Third Best: Harvey Barnes

Harvey Barnes was East Midland’s best winger this season. In 48 appearances; ten off the bench, the 23 year old assisted 13 goals while scoring 11 of his own. While still growing at a young age, Barnes provides us with the most creative and attacking ability out wide. He and James Justin have the potential to be a great duo on the left side of the pitch. If they can both stay consistently healthy, Leicester will be in a great position with Barnes getting better and better with each appearance.

Second Worst: Boubakary Soumaré

Boubakary Soumaré was signed this summer on a transfer fee of £17 million from LOSC Lille. Just one season later and the defensive midfielder is up on the transfer market. The Frenchman was hindered by some injury issues this season. But even when he was healthy, he was often on the pitch. In his 30 appearances for the Foxes this season, he contributed just one assist and not much defensive help. With other midfielders stepping up or coming in, Brendan Rodgers does not seem to have Soumaré in his plans.
