All-time Premier League table as Leeds United rank high despite 16-year absence

Leeds United have ranked 13th in the all-time Premier League table despite being absent for over half its 30-year existence. The Whites were an ever present during the first 12 years after winning the final Division One title in 1992, often challenging for European football.

But relegation and financial capitulation in 2004 sent Leeds into the Championship, and it would take 16 years, three seasons in League One and the appointment of now-legendary Marcelo bielsa to end that wait. But despite such a long time out of the top-flight, the club have maintained a strong position in the all-time table and, at the end of the 30th year, sit 13th in the 49-team table with 789 points.

Those points have been amassed in 544 games across 14 seasons, with an average of 56 points that would have been good enough for seventh place last season. The Whites best season in terms of points came during the 1994/1995 season under Howard Wilkinson in which 73 points earned a fifth place finish.
