Impact Schmeichel only faced two shots during Sunday's one-sided win, and failed to save one.

Ricardo Pereira - Assists on return Pereira provided one assist off the bench during Sunday's 4-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Pereira (hamstring) came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of the season after returning from a hamstring injury. The wing-back did well to earn the assist and it's at least a positive for him to end healthy after another injury-hampered season. He's battled a torn ACL, fractured fibula and multiple hamstring injuries the last two years, but as seen in his 23 starts the last two seasons, he will be used when healthy. He signed a new contract earlier this year and the hope is that he can find that health ahead of next season.

Harvey Barnes - Assists in finale Barnes provided one assist on one chance created during Sunday's 4-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Barnes ended the Premier League season with an assist, moving him to 10, his first season with double-digit assists. Barnes also tallied more shots (66) than in any other campaign in his career, backing up a very encouraging season. The winger has been excellent throughout the 2021/22 campaign and is a crucial part of the Leicester attack moving forward.

Ayoze Perez - Brace off bench Perez scored twice on two shots off the bench during Sunday's 4-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Perez came off the bench for the final 27 minutes of the season finale and scored twice, his first two goals of the campaign. The attacking midfielder hasn't gotten on the pitch too often, with only 14 appearances and six starts. Perez is unlikely to truly break into the starting XI in any respect moving forward, and is a veteran depth option.
