Pick players who play Leicester. Their record over the last 15 games reads as follows: LLLLLLLWLLLLLLL.<\/p>\n<p>During that time, I\u2019ve enjoyed hauls from Marmoush, Bruno, Bowen, Mbeumo and Wissa to name a few. While Southampton and Ipswich came back from the international break showing some signs of life, Leicester still look devoid of any purpose.<\/p>\n<p>While Isak is yellow flagged after coming off early against Brentford, my guess is that Isak will either be fit and start, or be left out of the squad if he\u2019s not fit.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, you could play it safe and captain Salah against Fulham instead. Craven Cottage isn\u2019t exactly a fortress. I mean, it\u2019s literally a cottage.<\/p>\n<p>But as I\u2019ll reveal a little later, I don\u2019t think Salah is even the best Egyptian attacker this week. Isak (c) for me.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top Picks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nick Pope (\u00a34.9m) and Livramento (\u00a34.5m)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fixture: Leicester (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No team in English top-flight history has ever gone eight matches in a row without a goal. No team in Football League history has ever lost eight in a row without scoring. Until now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jacob Murphy (\u00a35m)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fixture: Leicester (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is it cheating to just pick Newcastle players? Probably. But in Jacob Murphy you\u2019ve got a midfielder who is basically free in FPL terms, has started every single game since GW14 and scored a brace the last time these 2 teams met.<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention that Leicester have lost 7 in a row, conceding 18 goals in the process? Don\u2019t overthink this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Marmoush (\u00a37.5m)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fixture: Man United (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of potential vice captains in case Isak is out, my vice captain will be Omar Marmoush, away at Man United. The Egyptian has adapted quickly to life in England, scoring 5 goals in 5 league starts.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Man United have 2 clean sheets in 17 games and have won just once in 2025 against a team not in the bottom 3. They aren\u2019t about to make it 3 cleans in 18 \u2013 not while Marmoush is around.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading the article in this new series for Sportscasting.
