#8 Islam Slimani – Leicester City – 83 Overall (88 Physical)
The English champions’ new recruit has an overall of 83, and a physical rating of 88. Slimani was brought in from Portuguese side, Sporting CP, despite their efforts to hold on to the player. Slimani will reunite with Riyad Mahrez at King Power Stadium, with whom he’s played international football for Algeria.
Slimani is a striker, and his physical presence gives him an edge over opposition defenders, especially with aerial balls. His physicality makes it easier for him to nudge off defenders and he proved his class by scoring 31 goals in 44 matches last season.
Slimani can prove to be an excellent buy for Leicester City if he can recreate his form of last season, and along with Vardy, the defending champs will have a strong attacking force this season.
