Scout Notes

Bamford, Raphinha and Dallas all deliver as Leeds beat Southampton

Leeds 3-0 Southampton

  • Goals: Patrick Bamford (£6.9m), Stuart Dallas (£5.0m), Raphinha (£5.4m)
  • Assists: Tyler Roberts (£4.6m), Hélder Costa x2 (£5.0m)
  • Bonus points: Dallas x3, Illan Meslier x2 (£4.7m), Raphinha x1

WHAM BAM

Patrick Bamford (£6.9m) finally delivered the Double Gameweek goods as he netted in Leeds’ meeting with Southampton.

After watching a second-half effort ruled out for offside against Wolves, the mid-priced forward notably adjusted his run to convert on Tuesday night.

Tyler Roberts (£4.6m) put him through the middle of Southampton’s defence for a routine finish, his 13th goal of the season and his 21st attacking return.

Backed by 1.6 Fantasy Premier League managers for the Double Gameweek 26 captaincy, Bamford has now produced a goal or assist in five of his last six home league matches. That bodes well for further returns considering three of Leeds’ next five Premier League fixtures are at Elland Road.

As per usual, the size of Bamford’s latest score could have been bigger. His best chance outside the second-half goal came in the third minute when he powered through the middle and, when he probably should have unleashed an effort from just inside the Southampton box, he laid off to Roberts who could not reach the pass.

Meanwhile, Bamford even contributed at the other end of the field in the second half, turning a Jannik Vestergaard (£4.7m) header over the crossbar in the 64th minute.

RAPH TRADE

Just as was the case at Wolves on Friday night, Raphinha (£5.4m) was exceptionally unlucky not to come away with another massive haul, although like Bamford, he did, at least find the net.

Despite being one of Leeds’ best players against Southampton, the Brazilian winger was denied both goals and assists with frustrating regularity for his 9.7% ownership.

In the 24th minute, Raphinha found some space behind Ryan Bertrand (£5.0m) with a mazy run and could have gone down for a penalty but squared for an unmarked, onrushing Roberts who skied a big chance.

Then, 14 minutes later, the Leeds wide-man was played through on goal in a gilt-edged one-on-one with Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) only for Oriol Romeu (£4.5m) to sprint back with all the endeavour of a Bamford captainer to put in arguably one of the best tackles of the season to deny him.

There were two more glaring misses from Raphinha passes in the second half that would have hugely frustrated his backers.

Roberts fired wide again in the 50th minute before Diego Llorente (£4.4m) forced an impressive save out of McCarthy but should have scored himself.

It was in the closing stages that Raphinha finally got his due, rifling home a free-kick from range after a foul on Hélder Costa (£5.0m).

Line-up Lessons

Stuart Dallas (£5.0m) returned to central midfield against Southampton although only after another enforced change for Bielsa.

The Northern Ireland international started the game at left-back once again, the Leeds’ cause helped by Llorente making only his third appearance since joining in the summer.

“(Llorente starting is) necessary in this moment and we hope he can show the qualities that brought him here.” – Marcelo Bielsa

However, Dallas still found his way to central midfield thanks to an injury to Mateusz Klich (£5.2m) in the second half.

With Pascal Struijk (£3.9m) occupying the Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m) in defensive midfield, Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) was the nearest replacement with Dallas able to step forward.

Like Raphinha, he was also unlucky not to get an even bigger haul. It was Dallas who played Bamford for that chance he tried to move onto Roberts before the forward missed another Dallas key pass in the 52nd minute, forcing a good save from McCarthy.

Still, that shift forward allowed Dallas to get involved the goals all the same, toe-poking an edge-of-the-box strike beyond McCarthy after a Costa cross in the 78th minute.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Llorente, Ayling; Struijk; Harrison (Costa 46′), Roberts (Hernandez 75′), Klich (Alioski 59′), Raphinha; Bamford.

Southampton XI (4-2-2-2): A McCarthy; Bertrand, Vestergaard, Salisu, Bednarek; Tella (Minamino 58′), Romeu (Djenepo 70′), Ward-Prowse, Armstrong; Redmond (Ings 58′), Adams.

    Dallas to Dias
    Or
    Lowton to stones

    Have FH, is Dias nailed? Better to keep Dallas if he's gonna play in midfield?

    1. RubeRx

      And. Plays GW29

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        True & don't think Burnley will be able to keep a single CS

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

      Have you considered Ederson for nailed City? Or are you already on him. Same ceiling really as the other 2 if you take the Stones haul as random defender points

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, but ederson is just out of budget as my second keeper currently is Sanchez and going ahead there'd be a major headache between benching ederson & Martinez

  2. el polako

    Nothing subtle or humble about it, just came to share my best score this year 110 points with only Fabianski blanking and no chips used.

    Guess it makes up for the shite GW's.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Nice, thats more than 2 times of my score 😆

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Congratulations

    3. el polako

      Cheers, I know very well that next week will be back to regular poor score and complaining about lack of luck and disappointment of picking wrong captain 😉

    4. pingissimus

      Well done

      Characteristically overmanaged my side to miss out on a second consecutive century.

      I’m the king of calling tails when it’s heads and heads when it’s tails.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Easy done, I only didn't play my WC because couldn't be bothered to work it out.
        Had I done my score would be much lower.

    To score more points in the next 4 (ARS bur bha SHU):

    A) H Barnes
    B) Pereira

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  4. SHOWSTOPPERRR

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guys judging from last night's performance from Leeds, I would like to bb this gw, but need your suggestions though.

    Martinez martin
    Dias cancelo digne Dallas lowton
    Salah son bruno gundo raph
    Dcl bam antonio

    2ft

    Two questions guys,

    1) should I bb with 3 Leeds Lowton areola and 11 other dgw players
    2)
    A) Antonio son martin to Kane barnes areola -4
    B) Antonio salah Martin to Kane Barnes Ariela -4(no fh so 29 saves me from an extra transfer of son of opt this option)
    C) Antonio raph Martin to Watkins Barnes areola -4

    TIA.

  5. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Already committed to a -12.

    Now also really want a better GK to bench boost with than McCarthy.

    Martinez a no brainer given potential DGW28? Already own Areola so covered for 29.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes or you can just roll with McCarthy and save 4pts

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Mart or even Schmeichel should make 4pts back in the next three GWs though surely. Soton look a husk and he can’t save anything.

  6. jai1212
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do?

    Mane Ings Bamford >> Barnes DCL Vardy for -8?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would, yes

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Stretch to Kane rather than Vards if u can but otherwise yes

      1. jai1212
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        already have Kane

        1. Shatner's Bassoon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Sounds good then

  7. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    On BB, which is better?

    A. Dallas, Barnes
    B. Digne, Raphina

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

      I would say A.

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

      B

    3. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A for me, Dallas if playing OOP can even match raph

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B all day long

    5. Cowboy John
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    6. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Before Liverpool you need to go all the way back to 15 to find another Everton cs - SHU!

      They’ve faced some untidy attacks in that time too

    7. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    8. SpaceCadet

      A

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

    Plan to BB - What would you do here?

    1) Cavani and Son -> Kane and Barnes (-4)
    2) Cavani and Bamford -> Kane and Vydra (-4)
    3) Cavani and Digne -> Kane and White/Taylor (-4)

    (1FT, 1.6 itb)

    Martinez
    Cancelo/Dias/Digne/Mee
    Salah/Bruno/Son/Gundo
    Cavani/DCL

    Bench: Messlier, Dallas, Bamford, Soucek

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

      A

  9. fpork
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What to do here? Got 2 FT and 0.2ITB

    Pope (Fabianski)
    Dias, Cancelo, Targett (Tarkowski) (Dallas)
    Lookman, Gündogan, Salah, Fernandes, Grealish
    Cavani, Vardy (Bamford)

    Grealish out seems quite obvious, but for who?

    DCL also feels important, but not sure if now is the time to move Cavani out.

    1. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish to Barnes & Cavani to DCL

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

    I am looking to start 2 single gw player would play

    A) Bamford
    B) Raphinha

    1. HODGE
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A on pens

  11. HNI
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How likely is dgw 28 for avl vs astonvilla? It makes avl look so.essential with bgw 29 match as well

    1. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I reckon Villa would do well in that game

  12. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Case for DCL (TC) !!
    -------------------------------
    - Tied Top goal scorer out of all fpl forwards (13)

    - Good form. 2 goals 2 assists in last 3 pl games

    - 2 great fixtures (SOT wba)

    Infact Soton and West brom are bottom two sides in current form table (last 6 gws)

    Both has conceded most goals in that period too with Soton conceding 19 and West brom 12.

    - Richarlison Digne and James all fit. So got the creative trio behind him

    - Keep in mind DCL grabbed a hatty last time he faced westbrom this season . Digne playing OOP wingback further increases his potential

    All these factors conclude that DCL is a great shout for TC this gw.

    Agree? Thoughts are welcomed.

    1. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Agree he is a great option. It just their inconsistency and instability in injuries. James got injured and the whole game is changing. He is too coming back from injury.
      I really like the fixtures though - SOU with no Romeu probably too.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Honestly all factors leads towards a good haul. not to forget Everton will be buzzing after beating arch rivals after long time.

        If it fails just be it. There was good logic behind the decision regardless of the outcome

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He's got the form, he's got the fixtures - question is does he have the fitness?
      vc for me - going with Mr. Dependable, Bruno for c.

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

      In the last 3 pl games he’s played 28mins

    4. redsallstars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes defintely, im considering same option. got 28 mins v liverpool after his injury so he should start next 2 games with a weeks rest. great fixtures v 2 dire teams

  13. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sane, Mane, please dont tell me people are actually going Kane. It’s written in the stars that he fails this week.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Just because he has "ane"? or some other reason?

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

        Spurs have list their last 5

        The return fixtures against Burnley and Fulham produced a grand total of 2 goals for Spurs. They were quite good then

        So yes I think there’s reason 😉

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

      I brought him in because of price drops, and because of fixtures. I am not likely to captain him, however, with that honour either going to Sterling or Bruno. Citeh in Europe tonight, Utd tomorrow, there's loads of time to pick an arm.

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

        And he plays in the blank week

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

        It would be funny if Kane or Barnes etc were to get injured from the European games after the early transfers. Would teach everyone a lesson

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's written in The Atlantic, so if by 'stars' you mean Spuds' locker room, you're not far off.

  14. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Last pick for this week only

    A - Ayling
    B - Mings -4
    C - Stones -4
    D - Keane -4
    E - 5.4m or less def!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      D

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

      C

  15. AC Yew
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you make the following moves:
    Salah + Mee + Antonio --> Kane + Barnes + Evans.

    2 hits required. Only way I can afford Kane - have Son already.

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

      Not worth it for -8

      1. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thats my thoughts. Think I should just roll with Son?

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

          Yes

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

          Only thing is Kane also plays in blank week

          1. AC Yew
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I know. But its a choice between Salah or Kane.
            Have all my chips intact still.

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

              Hard choice

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

              See how European football goes first

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

      No point selling Salah in a -8 move. Any other way to get Barnes?

      1. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Straight swop with Son which leaves me with no Spurs assets. Not willing to lose anyone else in Midfield.

  16. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    75 points and a red arrow, tough week

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

      I got a small green at 75.
      What's your rank tier?

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I got a red with 79

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

      Must have a high rank

    4. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      72 and a very small red. Dallas ruined it for me!

  17. 1lifesoccer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Boost OR Wild Card
    Season defining Moment..!!

    A) 10 Double Gameweek players with a TC on Kane ( no minuses)

    or

    B) a -4 to get KWP to Aina / Rudiger and BB 12 DGW players with
    Dallas, Raph, Bamford all on bench ?

    I could go either way here.
    What do you think ?

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

      B imho. Then again you can still play the waiting game if you like. I feel like I would be glad to play the BB this week. Biggest double in fpl history and a decent game for Leeds even though I think Martinez will give them a tough time. Then you can really get the best out of the second wc not having to use money for say a second keeper.

      Actually I think I've just answered myself too below.

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

      I have exactly the same options and I am looking at going with B

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

    Two real options for me. Help choose, would you?

    A) Raph+Ings -> Barnes+DCL -4 for a solid 11 (no chips)

    B) Steer+Ings+Antonio->Lloris+DCL+Watkins -8 (BB with Marty and Leeds trio)

    As it is, neither options gets me Kane, B leaves me without Lei but gains me practically a free keeper this week, who also has 29. Watkins troubles me but can't afford a better option.

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

      Some very tight calls here.....but as you said Leeds playing a non Grealish Villa is a decent fixture and very good option for BB. Whilst maintaining 3 players that play in GW29

  19. Sanchit
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Early cap shout?
    Kane
    Bruno
    Salah
    Gundo

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

      Bruno

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

      Gundo doesn’t play CL he’s a good shout. If he had a premium price I think a lot more people would be captaining him

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

      If Gündogan *

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

    BB with Bamford + Raphinha + Struijk + Areola?

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

      I wouldn't.
      Leeds Vs AVL who have been good. Wouldn't be an easy game for Leeds

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

        Huge regret if it's similar to the score line in the reverse fixture!

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

        Yeah I think you forget what happened last time when Villa were stronger

    2. 1lifesoccer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Im in a very similar position ... see my post above.

      Leeds beat Villa 3-0 in the reverse fixture... so im very tempted to activate BB with 3 Leeds on the bench

      Look up for my two cents on it.

      Hi. Again, I say no.

    Is Vardy a good alternative to Kane. I have FOMO with Kane 🙁

    1. Andy_Social

      He is. Leicester look to be in very good shape, as opposed to a dysfunctional Spurs.

      1. FantasyClub

        3 years, 1 month ago

        He doesn’t. He’s a decoy for Barnes and Maddison. Simoly look at Vardys output since GW 15

        Simply*

      Yes, but only for this week. If looking till GW30, I would go for Kane.

      I have gone Kane and no Leicester. Don't know how they will perform with possibly Maddison out. Vardy himself has not looked that sharp. Plus Arsenal, Burnley, Brighton look good on the fixture tracker but they really aren't.

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

        All very good points. Vardy hasn’t had a haul since GW 14, highest has been 6 points and he’s a decoy for Barnes and Maddison now I feel and yes if Maddison is out Barnes and Vardys output may be greatly affected. Also yes Arsenal and Burnley aren’t walk overs

    Raph -> Barnes (-4)?

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

    1FT, 2.5ITB. Pick 1

    A. Ings -> DCL?
    B. A. above + Bednarek -> (DGW def for -4 Ricardo?)

    Martinez
    Dias Stones Mee
    Gundogan Bruno Salah Son
    Ings Watkins Bamford

    Pope Raphinha Dallas Bednarek

    1. CapK

      A+B

      Its a DGW, -4 is basically -2 and surely Ricardo will pay that back over the next few game week + hes a nice differential

      He's one of the best players in the prem when he's 100%!

      Good luck dude!

      Shouldn't have joined Twitter and capped Mee.

    Best 2 defensive options with a combined cost of 9.8 mil to complete this BB squad? (Will FH in GW29)

    Currently on Maitland-Niles + Stones (if Stones does not play tonight)

    Martínez - Areola
    Cancelo - AWB - Targett - ? - ?
    Salah - Fernandes - Maddison - Barnes - Gundogan
    Kane - DCL - Watkins

    1. CapK
      • 3 Years

      Aina from Fulham + Stones 100%

      Plays in blank and Fulham are not going to get relegated.....

      Maybe you should've gone for either with your ft?

    a) Dallas to Digne
    b) Raph to Barnes

      B

    I know that Grealish might not play one or even both DGW fixtures but the two fixtures are quite promising for the Villa attacking-wise. Not to forget they still have the likes of Barkley, McGinn, Traore in the attack.

    Hence I am still considering bringing in Ollie Watkins. Thoughts?

    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years

      I would say Wattkins is a good call, but recently Aston Villa is not convincing me at all, especially from the attacking point of view. Would need to check precisely but I think that in the last couple GWs they have the worst attacking stats in the league. If the double GW was a month or two ago fhat would be a no brainer for me but now I'm not so optimistic for Wattkins.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sounds sensible. Cheers

    2. sminkypinky

      I'm struggling with the same decision. Grealish back would help imo. I think I'll risk ot with Ollie.

  30. Sgt Frank Drebin

    Do you think KDB will even make both games in the double GW? To be honest I'm not sure. It would be 4 games in 2 weeks for a player returning from injury. But on ghe other hand Pep rarely rests KDB.
