Leeds United reached the 10-game milestone of their Premier League season on Saturday, albeit with a disappointing 3-0 defeat at Brighton. Daniel Farke’s squad are now over a quarter of the way through their top-flight return and so far, there have been plenty of positives to take alongside some early concerns.
What’s clear is that injury permitting, Farke will rely on a core of first-team regulars to get Leeds over the line between now and May. The German is not one for unnecessary rotation and over the last 10 games, it’s become clearer who is a nailed on starter, who looks set for the bench and who is struggling to make matchday squads.
With virtually everyone fit as things stand, there are some senior players being left out entirely and a small dip in form has led to calls for a change or two in the starting line-up. Below, the YEP takes a look at the status of all 25 registered Premier League squad members.

19. RW: Brenden Aaronson
Currently first-choice on the right although it feels like that could change soon, with other options returning to fitness. Will almost certainly always be in the squad, such is his durability. | Getty Images

20. RW: Daniel James
Could come back into the starting line-up at Forest after a few substitute appearances. | Getty Images

21. LW/RW: Willy Gnonto
Can operate comfortably on either side, unlike other wide options. Only likely to start on the right at the minute, however, given Okafor's nailed-on status when fit. | Getty Images

22. LW: Jack Harrison
Come off the bench eight times, starting once when most others were injured. A decent bench option given his energy and defensive work rate. | Getty Images

23. ST: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Led the line really well so far, even if goals have been lacking. Will remain first choice for as long as Leeds can keep him fit, which is going well so far. | Stu Forster/Getty Images

24. ST: Lukas Nmecha
Stylistically the most similar to Calvert-Lewin and therefore his obvious back-up. Featured in every game so far but only started on the opening weekend against Everton. | Getty Images
