Phillips boosts Leeds’ clean sheet potential as Arsenal fail to impress

Leeds 0-0 Arsenal

  • Goals: None
  • Assists: None
  • Red cards: Nicolas Pépé (£7.6m)
  • Bonus points: Ezgjan Alioski x3 (£4.4m), Hector Bellerín x3 (£5.1m), Bernd Leno x2 (£5.0m)

KAL-EL, MAN OF STEEL

The return of Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m) to Leeds United’s midfield appears to have boosted the credentials of the club’s Fantasy Premier League assets at both ends of the pitch.

The defensive midfielder, who dropped straight back into the holding role of a 4-1-4-1 formation against Arsenal, was missing with a shoulder injury between Gameweeks 6 and 8, a period where Marcelo Bielsa’s men were often carved open at the back.

During that period, they conceded, on average, 2.7 goals per game, the likes of Luke Ayling (£4.5m) reduced to zero-point hauls on more than one occasion.

Admittedly, there were a few cobwebs in his performance while Nicolas Pépé (£7.6m) struck the bar and Illan Meslier (£4.5m) was called into action to stop a runaway Bukayo Saka (£5.3m) in the second half. But the point still stands: Phillips’ first start since Gameweek 5 coincided with a first Premier League clean sheet at Elland Road Leeds this season.

It also means Leeds have let in just 1.5 goals per game when Phillips has been on the pitch this season, a significant improvement, despite matches against Liverpool and Manchester City.

The short-term upcoming fixtures for popular Leeds defenders are not particularly encouraging, as Leeds face Everton (away), Chelsea (away) and West Ham (home) between now and Gameweek 12. 

However, Phillips’ return should certainly make Gameweeks 13 to 16 appealing for his defensive colleagues, considering Leeds face Newcastle (home), Burnley (home) and West Bromwich Albion (away) during this period.

STUART MIDDLE

Bearing in mind the improved defensive potential at Leeds with Phillips back in the fold, Fantasy managers should take note of two developments in Gameweek 9.

Firstly, injuries to Pablo Hernández (£5.7m) and Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m), as well as a benching for Rodrigo (£5.7m), saw left-back Stuart Dallas (£4.5m) used in central midfield alongside Mateusz Klich (£5.6m).

“For me, [Dallas] is a very generous player, very brave. He participates a lot in the game. He doesn’t have a problem with either foot. He can play in the three different positions on the pitch: defending in the middle and in attack. Apart from that, he has one attribute which is the best you don’t see: that is a very good team-mate and an impeccable professional.” – Marcelo Bielsa

While the FPL defender did not quite hit the heights he is capable of at left-back, the fact he was deployed closer to goal had an impact on his Fantasy credentials.

In the second half, Dallas scythed through the middle of Arsenal’s defence and unleashed an effort that looked destined for the top left-hand corner of the net before Bernd Leno (£5.0m) tipped it over the bar.

His move into midfield also opened up the left-back berth for Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) again. The 0-0 draw with Arsenal was his third start in the last four, he has been present for two of Leeds’ three clean sheets this season and has picked up bonus points in both of them.

WHAM, BAM

As mentioned already, Phillips’ return to the Leeds team also had some impact on what happened in front of him.

Yes, Leeds failed to find the net against Arsenal, but it was not for lack of trying and they will certainly feel unfortunate not to have scored two or three times.

Dominating possession on Sunday, Leeds unleashed 25 shots on Arsenal’s goal, their highest tally since returning to the top flight and the most of any side without scoring since Manchester City’s 26 against Southampton in July. The Whites are also now only the third side to reach such a lofty shot tally this season.

Unsurprisingly, Patrick Bamford (£6.1m) was the spearhead for this free-flowing Leeds side, his total of touches inside the penalty box only five short of Arsenal’s tally as a team.

He pounced on a loose ball in the first half, his close-range effort forcing an impressive save from Leno, before his header on the end of an Ian Poveda-Ocampo (£4.4m) cross struck the post in the second. Certainly more than enough to warrant holding Bamford.

A debut for Raphinha (£5.4m), who came in for Hélder Costa (£5.6m) on the right flank of midfield, also provided plenty of excitement, the Brazilian hitting the post himself in the closing stages.

WHAM, BAM, AUBAMEYANG

By comparison, despite Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.7m) leaving behind the left flank for the first start as a central striker this season, Arsenal offered up nothing more than an uninspiring, turgid display.

They held onto only 33.7% possession against a newly-promoted side and chalking up two shots on target.

That might have been a factor in Leeds’ clean sheet, although the data still suggests they are better off with Phillips than without him.

Either way, Arsenal’s dreadful attacking performance is likely to turn the head of anyone invested in defensive assets at Wolves, Spurs, Burnley and Southampton, their next four opponents.

The encouraging start that Mikel Arteta’s men made to the campaign feels like ancient history already. They have only scored nine goals in as many league games this season, their lowest tally at this stage since 1986/87.

And it is in recent weeks that Arsenal’s lack of attacking spark has reared its ugly head. The Gunners have netted just once in their last five Premier League outings, scoring a penalty at Manchester United in Gameweek 7, failing to find the net against Manchester City, Leicester, Aston Villa and now Leeds.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Alioski, Cooper, Koch, Ayling (Rodrigo 70′); K Phillips; Harrison (Poveda-Ocampo 80′), Dallas, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tierney, Gabriel, Holding, Bellerín; Xhaka, Ceballos; Willian (Nelson 46′), Willock (Saka 57′ | Maitland-Niles 90+3′), Pépé; Aubameyang.

    What do you guys think;

    A. Saiss to Cancelo
    B. Kane to Vardy
    C. A & B for a hit

    1. King Drogba11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’d go A and B, especially if you will captain Vardy over the next few weeks.

    2. Concrete

      If you’re covered in defence b

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN

    Any suggestions? 0.6 off Podence to Kdb
    (1FTs & 5.6itb)

    McCarthy
    Justin - Chilwell - Targett
    Son - Bruno - Rashford - Podence

          Rashford?

          Two United whilst they’re stuttering may be too much?

          1. FDMS All Starz
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            But Podence is a problem? I was thinking between Podence to Jota or Son/Rashford to Salah/Kdb

            1. The Sociologist
              • 5 Years

    What would you do about Hamez?

    Could get any mid up to 11.5

    1. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Surely KDB or Sterling.

    2. King Drogba11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Go to Sterling if you have nothing else to do.

      Hamez has two nice fixtures though where he could easily get returns.

    3. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m binning for a city boy, but that’s because I don’t have DCL so I’m doing the switch around

  9. kime67
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    ayling to dias?

    1. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Or Cancelo If u decent bench cover.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yay

  10. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Probably doing Kane -> Vardy (C). Definitely Semedo->Cancelo, the -4 should be paid off this GW. Shame Foden is still stinking up my team, though I would have 1.1ITB to replace him, I suppose, for another -4.

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I regret not doing Foden to Jota (-4). This could be the week, but will monitor CL-minutes

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      At the minute I don't know how Guardiola can justify continuing to leave Foden out, City need something a bit different. Mahrez, Bernardo, Torres not really doing it...

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's surprising to the fans too, Foden has shown real form so far.

    3. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Are you not tempted to start Foden this week?

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I am, that's why I'm hesitating. Just waiting to see CL minutes and surely, surely after 4 consecutive benching he starts a few. Very possible that I remove him though, at some point it may be better to cut losses and move on.

    4. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I've been close to dumping Foden so many times.
      Other things have always taken priority, but I'm starting to think that's kind of the point. He's a punt but as the only one I have and at 6.5 I might just hold until WC. Start him every week and celebrate when Pep finally does the same!

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fixtures are so good, surely if I've kept him this long then keep.... who knows 😆

        1. claretparrot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          If they both start, I'd genuinely rather have Foden than KDB minus 5mil. That thought is enough to make me hold on

  11. deathcabofdevil
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cancelo nailed on or will be benched if Mendy is back ?

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      See what the CL brings

      He’ll be rested over the next 5 anyway due to fixtures

    2. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm going Dias so I don't have to think about this. Cancelo has to get an extra assist for every clean sheet he misses over the kind fixtures (assuming he does get rested once or twice). Dias also has decent goal threat so it isn't a completely boring alternative.

  12. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What do you make of this -8?
    Kane, Zaha and Mitchell to Bamford, KDB (C), Dias/Cancelo?

    Worth it?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha and Mitchell not starting so just a minus 4 really

    2. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Its hard to get rid of Kane for -8. But i like it 😀

  13. Thewonderfulgame
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any feedback on best approach here - I'm losing Rashford for KDB, which means i'm -0.2m. Therefore need to downgrade one of:

    Foden
    Kane

    Current thoughts- foden game time a risk but a risk perhaps worth taking given fixtures
    Kane an easier downgrade to DCL or Vardy?

    Many thanks as always

    1. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Whose your other mid? I would think downgrade kane for better options, as there aren't any better 5.0/6.0 mid

      1. Thewonderfulgame
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        thanks! - other mids grealish Salah and Son, so don't massively want to get rid of those. Hence figured Rashford was the best one to lose for KDB

    2. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane to Vardy is the vogue move on here, so wouldn't be controversial

      1. claretparrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Just seen you have Son, which makes Kane out even easier. Don't need both for those fixtures (I did Son out and kept Kane, which worked great...)

        1. Thewonderfulgame
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks- yeah i think kane's deeper position doesn't justify the huge outlay despite being on pens

          Eze has appealed given palaced upcoming fixtures but palace seem hot and cold at the moment

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

    G2G for next gw? Also, who to captain out of this lot?

    Martinez (Steer)
    Coufal - Cancelo - Dallas (Lamptey & Taylor)
    Salah - KDB - Grealish - Soucek (Burke)
    DCL - Kane - Werner

    1. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kdb

    2. Denver Omelette
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gtg, Salah

  15. shiraz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Just did rashford > bruno and thinking of taking a hit to get vardy for jim. With vardy rises i am short of cash to do kdb > salah for gw 12

    McCarthy Ryan
    PVA Chilwell Coufal Lamptey Dunne
    KDB Bruno Son Grealish Anguissa
    Watkins DCL Jim

    After doing jim > vardy i will have 0.4 itb. Who to downgrade to free up cash for salah?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Oh dear. Lamptey to a Taylor or even Newc left back if you must.

      1. shiraz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        What about pva > james? Sound good?

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      the rash to bruno transfer is totally unnecessary

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Was....

      2. shiraz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Understand this, that why i have keep faith in rashford for 2-3 gw. But most of my friends in my ml have bruno, with bruno hauling double digits weekly and rashford blanking, i have to get him to at least not be left behind.

  16. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    FFS I got a red arrow with this team and Bruno captain!!!!

    Martinez
    Lamptey KWP Coufal
    Bruno Son Zaha Grealish
    Kane Vardy DCL
    Steer Justin Mitchell Stephens

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      that defence needs work

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Martinez is arguably the best value GK
        Lamptey is a brilliant player, unfortunate to get a red
        Saints have been great and KWP got another bonus point last night
        Coufal kept a clean sheet

        Chilwell Bellerin etc were incredibly lucky to keep clean sheets let alone get bonus points.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      And that bench

      But unlucky none the less

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You would have more than 17m on your bench?

    3. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I mean it looks a good team on paper, but in terms of the red arrow:
      1 clean sheet out of a potential 6 at the back
      1 red card
      2 Covid no shows
      Zero bench cover/points

      Hindsight is a wonderful thing, don’t go tearing it apart unless it’s part of the long term plan

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What's your OR?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Just over 1m again now! Was 900k

    5. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Defence is part of it i guess. Total is below Robertson alone, digne got 8, lots of goalie got 4 or above.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I sold Robertson this week so I could afford Vardy, had him all season, sums up my luck!

  17. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Will Jota start next Gw?

    1. HODGE
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably but if he starts in the champions league then Maybe not

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        i am sure he will start ucl and bench for epl

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably.

  18. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best mid option under 5.3m? Soucek?

    1. HODGE
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah probably, or maybe lookman

    2. spray
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I've had March for a while and am pretty happy.

      Lundstram seems to contribute towards points, though in a poor team (at the moment). He was everyone's favourite last season.

      Lookman...

      Willock if you really want to gamble and feel Arsenal have to call on attacking returns from someone, at some point.

          Might start, but even scoring without starting and cheap too

            Thanks

    With Burnley seemingly looking like Burnley, and City struggling to score goals, maybe it's best to wait a week before loading up on City attackers and see how they perform.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Still worth getting defenders though.

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        yeah defenders is fine

    2. Klaren

      Burnley get terrible results against Man City even when they look their best (check last few season's results). City's form is more of an issue but fixtures could help with that.

  21. Mr. Mystic

    A) Son -> KDB
    B) Kane -> Vardy
    C) Neither

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm in a similar quandry. Leaning to A, but...

    2. MoeZe3bi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same situation. Leaning towards C

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son will be more key during counter attacks against good teams, Kane may do well but I see more potential for assists than goals in the counter for him

    4. Denver Omelette
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B for me

  22. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you want one for the next few gw's? Will likely be captain
    A: Salah
    B: Sterling
    C: KDB

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Denver Omelette
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

  23. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What do you make of this -4?
    Kane and Zaha to Bamford and KDB (C)?

    1. HODGE
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Seams a good move.

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        still dont think KDB gonna do well against burnley

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Good enough

    3. spray
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha to Foden to have MCI in some fashion.
      Zaha still has good fixtures, and De Bruyne usually needs two transfers.

      I think Kane looks too good... returning a score in tough games, doing multiple things on the field... the top team right now, etc.
      It's hard to part with, Vs KDB not doing the same.

      Let's be honest, it's just about fixtures, because at their peak, there's not heaps between Kane and KDB.
      I feel there's too much emphasis on fixtures, and at that price range, maybe there shouldn't be.

  24. MoeZe3bi

    Best mid under 5.3? Or should I simply get a 4.3 mid and free up some funds

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do they need to play? Soucek for a proper option. Riedewald for a 4.4 player.

  25. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who scores more in the next 3/4 games?

    A) Dias
    Or
    B) Jota

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably the one who gets most minutes

    2. spray
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota, because he doesn't have to build form or convince us further.

      Both have great fixtures.

    Repost:

    Morning all, best way to get Vardy and/or KdB in this side?
    I feel like I want both!

    Martinez
    James | Dallas | Kilman
    Bruno | Son | Rodriguez | Grealish | Soucek
    Kane | DCL

    Steer | Brewster | Mitchell | Lamptey*

    1FT, 6.8ITB

    Thanks

      With all that cash in the bank it isn't really an issue, is it? You could do Brewster to Vardy and still have the funds for Bruno to KDB

      1. claretparrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        In fact that's what I'd do, but hold on the second move until KDB/City prove they're going to capitalise on the fixtures

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I was going to do Son+Kane out to bring them in but feel like I'll regret it. So doing nothing for now.

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lose JRod (even Fulham have figured him out) and Harry (you still have Son - though obviously I'm not suggesting coverage, which doesn't exist)

  27. Denver Omelette
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do this move for (-4)?
    Kane + Maupay + Zaha -> Vardy + Bamford + Ziyech

    1. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      i will

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why not just Maupay + Zaha out and save 4 points?

  28. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    no one think Manc players is a trap esp vs burnley?

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Already banked my Cancelo CS and Sterling 3 pointer

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        okay ur cancelo is fine actually. sorry i should say manc midfield/strikers.

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Could be a big trap. Would really be wise to wait and see if City's form improves first

  29. DMP
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Already on (-4), Barkley and Jimenez to Jota and Vardy(C).

    Ramsdale
    Chillwell KWP Target (Taylor,Ferguson)
    KDB BFernandes Jota Bissouma (Zaha**)
    Kane DCL Vardy(C)

    Not keen on playing Bissouma for a 2 pointer, but the alternative is Charlie Taylor. 0 ITB.
    Toughts?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
