<h2><strong>Essential Leeds FPL Stats | Attacking Numbers</strong></h2>
<p>The interest in both <strong>Raphinha (£6.5m)</strong> and <strong>Jack Harrison (£6.0m)</strong> is well-founded as <strong>Leeds</strong> are a team that loves to play down the flanks.</p>
<p>They had the 5<sup>th</sup> most chances from both the left (137) and the right (139) last season. This split seems to indicate there isn&#8217;t much between the two players, but there are some differentiating factors.</p>
<p>For me, <strong>Raphinha</strong> is more integral to what the team do creatively, and <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-set-piece-takers/"><strong>he&#8217;s on set pieces</strong></a>. Leeds had the 3<sup>rd</sup> most attempts from corners last season (81), which bodes well for the Brazilian.</p>
<p>What does not bode as well is that despite the number of corners, the <strong>2<sup>nd</sup> most crosses</strong> (786), and the <strong>3<sup>rd</sup> most headed shots</strong> (96), they also had the 5<sup>th</sup> lowest cross completion (20.9%), the 2<sup>nd</sup> largest drop in pass completion in the final third (-4.8%), and only registered <strong>eight headed goals</strong>.</p>
<p>Maybe they should have made a move for Olivier Giroud.</p>
<p>Leeds were a team who would make the most of their opportunities on goal, boasting the <strong>3<sup>rd</sup> highest expected goals on target</strong> (60.9). With an xG of 56.35, Leeds adds the most xG to shots when on target (4.54).</p>

<h2><strong>Essential Leeds FPL Stats | Defensive Numbers</strong></h2>
<p>From a chance creation perspective, Leeds were always an adventurous side, but <strong>the lows of those adventures were often quite low</strong>.</p>
<p>They had the 3<sup>rd</sup> most unsuccessful passes resulting in the <strong>most errors leading to a chance (21)</strong>. To compound the errors, they conceded the 4<sup>th</sup> most penalty kicks (9), and the <strong>goalkeeper parried the most saves to the opposition</strong> (31).</p>
<p><strong>Leeds are best attacked through the middle</strong> and are vulnerable in the air. No team conceded more chances in the centre of the pitch than Leeds (174) compared to 111 on the left and 137 on the right.</p>
<p>These chances did not come from crosses; they conceded the 6<sup>th</sup> fewest crosses from the left (334) and 3<sup>rd</sup> fewest crosses from the right (139).</p>
<p>Despite conceding the 5<sup>th</sup> most big chances (83) – the same as <strong>Fulham</strong> – they also took away the most expected goals when defending shots on target. They had an <strong>expected goals allowed of 58.71</strong> but an impressively lower expected goals on target allowed of 51.20. That’s -7.51 xG when on target.</p>
<p>Leeds seem to be an evolving team who can still be hurt by clinical finishers operating in the middle of the field. Whoever starts at centre-forward for <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-manchester-united-fpl-players/"><strong>Manchester United</strong></a> could have a fun start to the season.</p>
