Leeds have teamed up with Fantasy Football Scout to help bring you hints, tips and advice during the 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season.
Scout will be using their expertise to provide advice and gameweek tips which should prove useful in ensuring you win your mini-leagues.
Leeds United have made an encouraging start to the 2026/27 Premier League season and, as such, so have our players in FPL. All the regular starters in Daniel Farke’s side are on track to better their FPL points returns from last season over the course of the current campaign.
Here we assess the underlying data and what that means for investing in Leeds players over the coming weeks.
Leading the line:
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.0m) has had 19 shots so far this season. Of those, 17 have come from inside the box, 10 have been on target and eight have been defined as OPTA big chances. The England international is ranked in the top 10 forwards in the game for all of these metrics.
Meanwhile, Anton Stach (£6.0m), Ethan Ampadu (£5.3m) and Jayden Bogle (£4.8m) have all created a team-leading 10 chances this season. Stach has started seven encounters while Ampadu and Bogle have been deployed from the off in every game so far. Summer signing Harry Wilson (£6.1m) has also created an impressive nine chances across his three starts and five appearances from the bench.
Calvert-Lewin is top for expected goal involvements (xGI) across the Leeds side with a xGI of 4.76. This is sixth across all the forwards in the game. Bogle and Tarik Muharemović (£5.1m) are also posting some excellent attacking numbers, with Bogle third of all the defenders in the game for xGI. Muharemović has had seven shots this season, all from inside the box.
A strong defence:
However, it is not just Muharemović’s attacking numbers that make him one of the best defender picks in the game. The Bosnian has registered 14 Defensive Contribution points this season, the most of any player in the game. He has completed 112 defensive actions across the opening 10 weeks of the season, which only one player in the game can better.
Seven members of the Whites’ squad have recorded Defensive Contribution points this season. Of the backline, Nico Elvedi (£4.5m) and James Justin (£4.5m) have registered six with Jaka Bijol (£5.0m) collecting four.
The Leeds defence has kept four clean sheets so far this season. Only two teams in Premier League can better that tally. We have also conceded the sixth-fewest big chances in the top-flight and the fifth-fewest shots from inside the box. With strong defensive underlying data, investing in a Leeds defender in FPL could be a very sensible decision.
England international James Trafford (£5.0m) is having a fantastic season since his club-record signing in the summer. Of all the goalkeepers in the game, only two of the regular starters have conceded fewer goals than Trafford’s eight. The stopper has also made 37 saves this season, the second-most in the league which has resulted in nine save points. James’ 11 bonus points this season is more than any other goalkeeper.
