Fantasy Football 2016 Tips: 10 Gambles For Game Week 2

9. Riyad Mahrez (Leicester)

Riyad Mahrez caught the attention of pundits and fans alike during Leicester's first season back in the top flight, and he's started this season in hot form after two goals in goal-fest 4-2 victory over Sunderland. The 24-year-old midfielder will be hoping to gather momentum early on in the season, and the Foxes' road trip to West Ham will offer him that platform. A lot depends on which team turns up for both sides. Leicester's top form team from the opening weekend, or the one that saw them crumble to the bottom of the league last season, and for the Hammers, will the Arsenal-beating side show up, or the bunch that crashed out of the Europa League. Mahrez is a gamble, but at 5.6m he could be a steal.
