Which players will step up to the PL?

Two questions, who will step up well and thrive in the Premier League? Who will struggle to get up to speed and find themselves on the periphery?

I reckon Luke Ayling will step up well. He's so comfortable on the ball now, and end product has improved massively the last two seasons. I reckon he'll be a steady 7/10 every week (unless we're playing City or Liverpool).

On the other hand, I can see Alioski struggling. Lack of pace or strength, can't see him doing much if played on the wing and he's not our best option at leftback anymore.

Bamford.
Bags 15+ next season

Absolutely no chance this happens. Only got 16 this season, playing more games against rubbish opposition.

Be amazed if he gets 10.

If we assume that Leeds will be in the Premiership in 2 seasons from now I think the team will be much different to the team now.
Some players will have reached their ceiling of improvement under Bielsa, some due to age will not be able cut it anymore at the highest level...only the younger players that can improve will still be here.

We don't know if Bielsa will still be here in 2 seasons time, maybe he has only one more season here?
The coach and players I suspect will be very different in 2 seasons time.

It seems most of this team will stay, Bielsa has mixed a few youngsters in the last 2 games, so he must have confidence in what he sees!..

There might be a couple coming in this coming season, but I'd be surprised if Bielsa splits this team up much!..

Leeds fan took the words from my mouth. The Prem is a step up in All aspects so coaches too will be better and we will see tactics stifle us.

Arsenal second half was very telling, and showed how it could very well be, if we don't buy well.

There was a write up a while back, it said that the only team that press better than Leeds is ManC!..

It said this team would cause problems for most in the Premier league!..

Hopefully we find out to the good whether or not that is true!..

Got a feeling Costa will be better next season. Harrison has improved this season

Here are the ones who I think will struggle in the Premier League:
Costa - poor decision making at crucial times
Bamford - not clinical in front of goal
Dallas - good at Championship level
Alioski - will be found out by counter-attacks
Douglas - wasn't good enough for Wolves
Forshaw - will he stay fit enough for long enough?
Pablo - won't get the time and space to play his game
Everyone else, I think, will do well, with Struijk , Meslier , Poveda and Shacks to pleasantly surprise us. Most importantly, Bielsa has had two years of English football. He will be ready.
