Don't forget to look at the lower leagues,

Barnsley and Bournemouth in div 3
Southend in div 4
I was pointing out, that Chelsea beat Fulham on goal difference and spurs by a point to win the league in season 7, while this season Chelsea survived by a point in the league but Fulham got relegated by 1 point and spurs by 2

Am I alone in thinking Vardy deserves a +1?

Consistently in the top goal scorers in the PL and above Kane this season?

Kane was injured for the last few weeks of the season. Vardy's age and Leicester's position in the league means that he's probably at his rating cap. Can't see it going any higher despite his scoring record.

Play-offs tonight! Good luck to all involved.

Division 2
Mansfield Town v Plymouth Argyle
Cardiff City v Norwich City

Division 3
Crystal Palace v Leicester City

I should be impartial but three of my players are on loan at Mansfield and one is at Norwich so I'll be silently supporting those two.

I do think it’s a shame how the system often works. He’s clearly scoring enough goals to be considered a 92 player I’d say he’s a similar level to the likes of Lacazette who he’s statistically better than.

I don't think Cass reads here anymore but congrats to Plymouth on promotion back to Division 1.

Tomorrow is the Champions Cup final where the winner gets Champions Cup football next season. Manchester City are favourites going into the match.

I wish the game had it in for me too. Where would I fit my 24 trophies.
It is like a switch has gone off the last three seasons. I've not changed anything, going into games with more shots on target and keep losing to teams with just 2 shots on target and scoring 1 goal.
