Leeds Squawka Score ratings 2025-26
As the 2025-26 season enters its final third, we’ve reviewed Leeds’ most-used XI and assessed how each player has performed so far, using the Squawka Score rating system.
The Squawka Score is a metric developed to assess a player’s performance related to other players in the same position. It’s a percentage rating from 0 to 100, calculated based on various per-90-minute statistics, including the obvious stats such as goals and assists, but also some more obscure ones that are more position-specific.
GK: Lucas Perri – 55% – The summer signing ranks in the bottom 20th percentile for save percentage and total saves, while also scoring poorly for diving saves. He had just one clean sheet in his last 14 appearances and was dropped early in 2026, never re-earning his place over Karl Darlow.
RB: Jayden Bogle – 49% – Bogle scores poorly among full-backs with a score of just 49%. He has struggled in ground duels and completed passes into the final third, though he has at least chipped in with a few assists.
CB: Joe Rodon – 57% – Rodon posted respectable numbers in both ground and aerial duels, but his tackle output remains relatively low in comparison, which has gradually decreased his score in the final few months of the season.
CB: Pascal Struijk – 57% – Struijk had a similar season to his centre-back partner, posting solid scores across the board during Leeds’ 2026 resurgence.
LB: Gabriel Gudmundsson – 55% – Gudmundsson drew encouragement from his ground duel success rate, tackles won, and open play crosses completed, but failed to deliver a single goal or assist all season.
RCM: Sean Longstaff – 61% – A summer signing from Newcastle, Longstaff’s numbers are quite average, with the exception of tackles won. He also missed a number of games due to a calf injury.
DM: Ethan Ampadu – 59% – The Leeds skipper is one of the club’s most influential players, leading by example in the centre of the park. He scored highly for interceptions, take-on success, and aerial duel success over the campaign.
LCM: Anton Stach – 69% – Stach has transformed into one of Leeds’ highest-rated players, posting an impressive 69%. A key presence in midfield, he has excelled at disrupting opponents with his physicality and interceptions, while also showcasing his passing range and contributing with goals and assists.
RW: Brendan Aaronson – 62% – Aaronson has contributed nine goals this season, with four goals and five assists. Particularly impressive over and since the festive period, but while he may not post spectacular metrics, he ranks solidly as a winger for big chances created and shots on target.
FW: Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 61% – Calvert-Lewin enjoyed a fantastic second half of the season and was key to Leeds’ survival, scoring 14 goals in 35 appearances.
LW: Noah Okafor – 66% – Okafor finished the campaign on a respectable eight goals from out wide, also registering an assist.
Leeds set-piece specialists:
- Penalties: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lukas Nmecha
- Free-kicks: Anton Stach, Sean Longstaff
