Crazy Stat Time!

[Corky]

Not Leicester related but Jan Bednarek has scored three goals for Southampton. In each match they lost 3-2 having been 2-0 up.

From the Beeb:

 

That was James Maddison's first Premier League assist in 2020. That was his 46th chance created.

[urban.spaceman]

Also:

 

Since Brendan Rodgers' first Premier League match in charge of Leicester, Jamie Vardy has scored 41 top-flight goals, nine more than any other player.

[urban.spaceman]

And:

 

Jamie Vardy has scored 11 goals in his last 10 Premier League games against teams starting the day in the relegation zone.

It's the first time since 1884 that we've scored a last minute winner through Jamie Vardy away at Sheffield United.

We've yet the draw in the league this season, only Villa can match this record

By the way...the PL record is 30 games without a draw (Spurs). Record in any league is held by Villa (51)

[Phube]

I believe that was our 6th straight win vs Sheff Utd. 
 

Not a bad record.

In good company.

 

In fact, truly highlighting just how impressive Vardy's potency is when bearing in mind his age, he's one of just four players aged 30 or over to have scored over six goals in any of Europe's top five leagues this season. 

And the other names within that elite club show how difficult a challenge that is. Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski and Zlatan Ibrahmovic are genuine world-class entities and among the greatest goalscorers of this millennium, yet Vardy is holding his own against them.

14th is definitely achievable, getting up to 10th will depends on if he can keep this standard going and defy father time.

[Stevosevic]

If he gets 20 goals this season (very likely) and another 20 goal season next year he'll have a great chance of getting 150.

Just read this and got no way of verifying it so apologies if not true.

Since the start of the 15/16 Jamie Vardy’s xG (expected goals) is 94 in that time he has actually scored 107.

That is phenomenal, would be amazing if anyone could confirm.

He’s got to be eying up the top 10. 38 goals in the next 2 or 3 seasons would be a fantastic return but not unrealistic..

I doubt he is eyeing up any targets, just trying to score as many as possible. We all know at his age he is one bad injury away from retirement. Let's just enjoy the phenomenon while he's here. He's already a legend even if he never scored again.

Vardy's goals in total number of games played is very good. Slightly worse than Ian Wright. But if you consider the amount of games he has scored his last 111 league goals in, his goals per game ratio is nearly adds good as van nistlerooy!

There is no need to massage his figures, they are phenomenal. Only 6 players have scored 100+ PL goals at a better rate than Vardy. Wright, Kane, Aguero, Henry, Shearer, Van Persie. You don't need to caveat his first season even with that poor start to life in the PL he is statistically the seventh best striker in PL history. He could very well finish his career top 5 but even top 10 of all time (PL) is pretty fvcking special.

It's not really massaging, just acknowledgement that he played most of his first season in the top flight not as an out and out striker. All other comparable strikers came into the league as main striker and usually from another top division club.

 

Basically, his stats are incredible.

You could argue Henry started out as a winger, Wright scored a lot of goals pre premier league, Rooney moved back into a midfield role, Kane started out as a teenager finding his feet 3 goals in 15 matches before his break out season which started slowly. It's noteworthy Vardy's first season but not in comparison to other strikers every one had their challenges to face and all great strikers overcome them.

I know he scored his first in September in the 5-3 Man U game, and then his second in the March 3-4 Spus game - does anyone know how many games he's scored his 111 goals in?
