LEI vs NEW Dream11 Grand League Picks for Captains & Vice-Captains:

Yoshinori Muto: The Japanese international has featured from the bench in the opening two league games and is in line to change it here.

The 27-year-old is more than just a back-up to Joelinton, is talented enough to make his own spot in this team.

Strength:

• Pace
• Direct runs
• Short passing
• Likes to take shots from the edge of the Box

Demarai Gray: He is incredibly talented, but his progress has been static in the last year or so, for some reasons unknown. But with Brendan Rodgers at the helm now, the 23-year-old may feel could regain his lost touch. Regardless, Gray is definitely a danger on any given day.

Last season:

• Games: 34
• Goals: 04
• Assists: 01

Strength:

• Pace
• Dribbling
• Finesse shots

James Maddison: It’s been some time that we saw a natural and a technically gifted player in England’s midfield. The 22-year-old’s stock is rising with every game with bigger clubs circling around Leicester for his signature. If he plays, he can be the difference here.

• Games: 36
• Goals: 07
