Key strength: Link-up play
Target man
At 39 years old, Jamie Vardy is still grinding out goals in the Italian football wilderness. Now plying his trade with US Cremonese in a difficult 16th-place position, the former Leicester City hero has proven age is just a number—notching 5 goals and 1 assist across 20 appearances this season. With 1,610 minutes under his belt, Vardy has adapted his game from the raw pace that once terrorized the Premier League to a more cerebral 'target man' role, leveraging his trademark link-up play to keep Cremonese competitive in a relegation scrap. Though his €1M market value reflects the twilight of his career, his five goals have been crucial in keeping the club's hopes alive. Paired in attack with Antonio Sanabria (59 rating), Vardy's veteran presence provides vital leadership alongside teammates like Dennis Johnsen and MartÃn Payero as the club fights to stay afloat.
