Leeds United fans want Daniel Farke to drop a surprise player for today\u2019s game against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a huge game for both clubs, with Leeds United<\/a> looking to bounce back from the disappointment of their last away fixture last weekend against Fulham.<\/p>\n

Wolves\u2019 Vitor Pereira has a plan for Leeds<\/a> and there are also 61-year records at stake for Wolves vs Leeds<\/a>\u00a0as well. It is Daniel Farke\u2019s first taste of the fixture as Leeds boss and Farke has a poor record vs Wolves<\/a>\u00a0during his managerial career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some, like Chris\u00a0Sutton, are predicting defeat for Leeds at Molineux<\/a>.\u00a0Sky Sports pundit\u00a0Paul Merson thinks Wolves beat Leeds<\/a>, too. Leeds will hope that they can pile on the misery for a Wolves team with four defeats in a row already.<\/p>\n

Injuries dictate that\u00a0Jack Harrison or Brenden Aaronson will start vs Wolves<\/a> today, with creating chances very much an issue that Leeds fans are concerned about both short and long-term.<\/p>\n

Farke has worked on Leeds\u2019 finishing ahead of Wolves<\/a> but their chief creator of chances has been Anton Stach so far. In part, that is due to the fact\u00a0Stach is the current Leeds set-piece taker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A combative midfielder,\u00a0Stach is up with Bruno Fernandes for chances created<\/a> in the Premier League so far. In fact, Stach has bettered Emi Buendia<\/a> under Farke for a number of impressive categories.<\/p>\n

Stach has teased Wolves ahead of Leeds\u2019 visit<\/a> but many fans are not particularly impressed with his recent games in a white shirt. One said: \u201cI think he\u2019s trying to do too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cHe\u2019s a premier league level midfielder yes. Ampadu and Tanaka are better though really shows how good our recruitment was last season under an experienced head of recruitment. But he is decent down to him and Longstaff to fight it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

What shots did he have? And which chances did he create? \ud83e\udee3<\/p>\n

A further response read: \u201cI dont know really what to think, against Everton he was class, but it js seems like he\u2019s still adjusting to how different the premier league is to the Bundesliga, still i reckon if we had proven attackers he would look miles better\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

His stats seem good because he’s taking corners and free kicks and they’re classing these as chance creation. He’s been underwhelming at best<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting as many fans felt as though Stach was stong for Leeds for much of August<\/a>\u00a0despite some disappointing results. His performances were largely solid, even if Fulham was somewhat sub-par last time out.<\/p>\n

\"AntonPhoto by Charles McQuillan\/Getty ImagesAnton Stach is one of the Premier League\u2019s most progressive midfielders statistically<\/p>\n

Statistically, Stach is in impressive company for Leeds<\/a>. Prior to that, Stach was labelled Leeds\u2019 best signing<\/a>\u00a0of the summer on paper. He brings so much to Leeds both in and out of possession as well.<\/p>\n

Per Wasi (@Wanalyst007) on Twitter\/X, Stach is one of the Premier League\u2019s best midfielders for SCA (shot creating actions) and his ball progression per touch, alongside Fernandes and Everton\u2019s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.<\/p>\n

Stach was Leeds\u2019 most expensive signing at \u00a319.9 million<\/a>\u00a0if all add-ons are met, but his numbers point to a player who could be a bargain by the time his Leeds career really gets going.<\/p>\n
