Leeds are set for a big season next year: never before have they had such expectations to get promoted.

As soon as Leeds got torn apart by Derby in the thrilling second leg of the play-off semi final at Elland Road, they would have been considering how they can have another crack next season.

Bielsa signing on for another year took many by surprise; few people had expected him to last beyond this season and Leeds fans are delighted that he will be starting the season.

How much Leeds can invest is probably dependent on whether they get new investors at the club. Current owner, Andrea Radrizzani, is reportedly in talks with Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the Qatari Sports Investment group - those who own PSG - with potential for them to buy shares in the club, New York Times report.

However, in April Leeds announced losses of around £4million in 2017/18, reports the Yorkshire Evening Post and there are even bigger expected losses for this financial year with an increased wage budget.

So this might mean that Leeds may have to look within before buying players.

However, there are a few players at Leeds who had part-time roles last season who are more than capable of stepping up to the plate and being relied upon as a regular.

Jack Clarke

If Leeds can hang onto Jack Clarke, then he will need to have more game time next year.

Tottenham Hotspur are apparently after his signature, but Football Insider claim that the price tag of £20million is currently putting them off.

At just 18, Jack Clarke was a useful weapon for Bielsa, where he started four games and came on for 20. He scored two goals and gave two assists while playing 814 minutes, according to stats from WhoScored.

Bielsa liked using Clarke for his sharp feet and blistering pace. He was often used at half-time from Bielsa if Leeds found themselves chasing the game.

If the Yorkshire boy stays next year, he will be hoping for a few more than just four starts.

Clarke has been unfortunate in that Pablo Hernandez tends to play in right midfield, so he has struggled for game time. Though with Hernandez being 34, Clarke may be given more responsibility and a larger role in Bielsa's starting line up.

Stuart Dallas

Fresh in peoples memories is Stuart Dallas, who nearly scored a hat-trick from left-back in the play-off semi loss.

Similarly to Clarke, Dallas has found getting into the starting 11 a difficult challenge this season. Summer signing Barry Douglas has kept him out the team for much of the year, but Dallas' versatility allows him to break into the team in a host of positions.

He can play up and down the flanks on either side of the pitch. This season he started 12 games and was subbed on for 16, but will be hoping for a more integral part next season at a prime age at 28.

The Northern Irish player showed enough in the semi-final to suggest that he deserves a bigger role in Leeds' set up this year.
