England International, Jamie Vardy, was the biggest contributor for Leicester this season with 24 goals and 6 assists. During the season, he broke the record for scoring in the most consecutive matches. He was named the Premier League Player of the Season as well.

While Vardy scored a lot of goals, he shared the limelight with Riyad Mahrez throughout the season. The Algerian won the PFA Player of the Year after he contributed 17 goals and 11 assists. The most impressive thing about Mahrez was that he stepped up his game in big and crucial fixtures and scored in many such fixtures as well.

The third member of the trio, Shinji Okazaki, didn’t make a huge contribution in terms of goals or assists as he only had 5 goals at the end of the season. However, the Japanese international’s pressing and work rate were vital for Leicester to help make space and time on the ball for the likes of Vardy and Mahrez.

Jamie Vardy – 24 goals & 6 assists

Riyad Mahrez – 17 goals & 11 assists

Shinji Okazaki – 5 goals & 0 assists

Total goal involvement – 63
