Leeds United visit Ipswich Town in the Championship on Saturday afternoon with choices at Daniel Farke's disposal so we tasked our club writers to name the XIs they would pick
Examples could be made of Luis Sinisterra and Wilfried Gnonto this weekend by keeping them on the bench and showing them their routes back to the starting line-up will not be easy. And then you look at the current state of the squad.
Joel Piroe is the other elephant in the room. Clearly, the Dutch striker was signed well in advance of the deadline for weekend registrations, but United left a question mark hanging over his work permit and international clearance for the Suffolk trip. If Piroe does not get the green light, Rutter stays through the centre and Gelhardt can play between Sinisterra and Gnonto on the flanks. Further back, it’s as you were last week.
The Dutchman will take that number nine spot in my line-up and, all being well, that will be his for the rest of the campaign as the club look to build around him and several others in the line-up. That means there’s no place for Joe Gelhardt, who probably would have gotten the nod from me to lead the line if it wasn’t for the announcement of Piroe on Thursday night.
