Who is our most Important player?

[MPH]

We all know who our most skillful player is.. but is he the one who is the most important to our team? Would we be where we are without kaspers saves? Ndidi's ball-winning? Maguire's blocks/tackles? Vardy's pressure and goals?

 

 

 

I'm just interested who people think is the most important to us? Our title-winning captin!?

Playing devil's advocate. here.... But what happens to Vardy when he gets no service? 

[sylofox]

don't see why you named Wes tbh.

I wouldn’t summarise Vardy is all about what service you give him unlike some strikers. His work rate & closing down high up the field gives capacity to those behind him, so if he’s not getting the service he is still our most important player in my view.

[Wes]

He works his balls off to create an opportunity like against Man City away

 

Forces defenders into mistakes

[Tuna]

Vardy sets the tempo for the entire team, he gets my vote.

[Blue ROI]

Vardy for the threat to opposition defences. N'Didi for his workrate in midfield.

 

Our standout players for me this season by far. Both equally important.

Mahrez is our most talented. And he creates the most chances to win games. But Matty James and Wes could well be fantastic for the team as a whole. And Shinij's crazy work rate on the field demands a mention. There was that sports scientist who said he'd root "terrorists" out of the team, meaning players who were bad for the team dynamic. Our most important player is probably the opposite to those kinds of players, both on and off the pitch.

Vardy by some distance, we don't look like scoring against decent opposition when he isn't on the pitch. He's synonymous with our brand of football.

 

Replacing him and Mahrez are impossible jobs.

[TheUltimateWinner]

I put Wellens, but in reality it is most definitely Vardy.

 

He sets the temp for the whole team and epitomizes how we play.

[Lovejoy]

Mahrez. I don't like saying it, but he is. Huge void to fill in the summer, he's so much of our creativity.

Again,  just playing devil's advocate, here.... Have we actually struggled to score without Vardy being in the side?

No I understand what you mean, take the Huddersfield game, we changed our style of play and Slimani ran riot.

 

But I've always considered us as a hardworking team though and do think Vardy symbolizes that perfectly. 

 

I do think seeing how badly we missed Mahrez recently though he is also very important in terms of creativity, maybe more so than Vardy... I'm doubting myself now, can I change my answer?

Haha, im just provoking discussion!

[jumbo747]

It's Vardy for me at the moment, but I think if Harry Maguire can hold on to his stated intention to remain with City (and I don't think it will be that easy with some of the offers he will get), I think he is going to be so influential and massive for the team.

[David Guiza]

Mahrez for me, but that's not to say that Vardy isn't indispensable too. The pair of them are probably what separate us form a relegation fight.

 

Mahrez certainly has more off days than Vardy and a fraction of the work rate, but he does things that nobody else outside of the top 6/4 can do. 

[rachhere]

I am actually saying Kasper for this one. Yes, he's been a bit poor of late, but look at how that has been reflected in our results. When Wes retires he will take over properly as captain and for me he is very much the backbone of the team. 

[winteriscoming]

Obviously it's vardy we have nothing up front if he's not playing. Without him this season we would be in a relegation battle. 

[trabuch]

I do believe it's Vardy. In spirit as much as anything else. He IS Leicester City.

[Izzy]

It's a team game. We win as a team and we lose as a team. Nobody is more important than anyone else....

 

(apart from Mahrez who's a smacked arse little genius, game changer and match winner )

[lgfualol]

Mahrez. The other wingers don't come close to him, at all. 

 

Vardy obviously is important but now we are more possession based it wouldn't be as impossible as before to replace him. 

[Wymsey]

Ndidi.

Without him, considering his successful tackling statistics etc, the club probably wouldn't be as high as theyrr in the table now.

[Guest]

Kasper Schmeichel an embarrassing inclusion. He's cost us so many points this season.

 

Vardy for me. Without his tireless effort and goals we would be nowhere. Even last season despite criticism I dont think his levels dropped.. just the quality of service he received did. He's pretty close to becoming a club legend.. he probably is alreayd isn't he actually?

[ZeGuy]

Last season Mahrez was half of the player he is atm. Not because he downed the tools (lol) but because of our negative set-up and a terrible midfield. Vardy had a long, dire period for the same reasons and, as a spearhead, can't do much if he doesn't get the ball.

 

I consider both of them to be our key players, however a strong midfield is the key to get the most of them.
