📊Fantasy Overview
GW1 is away at Forest. Calvert-Lewin, Harry Wilson and a £4.5m defender (Rodon or Bogle) are the three names to check before the deadline. Predicted XI is on the lineup page. Open predicted XI →
Leeds carry one of the deepest midfields outside the top six, and that's where their fantasy value actually lives. Wilson, Stach and Okafor headline a group that also includes Aaronson, Gnonto, James and Harrison — genuine Premier League attacking talent spread across the £5.0-6.5m range. Calvert-Lewin gives them a proven top-flight centre-forward, and Elland Road is still one of the loudest home grounds in the division.

👥Full Squad & Prices
⭐Premium Picks
Wilson at £6.3m is the most expensive player in the squad and the most direct route to Leeds' attacking returns — set pieces, central or out wide, a long record of goal involvement at this level. Stach at £6.0m and Okafor at £5.9m are the alternatives: Stach for goal threat from deep, Okafor for pace in behind. Calvert-Lewin at £6.0m is the striker play whenever the service is actually flowing.
💷Budget Enablers
Perri at £4.5m is one of the better-value goalkeepers in the game — a busy keeper at a mid-table side racks up save points even on the days they lose. The defence is cheap right across the board: Rodon, Bogle, Gudmundsson, Justin, Bornauw and new arrival Nico Elvedi all sit at £4.5m, with Bijol and Muharemovic at £5.0m. Bogle and Gudmundsson are the two worth prioritising for attacking full-back upside.
🎽Captaincy Options
Leeds are a differential-captain side, not a default one. Wilson at home against bottom-half opposition is the most defensible armband, especially in a week where you need to make up ground. Against the top six, I'd keep the captaincy on a premium forward elsewhere — Leeds' returns are too fixture-dependent to trust with a doubled score.
🎯Differential Picks
This squad is full of them. Gnonto, James and Harrison at around £5.0m are all capable of a goal-and-assist gameweek at negligible ownership, and Piroe has a strong scoring record whenever he gets a real run in the side. Aaronson at £5.4m is the aggressive presser who picks up returns in bursts. Any of these can win you a rank week the moment they start.
⚠️Players to Avoid
Rotation is the single biggest risk here. Leeds carry ten-plus midfielders at similar prices, and Gnonto, James, Harrison, Aaronson, Okafor and Tanaka are all competing for a limited number of attacking berths. Never buy one without checking the last two lineups. Calvert-Lewin also carries a well-known injury history, so I'd treat him as a fixture-run asset rather than a season-long hold, and avoid doubling up on Leeds defenders against strong attacking sides.
