It's absolutely bewildering that more Fantasy managers haven't transferred Kelechi Iheanacho into their team yet. The Nigerian striker has been selected by just 2.6% of FPL players thus far, and while only a marginal figure at Manchester City last season, all signs point towards a strong campaign at Leicester City.

Iheanacho gave City tremendous returns when selected. In 16-17, he bagged four goals and 3 assists in 5 starts and 15 sub appearances. The year prior, he had 8 goals from 7 starts and 19 games from the bench. HLe scored or assisted a goal every 77 minutes, making him one of the most effective players in the league, with only Gabriel Jesus and Olivier Giroud bettering his per-minute totals.

He benefited from playing with City's outrageous array of attacking midfield talent, but he was never going to be the lead man there. This should change at Leicester, where he can be assured of a spot in the XI, and will likely score a boatload of goals.
