Leeds United’s position as the top team in the Championship reflects their reputation as one of the most thrilling teams in the league, evident from their frequent appearances on television. After a 2-0 victory over Millwall last weekend, Daniel Farke’s squad claimed the top spot for the first time and aims to maintain it until the end of the season.
Farke has earned significant praise for his work at Elland Road, especially considering the challenges faced at the start of the season. Despite not being big spenders in the transfer market, Leeds have made smart signings and boast a squad filled with quality players fit for the Premier League.
With many players yet to reach their peak performance levels, it is no surprise that the CIES Football Observatory ranks five Leeds players among the top 10 most valuable in the league, with the top three all regulars for the team. See below for a breakdown of the rankings:
- Illan Meslier – £18.54m
- Stephy Mavididi – £20.08m
- Abdul Fatawu – £23m
- Archie Gray – £23.77m
- Gavin Bazunu – £26.43m
- Wout Faes – £29.61m
- Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – £30.98m
- Crysencio Summerville – £31.93m
- Wilfried Gnonto – £34.07m
