Leeds United are well on the way when it comes to their signings this summer. Victor Orta has already completed deals for Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen, whilst various reports link Marc Roca, Takumi Minamino and Valentin Castellanos to the club as further targets.
A significant revamp of the first XI is necessary before next season, as the Whites badly struggled in 2021/22 and only avoided relegation back to the Championship on the final day of the Premier League season. However, while Leeds are keen to improve their team, they know that there is genuine interest from top clubs in their star players, Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha. The Whites are hopeful of agreeing a new contract with Phillips, although Raphinha is perhaps more likely to leave.
As such, here are two potential line-ups, in Jesse Marsch's two favoured formations of 4-2-2-2 and 4-2-3-1. For the purposes of this, Raphinha is presumed to have left, with Phillips remaining.
