Riyad Mahrez

[Morten]

Would not be undeserved. However,wouldnt mind if Kante got it either.

 

[Barcaman]

dms never get same recognition. Ask Makelele and Perez

 

[El Flaco]

He seems to be a winger, everytime I saw him playing. Not really a midfielder.

Leicester almost always use a 4-4-2 formation.

Vardy & Okazaki up-front while Mahrez's a right midfielder.

So Leicester is actually going to win the league..
And with even West Ham in the race England might finally experience not having actual big teams in the CL next year..

That wont happen, Arsenal wont drop out of the top 4, ever. Arsenal is a big club by my definition.

There's not just Arsenal, there's also City. One of them could possibly drop out which would lead to England sending 3 "smaller" participants into the competition. Tottenham might not be that small, they're around the tier of clubs like Valencia, Leverkusen, Roma, Schalke etc and could very well make it out of the group stage. With Leicester or West Ham I don't know. Depends on wether they manage to keep up their form over the summer break.

If Leicester enter the CL as champions of England they'll have a decent chance of surviving the group stages since they won't meet the likes of Barca, Bayern, Paris, Juventus etc. If not, they'll be in pot 4 instead, most likely getting a very tough group. That's how UEFA's system works

The form of these smaller teams rarely transfers over to the next season anyway. At least it's been so with the Spanish teams over the past few seasons.

We had a small town, no name club winning the Danish league a handful years ago only to get promptly relegated the following season.

Maybe on paper. From what i've seen, if he is supposed to be midfielder, then so are Neymar and Messi.

 

[te amo barca]

He definitely defends as a right midfielder, it's 4-4-2 with three defensive lines ala Atletico. Leicester attacks in small numbers, so it's obvious that Mahrez, being the most creative player, finds himself in advanced positions more frequently than (for example) Albrighton, who is more defence-oriented.

If Leicester keeps their team it will be interesting to see how teams cope with their style in the CL. Vardy's pace is unreal and they have a lot of very good players. Kante and Mahrez could play for almost anyone.
