Jamie Vardy famously lifted Leicester City to the 2015/16 Premier League titles with his goals. He scored 24 goals that season and narrowly missed out on the Premier League Golden Boot. In the same season, he set a record for scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League games. Vardy had 115 shots, with 53 of them on target.

The next season saw a dip in form, as Leicester City crumbled, mostly due to the exit of Kante and Vardy had only 53 shots, with 26 of them on target, scoring 13 goals in the Premier League. Many critics stated that Vardy was a one season wonder.

However, in the 2017/18 season, the Englishman showed renewed vigour and the Premier League saw a resurgent Jamie Vardy. He attempted 71 shots, with 35 of those on target and scored 20 goals. This season too, Vardy has started well. He has played 2 games, had 2 shots, with 1 of them on target and has scored one goal.

Jamie Vardy has 144 appearances in the Premier League and has registered 289 shots, out of which 139 have been on target. He might have missed 44 big chances in all those games but has already scored 63 goals. However, the most astonishing statistics is the Shooting Accuracy Percentage. At 48%, his shooting accuracy percentage is the highest in this list and that makes him dangerous. One can expect Jamie Vardy to have a party this season as well
