3) Ahmed Musa
In an attempt to prove that their Premier League title was not a one-off, Leicester City have reinforced their attacking options with the club-record signing of Ahmed Musa from CSKA Moscow. And the new recruit has already smashed his critics with impressive pace and performances in Leicester City’s pre-season friendlies, as he announced himself on the big stage against the mighty Barcelona.
Musa, together with Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, form a formidable attack which could easily be judged as the speediest front line in England. As you might already be thinking, whether or not, it is true that we suggest Musa should be picked ahead of Vardy. This is based mostly on account of the arrangement, which will likely be made by majority teams as fantasy managers try to fit the best bargain options.
Musa priced at £7.5m thus beats Vardy, whose last season’s heroics have rocketed his starting price to £10m. Besides, Musa should feature amongst points as he seems naturally suited to exploit Claudio Ranieri’s style of counter-attacks and routing through spaces in the final third.
