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.

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

  2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years

    No penalty

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

      No YC

  3. amitmishr

    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, 1 month ago

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

    Justice.

  7. sminkypinky

    Correct. Well done ref.

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

    Well done Marriner but he should be booked for that.

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

    No YC for dive?

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

    Book him. Disgraceful dive

  11. Captain Vantastic™
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Clear dive and no yellow

  12. FPL Daniel

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

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

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

  15. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years

    Boom him!

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

      Yes! Boom him!

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

    1. GoonerSteve

      lol

  17. @persecuted_by_mods

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

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

        Ref can actually issue a yellow card in that situation.

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

            Ralph’s fault

        • Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Good decision was looking for the peno

        • Oggle22
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

          should be a yellow? welldone VAR

          I've been robbed of a Meslier pen save.

            As a fellow Meslier owner, I admire your optimism

        • R.C

          Shocked! Finally a good decision from a ref!

          1. Salarrivederci

            Doubt JWP miss those

        • Garth Marenghi
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          How was that not a card

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Refs biased towards Southampton

            • JONALDINHO
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              He’s English

          2. Kane and Ablett
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

            That was a penalty IMO.

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

              Then you should be a ref

              3 years, 1 month ago

              Hahahahhahahahahahah

              You know absolutely nothing about football.

            They don't give cards for diving anymore.
