Leading FPL tipster Big Man Bakar is back with his top three Fantasy Premier League differentials for your teams ahead of Gameweek 9.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the context of this article, a \u2018differential\u2019 is considered to be a player owned by roughly 15% or less of FPL<\/a> managers.<\/p>\n

Big Man Bakar’s Top Three FPL Differentials For Gameweek 9<\/h2>\n

1) Dominic Calvert Lewin (Ownership: 5.9%, Price: \u00a36.0m)<\/h3>\n

It’s tough to back Calvert-Lewin after his recent string of blanks but the upcoming fixtures are good enough for me to recommend keeping the faith.<\/p>\n

He accumulated an xG of 1.3 without registering a return last weekend, making him the biggest underperformer in Gameweek 8.<\/p>\n

Fulham and Ipswich Town in the immediate term are good enough fixtures for owners to keep.<\/p>\n

The Cottagers will be without the suspended Joachim Andersen, and there are also doubts over the availability of Sasa Lukic.<\/p>\n

This is where I’d finally back Calvert-Lewin to break his duck.<\/p>\n

2) Dominic Solanke (Ownership: 13.3%, Price: \u00a37.7m)<\/h3>\n

Solanke is another one a lot of people are looking to sell this week.<\/p>\n

He’s one I’d definitely keep – with the news of Son’s potential absence, he could even be on penalties.<\/p>\n

Yes, the numbers in the last 2 Premier League<\/a> fixtures have been poor – where he has accumulated just 0.08 xG across two games but overall this season, his numbers still make for healthy reading for owners.<\/p>\n

Before the last two fixtures, he was averaging close to 0.8 xG per 90, so I’d rather trust the larger sample size and back the Tottenham man to return.<\/p>\n

Spurs are scheduled to face Palace, Aston Villa, and Ipswich in the next three Gameweeks, so the fixtures are still good.<\/p>\n

They are first in the league for xG this season, so I’d back their attackers to excel.<\/p>\n

3) Bruno Fernandes (Ownership: 6.7%, Price: \u00a38.2m)<\/h3>\n

For those looking at a Luis Diaz replacement this week, Bruno Fernandes is your man.<\/p>\n

Although this notion may seem crazy on paper, it actually has merit.<\/p>\n

As an owner, Fernandes has really tested my patience with just 21 points from eight starts, but his underlying stats indicate he\u2019s been unlucky.<\/p>\n

His non-penalty expected returns are at 3.43, which is much higher than his two assists. United\u2019s poor finishing hasn\u2019t helped either, with seven goals from an xG of 12.4.<\/p>\n

Bruno, however, is nailed in the lineup and has set-piece and penalty responsibilities.<\/p>\n

With favorable fixtures against West Ham, Chelsea, Leicester, Ipswich, and Everton in the next five Gameweeks, he may turn things around.<\/p>\n
