As the leaders of the Championship, Leeds have arguably been the best team below the Premier League so far this term.
Right now, they have a seven-point lead over third place with nine games left, meaning they are in a good position to go up automatically to the promised land.
As a result, they have had some of the best players in the division, and that has been represented in The Yorkshire Evening Post’s second-tier XI of the season. No less than three players – Ben White, Luke Ayling and Kalvin Phillips – have been selected by the outlet’s writers alongside the likes of QPR’s Eberechi Eze, Fulham pair Joe Bryan and Aleksandar Mitrovic, as well as Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba.
Journalist Graham Smyth shared the article on his Twitter page, and it has got the club’s fans talking. There have been plenty of reactions to the side on the social media platform, and you can see some of the very best responses below.
Not wishing to discredit the journalists who selected this… But it should be noted at least one of them chose Wayne Rooney in their team of the year 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️#lufc #mot#whatdoesjackharrisonhavetodo

Klich and Dallas not even mentioned, these things are always about individuals and not how they’d work together

Only got as far as Brentford’s Romaine Sawyers

Somebody voted for Rooney? …utterly incomprehensible…

Difficult to disagree with that Graham, maybe have Harrison in though. Did you pick a manager, or was that too obvious ?

Get Bielsa as coach & they’d shock a few Prem teams
