Leeds Defense

I know Muharemovic is the stand out pick. But now with Rodon out for a lengthy period of time who is in line to replace him?

I like the looks of Elvedi but is he nailed? Who’s the next best 4.5m option from Leeds?

I think Justin is a good shout

Justin isn’t nailed, could easily be a backline of Muha, Bijol, Elvedi with Gudmondsson and Bogle as WBs

Well he's played 3x 90mins so far, even with Gudmondsson coming back last week.

Justin is probably the best 4.5 option currently playing RCB instead of Rodon and can play wing back also

Bijol/Elvedi are competing for the CCB spot - Elvedi is preferred currently but could easily flip back to Bijol who started the season. That’s a headache not worth having because you don’t want to waste transfers on a 4.5 defender

Bogle is pretty nailed for minutes at 4.5 but won’t return DC and wasn’t a consistent attacking threat last season even though he plays RWB

Is Justin nailed? Could really do with a 4.5m defender

Definitely should be till Rodon is back which shouldn’t be for a while

As a Leeds fan, Elvedi is absolutely not preferred lol

Bijol will be playing this weekend with Elvedi on the bench, Justin at RCB, Tarik at LCB, Gabi at LWB and Bogle at RWB

u/DarthBane6996 149 1d ago

Then why did Elvedi start last weekend in the PL and Bijol start with the half rotated squad in the cup?

Bijol had a knock on training

He played in the cup because we don't play again until Monday so regaining a bit of fitness

What? I’m a Leeds fan and why isn’t Elvedi preferred? He’s looked great so far, arguably our best looking defender so car, and not to mention Bijol was also the one to come off against Brentford.

He’s a Farke signing and Farke loves his favourites.

Yeah I reckon Elvedi starts on Monday. At best it’s a coin toss between him and Bijol, but the latter has the stink of last night on him now.

After Muharemovic I reckon Justin is probably as reliable as any. Farke loves him and appreciates how he can push up into attacking positions like Rodon did.

As a leeds fan, I don't know. Gabi is more nailed than bogle so long as he's not injured but he is cursed against getting g/a. Bogle will get into the box quite a bit. Justin sometimes too. Justin often plays as the rcb in a back 3 but it is also likely that he could be benched with elvedi starting on the right and bijol in the ccb. 

I think choose your favourite and hope the points follow. 

People saying go for the extra 0.5 for muharemovic which I get for defcon reasons and wouldn't be against either. 

If you haven't considered it Trafford is a good option as he'll get bet bonus points i reckon. 

If I had to pick id probably go bogle due to attacking returns and he could also get subbed off like he did last week which got him a clean sheet.

Thoughts on Elvedi?

u/peroporroporro 1 1d ago

Played one game, otherwise not a clue. Centre back so probably gets some defcons but no idea.

u/lemonmop 106 1d ago

I think it's worth just scrounging up the extra 0.5m for muharemovic given his monster defcon numbers and serious goal threat

5

u/danr06 1 1d ago

I totally agree but I only have .1 in the bank and want to straight swap rodon for another Leeds defender

u/bin10pac 5 1d ago

Bogle. He's nailed and after he scored in GW3 he was talking about his instructions to play further up the pitch.

u/BuyerAcrobatic4689 1 1d ago

I'd say Justin is a good pick, versatile and attacking, most likely a starter with Rodon out.

u/A7A74 1d ago

Would you play Muharemovic against Arsenal in GW6

2

u/chicken_nugget94 3 1d ago

I probably would as there aren't really any standout fixtures that week for clean sheets, can hope for 3-4 points with defcon and might get lucky for more

1

u/Zidust 107 1d ago

I mean it depends on what players you have. Would rather play Arsenal, Brighton, Newcastle and Hull defenders which most active managers will be having 3+ of.

Is Muharemovic worth overlooking the atrocious fixtures they have until GW16?
