‘Wow’, ‘Corrupt’, ‘Are you actually joking?’ – Some Leeds fans rage at EFL tweet over Ben White
Leeds United fans have been raging at the fact Ben White has missed out on being named in the FIFA 20 EFL Team of the Season So Far.
On Friday, the EFL tweeted the team via their official Twitter account, which prompted a lot of anger from Leeds fans who couldn’t believe that White, 22, had missed out.
Leeds’ influential midfielder Kalvin Phillips did, unsurprisingly, make the cut but fans have every right to feel aggrieved about White’s omission.
White has been the best centre-back in the Championship this season, without question.
We understand that this is an EFL team so there have to be some players from League One and League Two included but White really should be in there over West Brom’s Semi Ajayi.
The Nigeria international has been brilliant for the Baggies this season – don’t get us wrong – but he simply hasn’t been as good as White.
If you’re looking at a Championship-wide centre-back pairing then it probably would be White and Ajayi so maybe the EFL and FIFA should have agreed one doing a bigger squad of players for this team.
Some Leeds fans already have it in for the EFL and this tweet has not really sweetened the relationship between the governing body and the supporters.
Here is a selection of their tweets:
