Leeds United's 2025/26 season ratings have been released, and they reveal a three-way tie for first place. The ratings are a subjective measure of a player's performance, but they can give us an insight into who stood out for the team this season. The top three players in the ratings are all loan signings, who bedded in quickly in a new country and in the world's toughest proving ground. This suggests that Leeds' summer 2025 recruitment was absolutely vital to their success on the pitch this season. The ratings also show that a player's performance can vary greatly depending on the opposition and the situation. For example, a player who shines in cameos off the bench does not have the same task as a player who is solid but unspectacular as a starter. A player can pick up an 8 out of 10 against an already-relegated opposition at home while another can be a solid, valuable 7 out of 10 away from home in a hard-fought draw against elite opposition. Contributions are all important, everyone does their bit and plays their part. When the full picture emerges those at the top tend to be the players who were in the running for the end-of-season awards. Perhaps how best to view an average rating is to consider them outside of any squad-wide ranking or comparison and just put the number next to the name. Some of them feel very right. A few might be a tad generous or a tad the other way. In any case, a 6 out of 10 performance across a Premier League season isn't bad - anything close to a 7 is really very impressive. And as luck would have it, the man ranked first - albeit on the merit of a couple of decimal places in what is otherwise a three-way tie for first - is the man who did pick up all the awards.
