8 Premier League Teams As Video Games

3. Leicester City - Undertale

Call Of Duty Man Utd
Toby Fox/Leicester

Undertale released in 2015, the same year Leicester City’s title winning season began, and its staggering success upon release was about as likely as a team of relegation candidates going on a title tilt.

Where Undertake was single handedly created by Toby Fox, the Foxes needed slightly more help in their title winning season, boasting a three man team of N’Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and whichever eight other players turned up first. Sometimes Jeff Schlupp even got a run out. Seriously.

But it's not just the success or success or the seemingly solo effort that links Leicester and Undertale together in an underdog shaped melting pot.

The 'Love' mechanic that comes from non-violence of enemy encounters is reminiscent of the love-in for manager Claudio Ranieri, only for this all to go up in smoke nine months later as Ranieri was sacked following a defeat to Sevilla in the first leg of a Champions League game. Leicester went on to overturn the defeat in the next round and give Atletico Madrid a run for their money in the next round.

It's a funny old game. Hey, just like Undertale.
