Meslier missing for Leeds as Alioski starts at left-back again

Illan Meslier (£4.7m) is the latest Fantasy Premier League goalkeeper to go missing in Double Gameweek 19 – and we’re only a few hours into the latest round of fixtures.

The Leeds United shot-stopper is absent from their squad today with Kiko Casilla (£4.2m) handed a first Premier League start of the campaign.

That will worry owners of Leeds defenders after the Spaniard turned in a poor performance against Crawley in the FA Cup.

However, their back-four has retained some consistency from their last league outing. As predicted, Ezgjan Alioski (£4.5m) keeps his place at left-back with Liam Cooper (£4.3m) the only fit-again centre-back returning to the team.

Diego Llorente (£4.4m) returns on the bench, allowing Luke Ayling (£4.5m) to continue his stint in the middle and Stuart Dallas (£4.8m) is at right-back.

Pascal Struijk (£3.9m) has been shifted from centre-back in light of Cooper’s return but stays in the team, this time to cover the suspended Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m) in defensive midfield.

Brighton come to Elland Road relatively short-staffed. In light of their absences, Ben White (£4.4m) starts in midfield again, forcing Graham Potter into including Dan Burn (£4.2m) in the back-three alongside Adam Webster (£4.4m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.8m).

Neal Maupay (£6.1m) returns to the side, paired with Leandro Trossard (£5.7m) up-front.

Key Double Gameweek assets are installed nicely in the West Ham side to host Burnley.

Lukasz Fabianski (£5.1m) overcomes his pre-match doubts to start ahead of Darren Randolph (£4.4m) while Michail Antonio (£6.3m) leads the line following Sebastien Haller‘s (£6.1m) sale to Ajax.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Casilla; Alioski, Cooper, Ayling, Dallas; Struijk; Harrison, Klich, Rodrigo, Raphinha; Bamford.

    Wood is a pathetic excuse for a "footballer". Technique of a 5 year old, just a big guy standing around elbowing the opposition and whining

  5. Zladan

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Will never understand how Woods and Barnes as a strike partnership would ever work.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It used to work quite effectively

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

  9. In Bale We Trust
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rice really played wrong pass there. Expect better

  10. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Coufal owners nearly grabbing for the kleenex then....

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I can feel an areola haul today

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

  12. Gross Blank Point
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Soucek is playing just in front of the defence, holding midfielder style........that's pretty annoying for any attacking potential

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio dive

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon

  15. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Only time I considered Antonio was to replace Wilson when he had a sgw. Fair play to owners.

  16. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Prime Commentary duo much better than hearing Hoddle on BT.

    1. Tigers Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Agree

  17. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This has Soucek tap in written all over it.

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He only scores when I bench him and I've played him.

  18. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rice almost scored there. Antonio almost assist

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

    Rice wasting Antonio A

    1. Das Boot
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      lol
      quite amusing

  20. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Leeds, the most inconsistent team in the PL.

  21. REDMOND IN SANDALS
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    ofcourse antonio will start playing like R9 after a long injury against burnley

  22. Zladan
    • 6 Years

  23. MSTRKRFTSMN
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Triple leeds was a bad call. Just need my West Ham boys to follow suit and it’s a standard double Gameweek for me. Balbuena already kicked that off well testing for covid.

  24. In Bale We Trust
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Physically Antonio built like a tank. Burley lads bouncing off him

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Make a decent middleweight I reckon

  25. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Too many almost posts around here ffs, all it does is make us depressed

  26. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
