Frequently Asked Questions
Which Leicester players make the most tackles?

How does Leicester's tackle profile look this season?
Leicester are averaging 12.9 tackles per game over 10 games and concede 17.3 for a match-total of 30.2. That ranks 22nd of 24 for team tackles in their primary competition. They average 7.59 tackles per take-on attempted against them (opposition averages 1.89 take-ons/g).
How is the tackle matchup read calculated?
Tackle matchup blends the defender's tackles per game (50%), the opposition attacker's take-on rate (30%), and the defender's underlying tackle propensity (20%). For the upcoming fixture against Peterborough, the page's matchup read uses each opposition forward's last-season dribble rate to weight Leicester's defenders.
Where do these tackle stats come from?
All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz - 10 Leicester fixtures in the active window for 2026/2027. Player odds come from Bet365 player markets when priced. Pre-match lineups are predicted lineups until team news lands, then confirmed.
What counts as a qualifying appearance?
A player must have featured for at least 20 minutes in a fixture for that match to count toward their tackle rate and form. Cameo appearances are excluded so the rates aren't diluted by 5-minute substitutions.
Do tackles count attempted or only successful?
We count attempted tackles per Sportmonks' definition. That matches what Bet365 settles 1+ tackles markets on, so the page's hit-rate and the bookmaker's pricing are aligned.
