2. Pontus Jansson
While Wood is at one end of the pitch banging in the goals, this no nonsense Swede ensures that the other end is firmly tight and hard for opposition attackers to breach.
Since arriving from Torino last summer on a season-long loan, Jansson has established himself as the backbone of Leeds defence and as arguably the best centre-half in the Championship.
His 86% pass success rate underlines his ball-playing abilities and importance in helping to build the play from the back. The Sweden international has not only been a solid rock at the back, he has also weighed in 3 league goals, more than the likes of Sacko and Dallas. This highlights his all-round importance to the team.
