Welcome back to another Fantasy Premier League Tips article. Unfortunately there is some bad news for you all � the international break is back meaning Gameweek 8 is the last set of fixtures until the 17th of October.
We've put together a list of differential players for you to consider going into this weekends fixtures, please enjoy.
Erik Lamela 6.8 (1.0% Ownership) The Argentine had a very, stop-start career through his first two seasons in England. After his £25 million move to White Hart Lane he struggled to adapt to English football. We did though see some moments of brilliance from him during the Europa League most notably that audacious rabona goal. This season Lamela really seems to have got his head screwed on and has started to put in some impressive performances, his 86 minutes against Manchester City last weekend were probably his best since his move. If he can keep up his form expect to see his price and ownership rise. Glenn Murray 5.6m (0.2% Ownership) Unfortunately for Bournemouth, their first choice striker Callum Wilson is expected the be out for up to six months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in the 2-1 loss against Bournemouth. Although a horrible injury it does pave the way for summer signing Murray to show his worth to Eddie Howe. Last season Murray seemed to go through a resurgence. After initially being pushed out the side and loaned out to Reading the forward was recalled into the side by Alan Pardew. He then went on the score seven goals and assisting five, he brings a threat in the air whilst he is also capable with the ball at his feet. Dwight Gayle 5.1m (0.4% Ownership) There is a similar situation at Murray's old club Crystal Palace. Connor Wickham is out injured until the 17th of October leaving Patrick Bamford, Fraizer Campbell and Dwight Gayle as the three strikers Pardew has at his disposal. It seems that Bamford is going to struggle to get game time at Palace and that Gayle is preferred ahead of Campbell. The former Peterborough man played 84 minutes in the 1-0 win over Watford and came close to scoring a few times. This weekend may be one of his last chances to prove his worth to Pardew, an opportunity Gayle will take with both hands. Theo Walcott 8.5m (3.4% Ownership) Recently Walcott has been granted his eternal wish � playing as a striker. In fairness to the Arsenal man he's been repaying Arsene Wenger's faith in him. Walcott has scored 16 goals in his last 20 starts in all club competitions. Whatever you think about the midfielder come forward that is a fantastic return. His pace allows him to get in behind slower defenders, which may come in handy against Daley Blind this weekend. At this moment in time it seems Walcott is ahead of Oliver Giroud in the pecking order and the Englishman who be hoping to continue his form this weekend and earn a place in Roy Hodgson's England squad. Kyle Walker 5.0m (1.3% Ownership) There seems to be a divide over Kyle Walker. Some fans believe he isn't up to scratch whilst others believe he offers something to the Spurs' side. Whatever you believe, it's hard to deny he's been putting in some impressive performances of late. He brings an attacking threat to the Spurs' side and his pace allows him to cause problems down the right hand side for Spurs. Mauricio Pochettino seems to have sorted out the defensive issues aligned with Spurs which should see Walker gain FPL points for clean sheets.
