Leeds today completed the signing of Laurens De Bock from Club Brugge. With that in mind, who should start for Leeds in the big game against Ipswich this Saturday? Let’s find out.

GK – Felix Wiedwald – I’m not sure I’ll ever be convinced by Wiedwald but he’s definitely better than Lonergan.

Into the defence…

RB – Gaetano Berardi – For the first time in recent memory, Berardi gets to play in his natural position. Luke Ayling being injured could be a huge loss, it depends largely on how Berardi performs.

CB – Pontus Jansson –
Jansson is riding high after winning the PFA Fans player of the month award, he wasn’t part of the catastrophe that was Newport so he’ll be raring to go come Saturday.

CB – Liam Cooper – It’s a shame we couldn’t get a look of Pennington in the cup but for now, Cooper retains his place.

LB – Laurens De Bock – Along with Berardi, how De Bock plays will have a big outlook on how bad we miss Luke Ayling. I’d have no qualms in throwing him straight into the team, it’s not like we have many options.

Into the midfield…

CM – Ronaldo Vieira – If fit to play, Vieira is a must start. It’s clear how much we’ve missed him recently.

CM – Eunan O’Kane – I’m a big fan of Kalvin Phillips but he looks like he needs a rest. O’Kane needs to get back to how he was playing for the first month or so of the season.

CAM – Pablo Hernandez – Pablo is in for a busy time due to Samu’s stupidity, we’re lucky we have such a high quality backup.

Into the attack…

RW – Ezgjan Alioski – It’s about time Alioski came back into form and after having a week off I wouldn’t be surprised to see the good Alioski shining on Saturday.

LW – Kemar Roofe – Roofe has quietly been one of our more consistent players so far this season and I expect him to start on Saturday.

ST – Pierre-Michel Lasogga – He was bad against Newport but we need to get him back into some form eventually. A lot of crosses into the box would be my plan.

Let us know which team you’d go with for the game in Ipswich!

    Front line: Sacko, Lasogga, Roofe.

    Alioski lacks speed, strength and resolve.
