Although Daniel Farke has steadied the ship at Elland Road, Leeds still had quite the start to their 2023/24 campaign.
New owners in 49ers Enterprises, Farke in as the new manager and a number of incoming and outgoing transfers.
Much of the transfer business was done after the Championship season had started too, meaning that it was a good few weeks into the season before the German could see anything resembling a settled starting XI.

That’s because, according to Phil Hay in The Athletic (subscription required), the all whites could be made to sell a number of their first-team stars if they remain in the Championship.
It could see the likes of Willy Gnonto, Charlie Cresswell, Joe Gelhardt and others making way.
