a quick bit of arithmetic finds him on course for a 300+ point season after a sample size of 15 games.

He's not going away, sure Leicester have had a lot of easy fixtures, but they will continue to play open attacking football no matter who they face.

Personally I don't think he'll reach 300, but you'd be mad not to think he can certainly reach 200+

Hazard got 233 last year Mahrez on 119 already

114 more needed in 22 games to equal needs to keep average around 5 a game.

I am glad to see people returning to this thread. I should have added a time limit to this poll, it's original results are being distorted by people voting now. :lol:

I think Ronaldo did, or at least came very close. Mahrez is posting Ronaldo-esk scores at the moment.

My 200 or more seems like the best bet I made this season.

That's why we should look at our written predictions:

No reason for bragging though, because it seems I have enormously underrated him :lol:

If only he plays a full season, then it's not a question about over or under 200, it's a question about over or under 300.

At first glance Mahrez or Vardy or Ighalo look like anomalies in what has been a game of safe gambling on premium players for the previous years.
We should begin to discuss something else though. A lot has been said about how the TV money could affect the balance between the bigger and smaller teams and 15 gameweeks are too much of a small sample to draw solid conclusions, but maybe it's no coincidence.
Maybe we'll see more often players from smaller teams challenging for top spots in the FPL ladder, something that would definitely change the dynamic of the game as we know it. It could even force the FPL towers to review their pricing policy for next season.
I think there's a lot of food for thought here and that's a discussion that requires a thread of it's own. I could make a decent opening post later or maybe someone would be interested in doing it...

This. But now, not when it was posted. :wink:

Leicester's fixtures in the next 11 GWs include Chelsea (home), City (twice), Liverpool (twice) and Everton, Spurs, Arsenal (away). I'd be surprised to see them get more than 2 or 3 wins out of those 8 games and it is quite possible that the wheels will come off very badly.

I have seriously considered losing Mahrez (never had Vardy) but as I bought at 5.5 and he has penalties he seems such good value that I think he's worth keeping, I don't need massive performance from a player in that price bracket.

It's a good idea.

The big uplift in PL TV money this season means that the team that finishes 20th and is relegated will receive as much as Chelsea earned last season as champions (about £100m). That puts better players in reach at “lesser” clubs – Shaquiri at Stoke, Payet at West Ham, Wijnaldum at Newcastle, Cabaye at Palace… With players like that it's not so much transfer fees that have been the barrier in the past but wages.

TV money has also enabled a team like Everton to refuse £40m for Stones, something they could never have done even a couple of seasons ago. Even the CL income of the top 4 teams becomes (relatively) less significant. As a result the quality gap is becoming smaller than it has ever been I think.

I also believe that the ‘unusual’ and somewhat unpredictable nature of this season may be here to stay – that ‘normal service’ may actually not be resumed. I am starting to think that for FPL you should aim to get good in-form players and trust them, irrespective of fixtures. Last weekend I removed Glenn Johnson for Alderweireld for a hit. I just couldn’t see a Stoke clean sheet against City. But they got one.

If the nature of the PL has changed then I guess FPL strategy will need to be adjusted accordingly. :?

Has anyone else noticed Butland's history of scores is starting to look similar to Mahrez's? :lol:

Maybe Jack needs his own thread? :shock:

Whilst I agree with this, especially on one-off games (which is why I stuck with my 3 forwards and didn't get Kane in this week), I still think there is value in going after players who have a run of 'favourable' fixtures (but again I would need evidence of form first).

The Kane example is probably a good one, loads of people bought him in and captained him on the back of 2x1 pointers just because they were playing Newcastle. The fact that Newcastle had beaten Liverpool was largely ignored. Mind you, I bought in Aldi, so I can talk!

I had Kane for some decent weeks and intend to keep him long-term.

What has been killing me recently is no Butland and no Ighalo/Vardy. The Butland thing is lucky for those that have had him, Stoke couldn't buy a clean sheet last season. But it will turn again soon and another GK will start to rack up points. I hope it's Myhill because I am sticking with him.

The Ighalo thing has turned out to be a mistake for me because I had him and removed him for Aguero. I thought it was a pragmatic move (and it was) but I hadn't counted on Ighalo's continuing FPL returns being so good.

I need an angle to give my team an edge right now but am struggling to find one. :(

I had planned to get Kane in 3 or 4 weeks ago when he had some form and an attractive run of fixtures, but other issues came up with my team, plus I couldn't decide who to transfer out so I never got him in.

I couldn't decide between Butland and DDG when I wildcarded back in about week 7. DDG seemed like the safer option and has done OK but in retrospect it feels like a mistake.

I've had three good weeks largely off the back of Ighalo and Lukaku but that won't last - need to find that edge as well. In retrospect bringing Silva rather than Ramsey might prove to be a mistake.

He now has 132 points with today's bonus points included.

He is still on his way to 300.

I just wonder, what is the all-time record for player's FPL points in one season?

In all honesty, yes. Marvellous player, points galore in FPL but my problem (and no disrespect intended), I just expect the Leicester railwagon to derail virtually every week and Mahrez to suffer in kind. This sort of mentality is hindering some fantastic returns....
