First 11 for me.

Deserves a crack for his performances this season.

Bench/rotation for me. Not sure he has the technical ability for the PL, but his pace would be good on the counter attack and off the bench.

Agree with BB, not an area of immediate concern, Dan should start

Bench and rotation for me depending on opponent.

I've gone bench as well.

He's done well in Championship but can't ignore his previous Premier League struggles.

I also don't think he entirely fits DF's narrow system and that would be more noticeable in the Premier League

Starter but only just - 60% over 40% bench.

I find this the most difficult one, given the season he's had. However, went 'Bench' as he hasn't exactly shone in PL previously and I don't see the ability in him (which I do think is within Willy) to raise his game another level.

Comfortably a starter. Has shown in glimpses what he can do in the prem and has had two years to learn his craft. His end product is still abit hit and miss but has improved. Work rate is fantastic too. Great pace could be very useful for hitting teams on the break too.
I love leeds united, may I never admit to it. :shhh:

Starter, based on the last two seasons and that he's matured enough now to play well in the PL. Our game style may need to be more counter attack next season and that will rely on Dan's electric pace. If he's not doing the business, he can change out with Gnonto who would become starter.
