All of Leicester City's players have been superb this season. Several have been even better than that.

 

But one of the most remarkable features of our title win is that much of the squad here now were at the club the season before. The players who are now champions of England were, mostly, the same players who sprinted away from the relegation places in the last quarter of the 14/15 season.

 

With that in mind who do you think is our 'Most Improved Player'? Which individual do you think improved his performance on the previous season the most?

Really hard to say. Simpson was pretty awful last year and he's been excellent. Morgan wasn't great last year but he's been one of the best centre halves in the world this year. Vardy and Mahrez showed glimpses last season but have torn the league apart this time around and won a load of awards. Drinky couldn't cement his place in the team and now he's playing for England.

 

Wes for me anyway

The whole team have come on another level this season. Probably due to Ranieri's management qualities and the coaching staff, as well as having a season's experience of playing in the Premier League. If I had to choose, I'd pick Morgan.

Probably Drinkwater.

 

Schmeichel has slight improved but his distribution can still be awful at times.

 

Morgan and Huth never needed improving as they have been very consistent, albeit a couple of games they've been slow at times.

Simpson by far.

 

Must also throw an outlandish statement in here, but does anybody else thing that Drinky still hasn't quite matched the form he was in in the Championship and could STILL find another gear or two?! Hero.

What a hard choice that is.

Schmeichel - Now one of the best GK's in the league

Drinkwater - ditto

Morgan - ditto

Vardy - ditto

Mahrez - possibly world class?

Simpson - huge improvement

You think DD, Vards and Morgan are the best keepers in the league??? Wow. Who knew?

Over this season? Simpson - Never really an awful defender but I saw RDL ahead of him, which says a lot.

 

Since we signed him? Vardy - Honestly thought he was abysmal for ages. I remember the Monaco friendly and he looked like he'd really knuckled down and looked like he'd have a good season.

It's a tough one between Morgan and Simpson for me. But I'll go with Morgan. A lot of people moaned about him last season saying he's too unfit, not good enough for the PL. But he's really stepped up this season, been absolutely fantastic.

I see where you're coming from. I think ever since his England call-up, Drinky has been a bit sloppy in possession at times. However, his defensive capabilities and ability to spot a pass are fantastic. I think he could become a truly outstanding midfield player, he's a damn good one already.

At first I thought Morgan but the more I thought about it the harder it was to differentiate between others like Simpson and Drinkwater in particular.

 

In fact I've never felt less like singling anyone out as doing a better job than anyone else in our achievements.  

 

It really was a team effort with every main-choice player in every position facing all sorts of challenges and pressures yet battling through like a hero. Even the substitutes stepped up when it mattered. 

 

Three defeats all season can't happen if you've significant weak links. 

 

And our marvellous counter-attacking would have counted for little if the defence had leaked like a sieve or if one or two players like Albrighton or Shinji had disappeared into hiding when the going got tough.

 

Everyone had specific jobs to do on top of their specialisations and, to a man, they turned up for every test, even on the rare days we lost.
