Stability has been the name of Ranieri's game at Leicester City and he has
now given up his famous mantle of tinkering because of it

Ranieri was once applauded and criticised in the same breath for his tendency
to chop and change his line-up at Chelsea.
So much that he become known as the Tinkerman.
However, stability has been the name of his game at Leicester City on his way to the Premier League title last season.
And in terms of starters used this season he's well on the top of the table.
So who is the new Tinkerman? It's David Moyes .
The Sunderland manager has given starts to 22 different players in league games this season, more than any other manager, as he battles to find a winning formula and avoid relegation.
Only one Black Cats player has started every game - Jermain Defoe.
Lamine Kone has the next highest number of starts, six, with the club’s first home game against Middlesbrough being the only one he missed.
