Fantasy Premier League 2018-19: Differentials to consider for Gameweek 5

#1 Alexandre Lacazette - Arsenal (£9.4m)

Cardiff City v Arsenal FC - Premier League

Only 3.2% of FPL managers have the French striker in their teams for GW5 - a low percentage considering how good Lacazette can be. However, it is understandable considering the fact that he only started his first game of the season against Cardiff City in GW4.

Against the Welsh side, Lacazette scored 12 points by scoring a goal and an eye-catching assist. That added to his assist as a substitute in the 3-1 home win over West Ham United in GW3.

Despite playing just 186 minutes, the Frenchman’s underlying statistics catch the eye. No Arsenal player has more shots his totals of six shots inside the penalty area - with five of those shots being on target.

Lacazette's performance against Cardiff should be enough to see him start two consecutive games under new coach Unai Emery.

Arsenal plays a Newcastle side who have a poor defensive record this season. The Magpies have managed just one clean sheet this season. And their 11 big chances conceded will leave Lacazette smiling.
