Jamie Vardy Scout Report

At 37 years old, Jamie Vardy shows no sign of slowing down as he continues to be a force of reckoning and immense threat for Leicester City in the Championship. As a striker, Vardy's biggest strength comes in the goal threat department, where he is simply unparalleled with a percentile ranking of 100. This implies no forward in the league is a bigger goal-scoring threat than Vardy per 90 minutes, a remarkable feat especially considering his age. His excellent goal efficiency (71.4%) and impressive chance-creation (66.7%) make him an irreplaceable asset for 'The Foxes'. On the goal-scoring front, he has an impressive xG per 90, again a perfect 100, indicating his anticipated goals are above peer strikers. His high shots per 90 (72.13%) and goals per 90 (100%) further underline his predatory instincts in front of the goal. However, while Vardy possess excellent ball retention (80.95%), his low percentile scores on progressive carrying (28.57%) and passing (31.74%) imply he is more of a poacher than a build-up player. With a below average pass accuracy per 90 (59.02%), he perfectly fits the mould of a traditional striker, whose main job is to finish and not to create. To sum it up, Jamie Vardy is quite a classic striker with lethal scoring ability, but his style seems more suited for direct play rather than being involved in ball progression or distribution. Still, his goal output is what makes him indispensable. All in all, with age-defying performances, Jamie Vardy continues to dominate the Championship and is definitely the talisman Leicester City needs at this stage.
