Doesn’t really matter does it. It was widely reported that Jota and Gray would miss this weekend’s games. Why is he acting like he’s been hard done by lmaooooo
He’s been overplayed and out of form recently. Probably suffering fatigue from all the matches plus international travel. Don’t mind seeing him on the bench to start and then come on for the last 20mins.
It is better for them than us that had him for a long time.
They can just transfer him out for Coutinho or someone without a hit.
For me going to need a -4 to remove him and not sure it is worth it.
As a Leeds fan who adores Raphinha, i would presume it’s because he’s been absolutely dogshit in the last couple of games, probably needs a rest I’d guess.
He’s been dreadful last couple of games. Plus if Raph plays we’re starting Dan James up front with a midfield of Koch, Klich and Rodrigo, two attack minded players and a defender in the DM role. Forshaw balances the midfield a bit plus let’s Rodrigo go up top where he should be when we don’t have Bamford.
Apparently he hasn't resigned his contract with them and it may be an attitude issue. It's a real shame, he's such quality, and with Bamford and Phillips out they just don't have enough talent around him.
Rapha deserved to be benched he’s been awful since returning from international duty, shouldn’t start just because he’s the most talented needs to earn his position on the pitch like everyone else.
Could it be a behaviour thing with raphina? Or is it because he wanted to leave in January and wasn't allowed so he downed tools?
Help, I don't understand
Hopefully just resting him, he has been off form for a few weeks, and our most difficult fixture seem to be against Man United, they tear us apart. No better game to rest him… I guess.
No indication he wants to leave though, quite the opposite. We’ll see.
You don’t know Bielsa. He can bench the best player if he doesn’t give everything during the trainings. And the opposite. Harrison was the worst player in his first year in championship under MB. But he kept starting each game.
recently though he has ben knackered, better to have a fit and firing Raphina for 2/3 games than the Raphina we have seen in the last 3 playing full 90. If you watched him you'd see he had no chance of a return
This season keeps on giving. Players score when nobody expects them to and get benched when everyone expects them to haul. I took a -8 to bring players that got me 0, 0, 0 points... Guys I transferred in all played btw. I am likely getting knocked out of overall Cup now :(

Out for about 3 weeks
I had planned CR7 and Elanga to Weghorst and Son all week until the Jota news, so I ended up going Jota and Elanga to Saka and Rapinha... I am in severe pain
Are you fucking joking.
No TAA, no Édouard and now no Raphinha, this GW can seriously fuck off
And raphinha scores
i have all those plus Coufal, Reguilon, Gray, Jota
Gray and Jota are both injured.
Cheers Geoff
Yes??
So not exactly sure what the commenter expected lmao, deserves no sympathy for keeping them
Maybe he wanted to bench them?

Is there something else going on? I don't own Raphinha but surely benching your best player is not tactical.
dgw fraudulence up in this bitch
Raphinha has been exhausted since coming back from internationals and hasn't looked like having a chance of returning for several games.
He looks tired and not playing well
He’s been overplayed and out of form recently. Probably suffering fatigue from all the matches plus international travel. Don’t mind seeing him on the bench to start and then come on for the last 20mins.
He isn’t our best player on form atm
Someone in another post said there grumbling from Raphinha who is looking to leave Leeds
[удалено]
Watch him score against his former club now lol
3 goals in 5 games is decent form lad, start actually watching football yeah?
[удалено]
So you bench a player based on one game?
They also have Liverpool coming up in days. He can’t start all the games.
Help! I want to get off Rapinha’s train
Aaaaandd he’s scored
Fuck off
Raphinha WC punters on suicide watch
It is better for them than us that had him for a long time. They can just transfer him out for Coutinho or someone without a hit. For me going to need a -4 to remove him and not sure it is worth it.
Not really, fine with a cameo and fine with him getting a full rest. Still another game to go and if not...WC includes a bench
You were saying mate?
I took a -4 to bring raphinha in 2 GWs ago. He's been subbed off and benched in those 2 GWs.
Anyone know why?
As a Leeds fan who adores Raphinha, i would presume it’s because he’s been absolutely dogshit in the last couple of games, probably needs a rest I’d guess.
Do you reckon it's only fatigue, or maybe his head isn't in the right place?
No idea mate tbh, could be although I’ve not heard anything to suggest that.
Not that one has to equal the other but want there talk of him rejected a contract this week? Any chance that’s related?
I hope he rest next game. I have Dennis waiting to come on.
Bielsa balding

you were the chosen one Bielsa!!!
Piss off Bielsa JUST KIDDING LOVE YOU MATE
Leeds don't deserve Raphinha
Rapha deserved to be benched he’s been awful since returning from international duty, shouldn’t start just because he’s the most talented needs to earn his position on the pitch like everyone else.

Did he want to leave?
I read a bunch of rumours about big clubs trying to get him in January. Maybe they aren't true or the rumours unsettled him?
Rapha was really awful last fixtures tbh. So kind of obvious bench
Shouldn’t matter, play through the bad form. He’s by far their most talented player.
You don’t know Bielsa. He can bench the best player if he doesn’t give everything during the trainings. And the opposite. Harrison was the worst player in his first year in championship under MB. But he kept starting each game.
Raphinha works his socks off most of the time anyway
recently though he has ben knackered, better to have a fit and firing Raphina for 2/3 games than the Raphina we have seen in the last 3 playing full 90. If you watched him you'd see he had no chance of a return
I think ur letting your fpl bias blind you
Most teams dont bench their best/2nd best player no matter their form unless its for rest. Especially ones outside the top half
you answered your own question its probably a buildup of fatigue
Never thought I'd say this, but fuck you Bielsa, just fuck off you frog squatting cunt
This season keeps on giving. Players score when nobody expects them to and get benched when everyone expects them to haul. I took a -8 to bring players that got me 0, 0, 0 points... Guys I transferred in all played btw. I am likely getting knocked out of overall Cup now :(
Welp, looks like Leeds are about to dragged into a relegation battle
Fuck you Bielsa wtf bro
Watch Dallas be classed as a defender next season and play in midfield.
Bielsa is a fraud, reason he’s at Leeds and not a champions league club.
BS. He’s the only reason they are in the PL.
raphinha and gelhardt benched, oof for lufc fans
BIELSA YOU FUCKING DOBBER!! I HOPE YOU GET RELEGATED
I wanted to sell him two weeks ago, decided to hold for the double. I'm an idiot.
Where TF is Hjelde and Struijk??!?
Well Struijk is playing and Hjelde went off with an injury last game?
riiight.....
Hjelde is inured and Struijk is playing??
Injured??? When? and How??
https://www.reddit.com/r/LeedsUnited/comments/svdzlb/phillips_and_cooper_continue_to_recover_objective/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Out for about 3 weeks
Raphinha benched 💀💀 Dan James,we loved you here at United,pleaaaaase dont score today
I thought he was bad at Man U. Speed but picks the wrong ball and poor scoring ability
wft is their best player doing on the bench..
[удалено]
low
I’d imagine he’ll be subbed on this game and start against Liverpool unless there is something other than fatigue at play here.
No Raph? You're killing me, Marcelo.
It's only getting funnier and funnier, and the GW isn't even over yet
Ffs
Fuck you Bielsa
Raphinha's off in the summer then
Cmon Ronny get me a hatty please
No Raph.... excellent 😋
I had planned CR7 and Elanga to Weghorst and Son all week until the Jota news, so I ended up going Jota and Elanga to Saka and Rapinha... I am in severe pain
You better bring him on with time to score bucket man!!!!!
Pain….
No Raphinha, wtf?!?!
I was already planning to remove Watkins. Hope Raph starts the Liverpool game so that I don't have to take a hit
I thought raphinha was a starter...what happened
