Bamford starts in unchanged Leeds team as Fulham name three-man midfield

Patrick Bamford (£6.7m) has overcome his recent yellow flag to start for Leeds in the opening match of Blank Gameweek 29.

The forward came off early in the Gameweek 28 draw with Chelsea and, after Marcelo Bielsa expressed confidence of his involvement, has kept his place in the starting XI.

Leeds are unchanged from the side that kept Thomas Tuchel’s men out on Saturday, which means Stuart Dallas (£5.1m) earns another central-midfield berth alongside Tyler Roberts (£4.6m).

Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m) anchors the midfield while Ezgjan Alioski (£4.3m) and Luke Ayling (£4.4m) are either side of Pascal Struijk (£4.0m) and Diego Llorente (£4.4m) in defence.

Since Gameweek 20, Chelsea are the only team to keep more clean sheets than Fulham and they are in 4-3-3 formation once again tonight.

André-Franck Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) joins Harrison Reed (£4.4m) and Mario Lemina (£4.5m) in a busy midfield trio while Ademola Lookman (£5.1m) and Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m) are either side of Josh Maja (£5.5m) in a front-three.

Ola Aina (£4.6m) is stationed on the right-hand side of defence tonight with Antonee Robinson (£4.4m) handed a left-back berth.

Blank Gameweek 29 Line-ups

Fulham XI (4-3-3): Areola; A Robinson, Adarabioyo, Andersen, Aina; Anguissa, Lemina, Reed; Lookman, Maja, Cavaleiro.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Alioski, Struijk, Llorente, Ayling; K Phillips; Harrison, Dallas, Roberts, Raphinha; Bamford.

    Dallas cleanie gone 🙁

    1. Rainer

      Dallas owes us nothing.

      Defensive EO means a CS was fairly useless too.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        Still less than 100% though for him

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 days ago

          Winner will do 🙂

    If only Fulham had a decent attack. The rest of the team is decent

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Yep, lacking a proper goalscorer who can turn those draws into wins

        1. DickFranDyke
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 days ago

            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 days ago

    Brought in Bamford and Lookman purely on the basis that I'm busy all weekend and wanted interest tonight

  17. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

  20. Vamos Los Celeste
    • 10 Years

    First time owning Dallas.
    Does he score later in the game when he concedes?

  21. Roy Hudd
    • 7 Years

    Yes, wait until his porridge kicks in..

  24. Scoring freely
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    Goal came from that useless **** Alioski giving away a needless corner.

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Ayling defended poorly on the corner tho, soft goal

  25. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    8 points from 3 Leeds players is still a decent return, no? Especially as I held them for 6 weeks and ignored all other players because they had a fixture this week.

  26. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Ayling can F right off!
