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.

    Leeds Wolves was never looking like a high scoring fixture.

    The Southampton game, however..................

    1. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe another 9 goal thriller?

      There will be suicides by non Bamford owners and the few non-captainers.

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

    Rival BB with Meslier as second GK - Hating wolves

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

    Has there ever been a goal in the first half of a Wolves game?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings 🙂

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

    will bruno outscore bamfird?

    1. FPL Daniel

    3. dogtanion

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

      Does most weeks

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

    Dallas CS & Raphinha CS point more valuable than a Bamford captain goal if Dallas or Raphinha don’t assist him.

    FPL can be ridiculous sometimes.

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

      cs is super important

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

      I would say "yeah, but it's Leeds". But then . . it's also Wolves.

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

      Cue traore scoring his first goal in about 45 matches

  8. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ings and Antonio > Watkins and DCL for free?

    Leaves 13 DGW players for BB

    Martinez
    Dallas Cancelo Shaw
    Bruno Son Maddison Gundo Salah
    DCL Watkins
    Areola Bamford Stones Lowton

  9. Pep Roulette

    I want to go to sleep

  10. Fudgy
    • 4 Years

    0-0 would be epic as a struijk punter

    1. Tiki-Taka
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i'm not ready for this after the lowton jam budget pick last week over Mee/Tarkowski

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

      A professional pick.

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years

        thanks

        1. JONALDINHO

          3 years, 1 month ago

          Fudgy I just noticed you have 13 of my 15 players. I know I’m a good player but there’s no need to keep copying me

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

            Enjoy a top 10k finish pal

  11. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    ML guy has 3X Leeds defence & Bruno C looks like big balls second half 🙂

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wow!!

  12. JAYPEE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Good BB team for DGW 26?

    Martinez Lloris
    Dias Stones AWB Lowton Kabak
    Salah Fernandes Gundogan Lookman Rodriguez
    Kane Bamford Watkins

    I’m also taking a -8 or -12 for this squad

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

    Who do you sacrifice to get Kane?
    A heavy hitter or multiple transfers?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings probably leaving for me. Just need to find 0.2 elsewhere - Mee or Areola out for example

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

        Not worry about DGW for Ings in GW27?

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It's Sheffield + 2 points most probably. Kane can outscore him over the next 2 GWs.

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

      Ings with 1FT

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

        What about his double in GW27?

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

      WCarded myself

    4. Tiki-Taka
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i sacrificed salah. one of them (salah, bruno, son kane) had to go in order to balance the rest of the team, particularly with a GW26 BB

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

        Same problem, could backfire with Salah..

        1. Tiki-Taka
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          yeah i'm gonna be firmly behind the sofa each week, but i felt like it was the best solution - rest of the team looks juicy

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

      Ings - easy.

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

        Double 27?

        1. michaelington
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Transfer back in.

    6. fantasywizard
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i'll do a sideways transfer of Maguire to Shaw to fund Bamford to Kane

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

        That’s nice

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

          yeah but i'll have to do it by tonight or i will be priced out...that's not so nice but i think i'll have to take the risk. what do you think?

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

            Then I would

    7. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings & Robertson most likely.

    8. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Did Raz + Antonio to Raphina + Kane today, so Raz

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

      Salah is the simple answer

  14. Spg76
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve been a 40 year long suffering fanatic of Welsh national team. Tyler Roberts captained a champion Welsh under 15’s and was center forward. Wales would win games and score 2, 3 or 4 goals. He NEVER got on the scoresheet. Gave him the benefit of the doubt because we were winning but it did create suspicion. Get him off!!

  15. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    For DGW 26

    a) Kane & Traore
    b) Son & Watkins

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd prefer Neto over Traore

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not a bad shout. Although they have city away.

  16. fantasywizard

    bottomed

    Dumb question probably but please help here:
    I have Cavani with Purchase price of 7.9. He is currently valued at 8.0 and will drop in price today. My selling price will stay at 7.9 correct?
    Thanks!

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. SADIO SANÉ

        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        thanks both. that's perfect cause i'm planning on swapping him for DCL who is also dropping tonight apparently. i will then wait until tomorrow to do that and savo 0.1M

  17. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Neto has lookd good so far! Hopefully he gets something!

  18. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Was planning Digne Ings to Konsa Kane. Worth it? Everton dgw fixtures look perfect.

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

      Spurs Villa double on horizon - I’m Kane + konsa too at mo (only want DCL for the double).

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, yeah I have DCL.

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah worth it. Everton arent getting clean sheets regardless of these fixtures

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha so true. Thanks

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

      I doubt it's worth. Surely you have better uses for the FTs.

  19. michaelington
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Missed the chaos just after the deadline. It’s a disgrace that they held the fixtures back until 1 minute after the deadline. Guess that ruined a lot of plans for a lot of people. I put faith in the Crellin and came out ok but others may not have taken the risk.

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

      imagine it's so the servers didn't get bummed to death just before the deadline

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 1 month ago

    This Bamford has 181% effective ownership, the 2nd highest seen this season
    Previous most owned + captained players:

    GW20 Fernandes 187% 2 points
    GW25 Bamford 181% ? points
    GW22 Salah 173% 2 points
    GW15 Salah 173% 2 points
    GW16 Salah 156% 3 points

    1. Hazz

      Lol @ the masses

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

        (I've captained Bamford too obviously)

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

          Massif

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

      A prestigious list for Bamford to be the top scorer of with 4 points.

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

      So 4 would be a win

    4. JJO
      • 11 Years

      Well he will probably get more than all of them 🙂

          There should be a chip which allows you to use all the chips on the same week

          1. Limbo

  23. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Activated my WC. Best 2 defenders for 9.7?. Can't be City or Rüdiger. BB 27 is an option

    No, I can't either.

    1. TheDragon

      Imagine anyone scoring

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He needs to show some flair

      See what I did there hehe

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

        MUGA

      Would be happy with Dallas A Raphina G and a 1-0 victory for Leeds

  26. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Very much hoping for a Wolves goal

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hope Neto gets it!

  27. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    It's all good guys. World No. 1 has Bamford captain. He's guaranteed a goal to go in off his arse in the 2nd half.

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

    I have no sources for this, but someone's telling me that Dean Smith has previous for not mentioning Grealish injuries. Same thing happened in their promotion season and he missed 12 matches.

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

      Best ask Dean Smith to tell his backroom not to transfer him out.

      It's amateur if you think it through.

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

      He has no responsibility to mention his injuries. He is the best player in the team so why give the opponent inportant information before the match

      1. tambourineman
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        The players have revealed it a few hours later so all he's done by not revealing it earlier is make himself look a bit of a tit.

      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-jack-grealish-injury-15545541

      He downplayed the injury, "hopefully he’ll be available for the Christmas period", he next appeared in March

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

    anyone on here keeping Ings? thought this would probably happen, kinda planned just to get rid by a DGW against City might still be ok...

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

      I gambled he would have a double next week. But Grealish injury is the priority.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Will either move to DCL or save

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Booting him for DCL

  30. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    does Bielsa bring on subs only when Leeds losing at HT?
