Thierry Henry was a once in a generation type forward though...The invincibles didn't have a traditional CF and they did just fine in 03/04.
Chelsea won the title with 9 goals only from Drogba in 04/05.
Jamie Vardy is not an elite forward - Leicester won the title.
As long as a team scores plenty of
goals they generally win the league ( I believe more often than not the highest scoring team has won the league in the modern era) and don't concede too many it is irrelevant who scores them.
Vardy played like an elite forward in the season they won the league.
Chelsea's defence was ridiculous in 04/05 though. Bit of an outlier.
You guys concede shitloads so you need to fix that to really challenge for the title. Think Pool can take 3rd-4th every season with their attacking firepower but without a high class DM and GK you'll struggle to challenge. When you were at your most dangerous you had Mascherano and peak Reina. Never really replaced them.
