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.
Finds bench
James (groin) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Bournemouth.
ANALYSIS
James had returned to the team sheet Wednesday after he was involved in training this week, with the attacker fit enough to earn a bench role. This ends his three-match slide due to the groin injury, a boost to depth for the team. With a minimal four starts in 15 appearances this season, he is likely to remain in a bench role.

Not in training Thursday
James (groin) hasn't participated in training this week and might not be available for Saturday's game against Wolverhampton, according to manager Daniel Farke. "For the other players that are injured, with Joe Rodon, Daniel James and Anton Stach, the first step is more or less that they would be back in team training and then if they have a bit of team training then they're also available for the games. As it stands, so today [Thursday], no one is back in team training yet, but we have two more days."

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.
