James Maddison

In all honesty, the playmaker lost form momentarily, for a couple of games. Then disaster struck as he was sent off for diving – costing Fantasy Premier League players around the world valuable points. Yet now, the former Norwich man looks set to continue in the same vein which won him a senior England call-up.

Currently Maddison is Leicester City’s second highest scoring player as of now with 55 points. He has two assists and four goals; but it is easy to speculate on that tally being well into double figures by May. Even 10 or above in both categories is not out of the realm of possibility, and would obviously make him a wanted man at superpower clubs globally.

With Fulham, Crystal Palace, Southampton, Everton and Wolves upcoming, the 22-year-old will be eyeing points galore. Being as he is the pivotal attacking player at Leicester City, his status as a lynchpin makes him an almost compulsory starter – even in a congested period of matches. Confidence is no problem for Maddison, he has it in abundance.

Faith in ability is a favourable trait of players, one which ‘fantasy bosses’ relish, for this reason: at any moment, a ‘luxury player’ such as the Young Lion can flick a switch and supply a moment of genius in the most stale of clashes. Ultimately, it is likely he will finish top of the Foxes.

Must Read. LCFC's injury issues. light

Jamie Vardy is FoL’s initial honourable mention, not a particularly cheap option at £8.9 million but he gives you consistently everything he has for a goal and bonus points! However, he may be sidelined until the new year as he may require surgery on his groin. In addition, Ricardo Pereira is our next honourable mention – he is actually Leicester City’s highest scorer so far this season, with 60 points. Harry Maguire would normally make the list but he is injured.
