About this formation

Leicester's title heroics alone should be enough to put them in this PL. Additional to that though they have had some good runs since, this season springs to mind. Furthermore they had a good run in the 90's, with some players I always liked. It really is very hard to improve on the Premier League winning team for obvious reasons. I decided to strengthen the right back position with Chilwell, as the year they won it their right back changed a couple of times and I don't believe either were as good as he is. I also swapped Huth for Maguire, for the main reason that Huth has had a few teams and could strengthen another defence, where as Maguire is a pretty good replacement. I sacrificed Drinkwater's partnership to add Heskey to the ranks. Whilst this might seem biased (and maybe to some degree). My thoughts were that Heskey doesn't only add a physical presence up front, but height - which was something they lacked, and not to mention he contributed 40 goals in his time there. But I also feel he would link up with Vardy, Okazaki and Mahrez very will, additionally being an obvious target man for the wingers aerial balls. Whilst taking out Drinkwater could weaken the centre, I figured Albrighton is very impressive defensively, and can always drop in to support, allowing Vardy to cover the left wing (which he does often drift out to anyway. This still leaves Okazaki and Heskey to lead the attack through the centre. Honourable mentions are Simpson, Guppy and Izzet. Morgan gets the captaincy and Ranieri is more deserving than anyone else I can think of!
