Hamza Choudhury - Ends season without role Choudhury played 10 minutes over the final two months of the season.
Impact Choudhury saw most of his time in Europa League, where he made five starts compared to four in league play from 10 appearances. His role was smaller from the prior campaign, mainly because Youri Tielemans was locked into the midfield and Wilfred Ndidi stayed healthy outside of the first month.

Daniel Amartey - Ends campaign on bench Amartey stayed on the bench for the final seven matches of the season after appearing in eight of the prior nine contests.
Impact Amartey finished with 12 league appearances (eight starts), but he was notably left out when Jonny Evans picked up an injury late in the season. Amartey was used as a center-back and right-back throughout the season, but in need of points, he wasn't asked to take the pitch, something to keep in mind ahead of the new campaign.

Marc Albrighton - Starts final four matches Albrighton started the final four matches of the season, producing one goal, one assist, two shots on target, nine chances created and 23 crosses.
Impact Albrighton ended the season with a few starts, mainly because Leicester needed someone on the wing to replace Timothy Castagne, who moved back for the injured Jonny Evans. Albrighton is more of a bench player when everyone is healthy, but that still led to 31 appearances (17 starts) this season, compiling one goal and five assists.
MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nampalys Mendy - Comes off bench in finale Mendy played 69 minutes off the bench in Sunday's finale after appearing in just one of the prior seven matches.
Impact Mendy struggled for playing time when everyone else was healthy, which wasn't surprising. He was the main backup for Wilfred Ndidi in the midfield and that led to playing time early in the season but barely any late. For the season, he had 23 appearances (15 starts), a solid boost from the prior campaign.
MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kelechi Iheanacho - Ends season with down performance Iheanacho had two shots (one on target) and a chance created in Sunday's finale against Tottenham.
Impact Iheanacho picked the wrong time to have a bad performance, as it was Jamie Vardy's day, bracing from the penalty spot. Still, this was the season of a small breakout for Iheanacho, who finished with 12 goals and two assists in 25 league appearances (16 starts), along with three goals and three assists in UEFA play. If he can add another level to his game, he's a logical replacement for an aging Vardy.
MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ayoze Perez - Moves in and out of XI Perez started two of the final three matches of the season, supplying two shots and a chance created.
Impact It doesn't look like Perez will be a regular in the squad going forward, as he still wasn't getting regular minutes without Harvey Barnes in the squad. Perez finished with 15 starts from 25 league appearances, totaling two goals, one assist, 31 shots and 23 chances created.
MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Praet - Stays on bench final month Praet appeared in just two matches over the second half of the season after returning from a hamstring injury.
Impact Praet got a lot of time in the midfield earlier in the season, but a hamstring injury derailed his minutes and he never found a role again. He finished with a combined 14 starts from 21 appearances across the Premier League and UEFA play, totaling two goals, one assist, 14 shots and 12 chances created.
MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Caglar Soyuncu - Ends season healthy Soyuncu started the final seven matches of the season after missing the first part of the campaign with a groin injury.
Impact Soyuncu started when healthy and that led to 19 starts and five clean sheets. His groin injury was a problem from October to January, but once he cleared that issue, he was a rock on the back line, though Leicester will likely aim for more clean sheets next season.
MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Thomas - Finds bigger role to close season Thomas started six of the final seven matches on the left wing, scoring one goal from five shots.
Impact Thomas got more time late in the season because Ricardo Pereira was battling fitness issues. In total, he finished with 14 appearances (12 starts), accuring seven shots and seven chances created. It's unknown what the future holds for Thomas if all of the regulars are healthy for Leicester, but in limited appearances, he's shown his ability, something Brendan Rodgers will take into account next season.
MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Onyinye Wilfred Ndidi - Remains versatile option for Foxes Ndidi finished with one goal and four assists from 25 league starts this past season, playing as a central midfielder and center-back.
Impact Despite dealing with a nagging groin injury early in the season, Ndidi still managed 25 starts, most of them in the midfield. He's a great complement to Youri Tielemans, but when needed, Ndidi moved to center-back, something Leicester will hope to avoid in the future.
MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ricardo Pereira - Lacks fitness to close season Pereira started one of the final seven matches of the season after battling fitness following a return from injury.
Impact Pereira missed the first part of the season because of a knee injury, but that extended out to groin, calf and hamstring issues the rest of the way. He finished with 10 starts and 15 appearances, mainly because he couldn't stay fit. The hope is that he'll return to full health over the summer and get back to his usual role next season.

Wesley Fofana - Out of Euros Fofana will miss the upcoming Euros because of a hamstring injury suffered in the season finale, he revealed via Instagram.
Impact It's an unfortunate injury for Fofana, who not only had to miss the majority of Leicester's must-win finale, but now he'll miss the Euros. He'll have a couple months to get back to health and full fitness ahead of the new season. He closes his first Premier League campaign with six clean sheets in 27 starts along with the FA Cup title.

Timothy Castagne - Quiet in loss Castagne created two chances and recorded two crosses (one accurate) in a 4-2 loss Sunday versus Tottenham.
Impact Castagne will finish this season with 53 tackles, 51 clearances and 30 interceptions across 28 Premier League games. On offense, he involved himself in five goals during that 28-game span.
MAY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Youri Tielemans - Insufficient in loss Tielemans recorded eight crosses (three accurate), eight corners and four chances created in a 4-2 loss Sunday versus Tottenham.
Impact Tielemans was threatening in midfield but failed to help Leicester City score enough goals that preserved them a Champions League spot. Fortunately for him, he will finish this season with averages of 3.6 crosses, 2.6 corners and 1.3 chances created across 38 domestic-league games.
MAY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
James Maddison - Quiet in finale Maddison recorded one shot not on goal in a 4-2 loss Sunday versus Tottenham.
Impact Maddison oddly started from the left flank, a first for him this season. He did not perform well and was subbed off in place of Ricardo Pereira after 62 minutes. Maddison will finish this season with eight goals and five assists across 31 Premier League games.
MAY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jamie Vardy - Records brace Vardy recorded two goals on three shots (two on goal) in a 4-2 loss Sunday versus Tottenham.
Impact Vardy recorded braces in both the first and last Premier League fixtures for Leicester City this season. He will finish it with a goal tally of 15 on 82 shots (38 on goal) across 34 games.
MAY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kasper Schmeichel - Concedes four times Schmeichel made one save but conceded four times in a 4-2 loss Sunday versus Tottenham.
Impact Out of every game Schmeichel played this season, his finale against Tottenham was the worst. He had not conceded four times without making multiple saves. Despite that, Schmeichel will finish this season with 88 saves and 11 clean sheets across 38 Premier League games.
