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.

    Would you BB this next week? 11 DGWers in first team (-4):

    McCarthy | Bamford | Raphinha | Dallas

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

      Have you already taken the hit for one of these players? I'm not sure the relevance of the -4 here...?

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

        Ings to DCL
        &
        Kilman to 4.7

        Relevance is the hit gets me the first team of doublers, thus bench is the SGWers

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

          I don't se why the hit is worth it, personally, unless you're getting more extra fixtures down the road, too, then maybe. But part of the benefit would surely be to bench the Leeds players. BBing reduces the effective value of the hit in a way...?

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

            Assuming Kilman doesn’t play either, the hit is getting me 3 extra games.

            Of course I could take the hit and just play TC, so basically wondering if it’s worth BBing McCarthy and the Leeds boys, especially if Grealish is out

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

              3 more games than you'd get from making a single transfer (no hit), benching Kilman and playing a Leeds player. Hard to believe unless you're talking about future games, but then Ings has a double(s) coming up too. Then you'll need another hit to bring him back? Seems like the wrong move to me. Taking a hit to BB players you don't want in your XI... not a good sign imo

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

                Yeah, you know what I think Ings to DCL then reverse transfer following week potentially makes most sense.
                Cheers

      2. Big boy Bowen

        And no not taken it yet, just early planning

      If you can do a -4 for a better keeper it is worth it. You could get someone (the Fulham keeper maybe thinking about budget). Southampton's next double isn't worth it.

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

        The hit is Kilman & Ings to 4.7 def & DCL

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

        Sorry as Deulo mentioned I wasn’t clear enough

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

          Do another -4 imo.

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

            Ok, could even abandon BB and just do Ings to DCL

    Yet another captain fail. Thank god he has a second chance. Cheers. Bam.

    1. Party time

        Yeah. Fingers crossed for that

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

        Went for Ings and fearing the worst punishment imaginable

        You must be really nervous seeing as literally everybody else also captain him 🙂

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Absolutely. But it’s still another blank from my captain.

      there's no chance of Bamford getting rested next game is there - I have just had a moment of very mild panic

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 7 Years

        Really doubt that

      2. Boly Would

        No

        He had a rest tonight

    6. DandyDon

      Things were looking so good for Meslier at half time. Cue no 6th save and an own goal second half!

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        So so unlucky.

          14+ if you own Dallas to!

    7. Coys96

      There must be someone out there with Meslier Cooper & Raphinha 😀

    8. Kane and Ablett
      • 3 Years

      The Dallas Captain Club is giving Meslier a few dirty looks right now

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

      So anyone else going to FH in 26? Have 9 DG players but still I think I can benefit from FH the most in 26 as I can keep Leeds players plus ings. Plus I will be getting 11 good dgw players.

    10. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years

      Ayling at fault for Wolves goal, quite a habit of his this season

    11. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Son or Barnes on WC?

      Salah Bruno Gundo xx ESR
      Kane DCL Watkins

      Putting FPL aside for a minute, Raphinha is just a hell of a signing for Leeds. Considering some of the huge fees paid these days 18M for him is a bargain. His delivery from open play crosses, free kicks and corners are excellent. Can see him just getting better as the season progresses.

      1. tiger

        I see him being chased by other clubs soon...can see him being lined up to replace Firmino at Liverpool for example.

        I will be, probably with a -4 to move one to a DGW player
