Fantasy football tips: Best Premier League players of the season so far – Alexandre Lacazette
- Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has been in whirlwind form in front of goal
Fantasy football is very much back on the menu with the Premier League returning after our brief and surprisingly enjoyable fling with the international break.
And over the next couple of days Dream Team are going to profile and praise the best players on show so far this season.
Fantasy football tips: Why you need Alexandre Lacazette in your team
Even the most deluded Arsenal fan will probably accept Lacazette was a bit of a disappointment last season considering his pedigree at Lyon before that.
But after the #WengerOut brigade were granted their dying wish in the summer, the Frenchman has found a new lease of life under Unai Emery.
Looking razor sharp and forging a bristling bromance with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Lacazette has proved a Dream Team dynamo in the opening months of the season.
The 27-year-old has racked up 58 fantasy football points - a total bettered by only four players - and is already over a third of the way to overtaking his score from 2017/18.
Heavily involved
He has five goals and three assists in all competitions so far despite starting just five of Arsenal's eight Premier League games.
Lacazette also averages a goal involvement (goal or assist) every 69.5 minutes.

Fixture friendliness
Arsenal are flying after nine wins on the spin and their upcoming fixtures suggest that record could be extended.
They have Leicester on Monday night, followed by Crystal Palace and Blackpool inbetween two clashes with Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League.
