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

      The same move here

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I am getting Barnes and Kane

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I approve this message.

    5. Henning
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thanx all.

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

      I think it's sideways, as a combo.

  2. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    TC Bruno, Son or DCL?

    1. Evil Greg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going Kane.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I am planning on Bruno TC

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

      Bruno or Kane for me

    4. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL for me flying under radar. Has the best 2 fixtures. Bruno has Chelsea, and spurs have 2 games against teams that can't score, but aren't that bad defensively.

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

        After seeing Southampton today DCL definitely has an amazing DGW. Would’ve been Grealish if fit

  3. Forever In Our Shadow

    AZ with 104 pre baps. He will be smug with a reason on Blackbox for a change. 😉

    1. Evil Greg

      Hahaha.

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

      Did he captain Dallas or something?

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

        Tc bamford

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

          Ah not that spectacular then but a ton is a ton!

  4. Je suis le chat

    Phew. Thanks Leeds gor holding a green. Heard Tiger Woods in a crash, hope he's OK. All time sports hero for me.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Just hope he wasn’t drunk.

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        As a middle aged waster, I feel sorry for the guy and wouldn't wish to be him. He's still a hero for what he's achieved.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Yeah just saw that. Hope he is ok.

  5. Arteta

    Triple Leeds delivered big time but pity that Bamford couldn't grab another one 🙂

  6. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 13 Years

    MARTINEZ
    STONES DIAS MEE
    MADDISON GUNDO SALAH SON BRUNO
    DCL Bamford

    McC, Strujik, Ings, Coufal

    How can you get Kane in this team. 1FT and barely anything in bank.

    Sell Salah? or just do Ings to Watkins

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

      If you are planning to BB, then Ings -> Watkins is the move I'd make.
      If no BB, save FT

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

        Wasted BB in the last big DGW when Zouma got nothing

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Son and Ings to Kane and Barnes. I think you have enough then.

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

    Sold Raphinha for a hit yesterday as I would be priced out of Barnes with the price rise. Pray with me

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

      Cue Barnes injury in Europa league...

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes for a double. I think you will be fine.

    3. OLEgend
      • 9 Years

  9. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What a baller Raph is. Wanted him to sign for Liverpool when he was playing mid table in the Portuguese league.

  10. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Have 4.1 for a defender. Who with a DGW is likely to get most minutes:

    A) Mitchell
    B) Kilman
    C) Nathaniel Phillips
    D) Jagielka

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

      A

  11. Londongeezaa

    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) James -> Aina/Targett

    B) James + Ings -> DCL + Regulion (or other Spurs defender)

    TIA

    1. Casual Player
      • 3 Years

      FWIW, I’m doing both for Targett and DCL

      1. Rog.

        Cheers for your thoughts

  14. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane, DCL or Vardy for the double?

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

      Kane > Vardy > DCL for me

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Same

    2. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL, then kane. Vardy not needed unless u want to chase and have a differential for the sake of it. Barnes and Madds are better value

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

    Another important lesson. This season go with the template or you are doomed.

    I've never seen such a strong template in 12 years of playing the game

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What template? Do you count weekly templates as well now?

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

        Template was Gundo. Template was triple Leeds. Template is Martinez, Template is Bruno etc etc etc

        1. Alexis Nonsense
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Climbed 1.5m places without Gundo over the last 10

          I'm ballin 🙂

    absolute crap GW massive red - down to 37k 🙁

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      2 Leeds only?

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

        Yes and useless Ings(for antonio with a hit)

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

      Nothing is a 'massive' red if it takes you down to 37k

  17. Aster
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dallas 3 baps, Meslier 2 and Raphinha 1? Bam bam 0? Right?

    1. Aster
      • 3 Years

      This decides whether I win my Cup tie by one point lol

    2. Rainer

      Looks it but Bamford so high owned...

  18. Tower Bridge

    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Decision to make with this team, 1FT and 1.2M ITB

    Martinez Pope
    Cancelo Dias Shaw Robbo Mee
    Bruno Salah Grealish Gundog Raphinha
    DCL Bamford Antonio

    Question is whether this team is good enough to BB, perhaps with a few transfers. Or should I W/C now and save the BB???
    Thanks

  19. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Lose one BPS, Raph!

  20. arkom
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno / Barnes / Gundogan / Rapinha / XXX
    Kane / DCL / XXX

    A) Salah & Bamford

    or?

    B) Son & Vardy

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

      B

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

    Its incredible how Ings scoring in GW 24 wiped the fact he had blanked in all but 1 of the past 10 GWs from peoples minds. Recency bias at its finest

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

  27. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ings was the most obvious trap of all time. Shame on you all for buying, especially for a hit

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

      Sorry

    2. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hindsight much, eh? I did Antonio -> Ings because didn't want to burn a transfer and Antonio was a doubt.

      1. Naby K8a
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        West Ham are a much better team than Southampton and not in freefall like the saints. Antonio was a doubt? Yeah but Ings was never starting both games so..

  28. Aster
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Raph 1 bps, Bam 0? Final?

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

    If I didn't get Ings would have played Stones

  30. The Senate

    ANY CHANCE Bamford sneaks a BAP?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      In theory he should

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That would be wonderful but unlikely.
