The England striker has already managed five goals this season despite Leicester City angering the random fixture generator, which served up the 2015-16 champions a gentle opening salvo which included Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool.

The Foxes get some respite from the big boys in the coming weeks, with home games against West Brom and Everton and trips to Stoke and Swansea much more winnable on paper, and more profitable for those Fantasy Premier League managers with Vardy up top.

Vardy found the net against three of those four opponents last season - Everton being the exception - and should be refreshed after having the international break off to rest a hip problem, which he played through in the 0-0 draw with Bournemouth last Saturday.

At £8.5m, there is no second-tier striker in the game better equipped to play a supporting role to your leading marksman over the next month, but only 13% of managers have him.
