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.

    Some inside info for you......

    Zaha is not playing v city, injured.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I’m the source ....

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

      How does Zaha not playing affect KDB?

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        KDB wont get sent off for getting the cheating diving clown kicked..........

      2. Reeker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Could mean that they can focus on attacking because Zaha can't do them on the counter

    3. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cancelo (c) even better. If only I had strength in my convictions!

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

      Surely that means Palace would just defend more?

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That just means Palace are going to park a double decker at the Etihad.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Are you feeling confident of a Liverpool goal fest against United and Burnley?

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I'm confident enough to TC Salah. As for how many they'll score, we'll see!

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

        they were never going to play expansive football at Ethihad were they

    6. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

  12. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years

    Benhrama off. Should have been Bowen.

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

    Owning Bowen is so frustrating

  14. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bowen miss

  15. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What's the ownership of West Ham defenders? Feel like everyone has at least one and some have two. Would be better if the CS gets wiped I guess if you have just one

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      nah i want points

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam

  16. Brosstan

    Damn this place should really have a pitch report as a weekly article. If I knew there would be a potato field in Leeds to ruin the silky play of Bamford I would have taken the hit to remove him.

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

      Silky play of Bamford. Oxymoron surely

  17. In Bale We Trust

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      🙁 4 points banked sadly

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Against their non existent centre backs I’d fancy his chances more yes

  20. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago
