Leicester Citys Premier League season has been impressive from start to finish, with Claudio Ranieris side cementing their place in history by winning the title. Every member of the squad has played their part - from the week-in, week-out starters to the bit-part back-ups - and Foxes fans now look forward to a Champions League campaign next season.With the clubs maiden Premier League title secured, Sky Sports asked club legend Alan Smith to rate their key title-winning players out of 10. GOALKEEPERKasper Schmeichel - 8Hes grown in self-belief as the season has gone on. Hes a very competent keeper; I wouldnt say hes one of the best keepers in the league. Hes not on the level of Hugo Lloris and David de Gea, but Schmeichel has done all hes had to and he is a good communicator with his defenders. Theres a good head on his shoulders and all credit to him for coming out the shadow of his father like he has. Hes an excellent goalkeeper in his own right. Kasper Schmeichel has been ever-present for the Foxes so far this season DEFENDERSChristian Fuchs - 8Id seen him play a bit at Schalke, and hes obviously the Austria captain so has come in to the club as a highly experienced player. He couldnt get in at the start - Jeff Schlupp was the left-back - but when he did get in, he hasnt looked back. Hes a tough man to beat in a one-on-one, and hes played his part going forward. That ball in for Vardy in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United was a beauty, so hes done really well. Christian Fuchs is tough to beat in a one-on-one situation Robert Huth - 8Another one who doesnt complicate his game; hes a very physical player. In terms of partnerships, he and Wes Morgan have dove-tailed brilliantly. If youre a centre-forward, hes the sort of player you dont look forward to facing. He grapples with you, he doesnt mess about, doesnt mind going in hard, and hes good positionally. He rarely gets caught for pace... hes not the quickest, but he doesnt often get into those positions where hes in a race with a striker. As weve seen on occasions, hes dangerous at attacking set pieces with his height and power. A great success story of the season. Robert Huth has been a rock at the back for Leicester this season Wes Morgan - 8Although hes the captain, hes not overly well-spoken or vocal. Everybody respects him, and hes in a position now where hes lifting the Premier League trophy after having a fairly unspectacular time at Nottingham Forest. A really good character and a good professional, much like Huth. He dictates things, and if he has to find Row Z, he will. Again, hes not the quickest defender, but between the two centre-backs, theyve not really been exposed. Wes Morgan is a well-respected leader for Leicester Danny Simpson - 8The two full-backs have been great. At one stage, Ranieri decided that he didnt want him bombing on too much - they can every now and again - but Danny concentrates on not getting beaten, and on holding his position. Hes done it very well. His career seemed to be heading nowhere - at Newcastle and QPR, it didnt take off - but here hes grabbed it with both hands. Hes not an attacking full-back in the mould of Hector Bellerin, but he is a top defender, very determined. He had a setback when he was sent off at Arsenal, but hes bounced back from that and has done really well. A very steady player. Danny Simpson has found a new lease of life at Leicester Ritchie De Laet - 7Ritchie de Laet joined Middlesbrough on loan in January but, before then, he made 12 Premier League appearances for Leicester this season and did his job well, if unspectacularly. It is the mark of a winning side that you have these kind of characters that go under the radar. Ritchie De Laet has been the perfect back-up player for the Foxes MIDFIELDERSMarc Albrighton - 8Hes been incredibly consistent, a regular in that Leicester team. Hes such a hard worker too, gets up and down. He protects and works really well with Christian Fuchs, and delivers a very good cross as well. Hes got this great ability to float a ball over the head of the centre-half and into the path of Jamie Vardy. He doesnt play a complicated game, he keeps it fairly simple, but hes been extremely effective. Marc Albrighton has been a regular for Leicester this season NGolo Kante - 10Hes been an absolute revelation. Nobody had really heard of him and the way he acclimatised to the Premier League almost straight away when he came into the team was impressive. Claudio Ranieri played Gokhan Inler initially, but he swapped about and Kante came into the side. He played wide against Stoke that day in September, and hes not looked back since. He covers the ground so quickly and effectively, almost glides across the ground. Hes so quick over 5-10 yards and is a great reader of the game. He can intercept without needing to tackle, but he doesnt mind a tackle either. Ive hardly seen him have a bad game. NGolo Kante rarely has a bad game and glides across the ground Danny Drinkwater - 9Hes just been brilliant. Hes not a youngster but he knows that midfield role and whats expected of him. Hes a good passer of the ball and likes to hit that long one to Vardy down the channel; he doesnt have to look up often, theyve got a good understanding. Hes got a good partnership with NGolo Kante as well, as a double act they dove-tail perfectly. They feed off each other and suit one another. Hes just been great. Danny Drinkwater has created a brilliant partnership with Kante in midfield Nathan Dyer - 7.5I commentated on the huge game against Aston Villa, when Dyer scored a massively important goal. He scored the winning goal in a 3-2 victory, which signalled the end for Villa and almost the start of things for Leicester. He showed a lot of bravery. I think some people at Swansea were surprised they let him go out on loan. He hasnt had much of a chance but that goal secured three points and you look back at the end of the season and these moments are huge. On loan from Swansea, Nathan Dyer scored a very important goal against Villa Andy King - 7.5I like Andy. Its been hard because hes been a regular before now but has had to step down and be a support act, but hes done it very well when called upon. Hes a very good finisher, as proved by his goals-to-game ratio for Leicester. Hes a hard-worker too, and a very, very good squad player. Andy King has proven to be a great back-up option Riyad Mahrez - 10What can you say? Hes a special player that gets people out of their seats. Hes so exciting and so positive when he gets on the ball. He looks about eight stone soaking wet but hes got that wiry strength about him and is hard to bully. Hes got great balance and change of direction, and of course his goals - hes scored more away from home than at the King Power, and theyve been big goals as well. Invaluable player. Leicesters Riyad Mahrez won the PFA Player of the Year award in April Jeffrey Schlupp - 7.5Hes had to take a step down and has spent large portions of the season on the bench, but he came in the other day and put in an excellent shift against Swansea, as he did when he won the penalty against West Ham - it was a vital point there. Hes very quick and very strong. Hes a good man to have on the bench and bring on. Jeff Schlupp hasnt played every game, but won an important penalty against West Ham STRIKERSLeonardo Ulloa - 7.5He has had a good season. Hes had to play the support act and is a different sort of player to Vardy. Hes a back-to-goal man and was excellent against Swansea the other day. Ulloa has scored some big goals: that penalty against West Ham and then two against Swansea last week. He is the classic sub who is always ready when called upon. He doesnt sulk, keeps his chin up and is always ready for the challenge. Leonardo Ulloa was magnificent against Swansea and has scored important goals Shinji Okazaki - 7.5Hes impressed, particularly in the last 10 or 15 games when hes played a big part. Youll rarely see a player run around as much. His perpetual motion, he never stops. He always gets subbed off with about 20 minutes to go; Ranieris attitude is, Let him run himself ragged and hassle opponents, and then when he starts to tire, Ill bring him off. He drops in, helps the midfield and allows Vardy to push on. Hes played more than his part in Leicesters amazing season. Shinji Okazakis work-rate has made him a valuable member of the squad Jamie Vardy - 10Hes been a whirlwind, hasnt he? Vardy has gone from strength to strength… no worries about his reputation, no fear, he grabs games by the scruff of the neck and what a fine finisher he is. Hes obviously got great pace, but he can finish with his left and his right foot. Its not a flash in the pan - you think, Hes come from non-League, is it a one-season wonder? but I dont think so with him, hes just been a late developer.Hes a top-class striker. He will be important for England at Euro 2016 this summer too. Youd expect him to have a role off the bench, but hes the last person you want to face in the last 20 minutes of a match with his strength and aggression. Hes in dreamland after where he came from.

CHICAGO -- The World Series is hardly the only historic contest preoccupying the owners of the Chicago Cubs this fall.The wealthy Ricketts family -- Joe and Marlene, and their adult children Pete, Tom, Todd and Laura -- also are big players in the political arena, hosting high-dollar fundraisers and donating millions to influence the presidential election. But while everyone in the family rallies around the beloved ball team, when it comes to political causes and candidates ... well, not so much.Most of the Ricketts are Republicans who support GOP nominee Donald Trump, though during the primary Joe and Marlene spent millions to stop the New York businessman, prompting Trump to lash out at the family on Twitter. Son Pete is the conservative governor of Nebraska, and four years ago the family was pulled into a controversy involving President Barack Obama.Laura Ricketts, meanwhile, is a top Democratic donor who held a high-dollar fundraiser for Hillary Clinton this summer and was a superdelegate who supported her at the Democratic National Convention. After it became known a super PAC founded by her father planned to spend millions to help Trump, she showed up at Wrigley Field sporting a hat with the Clinton campaign logo.The Ricketts family, originally from Omaha, bought the Cubs in 2009 for $845 million. While Joe Ricketts made the family fortune as chairman of TD Ameritrade, son Tom Ricketts -- who mostly avoids politics -- serves as Cubs chairman. His siblings are co-owners and board members.The family deferred comment to a spokesman, who emphasized that many families could relate to the Ricketts divided political loyalties, even those who share their sports passions.The Ricketts family, like the families of many Cubs fans, have diverse political views, spokesman Dennis Culloton said. But they are very close and they love each other and thats been the case before, during and long after their World Series run and election seasons.Joe Ricketts is a GOP mega-donor who founded the super PAC Future 45. The group and a related nonprofit entity are scheduled to spend about $15 million on anti-Clinton and pro-Trump advertisements by Election Day, according Federal Election Commission reports. The groups have so far concentrated on the battleground state of Florida, according to Kantar Medias political ad tracker.Roughly half of the spending has come through the 45 Committee, a nonprofit group that does not have to disclose its donors to tthe public.ddddddddddddFEC documents show Future 45 is getting a big assist from Las Vegas casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson. Through the end of September, he and his wife, Miriam, contributed $10 million to the group.Early on, however, Marlene and Joe Ricketts investments in the presidential race went mostly to their preferred candidate, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who flamed out early in the GOP primary.The couple was so concerned about Trump winning the primary that they pumped $5.5 million into an effort to stop him in the first few months of this year, FEC records show. When Marlene Ricketts first contribution made headlines, Trump warned on Twitter that the family better be careful, they have a lot to hide!Tom Ricketts later told reporters the family isnt hiding anything, adding: Its a little surreal when Donald Trump threatens your mom.Shortly after the effort to stop Trump failed, Brian Baker, who directs the familys political activities, said Joe and Marlene Ricketts always intended to support the GOP nominee -- even Trump.Pete Ricketts in Nebraska endorsed Trump shortly after the other candidates for the GOP nomination left the race.Todd Ricketts, who like Tom and Laura lives in suburban Chicago, raised money for Walkers presidential campaign, but also has gotten behind Trump, hosting a fundraiser for him alongside former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka.The familys politics have caused at least one major rift in Chicago, a deeply Democratic city.During the 2012 election, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel reportedly was infuriated by reports that Joe Ricketts was considering a $10 million campaign against Obama that would refer to the racially incendiary sermons delivered by the minister at a church Obama once attended. Joe Ricketts said he had nothing to do with the proposal, which was dropped, but it became one of many bumps in the Cubs efforts to get approval for major ballpark renovations.In a 2013 Chicago magazine profile, Tom Ricketts made clear the Ricketts prefer to be recognized for the Cubs, not politics.To be a part of a family that brings a World Series champion to these fans would be one of the greatest legacies you could imagine, he said.---Associated Press writer Julie Bykowicz in Washington contributed to this report.---Follow Sara Burnett on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/sara-burnett Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
