Spot the Differential – Gameweek 36

As always on a Saturday morning, we scour the market for some overlooked options as the minutes tick down on another Gameweek’s deadline. All of our trio have left it late in the season but are finally starting to fulfil expectations and play a key part in their respective sides’ fortunes.

Lukas Podolski

In his first start of the season back in Gameweek 2, the Arsenal forward was quick off the mark and grabbed a two-goal haul and maximum bonus points in a 3-1 win over Fulham. Podolski’s campaign was immediately brought to an abrupt halt with a hamstring injury sustained against Fenerbahce in late August, however, and he failed to feature again until mid-December – climbing off the bench to bag a goal and assist against West Ham.

Having flitted in and out of the Gunners’ first XI over the subsequent few months, he finally seems to have nailed down a regular role, and with a security of starts boosting his match sharpness, the German international has finally flourished. Five goals and two assists in the last five Gameweeks, with a brace in each of his last two appearances, is indicative of Podolski’s current form – despite a role on the left of the attacking midfield three, he has still racked up the returns and looks a key figure in Arsenal’s push for a fourth-place finish.

Available for 7.9 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), 8.7 in the Sky Sports game and 4.0 in the Sun Dream Team, he now welcomes Newcastle and West Brom to the Emirates, and with a final day trip to Norwich also on the Gunners’ agenda, Podolski looks poised to continue his fine recent showings.

Marko Arnautovic

A somewhat enigmatic figure, the Austrian struggled to adjust to his new surrounds after arriving at Stoke last summer. With the Potters in a period of transition under new manager Mark Hughes, Arnautovic managed just a goal and two assists in his first five months in the English top-flight and showed little of the talents that persuaded the likes of Inter to shell out for his services in seasons gone by.

As Hughes’ tactics finally clicked, Arnautovic stepped up and has since become a crucial member of a side that has tasted defeat just twice in the last 12 matches and has comfortably secured their survival for yet another season. With two goals, three assists and five bonus points in his last six, the Austrian is now up to eight assists for the season and, as we witnessed in last week’s draw at Cardiff, is also now on spot-kick duties for the Staffordshire outfit.

Available for just 5.1 in FPL, 4.9 in the Sky Sports game and 2.0 in the Sun Dream Team, Arnautovic now welcomes Spurs and Fulham to the Britannia – where Stoke have already beaten the likes of United, Chelsea and Arsenal – whilst a trip to neighbours West Brom on the final day of the season affords further reason for optimism, bearing in mind the Baggies have conceded three times in each of their last three at the Hawthorns.

Fabio Borini

Just two Gameweeks ago, Sunderland seemed dead and buried, but thanks to a couple of gritty away displays, Gus Poyet’s great escape looks very much on the cards. A draw at City was followed by an incredible victory at Chelsea, where Borini grabbed a vital spot-kick winner as the Black Cats moved to within three points of safety.

Whilst Connor Wickham may have been a little more prolific over the past fortnight, the Italian’s underlying statistics have been far more impressive and suggest he could be the cannier acquisition for those eyeing up the Wearsiders for the run-in.

Poyet’s side have three home games still to play and, crucially, all are against relegation rivals. Cardiff, West Brom and Swansea have yet to make their way to the Stadium of Light, and with a double Gameweek 37 trip to Old Trafford also thrown in, Sunderland’s recent exploits suggest they have the momentum on side to secure their survival. If the Wearsiders are to retain their palce in the Premier League for another season, Borini – priced at 6.2 in FPL, 7.5 in the Sky Sports game and 2.0 in the Sun Dream Team – will surely have a part to play.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      I've gone for Ramsey but only because he plays on Monday. I have Rooney too but I think both of them will score about the same. Norwich are poor but at least they have still got something to play for.

      Newcastle gave up long ago and have been mailing it in since the Hull game. Arsenal should get medieval on the Mags.

        Some good points you made there, but does it really matter who plays later? I mean it might be worth the wait, but waiting till Monday night is an awful lot of time especially if you think Roo will do well

        Needed to do it to be able to afford Ramsey and Aguero who I consider to both be essential for the last 3 GW's.

        Did Cahill to Koscielny, Hart to Gazzaniga (already have Mannone so Hart really was an expensive waste), Snodgrass to Ramsey and Lukaku to Aguero.

        Figured I'm not going to win my league so may as well at least go for players I wanted. Plus Aguero will be £13m by this time next week and his price was prohibitive enough for me now as it is, let alone next week!

      Do it.

      Salah isn't realistically going to do anything for your team whereas Yaya will.

      You're probably going to take a hit next week anyway even if you have 2 ft so saving it seems pointless to me.

      I've been down that road with Aguero the last 2 GW'S and saved transfers instead of getting him straight away. I could and should have got him when he was £12m. Got him last night at cost of £12.6m and still had to take hits to do it.

      Having 2 FT sounds great to brag about on here but its rarely worth it if it means you delay getting productive players who will rise in value whilst keeping duds.

          Why bloody ask then?

          Plus why now do one unproductive player to another? AJ has a DGW next week and plays Cardiff today in a must win game. I'd fancy my chances of getting points from AJ more than Salah or Janus.

    So the vast majority is captaining Rooney. The only fear I have is that he might be played OOP in midfield to accomodate Welbeck up front

        Think about it though.

        Rooney has 4 games including the next 3 at home and all against relegation threatened teams and a Hull side with all eyes on the FA Cup final. He's going to be back up top as lone striker and is on pens. He also is a baps magnet when Utd win.

        Lukaku has 2 tricky away fixtures next up, isn't on pens or set pieces, is wildly inconsistent and not a baps magnet.

        You do the math.

    My two cents on the matter:
    Giggs as a player manager and one that is quite close with many of he players as he has been there a good while will cater to the veterans of the team more in his first match, There will be a sense of trepidation for him and he wont want make to many risky decisions especially against a side he knows his team should beat so he will play all the veteran players such as Rio, Vidic, Rooney, etc... Not only will he play Rooney though, I think he will also give Rooney license to position himself wherever he may please on the pitch which we all know will be up top as the lone striker or perhaps adjacent to Welbeck and Giggs will do this simply because it is his first match at the helm and he will try to please everyone.
