Player of the First Half of the Season

[StriderHiryu]

I went for Shinji. He hasn't started every game, but he's made a huge difference in any game he's been involved in. He's also scored a lot more goals and is in my opinion the most improved player in the squad.

 

Maguire would have been my next choice as he's played virtually every game and has made a big impact in a short space of time. Mahrez also deserves a shout, though with him it's more that he has recaptured his form and really he should play like ha has been more consistently.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Voted Maguire as he has far exceeded expectations and been a game changer for us. Definitely special mentions to Iborra (fantastic signing), Okazaki (has upped his game and seems even fitter now), Mahrez, refinding most of his great form and Simpson who never lets us down

I could have voted for about 6 players, I went with Morgan because he surprised me the most,

[egg_fried_rice]

A tough call, Shinji closely followed by Mahrez for me. But can't argue with the choices others have made either.

[Foxxed]

Can't decide between Ndidi, Shinji and Maguire. Mahrez and Vardy have massively contributed to our position and points too. And Vardy's new role has undoubtedly massively helped Mahrez and Gray. Ndidi's age and improvement are impressive. And without Iborra I doubt we'd be where we are.

Difficult choice, this.

 

I can't really put my finger on one specific player up to this point, our success has been more of a team effort.

Mahrez sticks out because of his goals and assists, Vardy does well up front, too. Add to that Okazaki's contribution, Albrighton being solid and Maguire having a very good first season with us.

 

Due to the novelty factor, I'd probably go with Maguire, closely followed by Mahrez, Vardy, then Okazaki and Albrighton.

i mean, i backed my choice with stats and facts. 

[fuchsntf]

Puel....Rekindled and found new motivation, got every single player upping their games,

dared to give the young-guns their reigns/and slap leather holsters.

2nd..Appleton..got on with the job in hand, great supporting role when we needed it..

 

The players had their chance to shine, alone and lay claim, but needed someone outside to reawake

Their expected duties, to an acceptable level.They couldnt lift themselves despite that friend..

imo, he is a top 5 player in the club best player. and apart from him having amazing tackling stats, he is a corner stone to this team and our only DM (plus, i think he improved this season).
 

people just don't rate wes because he hoofs it even though he was amazing as of late, and iborra was inconsistent so i get why

Tough one. Iborra, Maguire Mahrez to an extent all deserve it.

 

- Iborra made DD hardly missed and is bossing the midfield. 

- Maguire is growing into one of the finest PL defenders. His vision and ability on the ball is rare for a defender. Signing of the season so far and it will be hard to keep him next summer. The (sometimes costly) mistakes will be ironed out with time and more experience.

- Mahrez is back to his best. There already were signs of a form regain under Shakey but Puel is doing a fantastic job with him. Aside from his howler against WHU, his magic is working again and he's a pleasure to watch.

 

Big shout to Shinji and Vardy. Honorable mention to Morgan and Simpson.

 

Edit: Went for Mahrez.

No stand out players because a few could win this but I'm gonna have to toss a coin and go for,............Shinji 

[Finnegan]

Maguire an honourable mention but it's Shinji for me.

As much as I want to vote for Maguire, Mahrez or Vardy, I have to go for Iborra. Him in midfield has absolutely transformed our play style for the better, and he's absolutely class. We're not anywhere near as good without him.

Touché, he gets my vote  

[sdb]

Ndidi, Maguire, Mahrez, Morgan, Simpson, Okazaki for me. In that order. 

[UPinCarolina]

Quarter 1 = Shinji

Quarter 2 = Mahrez

 

Half 1 = Ndidi

We’ve had a good second half to the first half of the season! Shinji’s been the Man for me though, he’s been consistent throughout. 

[Royston.]

Maguire because he is a breath of fresh air from Morgan and huth who although have been great defenders for us, never wanted to keep the ball.

 

[AlloverthefloorYesNdidi]

Morgan, because he's been very good, and even though people say he cant play he absolutely skinned Lukaku the other day. Mans got sick feet

[M0901]

Morgan every day.

[Viva]

Mahrez by quite a distance really. He is a level above where we currently are. 

 

I think there are probably four or five in the level below him this season. They include Vardy, Maguire, Okazaki and Morgan.

People will only base it on the last game I’d guess...  we all seem to have relatively short term memories on here!

 

Maguire would be a worthy selection anyway

Whoscored has Maguire as our top ranked player over the season so far, for what it's worth!

I went for Shinji, we still play noticeably better with him behind Vardy, despite Puel's repeated attempts to shove a winger there.

Plus Shinji's scored a shit load this season, same number of non-penalty goals as Vardy I think, and in less than half of Vardy's minutes.

Bit harsh we can't vote for the clubs best player as the OP has not gave us the option.
