PLAYER COMPARISONS – IS HE BETTER THAN? (Premier League CAMs)

Winter Wildcard Jadon Sancho – 337k

• I would choose Mahrez for the CAM role due to his better dribbling and skill moves

RATINGS

VERDICT

Mahrez is a very good card and a lot of fun to use, he has great dribbling and passing so makes for a good CAM and throw in his 5* skills he becomes a great addition to the squad.

I initially felt his price point was a bit high but when looking at alternatives with what he offers I would say it is priced pretty well actually.

If you have some fodder and can fit him in on chem he is worth giving a shot, it’s a SPEND from me.
