Confirmed Transfers

Following a season in which Leeds United barely survived relegation, this summer has brought on a tidal wave of incoming players in Yorkshire. While the big money departures of Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips have made headlines, they have also brought in the revenue responsible for a completely revamped squad ahead of the 2022-23 Premier League season. Here is a look at the new potential Leeds starting XI 2022, featuring all of Jesse Marsch’s new signings and one more potential newcomer. 

Juventus and FC Barcelona squared off in Dallas on Wednesday night for another preseason friendly. The teams displayed their attacking prowess for 90 minutes with the spoils ultimately shared finishing 2-2, but Weston McKennie, a Dallas-area native, was strangely kept on the bench.

Are they just not gonna play McKennie in Texas?

Barcelona is scary again. Former player now manager Xavi corrected course for the Catalan club last season and now has the roster to go for titles. The potential Barcelona starting XI 2022-23 lineup is not only filthy, but has incredible depth.

The Bayern Munich starting XI 2022-23 lineup is going to be an incredibly difficult decision for manager Julian Nagelsmann. The departure of Robert Lewandowski has left a hole the size of Bavaria in Bayern’s attack. Without a solid replacement at center forward, what will Nagelsmann do?

Nagelsmann loves himself a 4-2-3-1 formation and it’s hard to see him stepping away from it. For this example, that formation will be used. Here’s an idea of how the defending Bundesliga champions could lineup.

Arsenal’s quest for the top four has been a torturous battle for Gunners fans over the past few seasons. Last season was extra painful — and we’ll all get to see the extra juicy details in Amazon’s All or Nothing series — as the team saw top four slip from its grasp in the final weeks. Will this potential Arsenal starting XI 2022-23 lineup right the wrongs of last season?

Manager Mikel Arteta has some new faces in the Arsenal camp after a few big transfers. How much of an impact will they make is the real the question?

A new season and still another stacked Manchester City squad. The players may change but the strength of the team maintains the same. The potential Man City starting XI 2022-23 lineup is just as good as last season with some massive additions and potentially more.

Manager Pep Guardiola is known for his tactical genius and can switch up his formation before any given game. Pep does enjoy implementing a 4-3-3, which is what we’ll go with for this example. Let’s look.

FC Barcelona’s money issues are no secret. The Spanish giant famously had to let Lionel Messi leave for PSG after a violation of LaLiga’s financial fair play rules. In March 2021, the club was technically bankrupt. Prior to the 2021-22 season, La Blaugrana were not able to register the salaries of Memphis Depay and Eric García until several players accepted wage deferments. All the while, Barcelona debt reached a reported $1.32 billion. 

Seven seasons after joining the club, Paulo Dybala has completed his move away from Juventus. He will be playing for AS Roma following months of speculation and near guarantees that he would be moving to Inter Milan. But what happened? How did this beautiful marriage fall apart and crumble so quickly and so catastrophically?
