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.

          I genuinely toyed with capping Dallas - no way I'd ever have followed through tho

        1. Isco Disco
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I didn't need a wildcard for that.

    11. Muscout
      • 4 Years

      As a Raph owner But not (c)

      Does Raph points affect me negatively?

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Really? No if it scores you benefit he’s 59% EO

    12. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Do these stupid footballers NOT KNOW they get minus points in FPL for taking their shirt off!?

      So annoying. I bet he isn't in the bonus points now

        emotions. More a silly rule than anything

    13. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Will Raphinha be at Leeds in the next two seasons? Gem of a player.

    14. Parsnips
      • 3 Years

      Do I still go Dallas > Pereria????

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

        I did Dallas to Keane. Plan was to get back Dallas immediately on Saturday.

    15. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe should go Kane less and play 10DGWers and a Leeds player this next GW

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

        SOU the worst defence in the league the last few GWs

    16. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Am already looking forward to Ralph’s post match interview blaming the ref for their defeat.

      Never has there been such an overrated manager.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Fair comment. But to be fair Southampton should've been 2-0 up in ten minutes.

    17. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Captained my lowest scoring Leeds player. Oof

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

      Is Ings out for the double a must now? Seems he’s not trusted for 2 games in a week...

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

        That and Southampton are absolute cack.

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        They're not scoring against City

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

        For me, yes. I wanted Son in for Raphina, but no chance now, he hasn't blanked in months. Let's me bring in Pereira at the back too.

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

          Is it an easy swap to DCL or are there good differentials maybe Richarlison etc
          Just don’t like going back to DCL for a 3rd time and chasing points now.
          Dropped from 30k to 120k in the matter of 3 weeks

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        With Ings injury history I doubt they want to risk him for 3 matches in 7 days.
