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.

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Snow weeks will win.

      A season or two back there was a 22 odd average.

    5. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Probably the week all but 2-3 games were cancelled due to a winter storm. Tevez was the only player who hit double figures I think.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Timmy Cahill was top scorer

  2. MikeS
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Ings to dcl for a hit?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      Yes

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Cheers. Not worth then doing raphina and a defender -8 for Barnes is it?

    3. FantasyClub
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      This “casuals” thing is getting lame dude, I’m sure we can all take a look at your team and call you a “casual” in some regard

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        only casuals are offended because someon call them casuas

    I told you all not to be too disappointed when Leeds let you down.

  7. FantasyClub
    • 3 Years

    Salah or Barnes?

  8. EWH2020

    When people say a player has ownership of "EO" what does EO stand for?

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Estimated Ownership

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Effective ownership—accounts for captains, so it can be above 100%

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          My bad.

    2. FPL.team

      Effective Ownership

    3. Baby Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Effective ownership - incorporates captains where ownership is 200% for

    4. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Extremely Oppressive

    5. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Effective Ownership and it increases because of captaincy - thats why its called as effective ownership.

      3 years, 24 days ago

      I've currently got Ings, Bamford, Dallas and Raph in my 11 for next week...

      Feel like hits will just backfire

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Same. Thinking to use WC.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Thinking of just playing the lot of them. Be classic if they troll just after the double.

          1. Digital-Real
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            i have them all and likely to keep them, they due!

          2. Niho992
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            If i dont WC i will play 3 of them and bench Dallas probably.

    8. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      DCL TC madness?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Nope. One of plenty of good options.

      2. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Ask those who triple captained Bamford this week

      3. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Kane, Bruno, City mid, DCL - All are good options.
        If Grealish is fit, him/Watkins is worth a shout as well.

    9. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      James nailed for the dgw26?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Probably a SGW for him.

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Reese James?

    10. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Is kane enough spurs for GW 26?

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Yes (perhaps even too much 😮 )

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Kane or son though?

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Kane 100000%

      2. grumpyman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Yes. I’m tripled up and already feel sick about it.

    11. Ronnies
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Best option;

      A) Ings >> Watkins

      B) Ings, Digne >> Kane, Struijk (-4)

      Would TC Kane.

      Cheers.

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Looking at the stats I’m not sure why you would want to TC Kane

    12. yLLacs
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Worth the -8 hit?:

      OUT - Justin, Sterling, Wood
      IN - Stones, Barnes, Kane

      Thanks in advance 🙂

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Go Dias if you have the funds

        1. yLLacs
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Already have Dias, dont have the fund for Cancelo

          Rather pretentious of someone to use the label "casual" to those who decided to captain Bamford (who is one of this year's leading points scorers) in a decent double game week. It is a decent choice, especially if you are using bench boost chip next GW.

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Imagine being Harrison and getting subbed off before Roberts

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Because Harrison is such a talent.
