Marc Roca - Creates one chance in win Roca created one chance and put one shot on target during 73 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolves.
Impact Roca wasn't the most involved during this game his defensive work consisted of two interceptions and one tackle won. Until Adam Forshaw is back, Roca figures to stick in the lineup, but a defensive role isn't likely to benefit him much in fantasy.

Brenden Aaronson - Logs five crosses in EPL debut Aaronson put one shot off target and logged five crosses (zero accurate) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Impact Aaronson fit the part during his first league match in England under manager and compatriot Jesse Marsch. While he might not take on the same burden as Jack Harrison as he continues adjusting to a new team, Aaronson did take two set pieces and this will keep him involved in the attack. It's still worth watching out for how Dan James fits into the side because he and Aaronson share a similar position and this could impact the fantasy value of both.

Daniel James - Available after suspension James is available to play after serving his three-match suspension.
Impact James played with the youth team last weekend to get his fitness up and he'll be ready to take part going forward. The question is where he fits in the formation, as it seems like a mistake for Brenden Aaronson to be removed after his debut. There's a chance James takes the role of Rodrigo, something that could push James wide and Aaronson to a central role.

Illan Meslier - Beaten early in victory Meslier allowed a goal while making five saves during Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolverhampton.
Impact Meslier allowed the opening goal of the match in the sixth minute but held Wolves from there as Leeds came from behind for all three points. The keeper offset the goal with five saves as he'll look to continue a good start to the season against Southampton next week.

Jack Harrison - Main creator for Leeds Harrison had an assist while crossing six times (three accurate) and creating seven chances during Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolverhampton.
Impact Harrison set up Rodrigo in the 24th minute assisting Leeds' first goal of the match. The attacker didn't take a shot, but finished with team-high totals in both crosses and chances created in the victory.

Rodrigo Moreno - Scores on opening day Rodrigo scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal) and crossing twice inaccurately during Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolverhampton.
Impact Rodrigo found the back of the net in the 24th minute leveling the score for Leeds. The attacker finished with the third highest amount of crosses on the team while tying for the team-high with three shots in the victory.

Rasmus Kristensen - Makes four clearances Kristensen made two interceptions, two tackles (winning both) and four clearances during Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolverhampton.
Impact Kristensen was a part of the Leeds back line that allowed just one goal on Saturday. The fullback finished with the second highest amount of interceptions on the team while tying for the team-high with four clearances in the win.

Patrick Bamford - Fires two shots Bamford took two on target shots during Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolverhampton.
Impact Bamford led the line for Leeds, but was held off the scoresheet during Saturday's match. The forward didn't cross or create a chance but his two shots were the second most on the team in the victory.

Luis Sinisterra - Will miss opener Sinisterra (hamstring) will miss Saturday's opener but is expected to return to full training next week, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact This isn't too surprising for Sinisterra, as he tweaked his hamstring a couple weeks ago in a friendly. His goal will be to not return too early, especially playing in a new league that is more physical. For now, he's expected to be more of a bench option until he can familiarize himself with the league.

Luke Ayling - Hoping to train soon Ayling (knee) is "ahead of schedule" and is hoping to train in a couple weeks, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact Ayling was given an original timeline around September and that still looks to be the case. He'll hope to train by the end of the month and if all goes well, he'll be an option to start in a month. Until he's ready, Rasmus Kristensen is expected to feature at right-back for Leeds.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Adam Forshaw - Aiming to train next week Forshaw (knee) is hoping to train next week, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact Forshaw tweaked his knee a couple weeks ago and it's still bugging him, so he'll miss Saturday's opener. His absence should make it fairly easy for Marsch to select his midfield, as newcomers Marc Roca and Tyler Adams figure to fill into that spot with Forshaw a definite absence.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Junior Firpo - Remains couple weeks away Firpo had a recent scan on his knee and is two or three weeks away from the pitch, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact Firpo suffered an MCL injury a few weeks ago and fortunately it looks like he's ahead of schedule. That still means Leeds will be without a true left-back to open the campaign, as early signs point to Pascal Struijk starting in that position against Wolves and Southampton, at a minimum.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Liam Cooper - Hopeful to train next week Cooper (Achilles) will miss Saturday's opener against Wolves but is hopeful to return to team training next week, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact This isn't too surprising for Cooper, who didn't feature in the preseason and hasn't been training with the team. The good news is that he's edging closer and could be available in a couple weeks. Until then, it's expected Robin Koch and Diego Llorente will feature at center-back in early matches.

Sam Greenwood - Extends Leeds contract Greenwood has signed a new, long-term contract with Leeds keeping him at the club until 2026.
Impact Greenwood made seven appearances last season and hopes to increase that role going forward, aided by a new contract. He still figures to be more of a bench option this season, if not youth player, though the club clearly has confidence in his ability to grow.

Joe Gelhardt - Signs new Leeds contract Gelhardt has signed a new, long-term contract with Leeds, keeping him at the club until 2027.
Impact Gelhardt really came on last season when he appeared in 20 matches while Patrick Bamford was dealing with an injury. Gelhardt figures to grow his role in the coming years, though with Bamford in the squad, he'll likely remain in mostly a bench role, something that could change if more injuries brew up in the Leeds attack.
