastrophe
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            could work out but don't fancy it myself.

            1. trafalgarlaw
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              thanks mate will consider it

      • another bad start
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If Davis is just going to be bench fodd, would it be worth switching to Brewster, i know he's a converted Pool spot but seems in the press he's on the brink of a transfer out so could turn into a playing 4.5.

    2. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Leed's fixtures not so appealing. ..

      1. FPL ElasticO
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Still I will look to have one of Klich or Harrison....

    3. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It’ll be interesting to see how many wildcards are activated this week. As a non-wildcarder, does seem like an advantage moving forwards

      1. Dhanesh Prabhu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Depends on your team. There is no right or wrong activating your wc early. You start fpl with a certain strategy.

        If your strategy is right, you feel confident about your team and holds your wc.

        If it's not right, then you steady the ship by using a wc

      2. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        hadnt even considered WC but all of a sudden my GW2 team looks dire and my WC team looks good for both GW2 and beyond!

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gtg?

      If Vinagre stays at 4.5 until Saturday, will a Auba -> KDB and Vinagre -> Saiss (-4) for GW3 be a good move?

      McCarthy
      TAA Justin KWP
      Salah Auba(C) Bruno(V) ASM
      Werner Wilson Mitro

      Nyland Bissouma Mitchell Vinagre

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Very similar to mine below 11/15 the same.

      2. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Probably just KDB move.

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Problem is, if Vinagre drops, not much I can do with 4.9 after the KDB move.

          1. Catastrophe
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            yeah bit annoying but shoild be plenty of 4.5 options about.

      3. FPL ElasticO
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think Sterling has the higher point ceiling than KDB.... & fixtures from GW 3 are much favorable for Sterling hauls....
        the WOL fixture is the best way to asses city assets.

    5. Eric Banternaaa
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      McCarthy Nyland
      TAA Davies Vinagre WalkerP Mitchell
      Salah Auba Son ASM Greenwood
      Werner Brewster Mitrovic

      Vinagre/ Son > Gabriel Rodriguez?

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Arsenal have bad fixtures after WHU, avoid Gabriel. Not so keen on Rodriguez.

        How much ITB?

        1. Eric Banternaaa
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          0ITB. Tempted to roll it to GW3.

          1. Eric Banternaaa
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            But want to avoid the Vinagre price drop.

            1. Catastrophe
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              maybe just Vinagre to Justin? Good chance of clean sheet.

    6. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Despite not even considering it all week I've pulled the WC trigger! Suggestions for the gaps really appreciated!! 19.5 ITB.

      Martinez
      TAA, Digne, Justin
      Salah, Aubameyang, Fernandes,___
      Wilson, Jimenez, ___

      (McCarthy, ___, ___, Mitchell)

      GW3 Auba -> KDB
      GW4 Use 0.5 to upgrade 4.0 DEF/4.5 MID (below)

      A) Jorginho, Watkins (Bernardo, McCarthy)
      B) Jorginho, Klich (4.5 Def, Brewster)
      C) Klich, James (Bissouma, Brewster)
      D) Foden, Bissouma (Bernardo, Brewster)
      E) Laporte, Bissouma (McCarthy, Brewster)
      F) something else

      (Keen to have some Chelsea coverage for GW3+)

      Cheers!

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A - Soucek instead of Jorginho

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          cheers. Jorginho is my feeble attempt at Chelsea coverage for some decent fixtures. And penalty takers seem to be doing okay so far!!

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            He won't play when Kova is back

            1. Catastrophe
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              thanks. Do we know when he will be back? No chance of him keeping his spot?

      Reading WC teams on here is quite cathartic. At least my team isnt as bad as them.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The WC without any knowledge of 4 teams and only 1 game week is madness, I don’t really see the upside

        For instance an Everton might be marred by a bad performance then it’ll be a case of maybe the team needs time to settle

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          less data = more risk but only time will tell if WC turned out to be a bad decision. But yeah, probably going to end in tears if people select multiple players with a strong GW1 but no proven pedigree who could just be a flash in the pan!

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed lol

    9. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Which is a better combo?

      1. Soucek + Digne
      2. Foden + Rotating 4.5 Def

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Why?

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Because Foden is an awful pick

      2. Gol D Roger
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A , you don’t need a 6.5 with a risk of not starting especially a mid in this year

      3. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        1

      4. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A

    10. sergioaguero67
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If i'm playing a single striker in my formation
      Who should that striker be?

      Vardy/Jimenez/Martial/Werner/Richarlison/Kane

      Currently on Vardy
      Please help

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Aguero?

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Jimenez

      3. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        impossible to advise without the rest of the team. Certainly any rotation risk is out the question so not Aguero 😉

        Vardy, Jimenez or Martial i guess. Probably Jim

    11. Gol D Roger
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Steer
      Taa Justin Dallas
      Salah Soucek Son Auba
      Ings Werner Mitro

      McCarthy Bissouma kwp Mitchell

      I’m so so tempted to hold the transfer so I can go:

      Rashford & KDB for Son & Salah next week

      Which would leave me with 1 in the bank if they don’t rise by the time I bring them in

      I’m also caught as to weather to make the transfer now, I’m avoiding Bruno because I feel Rashford could catch people off guard on fpl

      I think the price changes are making people jump ship on players they will probably want to bring in less than a couple weeks in simply on fixtures alone

      Am I crazy in this plan?

    12. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      On WC. Happy with the team I've come up with but Trent is missing. Is that a mistake?

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Short-term no long-term probably.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers

      2. Flaming Flamingo
        • 7 Years

        Go for the team you are happiest with, you can't have them all

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Can't have them all.. trying to remind myself of that! (:

          1. Flaming Flamingo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I'm on WC as well, so all too familiar!

      3. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You already know the answer so why ask?

      4. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Only if the players you’ve selected instead fail and he hauls. Short term risk worth taking if you’re on a WC IMO.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks mate

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years

          Like that attitude pal

    13. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      How much do we think Bale will be? 10m?

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        9-9.5

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        £9.5m.

      4. redsallstars
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        yeah i'd imagine around £9.5-10m

      5. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        going to be some serious nostalgia-based transferring in of Bale!

        1. jimmyabs1987
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yes will be one big trap and I am a spurs fan!

    14. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Pick one to play GW2 ?

      A) Taylor (lei)
      B) KWP (tot)

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        KWP.

      2. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        KWP, pretty good going forward vs palace from memory.

    15. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero to start?

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No

      2. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not this weekend.

      3. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Doubt it.

      4. King Kun Ta
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Hmmm....could be a good differential!

      5. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If he comes on he's nailed in my gw3 team

    16. davies
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not ideal, but when would you do Vinagre > Saiss (-4)...

      A) This week
      B) Next week + play Mitchell

      Would be for a hit either way...

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        B - Vinagre could return and save you a hit

        1. davies
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          True but after last night I doubt it

    17. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What do you fancy the score to be in the Wolves Man City game? I reckon it could be a great game potentially high scoring

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        3-1 City

        KdB 1G 1A
        Jimenez G

      2. Flaming Flamingo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        My guess would be 1-2

      3. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        1-2

      4. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling brace to put cat amongst the pigeons 1-3

      5. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cagey affair imo

      6. FDMS All Starz
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Probably a boring 1-1 with Dendonker and Bilva scoring

        1. LangerznMash
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          ^ something like this

      Who do i get as a one week punt before WC in GW3?

      Mccarthy
      TAA, Digne, Dallas
      Salah, Auba, Klich, Pereira
      Werner, DCL, Ings

      Nuland, Justin, Reed, Ferguson (4.0)
      0.0 ITB, 1FT

      A - Ings -> Bamford
      B - Ings -> Richarlison
      C - Werner -> Martial

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        C for me

      2. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Richa, he is due a brace in this game

      3. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        C

      4. Flaming Flamingo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        B or C look good

      5. Old Gregg
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Tough between B or C.

        C. Although Palace got a clean sheet in their last game their defence is pretty makeshift.

      Thoughts on this WC team plz

      Martinez
      Robbo Digne Shaw Taylor Saiss
      Auba KDB Rashford Foden /Bissouma/
      Jimenez DCL /Brewster/

      - Auba ➡ Salah or Sterling depending on how they look in GW2
      - Would you recommend Foden ➡ Grealish or Barnes?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        think grealish if you want guaranteed starter. he should get more points this season with watkins up front

      Who will take pens for Villa?

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        El Ghazi or Grealish

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Grealish didn't take any last season though. Think it was El Ghazi.

          1. Chandler Bing
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Grealish took one and he missed it.

          2. Party time
              3 years, 6 months ago

              He missed one at Bramall Lane. Kicked the ball out of the stadium

              1. Party time
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  woodwork rather*

            • Party time
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Grealish does not have enough balls to take a pen. I remember how he chickened out last season when I had him in my team only for El Ghazi to be the courageous one

            • Miguel Sanchez
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              El Ghazi or Trezeguet?

              1. Karan14
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Hoping they give penalty duties to Watkins.

                1. Miguel Sanchez
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Poor record 1/4

                  1. Karan14
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Yes I did see that but they don't seem to have many better options.

            • Chandler Bing
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Watkins/Grealish/El Ghazy

              Between the first 2 if El Ghazy is benched for Traore (which is likely)

              1. Karan14
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Hoping it's Watkins. Cheers!

            Is it safe to assume Pep will use a single pivot against non top teams and a double pivot against top teams?

            1. Gregor
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I wouldn’t say safe, no.

            2. Karan14
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Think we could Rodri & Gundo used in a lot of games this season unless Foden or Bilva cement a spot in the midfield.

              1. R.C
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah I feel he favours Gundo more than Foden

            3. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              It's never safe to assume anything with pep. He randomly went with 3 DMs against Lyon in the CL for no reason at all

            4. Vazza
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Please don’t use the words “safe” and “pep” in the same sentence

          4. R.C
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Is there a case for Digne being better value than TAA?

            Like TAA has lost some crosses and FKs, right?

            And Everton may keep more clean sheets

            1. Miguel Sanchez
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I think there is a case that Robertson is better value than TAA

              Digne should be the best of the rest after the Liverpool trio

            2. Flaming Flamingo
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I don't think there is. Trent will probably take more set pieces, be more attacking from open play and I still think Liverpool have a better defence

              1. Vazza
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                This. With Pickford in goal and Coleman, Keane and Mina, the other guys in the defensive back line, I wouldn’t expect too many clean sheets. Digne is slightly injury prone too.

            3. FDMS All Starz
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              It’s been one game, if Everton lose to West Brom conceding then everyone will be rushing to sell their Everton assets again. I’d wait and see personally

            Chance Mitrovic starting..?

              • Has Moderation Rights

              Nailed on.

            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I need to decide if to play Soucek (v Arsenal) or Davis (v SHU).

            Is Davis a likely starter for Villa?

            1. Miguel Sanchez
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Soucek

            2. Gregor
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              No, play Soucek.

            Anyone feeling concerned without Salah in their teams.. ?

              Anyone?

              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              yes but I had a plan and committing to it.
              Need a plan to get him back in though. Will look to get him in from GW4.
