With the second Fantasy Premier League Wildcard available, The Scout reviews the top targets to consider for the chip.
Alexandre Lacazette (ARS) £10.3m
Arsenal's summer signing can flourish as an FPL option over the second half of the campaign.
The Gunners play only three of last season's top six sides from now until Gameweek 38 and their next four opponents only score two in the Fixture Difficulty Rankings (FDR).
Arsenal's next four Gameweeks
| GW | Opponent | FDR |
|---|---|---|
| 23 | BOU (A) | 2 |
| 24 | CRY (H) | 2 |
| 25 | SWA (A) | 2 |
| 26 | EVE (H) | 2 |
That schedule can give Lacazette the opportunity to prove his worth, having already struck eight goals from 19 starts.
The Frenchman is very much a penalty-area predator.
Harry Kane (£12.9m) is the only FPL forward to have had more touches in the opposition's box than Lacazette (145 v 139).
Meanwhile, 43 of his 50 shots have been from inside the penalty area, a ratio of 86%, which is the highest of any player with 40 shots or more.
Lacazette is part of just under 500,000 (8.9%) of FPL squads.
But if Arsenal can exploit their kind fixtures and keep feeding Lacazette with opportunities, we will see him emerge as an even stronger force in 2018.
