#3 Forwards
Jamie Vardy: 75 → 82
Jamie Vardy really did have a party last season, and this party elongated over a year and was absolutely crucial to one of the greatest miracle in modern sports. He scored 24 goals and provided 6 assists in the league, completing an incredible journey from non-league football, 4 years ago, to EPL glory.
His rating will increase by quite a bit, it remains to be seen how much, but our prediction is a rating of 82.
Shinji Okazaki: 78 → 80
Okazaki did not have much to do, due to Vardy’s goal-scoring heroics, but chipped in with valuable performances. The 30-year old had 5 goals to his name last season, and his overall performances should be enough to secure an 80 rated card.
Leonardo Ulloa: 73 → 75
Ulloa merely provided back-up to Vardy last season, and made 29 appearances, out of which 22 was from the bench. However, he managed to score 6 goals and provided 2 assists, and his best performance was the brace against Swansea City at a time when people thought the Foxes’ would fumble following Vardy’s suspension.
The Argentine was not as good as his other team-mates, but FIFA will probably give him a +2 increase.
