GW8 Scout Selection: Away form can aid Alonso

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m) can continue his fine run of Fantasy Premier League form in Gameweek 8.

The Frenchman has climbed to fourth in the FPL forward standings on 36 points.

Lacazette has been a consistent pick up front, producing a goal or an assist in five successive Gameweeks.

And he looks set to be handed a fifth straight Premier League start as Arsenal visit Fulham on Sunday.

Aubameyang doubt

His team-mate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m) will be assessed ahead of the Craven Cottage encounter after missing the UEFA Europa League match with Qarabag with illness on Thursday evening.

With less competition up front, Lacazette can profit against the Fulham defence.

Fulham frailties

Slavisa Jokanovic's men are one of only two sides yet to keep a clean sheet.

Lacazette has claimed 17 points from his two away starts, yet is owned by only eight per cent of squads.

Such form can even make him a major differential option for the captaincy in Gameweek 8.
