The ratings was for every Leicester City player that featured against West Brom and was compiled by Leicester Mercury.

Despite not playing in his preferred midfield position, Ndidi was one of Leicester’s best performer in the win against the Baggies.
And following his impressive display, Ndidi was rated seven out of 10.
And commenting on Ndidi’s performance Leicester Mercury wrote: “After his nervous start in an unfamiliar role, including some iffy back-passes, the Nigerian was as solid as he usually is in midfield, blocking shots, winning tackles, and beating his men in foot races.”
Other players who were rated seven are Kasper Schmeichel, Soyuncu, James Justin, Papy Mendy and Jamie Vardy.

He deserved Higher than a 7 but then again the English Media rated him. They will never give a African the rating he deserves. Those who watched the match will concur
With this sudden change of position I hope it will not affect his value? Because I wish to see him in one of the big European clubs one day.
7/10 is an excellent rating bro, I am not surprised that Ndidi impressed at CB position, he has played there in the Turkey’2013 and New Zealand ‘2015 u-20 World Cups, he also started his career @ Genk at CB before he switched to Midfield, Indeed has just confirmed himself as one player The SE can’t do without at the moment.
