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?

    The only way to end a hwang would be Matip. Expected Hwang to explode all over Liverpool today

    2FT, 0.6 ITB

    Salah Greenwood to Yarmolenko Auba and go 3-4-3?

    Current team:
    Pope
    TAA VVD Ota Guilbert
    Salah Sterling Mount KDB
    Abraham Haller

    Subs: Button, Greenwood, Dendonker, Rico

      I'd say Roy is kaking himself if Alfie's son ever gets near him, beast.

    Gomez won’t be getting near the team again anytime soon.

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Worryingly, he's dangerously close to the England team.

      Had to be Henderson

    Haland is going to be a $100M player at this rate

  16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Haaland Tap in, but to get that space, at this level, at that age takes something special - nuts on VVD though

  17. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years

    Definitely a clean sheet if Alisson was in goal.

    Definitely..

      Good call.

  21. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years

    That Salzburg striker is good he should play for a team in Haaland

  22. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Lol, tbh I missed the Liverpool team that could lose a 3 goal lead in 30 minutes

    1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years

    Remember those 2 magical Liverpool/Spurs nights in the spring? This looks like the flip side of that.

  26. mcgrejam

    A) Salah, Aguero, Pukki
    B) Auba, Mane, Vardy

    A or B please?

  27. The Ejiptian King

    Hope we buy Haland in Jan, good backup for Greenwood.

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

      With role models like J-Lingz and Pog-Boom to guide him, he couldn’t help but flourish

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

        Does he use Snapchat?

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      One of Ole's babes.

      He certainly looks like he has the makings of a top player.

    3. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Wants to play for Leeds 🙂

  28. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    If Alisson was in goal, this would easily still have been 3-0.

  29. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Manc city will sign him.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Origi?

  30. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Haland essential
