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.

  7. Big_Andy_GAWA

    How did Cresswell drop from 25 to 24 BPS following nothing other than a host of successfully completed passes and a corner that didn't reach his man?!

    Feel so lucky as an Antonio non owner. Another day he has a hattrick this game.

      For 6.2m I'm quite happy with 6-9 points and the prospect of more from the second game.

    My God what a poor poor match from Leeds this has been.

  11. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years

    Zouma on the bench. Great.....

  12. denial

    • 14 Years

    Zouma benched. This is going so badly.

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

      Wow some people benched Kane or son for Zouma

      1. DycheDycheBaby

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

        He normally is. Lampard must not have him in his FPL team 😀

  13. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio was such a good shout, could of had a hattrick!

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

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

        Apologies, horrendous getting my English corrected by a Spanish person lol like I care on a forum

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

    And that’s why you sit on the bench every week of your life Yarma you useless sack of shite

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Haha true

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

    We don’t want to hear Alan ‘monotone’ shearer talk rubbish we want to know what ally mcoyst had in his sarnie at half time

  16. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Poor Marks BB 🙂

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Whose he got?

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        johnstone, bam, raph, dallas

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

          Ouch. Idk why you would BB with so many SGW players?

          1. Pedersen
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Probably because he have full playing bench. I know I won't have 15 dgw players ever, so just having good bench is worth bb

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

              There’s another DGW coming up?

          2. grumpyman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I think the logic was sound. Bench boost can really screw up your planning so if you have a full playing bench with a decent fixture best to get it out of the way.

            1. Cruyff's Eleven
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              This.

              Right decision, poor result. Move on.

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    BB with Meslier, Bamford, Zouma and Raphina 😎 kill me now

        Harsh

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Jeez. That's harsh.

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch

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

    Given you hope of flappy 3rd save, burnley no where near the goal

  19. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zouma, Tammy, Reece James and Werner all benched.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch I brought in Chilwell

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Saved for Foxes 🙁

  20. diesel001

    Leeds massively overrated on here. If they were *that* good they would be in the top 6.

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

      It gets weird at times. Even Mark acknowledged how solid Brighton were against the best attack in the league, then he activated his triple Leeds BB.

  21. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leeds are such a let down!

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

      They were never that predictable in the first place.

  22. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    ffs james on the bench 🙁

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

    Yarma should be off. lucky.

  24. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Yarmalenko is so bad

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

    VAR not see that from Yarma?

    RC surely?

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

    Yarmolenko disgusting choke hold on the Burnley player. VAR do your job!

  27. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leeds aren’t a let down. People just have such high expectations for a promoted team that has a starting 11 and that’s it.

  28. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Yarmo should really be off

  29. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Hold Hammers.

  30. JONALDINHO
