We’re only five weeks into the new Premier League season, yet already a template is emerging for Fantasy Premier League teams.

Seemingly everyone has Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Sergio Aguero (or both), while most sides are littered with players from Arsenal, Chelsea and the Manchester clubs.

Guardiola’s Manchester City will expect to comfortably beat Swansea City and rack up the goals, but a lot of the other top sides face trickier fixtures.

With Chelsea and Arsenal facing each other and United having a potentially difficult clash against champions Leicester City, the chances of FPL’s most popular picks scoring highly are greatly reduced.

As a result, some of the big point scorers this weekend are likely to come from more obscure sources - namely those sides a little further down the league table.

Football FanCast looks at three differentials to get in your team for Gameweek 6 and hel you move up your mini-leagues.

CHARLIE AUSTIN

 

Currently the most in-form Southampton player, Charlie Austin with be licking his lips at the prospect of facing a West Ham side in dire straits.

Austin followed up a brace in the Europa League against Sparta Prague with goals against Swansea in the league and Palace in the League Cup.

There have been question marks over Austin’s game time this season, with the former-QPR man only starting one Premier League fixture thus far. Austin was substituted on 57 minutes in midweek however, and therefore should start this week. His stock is boosted by being first in line for penalty kicks.

ISLAM SLIMANI

 

Islam Slimani announced himself with a bang on his debut against Burnley.

The powerful Algerian scored twice in a 3-0 win, picking up maximum bonus points to deliver a monster 13-point haul.

At the start of the season, a fixture against a Mourinho-led Manchester United wouldn’t inspire much confidence. But with the Red Devils conceding three against Watford and failing to shut out League One Northampton on Wednesday, Slimani and Leicester will be fancying their chances.

ANDRE GRAY

 

After scoring only once in the opening five gameweeks, the Burnley striker now sits in just 7.8% of fantasy teams.

But after finding the net 23 times in 41 games in the Championship last season, Gray has shown he knows where the net is. The former Brentford man may well get his chances against a Watford side expected to attack from the kick off.
