Leeds defence boosted by return of Cooper as Mitrovic starts for Fulham

Fantasy Premier League managers will get a first look at Leeds’ defence with their club captain involved today.

Liam Cooper (£4.5m) missed the Gameweek 1 trip to Liverpool with a minor injury and watched his colleagues concede four times.

Gameweek 2 appears to be more of a standard fixture for the Whites this season and, with interest in Stuart Dallas (£4.5m) and Luke Ayling (£4.5m), his contribution will certainly something to watch today.

Outside of that change, Marcelo Bielsa has retained faith in the other 10 players from the Anfield loss.

As Pascal Struijk (£4.0m) drops to the bench, there are second starts of the campaign for Patrick Bamford (£5.6m), Jack Harrison (£5.5m), Mateusz Klich (£5.5m), Hélder Costa (£5.5m) and Pablo Hernández (£6.0m).

Fulham are boosted by a returning player of their own, as Aleksandar Mitrović (£6.0m) comes into the starting line-up after a minor injury forced Scott Parker to bench him for Gameweek 1.

The Serbian forward is supported by a three-man attacking midfield of Aboubakar Kamara (£5.0m), Josh Onomah (£5.0m) and Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.5m).

Tom Cairney (£5.5m) drops to the bench to allow André-Franck Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) to pair with Harrison Reed (£4.5m) in holding midfield while Alphonse Areola (£4.5m) replaces Marek Rodák (£4.5m) in goal.

Leeds United XI: Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; Phillips; Harrison, Hernández, Klich, Costa; Bamford.

Fulham XI: Areola; Bryan, Hector, Odoi, Tete; Reed, Zambo Anguissa; Kamara, Onomah, Cavaleiro; Mitrović.

      Why did you choose Mitrovic over Adams to sell?

  5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I thought Dallas was more attacking than this? Or maybe staying back because of slender lead?

  6. The Frenchie
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

  15. nobwak

    It’s crazy ironic that you’re called casual if you pick your own team based on who you think will do well, and not casual if you let a forum of other players pick your team for you.

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

      this!

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

      The real tell tale sign of a casual is someone who gets mad about being called a casual. I just call people casuals so they show themselves.

      1. nobwak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        They’re casual picks until they have one good game and FFS members are taking hits to get them, then the “casual pick” label is swiftly forgotten.

  16. Miniboss
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mitro still on 3 bonus?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      wont be after winning goal bps for bamford unfortunately

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

        Isn't it Costa winning goal?

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

        ach, true

    Hello everyone, is the livefpl ranking broken? I scored 17 as compared to a top10k score of 9 and an overall avg of 8 points. Dropped 20k places which seems odd?!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      hits?

      1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…

        defo hits

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Nope, none!!

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      not odd at all. the rankings dont mean much at the moment.

      1. Ci Siamo

        this

      2. POZZY

        Yeah, fair enough... was curious that's all

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      GW2, plenty near you have DCL minimum.

    4. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Any hits?

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

        No hits at all

    5. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      it just means that plenty of people around you (+/-300k) had at least two of DCL, James, Bamfordinho, Costa or Mitro, whereas you only had one.

      top 10k at the moment probably just means you triple captained salah wk1, but rest of team is probably dogshite

      1. POZZY
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Ah, makes more sense now - thanks!

  18. g40steve

    Costa could be the 5.5 to own?

    Anyone else still want to take Mitro out after that game?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years

    Is this gameweek 3 wildcard good to go?

    McCarthy
    Robertson - Van Dijk - Saiss
    De Bruyne - Fernandes - Greenwood - Rodriguez
    Werner - Calvert Lewin - Mitrovic

    Nyland - Taylor - Mitchell - Bissouma

    1. MrZ
      • 9 Years

  29. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mitro should be locked in for his 3 BAPS as Costa got the winning goal for Leeds not Bamford, very close though

  30. g40steve

    Bamford 30k new owners in last 1h 30m 🙂
