Top 3 Leicester City players overall in October

Welcome to an opinion piece nominating the three best Leicester City performers of October. Only Premier League leaders Liverpool defeated the Foxes in that month.

Winning five in six matches at the level Leicester City ploy trade is no simple or easy feat. Yes, there are a couple of carabao Cup clashes in the succession, yet the Foxes are motoring into an exceptionally good run of form.

Amongst the scalps were, of course, Tottenham Hotspur – a rival for top-four Premier League placing. Spurs are, like Arsenal and Manchester United, in a peculiar position at present. Turmoil is possibly a reach in contemporary assessment of those clubs. However their transitional periods mean Leicester can capitalise and claim a top-six finish or even higher.

Brendan Rodgers’ squad is filled to the brim with assertichoices at the moment. But which players were Foxes of Leicester’s choices for the three best performers this month?

3. Caglar Soyuncu – Leicester City

Filling England star defender Harry Maguire’s boots is something not many people on earth could do – Turk Caglar Soyuncu managed to do this with aplomb. In fact, FoL believe that so far this season the 23-year-old has actually eclipsed the efficiency shown in Maguire’s 2018/19 displays for Leicester.

Soyuncu is a terrifying opponent; though he is nuanced: a delicate touch and nimble mind enables world-class advancement and a plethora of passes to team-mates. He has not been dispossessed of the ball once this campaign despite his dribbling out with comfort.

Other statistics Leicester’s Player of the Season elect dominates are of course: tackling, blocking, intercepting and an imposing aerial presence.
