Dallas at left-back as Bielsa shuffles Leeds pack for trip to Wolves

Stuart Dallas (£5.0m) appears to have returned to the left-back position for Double Gameweek 25.

The Fantasy Premier League defender has recently spent a prolonged period in central midfield but Marcelo Bielsa has reshuffled for Friday’s trip to Wolves.

Tyler Roberts (£4.6m) joins Matheusz Klich (£5.2m) in midfield with Pascal Struijk (£3.9m) in the defensive midfield role vacated by the injured Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m).

Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) is the one who misses out as a result of Dallas’ positional change, with Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m) at right-back and Liam Cooper (£4.3m) paired with Luke Ayling (£4.4m) in central defence.

Captained by over 80% over the top 10k for Double Gameweek 25, Patrick Bamford (£6.9m) starts up-front with Raphinha (£5.4m) and Jack Harrison (£5.5m) providing the width.

Wolves are in a 3-4-3 formation for the visit of Leeds, which features Romain Saïss (£4.9m) and Leander Dendoncker (£4.6m) either side of Conor Coady (£4.8m) in the defence.

Jonny (£5.4m) and Nelson Semedo (£5.2m) are the left and right wing-backs respectively while Pedro Neto (£5.7m) and Adama Traoré (£6.0m) provide the width either side of front-man Willian José (£7.0m).

Double Gameweek 25 Line-ups

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Semedo; Neto, W José, A Traoré.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Ayling, Shackleton; Struijk; Harrison, Roberts, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

    Raphinha Captain...Lets Go!

      This is the way

        question is...the way up or down? 😀

    Play up Bambi

    Wat time were fixtures announced? I was driving..

    1. Meinhoff
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      2 mins after the deadline

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Seriously?

        That’s brutal.

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        1 minute after the deadline. I am 100% certain it is on purpose. They posted on the PL Youtube channel some FPL related videos from the fpl show, 20 minutes before the deadline, so they know and it is on purpose

        1. Pipermaru
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Pep mentioned their additional fixtures with Wolves and Southampton midweek so it was obviously well known to him back then announced just now on purpose.

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

      Around deadline time

    Who is the cheapest nailed forward apart from Mcgoldrick?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He is not nailed on, I owned him for 6-7 weeks, got him for the double

      1. Bielsa Murderball
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ohh okay...so anyone apart from him who's nailed under 5.5?

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

          Maja?

    2. Jamizz
      • 5 Years

      maja?

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maja best option by far

  5. All For One
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dumb question I have 2FT, if I use my 2FT and bb in gw 26 is that a -4?

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You serious not a -4 hit?

        1. Volley127
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Of course not a hit! Why do you think it would be?

          BB doesn't count as a transfer!

          1. All For One
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I see lol I didn't know that never used 2 ft and a chip!

          2. All For One
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I thought chip counted as a transfer lmao

        2. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          For using your transfers???

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If the player you bring in for a hit plays twice in the DGW some would argue it’s a -2...

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He's already confused FFS 😆

      2. Pipermaru
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I only use that logic if my player doesn't play at all, if it's 1 game vs 2 games it's more tricky 🙂

    3. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It’s not a dumb question mate.

      The transfers would only cost you 4 points if your scores 2 offside goals which are overruled by VAR during the gameweek

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        ^your team scores

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So when to play the BB? I can't play it now since I am on WC

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Useless chip. Just use it when the moment presents itself. I'm gonna write a thesis on the fallacy of the bench boost chip when I have time.

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This!!! It hardly pays off

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Whenever there's a double, you're not using other chips and you have 15 players playing.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        The second keeper is my problem. And I agree it is silly chip anyways

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      27

  7. Matjes_taet

    Thanks to Ben Crellin.
    Playing WC feels right now.

    Got rid of Bruno. Only game that really scares me now.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Haaaaaa thanks to crellin you got rid of Bruno

  8. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I didn’t go through with playing my WC because of the uncertainty, now I feel like s**t.

    Season ruined

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No worries, we can sell Leeds players and Ings. I am on my WC now, It is fun

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Appreciate it mate. But, they play in gw29? Couldn’t you just bench them next week?

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I think having a strong first 11 is a better value than keeping all those lads on the bench

          1. Sloane426
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            You’re ***** for 29 with no Leeds.

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              i have the fh

  9. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What did they actually get from not letting us see the fixtures before the deadline

      Other than a cheap advantage for the people in the know

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Make sure wildcarders did not get their team set proper for 26.

      2. FPL price manipulators are …
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This. A terrible move from FPL. !@!##@

        1. thomashl
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yes mate, hate it...

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            That was sarcastic post. FPL has nothing to do with it. It's PL who did it

      3. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        If the point is leveling the playing field, they should just announce it in due time.

        Agree, now they just made it harder for everyone to plan. I wouldn’t waste (potentially) the most powerful chip on something that was not announced.

      4. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I have all chips left now. Feck PL

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          How is this a bad thing???

    • Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      How to improve the team below guys -

      —————Martinez————
      ———Robbo Dias Stones————
      Salah Bruno Son Grealish Gundo
      ————Kane Watkins————
      Bench: Lowton, Struijk, Brewster

      0.0 ITB, 1 FT

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Anyone please

      2. djman102
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I think you have your answer. Though if Grealish is out for a while, move him to Madd/Barnes

      3. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bench weak but you know that and the 11 looks solid. Don't think Robbo worth his price tag still

    • DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Very happy Meslier started, thought he’d be dropped and had Pope in my team all week but you never know with keepers (and I have two Burnley defenders playing anyway!)

    • Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Whos the best defensive asset besides Digne @Everton?

      Keane not always starting so not sure.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Godfrey is their best defender but Carlo likes swapping them around.

        1. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Thx.

      2. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Godfrey on the pitch. In FPL terms; Keane. Mina out + threat from set pieces. Holgate/Coleman one behind Godfrey/Keane for starts.

        But we’re porous - so it’s Digne or bust imo.

        1. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Thx. Yeah priced out for Digne atm.

    • RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Transferred Grealish out for Raphina, know Grealish will play

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It’s pretty much confirmed that he’s injured. Apparently several of his teammates have removed him from their fpl teams

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Tbf, he's not been on form FPL-wise...

    • Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      To play a decent BB, I would need to take a -8 to replace Holding, Coufal and Raph.
      Probably with Shaw, Dunk and Barnes or something like that.

      Is a -8 acceptable in a big DGW like this? Or should I TC Kane and hold my BB to use it combined with my WC later?

    • Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have no Leeds players. I guess I'll have to make up the ~10 points from 3 players elsewhere.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        certainly wish I didn't bother with Dallas now

    • Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Playing BB in DGW26

      A. Keep Raphinha
      B. Raphinha to Lookman or someone else for -4

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        it is a bit of a dilemma, depends how Villa look - WBA Pereira is on my radar, as is Neto/Traore/El Ghazi

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Neto after GW29 looks gold

      2. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Would just keep raph, he’s been great the last weeks

    • FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Any chance Gundo to fall in price tonight?

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Miles off. At -21

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          but we have been so wrong this season. I am on a WC and don't own him. Want to get him but don't want to loose 0.1m on him straight away

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Nah he's underpriced, no matter transfers out he's not gonna fall

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              but that is 0.1m lost man, i will get him gundo tomorrow

    • Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I finally get in that SOB Dallas and they move him to left back...unreal

    • Joyce1998
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      best moves??

      A- Ings + Digne > Vardy + White/Taylor

      Or

      B- Digne + Sterling > KDB + Cresswell

      1. Joyce1998
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        C- save and keep

    • Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I feel like I'm the only person here without Raphinha. Grealish better play and score...

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'm with you

      2. Parsnips
        • 3 Years

        Number 1 in the world doesn’t have Raphina or Dallas...

      3. Chucky

      5. A. PRISE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Grealish DEFINITELY out

        1. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          How do you know that he is DEFINITELY out?

      6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        90pc of managers dont own

        1. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but all the best managers got him. Borges, Ronka, that chess guy, the others... If I was sure that Grealish is out I would get him too. I always make a bad decision based on roumors so decided to mainly ignore them

      7. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Only 10% overall ownership

    • Chucky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is Gundo a must have for DGW 26? not owning him so far has ruined my season..

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn’t want to go without if he’s fit, Chuckster.

        Too cheap and offers so much value.

        1. Chucky
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          thanks rainy... need to make the most out these juicy DGWs so I can get a top 100k finish....

          1. Sloane426
            • 4 Years

            You and Fudgy should make a YouTube channel.

      2. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Get him mate. He’s an absolute steal at a price of 6m

    • Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Feeling pretty good about next week right now 🙂

      Martinez!
      Cancelo! Stones! TAA! Mee!
      Bruno! Son! Gundo!
      Kane(tc?)! DCL! Ings

      McCarthy | Smith Rowe, Minamino, Mitchell!

      1 FT
      2.0 ITB
      WC/TC/FH intact
      ! = DGW

      Will probably save FT, injuries permitting. How does your team compare?

      1. WWW.
        • 10 Years

        It is looking juicy!

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Martinez! Guaita!
        Cancelo! Digne! Pereira! Castagne! Dallas
        Bruno! Gundog! Foden! Barnes! Raph
        Kane! DCL! Bamford

        then a -4 to take out Raph (BB)

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Cool, seems most are going without Salah - makes me feel better

        2. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Nice. If only I still had BB...

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            ha you're still looking good there, I'm not overly keen on BBing Raph or Dallas, but don't want a -8 either...

      3. Vazza
        • 3 Years

        Wow!! You should now change your name to Deulopass

        Has to be for Ings, funded by downgrade Dallas to Struijk

      Have Son and Bamford. No tempting transfers and 2fts.
      Would you do the two above to Kane(C) + Pereira? for free?

        Difficult to advise removing Son before that DGW...

      Fellow WC'ers would you have done anything differently if the DGW fixtures were released before the GW deadline ?

        I would have gone El Mohamady over White now I know I've I'm getting Kane for Ings, not Grealish for Raphina for DGW26.

      On FH 26 Triple city should be Ederson and
      Pick the other TWO
      1. Cancelo
      2. Dias
      3. Gundo
      4. KDB
      5. Sterling
      6. Foden

        1 & 5

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Have 9 DGW players though but not the ideal ones and can add two more(Kane and Watkins for Ings and Bamford). So don't should I play FH or not?

        2 & 3

        3, 4

          This looks good

        2+3

    • Muscout
      • 4 Years

      How does this plan sound?

      Played WC25, Will BB26, no FH left

      McCarthy
      Cancelo Shaw Dallas
      Salah Bruno Gundo Raphinha
      Kane Ings Bam

      Martinez Barnes Rudiger Dier

      26 - Raph and Ings to Grealish/Neto and Watkins -4 (Gives me 7 GW29 players)

      27 - Salah to KDB

      2 FT until 29 to bring in GW29 players (gives me 9 GW29 players without hits)
