<h2><strong>Essential Leicester FPL Stats | Attacking Numbers</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Leicester</strong> were awarded the <strong>joint most penalty kicks last season</strong> (10). <strong>Jamie Vardy (£10.5m)</strong> scored eight of these but those eight were only against four teams.</p>
<p>Leicester only created 11 counter-attacks last season, but they also registered the 3<sup>rd</sup> most through balls (35).</p>
<p>75.3% of Leicester’s chances came from the centre and the right.</p>
<p>Like most teams during pre-season, they are evolving. <strong>James Maddison’s (£7.0m)</strong> rumoured departure would be a strange one unless they plan on bringing in a technical player to improve on the Foxes’ <strong>4<sup>th</sup> most unsuccessful passes</strong> (3502).</p>
<p>A new signing would be essential for Leicester to maintain their style of play. They need a creative player who can distribute in the middle of the field. This is typified by the <strong>joint lowest cross completion</strong> with <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-fantasy-football-manchester-city-best-player-picks/"><strong>Manchester City</strong></a> (18.5%).</p>
<p>They also registered a<strong> league-low headed shots</strong> (56).</p>
<p><strong>Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.5m)</strong> led Leicester’s <strong>expected goals (xG)</strong> over-performance. He had an xG Delta of 3.8 in his limited minutes last season and an <strong>FPL goal involvement of 47%</strong>. Leicester had the 2<sup>nd</sup> highest xG Delta last season (11.86). 2.12 of that over-performance was due to adding xG on target.</p>
<p>With all the rumours and potentially moving parts, Leicester are a team to keep an eye on.</p>
<p>The signing of <strong>Patson Daka (£7.5m)</strong> could be transformational for Leicester. While he is coming from a much inferior Austrian league, he remains a statistical monster. Playing 4,836 minutes, his <strong>per 90 <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a></strong> are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Goals: 1.00</li>
<li>Assists: 0.20</li>
<li>Shots: 3.96</li>
<li>% on target: 49.3%</li>
<li>Goals/shot: 0.25</li>
<li>Goals scored minus goals allowed while player was on the pitch: +100 (+1.86/90)</li>
<li>Cards: 6 yellow, 0 Red</li>
<li>Age: 22</li>
</ul>
<p>He has the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> of a dominant and mature player. It may be difficult for <strong>Brendan Rodgers</strong> to keep Daka on the bench.</p>

<h2><strong>Essential Leicester FPL Stats | Defensive Numbers</strong></h2>
<p>Similarly to <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/essential-arsenal-fpl-stats/"><strong>Arsenal</strong></a> and <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/essential-west-ham-fpl-stats/"><strong>West Ham</strong></a>, I don’t have many observations of Leicester from a defensive perspective. They <em>do</em> concede many more crosses from their left side (358) than their right (289). The young <strong>Luke Thomas (£4.5m)</strong> often struggled to protect that side.</p>
<p>Despite having the <strong>4<sup>th</sup> fewest blocks</strong> (90), they still managed to take away 3.75 xG from opposition attacks when those shots were on target.</p>
<p>This was in large part thanks to <strong>Wilfred Ndidi (£5.0m)</strong> and <strong>Youri Tielemans (£6.5m)</strong> in midfield and the way they cover space and plug lanes.</p>
