With the second Fantasy Premier League Wildcard available, The Scout reviews the top targets to consider for the chip.
Riyad Mahrez (LEI) £8.6m
The Algerian is surpassing the form that once made him the top-scoring player in the game.
Mahrez supplied 240 points in Leicester City’s 2015/16 season, at an average of 6.4 points per match.
The midfielder has produced a goal or an assist in eight of the last nine Gameweeks, averaging 7.3 points per match during that time.
Mahrez has scored or assisted 53% of Leicester's goals this season.
Again that betters even the title-winning campaign during which he contributed 45% of the goals scored when on the pitch.
Upcoming opponents
His prospects remain strong given Leicester’s forthcoming schedule.
Claude Puel’s side have four home matches over their next seven Gameweeks, while their visiting opponents to King Power Stadium all score only two in the Fixture Difficulty Rankings (FDR).
The combination of form and fixtures means Mahrez is the second most-signed player ahead of Gameweek 23, 154,000+ making a move.
