Daniel James
28-Year-Old
Leeds United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
James is set to return to the Premier League with Leeds United after he scored 12 times and added nine assists last season in the Championship. It's encouraging production in the second tier, but James has previously shown an inability to produce near the same output in the Premier League. The winger has improved during his time with Leeds United and will get plenty of chances in the starting XI, but a loss of set pieces last season won't help in production. He might be most likely to hit 10 goal contributions for Leeds, but anything more than that would be surprising.
Seven crosses in seven minutes
James registered seven crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Brentford.
ANALYSIS
James came off the bench with seven minutes to go and attempted seven crosses as Leeds chased for a winner. He was unsuccessful with all of these crosses but showed lots of attacking intent with his cameo appearance. He has only attempted more than seven crosses on one occasion.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spurs could sign him
Tottenham are looking to sign James on loan for the entire 2022-23 season, according to soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
ANALYSIS
Several top sides have kept close tabs on the Wales international this summer, and all signs point toward James leaving Elland Road to play for a Champions League contender. The Spurs have been the most active side on his pursuit and should be treated as front-runners to land his services.
