League performance by season

The whole English league ladder, top division at the top. The line rises and falls between the divisions with each promotion and relegation. Full detail is in the season history.

Record players

All-time appearances and goals for the club's most-used players, from the published Leeds all-time players list. Tap any column heading to reorder the table by that measure. Season totals elsewhere on the site count a different mix of competitions, so figures will not always line up exactly. See who is approaching a milestone.

Spend, receipts and net by season

Figures in £m, counting only deals with a published fee. Undisclosed deals are left out rather than treated as £0, so seasons with unpublished fees read lower than they were — the table below shows how many deals are missing a fee in each season.
