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.

    That Raphinha goal was justice.

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

      Yes, really want him in my team, looked really good

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years

      As someone who captained him I feel relief and unjustice at the same time... So many assists wasted over 2 games.

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

        Raphinha(c) here El Polako.We celebrate today.

    3. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      We deserved more but the goal made it bareable. Typically, the yellow card celebration took the shine of it and could cost a Bap. 😆

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

        He has 4 bps difference with Meslier so he would still get 1 bonus.

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

    1) or 2)?

    1) Cavani, Ings and Bamford -> Kane, DCL and Vydra (-4)
    (Vydra on the bench in BB)

    2) Cavani and Son -> Kane and Barnes
    (Soucek on the bench in BB)

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

      Prefer #2 ... considering captaining Barnes, myself.

  3. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dallas and Raphinha both score, you couldnt make it up

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

      what a result... shame I captained Raphina not Dallas tho

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

        Shame you captained Raphinha?
        I captained Ings!

    2. WVA

    DCL did better in 28 minutes than INGS in 120 LMAO. Shouldn’t have gotten rid

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

      Ings didn't play 120.

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

        90+30

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

        He played 116 minutes. Same shite mate.

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

        I’m guessing math isn’t your strong suit lol

    2. Coys96

      In hindsight.

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

        True. I took the punt. Won’t happen again. Especially not with a game against MCI

  7. Easy Cheesy

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

      Got all 3. Not on a single game week!

  8. AD105
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mee/Son/Ings > Pereira/Barnes/Kane good moves for -8?

    Would probably triple-captain Kane as well

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. AD105
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Any suggestions?

        1. Gunners in Haaland
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Keep Son. Any other way to get Kane in?

          1. AD105
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Would have to lose Son, Salah or Bruno realistically

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

    Ings, Sterling, Salah -> Kane, KDB, Son?

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

      Absolutely not

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What?

      2. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Reply to Moment, sorry

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years

    3. FPL Daniel

      Yes yes yes for me

    4. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Raheem.

  10. mdm
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you bench boost this lot?

    Pope (tot, LEI), Mitchel (FUL, MUN), Raph (AVL) and Dallas (AVL)

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

      Yes

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Mitchell plays then 90% yes

  11. FPL price manipulators are …

      TC

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Dont be so certain. Southamptons' goals conceded weren't big chances (they did conceded a few, tho) and they will take the Everton game very seriously now.

  12. FPL ZB

    76 points bringing a red arrow! School of hard knocks

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        True, no complaints here!

        Apart from at McCarthy, can always complain at him

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      61 and 30% red here

  13. Ha.
    • 8 Years

    1. Kane TC, DCL (-4)
    2. Barnes, DCL TC

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years

      1 with TC DCL

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

        Little point having Kane then

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

      Tough. Fortunately I dont have money for both so I will go DCL (have Son).

  14. Samwise

    Really wanted to use my BB this week but didn't want to play my WC with no confirmed fixtures.

    Any recommendations on what to do here?

    I've only took 8 points in hits all season so I'm open to take up to a -8 for this double gw.

    1. AD105
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have exactly the same front 8 as you, also stumped as to what to do

  19. WVA
    • 7 Years

    Is Coufal to Rudiger worth a -4 to BB this?

    Pope Bamford Dallas Rudiger

    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones Mee
    Salah Bruno Son Gundogan Raphina
    Kane Watkins

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

        Yea could have been a huge haul for him there!

  21. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Shouldn’t have benched Ings and Minamino Ralph

  22. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years

    Chances of Dier starting both games in GW 26?

    Has been rested in "seemingly" easy games like Brighton and West Brom recently.

    Currently have Ings and Raphinha on the bench and Dier starting.

    Thanks.
