Marc Albrighton

Marc Albrighton is exceedingly good value, his determination and constant directness should endear him to more supporters. Yet, he is not as regular with assists because Leicester City lack a target man, and he nets infrequently. Though, his price, at £5.1 million, is exceptionally good value

However, he may now become more expensive as his place in the side is guaranteed thanks to poor showings from Rachid Ghezzal in particular; and only Demarai Gray as Albrighton’s real rival for a place – and both are part of manager Claude Puel’s supposed prominent XI.

The former is also injured at present so Albrighton must step up and be the main wing-man! Although, Leicester City’s strikers, as well as midfielders, can help him gain a better overall total – by finishing his setups; charging forward into the box Frank Lampard style. Expect a goal or two, and some assists – to go with his two already – by new year. It was a great ping to James Maddison on Saturday versus Watford.

Whereas the winger always give his all, effort is not constantly rewarded in Fantasy Premier League. While, at present Albrighton’s positioning on the pitch, as right-side of the attacking trio, is further up the pitch.

Naturally, this increases the capacity for facilitating and scoring opportunities. Claude Puel seems to like Albrighton – not enamoured as he must have been with Wes Morgan to reinstate the Jamaican following two red cards in three games – yet, there is admiration. A likable chap and a solid addition to your team, even on the #FPL bench.

Former Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri’s Fulham could see a boost in goals and points following the interesting appointment. Just avoid their defenders at all cost – they have the worst goal difference in the top-flight, at -21.
