Jayden Bogle - Scores rare goal Saturday Bogle scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 6th minute.

Impact Bogle found the back of the net in the first half after a rebound from Bart Verbruggen and a low cross from Ao Tanaka allowed the defender to score into the open goal from close range. Don't expect Bogle to become a reliable scoring weapon overnight, though. He should continue to earn most of his fantasy contributions via defensive-minded stats.

Joe Rodon - Out eight to 10 weeks Rodon (hamstring) will be sidelined for eight-to-10 weeks with a serious hamstring injury, according to coach Daniel Farke, per Leeds Live. "Bad news with Joe. Serious hamstring in...

Impact Rodon's injury is a significant blow to Leeds after the center-back was forced off just 34 minutes into Sunday's draw against Brentford. The confirmed timeline will keep him out of Saturday's clash against Brighton and potentially through much of the next two months. Nico Elvedi, who replaced Rodon against Brentford and earned praise from manager Daniel Farke, is expected to step into the starting XI at center-back during his extended absence.

Jean Matteo Bahoya - Loaned to Leeds United Bahoya has joined Leeds United on loan from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt for the remainder of the 2026/27 season.

Despite his ups and downs, Bahoya scored once and delivered three assists over a six-game period when he made regular starts for Frankfurt, highlighting his intensity when pushing towards the opposing goal.

Melvin Bard - Joins Leeds United Bard completed a season-long loan move from Nice to Leeds United on Tuesday. The deal also includes an option to make the transfer permanent.

Impact Bard will add another reliable presence on the left side of the Leeds defense, and if his performances are impressive enough, the Elland Road outfit has the option to sign him permanently at any point before the loan expires.

Jaka Bijol - Four clearances before halftime exit Bijol recorded four clearances and one interception in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Bijol started in Leeds' back three before being replaced at halftime as manager Daniel Farke altered his system with Leeds trailing 1-0, registering four clearances and one interception in 45 minutes as part of a defensive structure that was consistently tested by Brentford's dominant first-half performance. He was part of a Leeds defense that conceded Kevin Schade's 41st minute opener but had also limited Brentford to few other clear-cut chances across the opening period. Bijol has now started both of Leeds' opening Premier League matches and faces competition for a starting berth as the coach continues to balance defensive solidity with second-half tactical flexibility.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Brenden Aaronson - Plays one half in draw Aaronson recorded one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Aaronson started the match but was replaced at halftime as manager Daniel Farke made two changes with Leeds trailing 1-0, registering one tackle won and one clearance across 45 minutes in which he struggled to impose himself against Brentford's dominant midfield possession. His removal was a tactical decision as Farke altered the system to give Leeds more attacking thrust in the second half. Aaronson has now started both of Leeds' Premier League fixtures and faces competition for his place as the coach continues to assess his options in the attack.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Elvedi - Plays first Premier League minutes Elvedi generated one tackle (one won), three clearances and one interception in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Elvedi came on in the 34th minute to replace the injured Joe Rodon (hamstring) on his Elland Road debut, making one tackle won, three clearances and one interception in 56 minutes as he helped Leeds stabilize defensively after an enforced change disrupted their back three. He was composed throughout a match where Brentford's attacking quality tested the Leeds back line on multiple occasions, and his composure under pressure provided immediate reassurance given the circumstances of his introduction. Elvedi has now made his first Premier League apperances and is set for a larger role until Rodon returns to full speed.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Ao Tanaka - Three tackles off bench Tanaka registered three tackles (zero won) and four clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.

He helped Leeds press higher up the pitch and contribute to the territorial dominance that ultimately produced Dominic Calvert-Lewin's equalizer in the 78th minute. Tanaka has featured in only one of Leeds' two Premier League matches this season as he is expected to hold a rotational role moving forward for the Whites.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Tarik Muharemovic - 11 clearances in draw Muharemovic recorded one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brentford.

Impact Muharemovic made a crucial defensive header to clear a dangerous Mikkel Damsgaard delivery during Brentford's first-half dominance, also registering two interceptions across 90 minutes as one of Leeds' center-backs in the back three system. He was solid throughout a match where Brentford dominated the opening 45 minutes, helping shield James Trafford from clear-cut chances beyond the two times the goalkeeper was beaten or forced into outstanding saves. Muharemovic has started both of Leeds' Premier League fixtures and has recorded four interceptions and 16 clearances across the opening two matches as a reliable presence in manager Daniel Farke's defensive setup.
