Jamie Vardy
Ranking: 47
What the staff has to say:
"A year removed from Leicester’s very silly Premier League triumph, Jamie Vardy is not quite the in-demand finisher he was. But he did score 13 goals last season for a team that was, for long stretches of the year, awful. He came to life after Claudio Ranieri was sacked — eight of his goals, and three of his six assists, came in 13 games under Craig Shakespeare — and should be good for 15-20 goals if the Foxes show some more consistent effort this season. But he turns 32 in January, and it’s hard to imagine he’ll ever hit the heights of 2015-16 again."
It was always going to be a no-brainer. Jamie Vardy has been among the Premier League’s top poachers since Leicester City’s promotion, and that, along with his goalscoring exploits in 2015/16, is enough for the 30-year old to just make it to the top 50.
