Team effort helping Leeds United Championship promotion push as goalscoring statistics emerge
After a rocky start, Leeds United are looking stable, with Daniel Farke guiding the Whites into the play-off places after 11 matches.
The West Yorkshire outfit currently sit fifth in the Championship table with 19 points to their name, 11 behind leaders Leicester City.
Those points have come from five wins and four draws, with the Elland Road side losing their other two matches of the campaign.
And importantly for Farke, there has not been one standout man in the Leeds squad, with the situation instead involving every player doing their bit.
That is epitomised by the goalscoring figures across England’s top four tiers this season, with the Whites boasting 11 different goalscorers so far, as per OptaAnalyst.
That total places them joint-third in the list, with Championship rivals Swansea City leading the way on 13. Directly behind the Swans are fellow Championship side Ipswich Town, League One outfit Oxford United and League Two duo Crewe Alexandra and Wrexham, all of whom have 12.
Then come Leeds with 11 different goalscorers, joined by league rivals Cardiff City, League One’s Peterborough United and League Two’s AFC Wimbledon.
A real team effort is needed in order to gain promotion from the hugely competitive Championship, and Farke can have no complaints in this area given how many different players have chipped in with important moments in the final third.
That said, a regular hitman who can find the back of the net with ease wouldn’t go amiss at Elland Road, but for now the man in the dugout cannot have too many complaints in these early stages of his tenure.
