Leeds United minutes ranked as clear leader emerges and eight in select club | OneFootball

Leeds United finished eight points above the drop in their first season back in the Premier League, with minutes tallied for all 24 players. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, eight players passed 2000 minutes, another was close, and one player logged comfortably more than anyone else.

Daniel Farke made few changes overall, yet a major switch during November’s defeat at Manchester City was widely viewed as pivotal to their upturn.

Two down at half-time, he moved to a 5-3-2. Leeds drew level at 2-2 before a last-gasp 3-2 defeat at the Etihad.

The shape, built on defenders and wing backs, largely remained. Leeds lost only five further league games, sealed survival with three to spare, then finished 14th.

The club’s minutes ranking is set out in reverse order.

24th Sam Byram, eight minutes, 23rd Facundo Buonanotte on 36, 22nd Joel Piroe on 246, 21st Jack Harrison on 264, 20th Sebastiaan Bornauw on 433, and 19th Willy Gnonto on 527.
