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.

    Spent the past 2 days flicking on here every hour or so to see if the fixtures have been announced. Give up and assume it’ll be next week...then log back on for the Leeds match to find I’ve missed all the fun!

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

      was too late anyway

      1. Athletico Underachieving
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Very weird timing. Glad I bench boosted in GW19 now

  2. Top Lad Dakes.

    I thought Ayling was a LB and Dallas a RB?

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

      Ayling RB who can fill in at CB.

      Dallas just an all round legend.

  3. Niho992

    If Grealish is out would you do

    Sterling, Antonio and Grealish to Kane, Son and Gundogan for -8?

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

    Come on Bambam, Raph and anyone(but Neto) from Wolves!!!

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

    Hmm.
    My template rating is 32% .
    This could be a big gmeweek.

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

      mine was 75% before wc and its 75% after wc lol

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

      It could be because of your differential fodders

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

        I assumed it didn't take the bench into account, but I don't see an explanation

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

          Martinez, Mitchell, Stones and ESR on my bench. Not exactly a bunch of obscure picks, anyway.

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

          Doesn't include bench. Includes captain

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

    Bought in Raphinha and Bamford for free and last minute Cavani to Ings c
    Bamford EO is ridiculous, kind of sad I want him to blank

  7. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any other DGW after GW27 ?

    Not sure to BB with Saints players

  8. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A. Kane/Vardy/Jorginho
    B. Kane/Barnes/Watkins

    Think B is more sensible but will be on a bench boost..

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

    Kane might rise twice in price tonight going by posts on here.

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

      Why?

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

    Where's our Bamford hatty???

  11. tommo123
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Held my WC this week

    Now that I have seen what GW26 looks like and I cant WC and BB I could cry 🙁

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

    With 3 leeds after this & Ings, looks like its going to be TC Kane and not BB.

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

      I will likely by on the TC barring injury

      1. WWW.

        *be

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

      Pretty hectic schedule don't think it's the best time to BB anyway.

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

      Already active. 🙂

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

        BB?

  13. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Nothing in a counter/fast break attack bothers me like a pass directly to feet/behind a player. PLAY IT INTO STRIDE.

  14. OneDennisBergkamp

    Multiple Villa insiders have transferred Grealish out their teama

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

      Scenes If he is out of GW 26 as well

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

        I'm gonna go all Kevin Keegan on that.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I did Grealish to Raphinha. Fortunately I was planning it anyway before the rumours started.

  15. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed. Watkins + Sterling > Kane + Barnes for -4?

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

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

        Thank you

  16. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Just about enough ITB to do

    Ings & Bamford OUT

    Kane & DCL IN

    Very tempting.

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

    Is Stones a good pick for DGW26 & DGW27?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Still a decent pick yes. Usual caveat with city assets - might miss a match.

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

      Wouldn’t be buying him now, probably two SGWs for him.

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

      Cheers both

  18. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I've seen a few people, including one of my rivals, benching Gundogan. I get that he might be injured but surely he either starts or doesn't play at all. Strange one or am I missing something?

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

      can easily come on for 5 mins at the end

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Could come on for 20-30 mins to build fitness surely

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Build fitness? Has he even missed a full week?

    3. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Could get a cameo

    4. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Fabio Borges also benched him 🙁

  19. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Bamford blanks today, then I guess Fernandes (c) looks like the better option?

    Only reason I didn't captain him was cuz Wolves (a) is a hard game, and can't really see Leeds assets scoring highly.

  20. FPL price manipulators are …
    • 10 Years

    Wow the game just got boring. Everyone has the same 8 or so players

  21. WWW.

    Great save Meslier

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

      Showboat. I could have saved that.

  22. M2.0

    Lucy Ward is quite refreshing to hear on commentary compared the usual garbage that BT sport put on. Knows her stuff!

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I don't like women commentators. It sounds too much like your missus trying to talk to you while you're watching the game.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years

        Chauvinistic rubbish comment

      2. Fred54

      I'm not a fan of her's. Also not a fan of most commentators. Something inauthentic about most of them. They either sound clichéd/unoriginal/boring or unnatural/contrived/boring

  23. tommo123

    You cant WC and BB in same week right?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      You cannot.

    2. SADIO SANÉ

      Why didn’t you find out say, last week? Don’t forget. Pretty much all you need to know is written down in the rules.

  24. Bushwhacker

    Sadly for every triple holder . . Wovles look the far better side.

  25. Neevesy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Right so WC, TC and BB left...what's the plan?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wild card last week then BB next

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

        ....... Lol........

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

        interesting strategy RTH but the problem is there are very few cs in gw 38 and you will be playing 6 defenders

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

      WC no, next week BB, TC in GW 28 or in GW 38

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

        If I WC now, I can't BB next week.

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

        What's happening in GW28 and 38?

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

    I don't have ~Gundo and I am on WC. I don't trust the price changes prediction sites.

    I am scared to have him since he might fall in price tonight and I am afraid to not own him since he might rise in price tonight.

    tomorrow will be more clear.

    what to do? get him tonight or leave it for tomorrow?

    my wc has 0.1.m in the bank so it is really important

    thanks,

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

      Price is highly unlikely to change.

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

        how certain you are?

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      lol again. not sure what you are on about.
      price will most likely not change.
      If anything, it would drop as it is closer to dropping than to rising.

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lots of WC sure to be active tonight so it'd be a surprise if he changed

    Why are people talking about getting rid of Watkins? Surely we should be loading up on Villa now!?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Martinez, Grealish, Watkins essential next GW

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

      He still types "barn door" into match.com

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

      Grealish supposedly injured.

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Strong rumours of Grealish being out, means they will be much less effective going forward.

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

      Grealish looking like he could be out
      Makes Villa look far less exciting without their main chance creator (particularly when it takes Watkins about 10 chances to score one)
