Leicester is a counter attack team but they actually counter with smart moves. They don't really smash and run.

Vardy's movement is insane. Drags defenders all around the pitch. And when he is trying to get himself open he's very difficult to cover.

It's a relentless attack on the backline. Vardy tries to get in behind, gets back onside, tries to get in behind again. He occupies so much attention and keeps defenders on the back heel. Guys like Mahrez come in behind him with so much space between the defensive and midfield lines.
that may explain them if they only had some good runs and be on the top 10 or such, but they are on the very top; are EPL teams so crap and stupid this season or what? or did leicester players suddenly went super saiyan or something that cause them to upgrade their collective skills...? huh?

Arsenal... :lol: The one year they had a shot at winning this, theoretical chance I mean.

Seriously Arsenal should be considered a china clubs where good players go to play only for money, can't see any other reason why would anyone go there to play?

Arsenal finished 3rd or 4th all last 10 seasons. I'd say they're very consistent. As a player you know what you're going to get: CL football, you will probably get knocked out in the 2nd round though, and until February you can pretend to be a contender for the title. I'd say as a football player there must be zero pressure at Arsenal, I can see the appeal.

Don't you agree, @Fred?

CL football is actually a big draw.

Premier League football, that international exposure.

Nice stadiums.

Lots of money.

Living in London. Big pros and cons there but lots of people like big cities and hiding in them.

And of course for those who have ambition they can always move to a bigger PL team or to Spain afterwards.

Yeah, I think Arsenal offer everything a bigger club do, minus the chance of actually winning something. But that also takes the pressure off. And if you do have the ambition to win something you can move on to bigger clubs, that have seen you play in both EPL and CL.

Oh sweet lord, what I wouldn't give to see Ranieri winning the title with Leicester. You can't script that shit. Never gonna happen sadly.

The ideal stepping stone to an actual topteam

It's also reflected in their legends BTW. They have guys like Henry, Bergkamp and Fabregas who to them are all absolute club legends. At other bigger clubs they just couldn't hack it though.
