FPL Show: Back Aubameyang for big return

Fantasy Premier League

Fantasy experts Sam and Lee Bonfield say Arsenal striker can be a high-impact differential captain as he makes comeback against one of his favourite opponents

Managers in Fantasy Premier League can steal a march on their rivals by bringing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.7m) back into their squad and immediately giving him the armband.

That's according to experts Sam and Lee Bonfield from FPL Family.

Aubameyang's ownership has dropped to 14.6 per cent while he has served a three-match suspension.

But the Arsenal striker is available for Sunday's trip to Burnley and has scored seven goals in his four matches against the Clarets.

"He's a differential captain pick, purely for the fact that a lot of people don't own him any more because he's just come in off that suspension," said Sam in the latest episode of the FPL Show.

"So, if you've got him then I think he's a great option this week as a captain."

Aubameyang's appeal is boosted by the fact that five of his following six matches score only two in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR).

"You're not just getting him in for Burnley as a potential captain choice, he could be over the next few weeks as well," added Lee.
