But it's not all about new faces - some of the 'old boys' have been very solid over the first eight games for Marcelo Bielsa.

5.5 - The teenager, like Clarke, has made two appearances and, like Clarke, was better against Salford than Stoke. But the quality of opposition had a lot to do with that. Another promising youngster.placeholder image

6 - Good against Salford, not as good against an experienced Stoke side. Plenty in his cameos to suggest we'll see more of him this season.placeholder image

6.3 - Perhaps the best of Leeds' teenagers on display against Stoke. Had a difficult time against Salford. Just three appearances so far but he looks a genuine prospect. (Pic: PA)placeholder image

6.6 - Not yet fully off the leash, having to make an impact off the bench in league games. Looks quick, very capable of beating men and delivering crosses. Expect him to figure more prominently as season goes on.placeholder image
