82nd percentile for shot-creating actions, 86th for progressive passing, 78th for dribbles completed, and an xA in the 77th percentile.

These three have already been mentioned. Barnes, Daka, and ‘Madders’. There is only one point of contention: arguably, Vardy has been more impactful than Daka. However, Vardy has been less clinical in prior weeks, so might have lost some faith from the manager.

Nevertheless, the King Power club should continue to use Daka, as the youthfulness offers a developmental capacity and integrating the Zambian forward as one of the integral players is a futureproofing point. Furthermore, although the striker has misses a few big chances, he has collected a couple of assists on top of three goals.
