Leeds summer recruits top WhoScored ratings as Liverpool and Sunderland await | OneFootball

Leeds United approach the season’s halfway stage with trips to Liverpool and Sunderland, and WhoScored’s average ratings highlight their most consistent performer so far. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Ilia Gruev currently leads the way.

Daniel Farke’s side have had mixed results since returning to the Premier League after a dramatic Championship title clinched on the final day of last season. A largely rebuilt squad followed a busy summer window.

The Whites have spent much of the campaign in the bottom six, though recent wins over Chelsea and Crystal Palace have lifted optimism for the second half.

Among the leading averages so far are James Justin on 6.13, Jack Harrison on 6.10 and Daniel James on 6.09. Joel Piroe has 5.99, while Sam Byram is at 5.88. Gruev tops the group with 6.17.

Leeds now visit the reigning champions Liverpool before facing former Championship promotion rivals Sunderland, tests that will measure whether momentum can build.
