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

1,095 Comments
Share

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.

As this article uses Opta data only those with Fantasy Football Scout Premium Membership can access it in full.

What were the average positions of Leeds players?

      It very well could matter seeing as how often Saiss showed up in the opposition penalty area.

      Saiss.

      Mitchell, saiss more likely to get cards against man city and no cleaner compared to mitchell against utd imo.

    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

                    Too many variables to consider base price IMO (i.e. quality of bench). Even on 6M, I think it would still be Digne for me.

            Foden not nailed but potential hauler if plays, digne the safer bet for starts, still on some set pieces and possibility of clean sheets in the short term. Foden is a monitor mibs before committing unless you have reliable benchers to take his spot when the roulette doesnt favor foden

          Which set of players is better?

          Salah Fernandes Rodriguez XX XX
          Werner XX

          A) KdB + Soucek
          B) Jimenez + Foden/Grealish

          I know it has 3 slots, but I'm playing 4 at the back so only 2 slots needed. B would have Soucek first sub.

          (For FanTeam)

              Is Foden enough cover though for City? I'd also struggle a bit for a captain in GW3. Would be on Salah I guess whereas KdB gives me a C option.

              There's also another choice (but I think it's probably worse)

              C) Sterling + Batshuayi/Adams

                  No.

                  I'm taking back to back hits. My defense is perfect. I just need to sort these two slots out and then I'm good for a while.

                  Playing 4-5-1 or 4-4-2.

                  I'm leaning 4-5-1 right now. I think forwards are very poor value in FanTeam.

                  Lloris
                  TAA Mina Boly Zouma
                  Salah Fernandes Rodriguez Soucek KdB
                  Werner

                  That's what I think I'm aiming for in GW3 with the goal to roll a trannie in GW4 to have 2 FTs in GW5.

          Im committing to the aggressive premium midfielders rotation thing with .5 in the bank this season no matter what happens, seems like the logical way to get ahead with things getting so tight and so many fpl players getting better

              Will be interesting to see the impact of Bale and Reguillon on the attacking left flank too.
