Foshaw for Phillips

Whiteknight

Vital Reserves Team
This may be how Leeds Utd would lineup the next match.
(If Raphina, Ayling, Harrison, Koch, Llorente, Struijk remain unavailable)

Meslier in goal

Midfielder by trade, Phillips is by far the best defender at Leeds Utd at the moment.
Partner him with Cooper would provide the calming influence for a nervous defence.
Not much passes through the left against Newcastle. Firpo and James do not function very well together over there.
But moving Summerville to that side could allow Firpo to impose his style more on a younger lad.
Shackleton at RB, with James further in front guarantees speed and cut-ins.

Forshaw could operate in the role of Phillips.
Klich pivots the midfield with Dallas pulling the strings.
Rodrigo who is coming along nicely and back to his clinical best should start as the lone striker with Bamford behind.
It make sense as Bamford naturally tracks back and is stronger defensively compared to Rodrigo. This will give Leeds Utd numerical advantage defensively.
