Not many players can use their speed in such a frightening way

Liverpool winger Sadio Mane has been one of the most impactful players in the league till now. The Senegalese player has been one of the driving forces behind the Red’s assault and they clearly struggled when he was away from the team due to the AFCON. Despite missing out on almost three fixtures, the player has been among the top five midfielders in the FPL and his owners have received great returns. Mane’s stock is rising fast and it is important to get him while we still can.

Another option for this week’s captaincy role, Mane will be playing against Leicester City who have been shambolic, to say the least. The Foxes have been in a downward spiral for quite some time and Liverpool could hit them hard with their blistering attack. Leicester have conceded 13 goals in their last five Premier League fixtures.

Next 3 fixtures: Leicester(A), Arsenal(H), Burnley(H)
