Manager
Daniel Farke
In charge since July 2023
Patient, possession-based 4-2-3-1. A double pivot controls tempo while wide playmakers create overloads — technical rather than frantic.
Leeds secured safety last season and have started 2026/27 well, with Farke in talks over a longer deal.

Are Leeds United FC a safe survivor pick?
Across the last 1 Premier League season — 2025/26 (14th) — Leeds United FC avoided defeat in 66% of their league games. That is the baseline a survivor player should start from before looking at this week's fixture.
This season they have played 9, winning 2, drawing 5 and losing 2, with 9 scored and 8 conceded. At home they are 1-3-0; away from home 1-2-2.
The split matters: they stay unbeaten in 100% of home games versus 60% on the road, so Leeds United FC are a safer survivor pick at home.
Recent form reads D-L-D-D-L (oldest first), meaning they have come through 60% of their last 5 matches without losing.
