QPR will be tough. Doing well. Leeds overrated and beatable.
Can you be overrated when you’re top of the league?
Yes. Leeds may be top now, but with only 8 games gone that doesn't mean they are the best team in the league. I for one don't think they will go up this season.

Of course a team can be overrated. Even if they're the best in the world.

Yes. Over-ratedness is a personal thing. Like saying someone like Justin Bieber is over-rated, the stats on his sales would disagree with you.
Wouldn't you say that Bieber's high record sales is a symptom of him being over-rated though?
Don't get me wrong, I deffo think he is over-rated...very very much so... There's a load of kids bought into the hype around him who'd probably take some time off school and protest outside (as long as it's sunny) to tell me I'm wrong though.
Bieber is just an example, but high sales of any product does not mean that the product is any good.
In Leeds' case, they are currently 4/11 to get promoted. This tells me that punters have in total put a lot of money on them to go up, ergo they are very highly rated. Personally I think they won't go up, so believe in general they are over-rated by the bookies and punters alike.

Leeds are overrated by the media but are still a good team and they will be in the mix at the end, IMO.

True. Interesting Bielsa saying in the opening 15 yesterday, Leeds were the best he has seen since being there, but in the last 15 they were poor. Surely this indicates their high tempo tactics aren't sustainable? Likewise the way they imploded last season.
FWIW, I can see them being thereabouts come May but their failure at the death must be at the back of their mind constantly.

Leeds lack goals - that'll be their downfall. For all their intense football and pressing, they struggle to score at home.
Away they're a lot better, but unless they can fix their goal scoring at home they won't finish top 2.
Any side that finishes above them will certainly be in the top 2-3 spots, but you can see why they chased Gayle all summer too.
