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.

      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Me too mentioned in few comments there that I need a training pic from him in order to captain him but he wasn't in the training video from LUFC TV so I didn't risked...

  24. Shark Team

    Bamford is probably the best 5.5 fwd I've ever seen in FPL

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Yeah

    2. Chrisitis

      2. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 11 Years

          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 days ago

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        Mid

      2. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        Michu was a midfielder in FPL back then

    4. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Gotta be Kane

    5. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Better than Mauro Boselli?!

    6. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

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

      Greenwood was 4.5m last season, when Utd attack was on form after lockdown he was great to own

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        Fkn nightmare for the first 30 weeks though

  25. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 days ago

    When you have Bamford 2nd on your bench

    ... but also have 4 non-players in the starting XI 😎

  26. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years

    Hats of to Raphinha and Bamford captainers, I just can't break my dullard EO play safe and worried about Kane ways.

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

      That's the 6th goal they have conceded to Leeds this season

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 days ago

        Goodness me, didn't realise that

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Leeds can score against anyone though.
