Fantasy Premier League 2017/18: 5 differential picks for gameweek 17

#1 Anthony Martial - Midfielder - Manchester United (£8.0)

Anthony Martial (right) has proved English tabloids wrong with his performances for Manchester United

When Manchester United splurged £36 million on an unknown twenty-year-old Frenchman from Monaco, many tabloids ostensibly labelled him a 'waste of money'. He turned out to be one of their best players in the 2015/16 season.

This season, he started off as a super sub, scoring almost every time he came on. His laudable performances as a substitute earned him a place in the starting eleven. He has started all of Manchester United's last five games in the league, and has found the back of the net twice and assisted once in these starts.

United's songwriters have rightly penned a chant on the successful youngster. It goes:

"Tony Martial Came from France,

English press said he had no chance,

50 million down the drain,

As Tony Martial scores again!"

Now a regular starter, Martial could give some good returns in Manchester United's upcoming run of good fixtures.

It'll only be at the fag end of January that they play a top six team again. With an ownership of just 3.4%, Martial could be a good investment for your FPL teams, just as he has been a good investment for the Red Devils.
