Paul Pogba is a doubt for the Leicester game after the international break with an ankle injury, but there are also several other reasons to drop the Man United man from your squad. Although he started the season positively with a nine pointer against Chelsea, he has accumulated just four points in the next three games, which included missing a penalty.

Spot kick duties were a big part of his appeal last season and he looks to have surrendered them now to Rashford and he also seems to be playing a deeper midfield role rather than in a no.10 position. This is reflected in his stats – he registered only 11 penalty box touches, four SiB in the last three matches and landed just one SoT.

Daniel James in comparison registered 20 penalty box touches, eight SiB and five SoT and comes in at over 2m cheaper than the Frenchman. With so many other FPL assets doing the business at a cheaper price, the Frenchman is presently a poor pick.
