Riyad Mahrez has crowned a memorable campaign with Leicester City with a hat-trick of prizes in the EA SPORTS 2015/16 Fantasy Premier League awards.

The Leicester playmaker claimed the award for the highest-points scorer over the season, with 240 FPL points, seven more than last year's winner Eden Hazard accumulated during his stand-out campaign with Chelsea.

Mahrez finished 29 FPL points head of team-mate Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane, of Tottenham Hotspur, who were joint-second.

The Algerian played all but one match of the league season, scoring 17 goals and providing 11 assists.
