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?

    Just looking at a team without a Liverpool defender.
    Enables 3 big hitting penalty takers in midfield.

    Martinez
    Taylor,Lewis,Ayling
    Salah,KDB,Fernandes,Rodriguez
    Richarlison,Jimenez,Wilson

    Steer,Saiss,Bissouma,Mitchell

      Good luck getting clean sheets mate!

      But a very spicy front 7 could be dangerous. Would love to see how this pans out!

      Stop looking

      1. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lol. Just tinkering.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Interesting but it probably isn't balanced enough. Two premiums is max for me.

      1. Zimo
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        But there's so many amazing premium options and not enough good mid priced ones. Think 3 big hitters could be good this season

      You could get Klich instead of Jamez to keep the penalty theme going.
      Would allow you Taylor > VVD.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        James is staying.
        I could downgrade Wilson > Brewster and upgrade Bissouma to Klich and push the other 1m into defence.

    Thoughts on a -4 to move Adams to Richarlison? Have 2.0 in the bank. Surely would pay off over the next 3 weeks no?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Like it

    2. The Senate
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    3. JelliedSpark968
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do it, if you need an extra mil, DCL works too

    4. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Like that move.

    5. tokara
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Captain Richardlison

  3. Bubz
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    This is how I’m lining up this week...

    McCarthy
    TAA, Digne, Doherty, Ayling
    Auba(c), Salah(vc), Rodriguez
    Werner, DCL, Adams

    Button, Soucek, Bissouma, Ferguson

    Yep I have triple Everton. Never thought Id see the day...

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Seems you had no patience with Havertz. I need to ship Vinagre out too.

      1. Bubz
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Correct, one of the worst performances Iv ever seen and plays Liverpool, he’s a gonner for me. Having to ship Vinagre was annoying though

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I may have to do a -4 on Saturday to get rid of him for Saiss.

          1. Bubz
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Think he drops in price tonight which is part of the reason I decided to just pull the trigger now

      2. tokara
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lingard can offer more than what havartz did last game

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Did you take a hit?

      1. Bubz
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes I did Vinagre to Digne for a hit. Had to be done really

  4. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Solskjaer says that Mason Greenwood is "part of the group" for the Crystal Palace game and says that we're "likely to see" Donny van de Beek this weekend.

    Greenwood start we think?

    1. Bubz
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldve thought so

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would be good for his confidence

    3. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He error was with England Team I think Ole has to back him and best management would be to play him and fill him with confidence!

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No crowd suggests yes

    5. ameisin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I hope so. I'm considering taking a hit to do Pereira > Greenwood.

      Risky, but I can't see W Brom getting anything from Everton.

    6. Quality St
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I do think VDB is that raging bull just waiting for the gates to open though. I think he will be in the opposition box every chance he gets

    7. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lol.......gas

  5. drughi
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Werner>Martial wort a go ? Saves 0.5 so I can upgrade Barnes>Greenwood/James or ASM>6.0 mid or possible a 4.5 defender>saiss/james.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe, maybe not. Werner has West Brom next week.

      1. drughi
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        true but could martial match werner coming 3 weeks ?

  6. Zimo
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How's this team if Brewster joins Sheffield 😛

    Ryan
    TAA Robertson Digne Saiss
    Salah KDB Bruno Harrison
    Martial Brewster

    Steer Bissouma Mitchell Davis

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I dont think Brewster is nailed to start

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        As per all the other Sheffield United forwards, won't often get the full 90 you'd expect.

      2. Zimo
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but if he does then this team is something else in my humble opinion. I'm not going for it btw 😛 too risky. But still fun to think about

  7. Botman and Robben
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    417035 already transferred Werner out. Shocker. I believe the CHE-LIV game willbe a goalfest.

    1. drughi
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1-3

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      SALAH C?

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No, I am sticking with Auba C.

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For Chelsea only hopefully

    4. Andy_Social
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think the supply line to Werner is quite ready yet. I'm willing to give it a couple of weeks to get him in.

  8. FULLSERVICECOVER
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Please help me on this one. For next 2 gws in mind.
    A.Martial (no other man u cover)
    B. DCL (no other everton cover)
    C. Save transfer keep werner.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer b

    3. Karan14

      A

    4. Exotica
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A: United have a good fixture when compare to eve but in my team i do have both eve and manu to cover.

    5. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      C

    6. linkafu
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

  9. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I opened with Salah and Mane. I did Mane --> Bruno this week and already thinking I should have done Werner to Martial but I do see Werner being a 20 goal season keeper.

    Which should / would you have done? (Salah in your team)

    A) Mane --> Bruno
    B) Werner --> Martial

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Warby84
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B
      Mane will do well this GW & Martial does very well at home

    4. No Professionals
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      don't beat yourself up. i think you made the right call personally.

    5. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would have rolled FT

  10. Maddamotha
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Yay or nay

    Davies > Shaw?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Neigh

    2. wheato
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If no other fires

    3. The Senate
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      if that's your only issue then defo yes. Not worth a hit though...

  11. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    As a Greenwood's owner, the Man U press con makes my relieved a bit.

    1. Big Hippo
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How so? I was planning on bringing him in but can't be sure he'll start?

      1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It sounds more likely that Pogba will be benched for the game.

  12. Fhroozt
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Just started a league with a couple of friends beginning with GW2. Having a tough time choosing between 4 players as im not sure if James and Jorginho will be playing.

    A: Reece James + Jorginho
    B: Saiss + Dendoncker

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Exotica
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Reece is solid option for me but Jorgy is quite too risk there is many option like hendrix, soucek , Phillip etc.

      Same as option B, Wolve have a great fixture from GW but Dendoncker is not the best pick too

  13. Lignja
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Not rly happy with some of players, should i use hit for someone, ft was Mane to Kdb

    Nyland
    Taa, Justin, Struijk
    Salah, Auba, Kdb, Havertz, Asm
    Wilson, Mitrovic

    McCarthy, Davis, Mitchell, Vinagre

    1. FULLSERVICECOVER
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      no hit.g2g

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Seems gtg for gw2

  14. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The FFS scout is still not working for me. Can't access anything from the main menu such as team news etc. Been happening since yesterday for me. Anybody else?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Working fine for me but somebody else said this earlier, I will flag it up.

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, working on this now.

      The main menu button isn't working for me either - everything works on desktop though

  15. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Alli to James or save FT?

    1. dr.No88
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Save this gw

    2. Ballistics
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do it

      1. In a Rush
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        The move I’ve made so yes from me

  16. Punty McPuntface
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can everyone please sell Mane.

    I want his price to be nice and low for when Alcantara gets fixed into that midfield!

    1. Ballistics
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If he blanks again your wish may come true.

    2. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I sold him for you lad. Brought in Bruno. He will be coming straight back in!

    3. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would but i went with salah

  17. AD2110
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling or KDB?

    1. Ballistics
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m waiting a week.

      1. AD2110
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeahh this is for the next gameweek. But will be priced out if they rise so will most likely have to hit the button tomorrow

    2. Lignja
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If u C than probably Sterling, but Kdb is one u will not whant to change all season imo..

  18. Ballistics
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I think I’ve cracked it for my WC team
    aka Alli Bye Bye

    Ryan (Button)
    Digne TAA Justin (Lamptey Mitchell)
    Salah Auba Hames (McCarthy Bissouma)
    Martial Jimi DCL

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The lesser spotted 3-3-3

      1. Bubz
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        The “power bench”

      2. HugoSimpson2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        A bold move Cotton, let's see if it pays off

    2. Ballistics
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haha bit eager with the brackets. Lamptey is in a back 4.

    3. Ballistics
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bench does look weak tbf

    4. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd do Trent and lamptey to Robertson and Saiss

  19. dr.No88
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hello
    Wc team

    Steer- Martinez
    Show- Justin - Lewis- Saiss- Mitchell
    Salah - Aubameyang - Bruno- Hendrick- Bissouma
    Jimenez- DCL- Martial/ Richarlison?
    . GW 3 Aubameyang to KDB and maby take a hit to Werner. GW4 i will back Liverpool defender.

    1. Ballistics
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Defence needs another look maybe?

      1. dr.No88
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Like what

  20. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    GTG?

    McCarthy
    TAA,Doherty, Justin
    Salah, Auba (C), Son, JWP, ASM
    Adams, Martial (VC)

    Subs: Nyland, Reese James, Mitchell, Davis

  21. RichieW
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is KDB likely to rise before the deadline?

    1. DandyDon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably

      1. RichieW
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

        Was tempted to put Auba in for (C) but prob no point as I would likely take him back out next week

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No, think Manc players prices are frozen til GW2 deadline

      1. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        GW2 deadline or end of GW2? Makes a significant difference. I want to switch Auba (plays Saturday) with KDB (plays Monday) without losing money if Kev rises on Sat/Sun night. Which is it to be?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Saturday night

          1. RichieW
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            So I can have Auba and transfer to KDB when game week starts and not miss the rise?

            1. Andy_Social
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Yes, but you'd have to do it before KDB plays. If he gets injured, you're stuffed (I'm in the same boat).

              1. RichieW
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Cheers guys

    3. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably not

    4. Bubz
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

  22. Aussie Rules
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Klich or Harrison the better Leeds option?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      KLI

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like Harrison though he can’t play in GW4 and Klich may be on pens.

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

      Harrison

  23. wulfrunian
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do you think that Rudiger will start?

    1. DandyDon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I thought him and Azpilicueta would 1st game but they didn’t so No.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

  24. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Start Egan or Saiss?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Egan

    2. linkafu
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Saiss a season keeper. He will get more interesting game than Egan IMO

  25. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth a hit to do one of Ings or Werner to Martial?

    1. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you're captaining yes otherwise not really

      1. Zimo
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe do ings to martial though. He played midweek game as well as the palace game and the way hassenhutl sets up his teams i think ings has a chance to be benched against spurs or play only 60-70 minutes

        Think I've got to go Auba captain. Just worried about no Manchester cover, I guess I'll have to risk it this week

    Already di my FT and still have Alli, B.Davies, Adams in my team... I'm afraid I have to use my WC... Even I keep them for GW2, I will have to get them out in the next week and I m sure i will want to do other transfers...

    What you think?

      You're probably panicking a bit, but up to you.

      Maybe Alli out. Saiss can move onto Saiss/alternative next week. Adams can sit there for a bit; mve when convenient.

      Any Hammer is going to be a nightmare through September. Rather than take a hit, see who looks good GW2 and then make the switch?

        Yes he was a gw1 punt that I regret now it’s just annoying that he’ll probably drop before this Gameweek is done.

    I know Bamford will start against Fulham but don’t see him playing long term unless replicate Liverpool performance if finishing is like last season changes to be made.

    How long term you guys think Bamford will play

      He'll play most games
