Leeds' season culminated in a return to the Premier League as Championship winners, beating close promotion rivals Burnley to the title thanks to superior goal difference.
The Whites were one of the Championship's most exciting teams in recent history, scoring 95 times and finishing with a goal difference of +65.
Due to the staggering defensive record presided over by Scott Parker's Burnley, Leeds' own efforts at the back have been somewhat overlooked.
The Clarets conceded only 16 times across their 46 league games en route to automatic promotion as runners-up, a second tier record by some distance. However, Leeds only allowed 30 goals themselves, averaging an impressive 0.65 concessions per game over the course of the campaign.
While the Whites may not have kept as many clean sheets as Burnley, conceding almost twice as many goals, their defensive efforts were enough to see them rank them among the best second tier outfits since the league became a 46-game division in 1988/89.
Here is how Daniel Farke's team compare to the rest:
