Big Man Bakar’s Best FPL Gameweek 5 Differentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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

Dominic Solanke (Ownership: 7.0%, Price: \u00a37.5m)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For those planning a Wildcard in Gameweek 6 or looking for a short-term replacement for Isak, Solanke, owned by just 7%, is an exciting differential to own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not long ago, Solanke was a very popular pick in the FPL<\/a> community. <\/span>An injury put rest to his early season\u2019s exploits, but now he\u2019s back on the grass again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spurs have a good run of fixtures coming up \u2013 including a favourable home fixture against Brentford this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solanke\u2019s only started two games so far but it\u2019s encouraging to see that he\u2019s played 90 minutes in both and put up decent underlying data in the time he\u2019s been on the pitch. <\/span>I believe there is an outside chance that he is on penalties as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to UK bookmakers<\/a>, he is only behind Salah and Haaland to score anytime this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dominic Calvert Lewin (Ownership: 3.1%, Price: \u00a35.9m)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If budget constraints are an issue, then Calvert Lewin is probably the next best alternative to Solanke.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those looking to find funds for Saka to Salah funded by a Isak downgrade, he fits the bill perfectly. <\/span>Calvert Lewin\u2019s fitness has always been the main concern but as long as he remains fit, the fixtures are good enough to justify his selection. <\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s only behind two other forwards for goal involvements this season and also has the security of penalties in his locker when he\u2019s on the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leicester City, Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Ipswich Town, Fulham and Southampton \u2013 that\u2019s Everton\u2019s fixture list for the next six weeks. Points are there for the taking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jamie Vardy (Ownership: 8.8%, Price: \u00a35.7m)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I\u2019ve opted for a trio of forwards in my piece this week \u2013 with Vardy completing the selection.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had my reservations regarding his minutes at the start of the season but his performances so far have been good enough for him to keep his place in the short term.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given his price and fixtures, he is viable to own \u2013 especially for those looking to own him as an eighth attacker. The entry point this week is great as well \u2013 as Everton are one of the worst teams for xG conceded so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Calvert Lewin, Vardy is also on penalties. He\u2019s slightly cheaper than Calvert Lewin though, and is easier to get to if funds are an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n
