The problem when you descend on the Championship from the Bernabeu is that everyone expects you to be dynamite. Hes been less sensational than that, although not as bad in the main as he was at Ipswich. 6/10placeholder image

It has to be said that Leeds defending has not been any better with him out of the team. You can see what Bielsa likes about Casilla but his initial first choice did him a good turn. 7/10placeholder image

Made one appearance against Bristol City and was helped by them going down to 10 men but having been dropped in the deep end without much warning, he earned pass marks comfortably. 7/10placeholder image

Went through a noticeable dip around Christmas but has come out the other side of that and is one player in form at the right time. Not on a par with his first season here, but decent. 7/10placeholder image

A little strange that Bielsa hasnt felt tempted to used him more. Looks ready, rounded and full of running, and has rarely been found wanting. 7/10placeholder image

Has had a difficult few weeks but over the course of the season, was good enough to merit consideration for the Championships team-of-the-year. Has felt more like a team player. 8/10placeholder image

He and Kalvin Phillips have undergone the biggest changes with Bielsa as head coach and Coopers passing has improved drastically. People in the club speak highly of his captaincy too. An excellent year. 9/10placeholder image

This could have been a great campaign for him but injury has ruined it and with Dallas in at left-back, he might not get much of a sniff in the play-offs. 6/10placeholder image

How long he would have coped with first-team football is difficult to say but he didnt look fazed by an opportunity which came at him quickly and hes one to watch. 7/10placeholder image

A disappointment if truth be told. Came with a stellar reputation from Wolves but Leeds havent seen enough of his strengths and injuries have been a problem too. 6/10placeholder image

Frustrating as a left winger but much more effective on the left side of defence, even if the quality of his deliveries was still lacking. A workrate to match all others. 7/10placeholder image

Villa away was a severe baptism and Davis grew into that match gradually. Bielsa is probably asking a bit much of him too soon but Davis has the look of a good prospect. 6/10placeholder image

Youll do well to remember his appearances, including one where he was subbed on and subbed off again. Safe to say that he wasnt someone Bielsa felt he needed. 5/10placeholder image
