2015/16 Premier League title winners, starting eleven.
For all the headline-grabbing exploits of top scorer Jamie Vardy and twinkle-toed winger Riyad Mahrez, Leicester City’s fairytale Premier League title success has been very much a collective effort. What is amazing is that the starting eleven that was responsible for this collective effort cost just £22m, according to a report by BBC . That amount is less than half the amount Manchester City paid for Kevin de Bruyne at the start of the season.
We take a look at the average Leicester starting eleven and how much they cost individually.
Kasper Schmeichel arrived at Leicester in 2011. Now 29, the Denmark international did not possess his father’s extraordinary physicality, but was ever-present for Leicester this season, helping his low-scoring side record 15 vital clean sheets on course to Premier League glory. The young goalkeeper, who was signed from Leeds cost Leicester just £1.25m. Schmeichel was miffed that Leeds decided to sell him, as reported by the Telegraph . Wonder what he feels now.
Kasper was always between the posts.
