EA FC 25 Jamie Vardy Grassroot Greats item has been leaked on social media
Jamie Vardy is one of the most experienced strikers in the Premier League with 329 appearances. He bagged 143 goals and provided 48 assists so far. However, the journey of being a Leicester legend wasn't smooth for the captain.
As discussed, Vardy signed for Leicester in 2012 as a non-league transfer. Soon enough, he helped his club be promoted to the PL (Premier League) by winning the Championship trophy two years later. Later in 2015/16, he played a massive role by scoring 24 goals in the domestic league, eventually leading the Foxes to win their first PL trophy. Considering his achievements, he found his righteous spot in the Grassroot Greats promo.

However, Vardy's rumored Grassroot Great item's 87 dribbling and 83 passing might certainly be a major turn-off for gamers considering there are better striker options in the current EA FC 25 transfer market.
To be precise, based on the rumored attributes from FutSheriff, Vardy's Grassroots card has the potential to be a great backup striker in a team full of Premier League players.
