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.

    Gwan the Leeds boys!

    Dallas scoring would have topped it off but I just hope Kane plays now (no suggestion he won’t) because I made Dallas VC!

    21 for 3. Delighted with that, given that two of the three (Bamford and Strujik) were doubtful starters.

      Depends on how many players it took to get that score. 4 or less is good.

      Because he was injured, in poor form, and was against a team who've been decent defensively.

      Obviously I benched him on FH.

          1 return in 6 games and declining stats. Don't get me wrong, he's in my non-FH team and I start him every week, but he certainly wasn't an auto-pick for this week.

          In hindsight I should have just started him, as a defensive move. Frustrating to see him haul when so many non-FH teams have him.

            Law of averages meant a return was on the cards soon then - but I get your point, on a FH there are myriad reasons not to pick him. Bitter pill to swallow, but you might yet be v happy with your GW - keep positive!

    I 'sold' him but was on FH so don't know if that actually gets counted in the stats or not, I'm imagine not?

    I had been pondering keeping him in the team on the basis that Bielsa had seemed reasonably positive about him and if he wasn't fit then Raphina would come off the bench, but couldn't bring myself to field a flagged player on a week where I could pick any players I want in case there was a random spate of players getting dropped or surprise illness elsewhere.
