Wolves restrict heavily-backed Bamford as Meslier suffers freak own goal

Wolves 1-0 Leeds

  • Goals: None
  • Own goals: Illan Meslier (£4.7m)
  • Assists: Adama Traoré (£6.0m)
  • Bonus points: Rui Patrício x3 (£5.3m), Raphinha x2 (£5.4m), Nelson Semedo (£5.2m)

MESS-LIER

Owners of Illan Meslier (£4.7m) endured a cruel evening as Leeds opened Double Gameweek 25 with a trip to Wolves.

In a relatively cagey encounter, the Whites’ goalkeeper was slowly building an impressive score, registering five saves in the opening period.

However, a dreadful piece of bad luck robbed him of what could have been a solid start to Double Gameweek 25 in the 64th minute.

Adama Traoré (£6.0m) who had mostly been kept quiet by Leeds’ full-backs, found some space in the middle for a speculative shot that struck the crossbar and went into the net off Meslier.

Before the own goal, the shot-stopper was projected a 10-point haul courtesy of a clean sheet, one save point and three bonus. After it, Meslier was down to just one point.

While there could be more joy against Southampton, it is certainly a hard start to the round for his 5.8% ownership.

WHAM BAM

It was a similar narrative for Patrick Bamford (£6.9m) who did not enjoy the best of starts to Double Gameweek 25 either.

The striker may have been backed by 80% of the top 10k for the captaincy but he endured a quiet evening at Molineux.

Wolves three-man defence smothered him while the hosts’ wing-backs and central midfielders did a solid job of cutting off his supply lines too.

As a result, Bamford only had two real moments where he looked even close to scoring.

In the middle of the second half, he was left with the scraps of a Liam Cooper (£4.3m) rebound but could not get enough power on his header to trouble Rui Patrício (£5.3m).

And then in the final 10 minutes, after Tyler Roberts (£4.6m) had played him through, Bamford unleashed a rising finish across goal and beyond Patrício, only to see it ruled out for a tight offside.

RAPH WITH THE SMOOTH

Raphinha (£5.4m) owners were also subjected to a teasing performance, the mid-priced midfielder very unlucky not to come away with a clutch of attacking returns.

In the 19th minute, he found Cooper with a free-kick delivery from the right, the centre-back unable to get adequate purchase on the ball.

Just after the interval, Luke Ayling (£4.4m) crossed into Raphinha at the near-post only for Conor Coady (£4.8m) to make a timely block.

Then between the 62nd and 70th minute, the Brazilian midfielder watched Cooper spurn three separate opportunities from corners. 

Had they fallen to Pascal Struijk (£3.9m) or Bamford, perhaps it would have been a different story.

In the closing stages of stoppage time, Raphinha’s speculative ball forward was seized upon by substitute Hélder Costa (£5.0m) who snatched at the finish despite the space in front of him.

And seconds later, Raphinha’s near-post header was turned around the post by Patrício, ensuring a match that could have produced a big haul turned out to be his first blank (in terms of attacking returns) since Gameweek 19.

Still, his high number of key passes, compared with a swathe of off-target shots opened the door for Raphinha to claim two bonus points in his first Double Gameweek 25 outing.

LINE-UP LESSONS

With Wolves lining up as an unchanged team for the first time in the league since Gameweek 8, the more interesting formation at Molineux was Leeds’.

Having tried and largely failed to ask other members of his squad to fill in for Phillips this season, Bielsa went for a different approach entirely by not directly replacing him.

“It’s not the first time (Phillips) has been absent. We have played well without him. Of course, he’s a big player but we have to adapt.” – Marcelo Bielsa

Instead, the Leeds manager moved away from the usual 4-1-4-1 shape and opted for 4-4-1-1 instead.

Mateusz Klich (£5.2m) and Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m) played as traditional central midfielders on Friday night with the extra man not behind them, but in front of them instead.

Bielsa handed that role to Roberts who sat just behind Bamford and would have come away with an assist were it not for a VAR call.

With Klich and Shackleton in the middle, Stuart Dallas (£5.0m) was returned to the left-back position after a prolonged spell in midfield. Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) was the man to make way, appearing only as a second-half substitute.

Struijk’s pairing with Cooper at centre-back ensured Luke Ayling (£4.4m) returned to right-back.

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

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

    Antonio to Kane tonight worth the gamble?

        Price rising tonight

        1. drughi

          you cant do the transfer if kane goes up in price ?

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

            Want to do Ings, Antonio, raphina to Barnes, Kane and Watkins -4 and only have 0.2mn margin to play with

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 1 month ago

      No, Kane chose not to travel for Europa match and may still have injury issues we don't know, Jose sounded optimistic but no guarantees, plus even if he does play he could get injured during the game, as could any other player in your team, and COVID could still be issue for teams on any given week. Way too soon to make a FT, chill and wait until the deadline.

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years

        Talking some sense into me, thanks

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That was his way of saying, I ain’t playing Kane in Europa until the final, without getting panned for it. Harry is fine

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

          Yep I imagine you are right and intend to agree but im just trying to urge some caution on the transfer front as we don't that for sure.

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane hasn't even played yet! Look what happened last time when he pulled up at half time in the Liverpool game

  2. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    The small blank in 33 due to league cup final, am i right in saying that it could still be a full GW if they move the games to later in that following week?

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

      From what I tell the games (MCI-SOU, FUL-TOT) have been brought forward so GW33 will be blanks for those sides.

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Correct, although TOT-SOU could possibly go there if Spurs are out of Europa League by then.

    The quickest way to get someone's attention is to remove yours.

    Take that one to the bank

    1. MikeS

      Its true, ghosted this girl I banged from bumble and she's stalking me now. 1.5 yes later

      1. MikeS

        Easy work

        If you don't stand up for yourself you get walked over

        In life and relationships

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

          Yes mate. That's very true.. been there when I was younger

          1. Bruce Lee
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            It made you who you are today and taught you valuable lessons

            Now look, you're getting stalked

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

              Lol. The stalking is annoying actually as I have another gf, that I was with at the same time. So need to make sure she disappears

              1. Make Arrows Green Again
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Then after that they're like "Dave, will you marry us?" and I was like "Excuse me, but I don't think monogamy is legal in this country, I dunno where you're from". You gotta try honesty, it works the best.

      3. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Lad. When you say stalking, do you mean stalking on social media, or literally stalking you IRL?

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

          Both

      The quickest way to get someone's attention is a flare gun

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No it's those stupid clapper things Leicester fans had when they won the league

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

          Nothing beats vuvuzela

    No need to wildcard this lot right ?

      Wasn't far off mine and i did . Grealish out forced my hand. What better time for a refresh. I do have FH left though

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

        Is grealish confirmed out? Atleast that makes grealish to rapha not so bad

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Nothing confirmed but a few of the players and staff took him out their fpl teams today ...not looking good. Shame

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I did have no Salah though tbf

    4. Saka Rice
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You reckon Kane will get more points than Salah? I do think either should be TC next week

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I reckon he's most important player for the dgw. Going to be triple captained a lot too

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

    Who's gonna sign Raphinha then?

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

      Liverpool I hope

    2. MikeS
      • 9 Years

      Arsenal

    Just wanted to double check, with the Bamford EO everyone active is happy on here tonight with the BamBam score so far?

  8. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Martinez, Pope
    Cancelo, Stones, Mee, Coufal, Kilman
    Salah, Bruno, Grealish, Gundo, Raphinha
    DCL, Ings, Bamford

    1) Pope, Ings > Sanchez, Kane (-4)
    2) Mee, Ings > White, Kane (-4) -- no room for price rises/falls here
    2) Grealish (if confirmed out) > Son

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

      I would do 1.

  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.
    How many of you considering this?

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

      With 29 and 33 to contend with I wouldn't

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

        FH 26 seems to have bigger upside now - no??

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

          It's all team dependent really, what works for my team might not work for yours, no one strategy.

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

      That's an option yes

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

      I’m leaning towards this(see my post below). We’ll set up for gw29 and then will WC in 31

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

        I have played my wc though

  10. Honker Muddlefoot
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Trying to save WC. Have just enough go Son and Ings > Grealish and Kane with eyes towards both BGW 29 and TC Kane in DGW26. Worth rolling the dice and moving now before price rises, or wait until after Spurs match on Sunday and hope for the best?

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

      it my first time ever to make a very early transfer, i took the gamble, as i had exact amount. to bring kane and mitchell for KWP and Antonio... (2FT) giving my 11 DGW players.
      And possibly TC one of Son or Kane, and using my BB toward the end of season
      possibly WC after GW 30

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

    What would you do with this team guys? Struggling to decide
    1) Free hit in gw26. Not bad for 27 onwards, already 6 players for bgw29. Then WC in GW31
    2) WC in gw26 and prepare for bgw29.
    3) Do Antonio, Sterling, Raphinha - > Dcl/Watkins, Salah and Gundo for -8

    Team is:
    Martinez
    Mee - Dallas - Cancelo
    Son - Bruno - Sterling - Barnes - Raphinha
    Bamford - Cavani

    Antonio, Stones, Coufal

  12. Magic Zico

    Will Kane's EO next week similar to 180% Bamford's this week?

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

      220%

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

        I'm not getting him 🙁

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

          I’m on the fence too. See below and give an opinion.

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

          Reverse logic?

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

            Nope, don't like the hits required and involving getting rid of DGW players ...

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

      No. I don't even think it'll be 100%.

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

        This is my thought, probably around 100%-ish. If Salah and Bruno are doing well this week, captaincy could be well spread.

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

        Depends on tomorrow, he scores tomorrow and it could well be about 180% I think

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

    Look at the picture above...

    Cooper would have needed to have 8 inch longer legs to connect with the Raphinha assist chance.

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

      That was the hardest of the three.

      He had two headed chances served to him on a plate & he knock them straight into the keepers hands both times.

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

        Tough luck then

        I was juggling things

  14. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane could be a risky TC giving his injury history?

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

      Burnley and Fulham are quite solid defensively. I think I will captain Grealish

  15. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Grealish is not injured right?

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

      Nothing confirmed but his teammates have transferred him out of their teams this week.

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

        This. Looking likely then.

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

      Likely he is Woy

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

      Not pictured in training, injury rumours before deadline, teammates & staff transferred him out.

      The warning signs are there.

  16. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years

    Is it possible to undo the TC chip before a deadline?

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

      No.

      Only BB and FH i think.

      WC and TC are definite.

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

        Incorrect.

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

          What's correct officer

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

            One can deactivate TC chip before deadline.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Sorry...

          I've had too much to drink but was walking home from a socially instance non event.

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

            No problem. Carry on. 😆

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

      Yep

    3. Honker Muddlefoot
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep! You’re safe to undo up until the deadline.

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

      Think you can, FH and WC can't be undone

    5. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

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

      You can have TC on and deactivate again before the deadline no problem

    7. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Have Son.
    A) Vardy for free
    B) Kane -4
    Leaning towards Vardy.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      As much as Vardy is frustrating to watch, I like LEI fixtures and looking to bring Barnes

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

        I would too. Sadly no room in my midfield.

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

      I've left my options open. Could have got either in this week but thought I'd see what they both look like this weekend.

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

        Sensible.

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

      Yeah LEI are in my serious consideration, but I may go Barnes

  18. Surfeit of Lampteys

    Proper bad luck for meslier owners there. Big swing in points.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Feel sick as a Meslier owner, he continues to haunt me ever since I brought him in for Martinez!

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I got rid of Martinez too lol. Worst move ever.
        But yeah not fair with meslier tonight. These things can happen but so cruel.

    Anyone surprised that 910k managers captained Kane & son combined this week?

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

      Not really, highly owned, having a great season and excellent record against the Hammers.

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

        Yea but with DGW and Fernandes playing Newcastle, it seems off.

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

          Yeah true, i guess some may feel Newcastle will prove stubborn defensively but I think many just love the Spurs duo this season.

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

      I am surprised for a player with fitness question marks!

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

      Sheff managed to get a lot of chances against them, can’t see them parking the bus either.
      I think Spurs could score a few

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

      No, many loyalists (and presumably dead teams) from the start of the season

  20. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any updates on Grealish?

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

    Early KO massive for me tomorrow with Ings (C) & McCarthy

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

      They face CHE though lad

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

        I know, not sure what to expect at all

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

      Like your captain pick.

      Much better player than Bamford at least.

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

        Too early to say, Ings ankles could crack 5 minutes in

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

      Same for me + Minamino

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

        Love the Minamino pick

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

        Nice

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

      Ings will score, enjoy

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

        More hopeful for his second game if he makes it, but yes something tomorrow would be a nice start

  22. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How many is a decent number to be taking into 29 without a FH? 6?

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

      You might get away with it but I'd probably want at least 8.

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

      I'm having 9

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I survived BGW18 with 7 players. Make sure you have the main players covered like Martinez, Son and Kane

  23. Konstaapeli
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance DCL drops today?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Difficult to tell as it may be skewed with the WCs

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

        Seen those but the tide has turned and lot's of WC's are in play. Hope he does so can get him in instead Watkins.

      Was thinking the same
      Kudos to David for being on top of it!

    2. Make Arrows Green Again

      Yes good work all round

  25. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Think next weeks looks best time to Bench Boost. I'm willing to do 4 transfers (-12) with 2.0 itb.

    Do your worst with this lot...

    Martinez Button
    Dias Cancelo Dallas Mee Dawson
    Raphina Fernandes Sterling Salah Son
    Bamford Watkins Brewster

  26. marpy016

    My original plan was to WC GW26, but given the fixture announcements reckon I can navigate with just FT's.

    What are your thoughts on Cavani & Antonio to Kane & Maja for -4. Need to do tonight to avoid being priced out?

    Will Leave me with

    Martinez
    Cancelo - Dias - Lowton
    Gundo - Fernandes - Salah - Son - Raphinha
    Maja - Kane

    Pope - Bamford - Dallas - Holding

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

      The worst case is a 0.2 price increase. If you could afford that and not hamper other plans, wait till the deadline to have more options.

  27. In Bale We Trust
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Worth moving for Areola tonight? Otherwise would be priced out of Kane later in the week...risk seems less with a keeper?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Very difficult to advise an early move when they haven't played yet. You know the risk...

      1. In Bale We Trust
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I do. And in this case think it would be worth it. The fact he’s a keeper who fills a blank in 29 for me helps. Will then wait till night before to assess Kane.

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

      I’d wait, so many games to be played. Another player could get injured

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

      Is Villa confirmed for 29?
      Assuming you own Martinez then no real need for Areola

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

      Never apply cane to areola. Top tip.

  28. Coys96

    According to the that review page I should have 75 points more than I currently have (based on luck). My current ML rivals have +60 & +80 net point gain. Effectively i should be at least 150 points ahead of them..

    Unreal.

  29. dshv

    Coufal to shaw/targett
    Antonio to watkins ??

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Targett yes, Watkins is a wait and see if Grealish is injured

  30. FPL_Crisis

    The season of the #bandwagon is quite annoying.
    Imagine bringing in Bamford for the double only to hope he blanks cause you captained Ings
