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.

    Anyone has any idea when Mee and Tarkowski will be back for Burnley?

        Wait for pressers I guess

          Didn't they already have a presser?

        Vardy Party this weekend. Wondering who wants to stop him if they are without Mee & Tarkowski

          Tarkowski is still touch & go.

            Yeah I saw that but he's linked with a move to Leicester too

            So not sure if I should get a Burnley defender

              I think it's West Ham who are the main suitors.

        Please choose the best option for WC GW2:
        A. DCL - Martial - Bruno - Podence
        B. Watkins - Jimenez - Bruno - Hames Rod
        C. Watkins - Martial - Rashford - Hames Rod

        1. R.C.

      • Eleven Hag
        • 7 Years

        Any starting 4.0m def other than Mitchell??

        1. R.C.
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Nope

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 days ago

            🙁

          Buur the only other getting any playing time, I believe

      • Pedram
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Morning lads, pick 2 defenders to play.

        A. Saiss
        B. Justin
        C. Ayling

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          easy one BC

      • R.C.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Best 4.5 def option?

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          I like Justin, Ayling/Dallas, Taylor & Lamptey.

          1. Brosstan
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 days ago

            Is Taylor safe? Didn't start in the cup

            1. Karan14
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 days ago

              I thought he started the cup game last night? But Gudmundsson was stretchered off so I don't think Pieters will be starting LB as he might be used as LM.

              1. R.C.
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                McNeil plays LM?

                1. Karan14
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 3 days ago

                  Not sure I remember Pieters got a lot of mins in midfield after lockdown.

                  1. R.C.
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 3 days ago

                    Yeah but Brady was injured as well at that time iirc

                    1. Karan14
                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 3 days ago

                      Maybe but Taylor should be nailed as he was first choice for a long part of last season befor getting injured. Also Pieters is like 32.

              2. Andy_Social
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                That injury should nail both Taylor and Pieters for the foreseeable.

                1. Karan14
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 3 days ago

                  I really hope so need Taylor for a few weeks before I wildcard.

        2. Brosstan
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Lamprey, Ayling, Justin

          1. R.C.
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 days ago

            Justin and Lamptey are not nailed. Anyone else?

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 days ago

              Lamptey is nailed

              1. Flaming Flamingo
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                He's not, Veltman is a threat and Potter is happy to rotate anyone not named Ryan or Dunk

              2. R.C.
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                No? Veltman can play there?

            2. diabydoesgallas
              • 10 Years

                • 10 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                Jamal Lewis *

        3. Party time
            4 years, 3 days ago

            Dallas

            1. R.C.
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 days ago

              Why Dallas? He is not nailed right?

              1. Flaming Flamingo
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                He should be, unless they make a new signing which seems unlikely

                1. R.C.
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 3 days ago

                  Barry Douglas and Alioski can play LB..

                  1. Flaming Flamingo
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 3 days ago

                    They are both unlikely to start over Dallas when he's available imo

              2. Party time
                  4 years, 3 days ago

                  He is nailed & can play OOP depending on Bielsa’s tactics. He would get attacking returns. Already registered an assist against Liverpool

                  1. R.C.
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 3 days ago

                    Dallas played in the mid when they had injuries. Their first choice 4 Mid players are all fit this time

                    1. Party time
                        4 years, 3 days ago

                        & if an injury occurs to one of the midfielders then Dallas could possibly move to a more advanced position. Isn’t that attractive enough? 🙂

                        He is also nailed as a LB imo

                      • InterUranus
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 3 days ago

                        Players you will see every week in this Leeds team (if fit)

                        Meslier
                        Ayling
                        Cooper
                        Dallas
                        Phillips
                        Klich
                        Harrison
                        Bamford

                        Players who are 75% nailed:
                        Costa
                        Koch
                        Hernandez
                        Rodrigo

                        Ones to avoid:
                        Casilla
                        Alioski
                        Davis
                        Stevens
                        Gotts
                        Shackleton
                        Poveda

                        Unless there's lots of injuries, the team will barely change.

                        1. R.C.
                          • 7 Years
                          4 years, 3 days ago

                          Ah cool, double up on their full backs is too much?

                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 3 days ago

                    Dallas is the most nailed player in the Leeds team. He's Bielsa's favourite.

                    1. R.C.
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 3 days ago

                      Every player in that team is Bielsa's favourite lol

                    2. Warby84
                      • 9 Years
                      4 years, 3 days ago

                      Although Ayling plays 90 mins whereas Dallas is sometimes subbed early

              Werner Watkins Adams

              (4.0 Bissouma Taylor Vinagre)
              0.5m

              -4 taken for Bruno & Watkins.

              Auba to KDB/Raz and will be looking to add a Wolves defender or Podence next week.

              G2G?

                You are GTG !!!
                What are u going to do with vinagre? Again minus to trade him out?
                Surely saiss can match or get more than podence in their easy fixtures? I fancy saiss over podence in 0.5 less.

              Ali and Davies are my problems with 0ITB. Any opinions on solutions please. I can afford to bench one.

                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                I don't think we'll see Alli again. Once they sign Bale, Son is getting moved inside and Bale will go on the wing.

                  Ok, is Greenwood a good option?

                Davies should play this week

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

              Do we think the injury to Gudmunson (definitely not how you spell it) opens the door to an OOP Pieters again?

              1. Flaming Flamingo
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                • 7 Years

                Brady can play there, never know

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                Pieters played well there last season, hope he continues in that position again

            5. Vazza
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 3 days ago

              Would you rather go for a

              A. Single Everton asset
              B. Triple Everton asset

                • 6 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                A. Too small a sample size for a triple up

              2. Patron
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                Isnt there something in between? 😀 from those i guess triple isnt that bad.

                • 12 Years

                I'm on triple and it looks good.

              So finally settled on my wildcard, iv tryed to build a team that will at least last until Xmas neway, haven't seen him in many teams but iv went with grealish only for the simple fact hel be involved with most off villas goals, thanks everyone for your advice this last couple a days, this is my team now

              Martinez
              Taa, saiss, Keane, Justin
              Kdb, Salah, James Rodriguez, grealish
              Martial, werner

              Bench, steer, Bissouma, Mitchell, brewster

              1. Eleven Hag
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                Ferguson for Mitchell?

              2. FPL_trail_runner
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                KDB to sterling
                Martial to Jimi
                Get Rashford in midfield

              3. Easy Cheesy
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                Based on little info do you think Jimi could be better than werner?

                  4 years, 3 days ago

                  Funny you say that, iv toyed with that idea, and part off me believes he could be, I'd really like jimenez but it really upsets the balance off my team, plus I reckon with the amount off attacking players Chelsea have, and the decent fixtures it would be mad to go without a Chelsea attacker, tho wolves have a great run also and I thank itl be a matter a time before wer all rushing to get jimenez in, lol I reckon united should sign him, on an unrealeated issue lol

              Who is your best 7.0-7.5 mid

              Jrod/ Grealish/ Barnes/ Anyother?? (own DCL and Digne)

              1. R.C.
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                Barnes is a good option

              2. Miguel Sanchez
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                JRod and Grealish for me, not sure about Greenwood starts but he is a good option if short on United options

                1. Eleven Hag
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 3 days ago

                  Greenwood will surely start IMO and I dont see Sancho and any other RW happening for us

                  1. Karan14
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 3 days ago

                    Be a little optimistic! We desperately need a RW or Sancho.

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                Between Jrod and Grealish for me. Grealish is the safer choice.

              4. Karan14
                • 8 Years

                In your case I would look at Barnes and monitor Grealish link with Watkins.

                • 15 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                Zaha scored and is currently OOP, although Batshuayi may oust him to the wing.

                1. Andy_Social
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 3 days ago

                  JRod. GREALISH will come into his own if Villa complete deals for that inside left and inside right.

              7. Bring back ole
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                As to be grealish, him and Watkins will link up well

            9. Miguel Sanchez
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 days ago

              Ferguson a more likely starter than Mitchell around GW5 onwards?

              1. R.C.
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                Wondering the same. Apparently Ferguson's injury is still bad and they're considering Clyne

                Think that’s a coin toss, PVA’s return still doesn’t sound imminent

                Not if Clyne signs for Palace

              Burnley defenders are not an option till Mee is out right?

              1. Karan14
                • 8 Years

                Mee was injured throughout Project Restart if im not wrong.

              • 7 Years

              Play Egan or Justin?

                • 14 Years

                I think Justin

              • 11 Years

              Is Pulisic likely to be back this week, or for I transfer him out for Bruno/Kdb

              1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                I'm taking him out for rashford

                1. ste2510
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 3 days ago

                  Mahrez another good option

            15. The real slim shady
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 days ago

              Alli prob need to be replaced for a hit this week.
              But whom to brin in. I can see that many are going for JRod but I think I prefere somone else.
              Current options:
              1. Foden
              2. Greenwood
              3. Grealish
              4. Zaha

              Feel like a coin toss really. 1 and 2 will bring points if securing starting places. 3 and 4 will bring less point but will always start.

              1. DontPiqueTooSoon
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                I think Foden if he get increased minutes now Silva has left. He could be the bargain of the season. Greenwood again is tempting if he gets regular starts but he’s 1m more.

              2. antis0cial
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                I'd be tempted by Grealish, talisman status etc, never going to be rotated and has a decent striker to work with now.

                • 6 Years
                4 years, 3 days ago

                If it feels like a coin toss, probably not worth the hit

              Question for people bring in DCL.

              Why do you think he (7.1) will outscore Wilson (6.5) going forward

              Based on how both teams set up I see :

              - Richa making lots of backpost runs from Hamez in swingers
              - Richa having lots of shots i.e not very creative for DCL
              - Both Hamez and Richa coming inside from the front 3, i.e no crosses from them for DCL to head
              - DCL main creativity coming from the fullbacks
              - DCL will score but not as people project

              Wilson in the current Newcastle system is the opposite, with everyone built to create for him.

              And he has most likely pens.

              - The team and attacking unit is built to create around him

                • 7 Years

                Will the Everton fullbacks be creative and put in loads of crosses?

                  dcl was nvr a target man

                  4 years, 3 days ago

                  They will have to be in the current system i feel. Coleman cannot do this anymore. His attacking numbers are almost zero the past years.

                  Hamez may create if he comes more central - but he likes to shoot alot himself, good for fpl, bad for DCL.

                    u dont need to be central to create, Hamez proved that lol

              I wouldn't be getting carried away with Leeds players. They could quite easily go out tomorrow and get beat with Bamford back to his old self missing chance after chance.
              I watched them a lot last year and they cannot be trusted.

                Double up on your fullbacks a bit too much aye?

                  Far too much.

              Which is better?

              B- Werner > Martial

              RMT
              McCarthy (Steer)
              TAA Davies Justin KWP(Mitchell)
              Salah Auba Havertz (Bissouma)(Reed)
              Werner Ings Wilson

              1ft,0.0 itb

              A) Havertz to James Rodriguez
              B) Save

              Plan is to KDB to Auba next week, maybe with Reguilon now happening, I can save and do Davies to Saiss along with that

                I'd save probably
