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.

    Hope Chelsea leak a couple so Zouma at least makes one game.

    1. tuturututu
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rudiger is a better player than Zouma tbh

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        The vast majority of Chelsea fans would completely disagree with you on that one tbh.

        1. tuturututu
          • 3 Years

          I am a Chelsea fan too

  9. JELLYFISH

    No Zouma is disappointing - need Mendy to keep a CS now

  10. Saka Rice

    I'm so glad there are people in my league that have taken a 12 point hit just for this GW. People expect too much from DGW...

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I took a -8. I play the game for fun. If you can't have a bit of fun and take some punts in a DGW, why bother playing at all?

      1. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Absolutely...you can play to have fun or play to win. The latter involves more logical reasoning and a headache of course

        1. Hect.OR 98th
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Well I've always had fun and always won my leagues. This season I'm struggling but still having fun.

          1. Saka Rice
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Me too i had prepared 5 Leeds and Southampton players for the DGW before they got cancelled

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Each hit in isolation. Antonio already paid off for those who took a -4 for him

      1. Hect.OR 98th
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I did just that, but I won't know if it's paid off until Kane has played and Antonio has played again.

        1. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          True

        2. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          The -4 is paid already is what I meant

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane and Son will haul tomorrow to punish sellers

      1. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I kept Son. People will want him back when they get a dgw

    4. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well if it was for West ham defense/Antonio it has already paid of potentially. Lol so this post is a bit strange

    5. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      if u use a 12 points to take out deadwood with dgw players, it will benefit you not only in this gw

  11. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    McNeil is a decent player.

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Zero attacking returns since his solitary assist in GW1. There has to come a point where the output outweighs the potential.

      1. CloudSky
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Speaking from a strictly football side, not fpl. Hard to get anything when you play with the likes of Wood, Barnes and JRod.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Strictly from a football side he's a winger, an attacking player, he needs more output than that. Wood and Barnes should give plenty of assist potential pinging balls to their heads. I get what you're saying they're not a very attacking side, but still.

  12. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Burnley, one more shot on target please. A nice tame header preferably.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't know, prefer sure 4 points over risky extra 1.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        We're greedy out here.

      Bamford Dallas Johnstone here.

      This is going to make me even more hesitant to use my future chips at least.

    5. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years

      Johnstone, Bamford, Alioski BB. Need a Reguilon hattrick to justify it.

    Can't believe I am wasting 90 mins of my life watching that Leeds game. Atrocious!

      It's the year 3000 and Burnley have still failed to score

    Coufal will pop in the bonus soon. Its written in the stars

    1. Hazz

      Has to create a chance or so. Feels like he'll miss out.

    LMAO at that Chelsea lineup

    1. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty sure Giroud is the better striker to have with the way Ziyech plays, crosses from wide. Chelsea score here

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years

      Eh? Its only one player away from first choice XI

        From a fantasy perspective.

      2. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Pardon? James, Kante, Zouma for certain. Havertz very likely, and Werner once he settles.

  20. Fudgy
    • 4 Years

  23. Kellz86
    • 6 Years

  25. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    That was an open goal for Antonio. And it was an easy pass too

  26. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    Yarmolenko doesn’t have Antonio then

  27. Zladan
