Goalkeeper - Mr. Thomas from No. 25 - Good positioning & never unsighted.
Full-backs - the Jones brothers from No. 23 - Always give the opposition a roasting. Different gravy.
Centre-backs - the Phillips family from No. 29 - Coordinated, good teamwork & never leave any gaps between them.
Left winger - Mr. Speed from No. 11 - Speed by name. Speed by reputation.
Right winger - Mr Nolan at No. 21. Gets up like he’s on a step ladder. Wears gloves though - bit fancy at times.
Central midfield - Mr Cooney from No. 9 - No pushover although slow at getting up and down.
Attacking midfield - Mrs Sutton - Good vision. Makes things happen - even from impossible angles.
Centre forward - Mrs Harkin at No 17. Gets up to about 9ft in the air. Makes sure rest of team maintain their fluids.
Second striker - Banana birthday girl - partial to a slip in the penalty box.

When thinking about who to play in DM for Leeds the word "role" is important. Let's have a think about the role:


A lot of people think Struijk isn't good enough in the build-up phase. Well, what does the DM do in build-up?

Here's a passing network from last season:


As you can see, Phillips' role in the Championship last season was largely facilitating build up in the wide area (on the left interestingly).

Per Wyscout, Phillips is putting up a figure of 7.03 long passes per 90 minutes and completes around 59%. Last season he was making 6.94 long passes per 90 mins at around 52%.

Per dribbles he's putting up similar numbers across both seasons (between 1 and 1.5 p90) and per duels he's putting up the same number (20 p90).

All of this suggests his role hasn't changed much over the last couple of seasons.
