Is Riyad Mahrez a viable cut-price FPL route into the Man City attack?

Averaging 10.50 points per start and providing better value for money (based on points per million spent) than all other Manchester City assets bar Kevin De Bruyne (£10.0m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) is hovering on the Fantasy Premier League radar at present.

With De Bruyne nursing a groin injury and a doubt for the visit of Wolves on Sunday, the demand for Mahrez’s services may well step up a notch as we approach the weekend.

Currently, the Algerian is the fifth-most-bought FPL midfielder of Gameweek 8.

Successive double-digit hauls against Watford and Everton have increased interest, although he is still very much in differential territory when it comes to FPL ownership (4.1% at the time of writing).

Is he worth considering as a Fantasy option, then, in the weeks ahead?

      Auba

  7. WVA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    How much better is Mane than Salah?

    A. A million times
    B. Twice as good

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Well Mane has scored tonight and Salah has not scored tonight so I guess it’s got to be A

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I do think he's the better player.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        And cheaper and scores more goals

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Salah better option if can afford

  8. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Got concussed in training about a year ago and couldn't remember who he was.
      Jurgen told him he was Marcelo and the rest is history.

  14. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Tammy is no longer due. Sad.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Poor Tammy has had a miscarriage?!

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why? If anything gives bags of confidence to carry on scoring

  19. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Salah due beyond belief.

  21. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Hopefully Mo will throw a silk and everyone will assist him next match.

  22. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Has Mané becomr a better fpl option than Salah?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not really, about the same at the moment

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He almost always was, always cheaper and always value.

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not the 2017-2018 season. Thas season Salah was insane value.

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Lol

    3. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No

  23. BrutalLogiC
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Would you wildcard this?

    Ederson
    Vvd, TAA, Soyun, Lund, Digne
    Salah, mcginn, mount, kdb, cantwell
    Abraham, pukki, wilson

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah.

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No. I'd lose Ederson though.

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Looks like its already been Wild Carded.

      :Bats eyelids:

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

    6. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      wildcard to what?

      1. BrutalLogiC
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Basically Auba + Mane.

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Scenes if that combo happens in FPL

    0.6 price rise between them in 1 week

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Tomori CS bust

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Another set piece (corner.)

      Invest in Vestergaard.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        how have you not written Investergaard

  26. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Chelsea set pieces!

    Zouma & Tomori useless.

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tomori has an assist!

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        At that corner.

  27. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Salah always chooses the wrong option from dribbling, shooting and passing. At least for last three games.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not now he doesn't

  28. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Chelsea just don’t do CS’s

    Tomori good bench fodder though

  29. TAT
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchéz with a good start at Inter. Ole must be happy.

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Man United paying him good salary for a reason.

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Indeed.

    Pope (button)
