Ings and Minamino benched as Llorente returns to face Southampton

Double Gameweek 25 has gone from bad to worse for some Fantasy Premier League managers as Southampton name a rotated squad for their Tuesday-evening meeting with Leeds.

Fresh from blanking against Chelsea on Saturday, and giving away a penalty, Danny Ings (£8.5m) finds himself among the substitutes tonight.

The striker was signed by 640,000+ FPL managers for Double Gameweek 25, more than any other asset but his owners now face an uphill struggle for an immediate return on their investment.

Che Adams (£5.8m) and Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) lead the line at Elland Road tonight as Ralph Hasenhüttl lines his troops up in the usual 4-2-2-2 formation.

However, Ings is not the only one to suffer from the Austrian’s rotation as Saturday’s goal-scorer Takumi Minamino (£6.0m) is also on the bench.

Nathan Tella (£4.3m) and Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m) staff the flanks in his absence, either side of James Ward-Prowse (£6.0m) and Oriol Romeu (£4.5m).

Meanwhile, Leeds make just one change from the side that lost 1-0 at Wolves on Friday night.

Diego Llorente (£4.4m) comes in for Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m) to play at centre-back for only the third time this season, his most recent outing lasting just nine minutes before he sustained an injury.

Marcelo Bielsa’s faith in his first-team personnel means another start for this season’s best-value forward Patrick Bamford (£6.9m), who has produced 19.4 points per million spent thus far.

Stuart Dallas (£5.0m) remains at left-back while Raphinha (£5.4m) is stationed on the right-hand side of midfield.

Double Gameweek 25 Line-ups

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

Southampton XI (4-2-2-2): A McCarthy; Bertrand, Vestergaard, Salisu, Bednarek; Tella, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong; Redmond, Adams.

      2. JONALDINHO

        Commentators trying to find out as we speak whether to say it was a dive or not

  2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No penalty

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No YC

  3. amitmishr

    This would have been a penalty and goal for ings, my captain

    1. amitmishr
      • 8 Years

  4. Steve The Spud

    Why don’t the commentators just say that it’s a dive

  5. jason_ni

    Everything that's wrong with the game.. you have young players coming through, and this is how they are playing, game is doomed.

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

      And not even booked for it. That just reinforces it.

    Justice.

  7. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Correct. Well done ref.

  8. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Well done Marriner but he should be booked for that.

  9. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No YC for dive?

  10. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Book him. Disgraceful dive

  11. Captain Vantastic™
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Clear dive and no yellow

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Already sold Ings for DCL. What a waste of space.

  13. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    The best view was from the other angle where it was obviously no pen, why didn’t they show that one?

    Got to the right decision though.

  14. g40steve

    Where’s the card for deceiving the ref?

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I know, want him sent off so Ings will come on

  15. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Boom him!

    1. Monklane
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes! Boom him!

    Might free hit to get 11 single gameweek players next week just to avoid the disappointment tbh

    1. GoonerSteve
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      lol

  17. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Conspiracy for Southampton, how could any ref ever give that as a penalty, must be dishonest and cheating

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He’s not booked because VAR can’t issue a YC and the ref, to no one’s surprise, missed it.

      Another rule that needs changing.

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

        How has the ref missed it when he's rewatched it on the monitor several times. I agree VAR can't necessarily do it but the ref HAS to book him for that.

      2. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ref can actually issue a yellow card in that situation.

    • GROBARI
      • 3 Years

      Ings,get f*** out of my team,useless c***. Never buy you ever in my life

            • 7 Years

            Ralph’s fault

        • Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Good decision was looking for the peno

        • Oggle22
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Thank god for that hurt enough with bringing in Ings and ml rival didn't have him then benched and that pen would have topped it off

        • REDMOND IN SANDALS
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          should be a yellow? welldone VAR

        • mezza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I've been robbed of a Meslier pen save.

            • 14 Years

            As a fellow Meslier owner, I admire your optimism

        • R.C
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Shocked! Finally a good decision from a ref!

          1. Salarrivederci

            Doubt JWP miss those

        • Garth Marenghi
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          How was that not a card

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Refs biased towards Southampton

            • JONALDINHO
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              He’s English

          2. Kane and Ablett
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Why are none of these divers getting booked? Unnatural fling out of his right leg, blatant cheating yet still no booking

          3. Hulk Smash
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Lmao where are those couple of Southampton fans who were complaining all weekend about players from other teams not being booked for obvious fouls and dives, claiming it was a conspiracy?

            You've got to laugh.

            Mike Dean would have given a red and a pen

          5. DAZZ
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            That was a penalty IMO.

            1. Garlana
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Then you should be a ref

            2. Gudjohnsen
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Hahahahhahahahahahah

              You know absolutely nothing about football.

          6. Botman and Robben
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            They don't give cards for diving anymore.
