Selection

Differential Spurs option presents excellent opportunity

While the Fantasy Premier League masses work out how to stockpile Manchester City midfielders, we’ve also been looking for some under the radar options.

Ahead of the Gameweek 14 deadline, we’ve picked out three options all owned by less than 5% of Fantasy managers who can propel you up the rankings.

We’ve been looking at Spurs as well as some budget options elsewhere…

Son Heung-min

Price: £8.3m

Ownership: 1.7%

An impressive performance for Son Heung-min (£8.3m) in Spurs’ 3-1 win over Chelsea in Gameweek 13 has put him back on our Fantasy radars.

We think that he could continue his form into the north London derby this weekend and act as an incredible differential with just 1.7% ownership.

That display at Wembley will almost certainly allow Son to hold onto his place, with Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura both starting against Inter Milan midweek.

If Son reverts to his usual position on the right at Arsenal, having played up front with Kane at the weekend, he should have a field day.

We recently discovered that Arsenal are defensively weakest down their left flank this season, which could leave the door open for a Son masterclass.

Even if the South Korean plays as a centre-forward again then he should still enjoy his Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium. No side has given up more big chances in home matches this season than Unai Emery’s Arsenal, not even Burnley.

Steve Mounié

Price: £5.8m

Ownership: 0.2%

There is something awfully specific about why Huddersfield striker Steve Mounié (£5.8m) looks set to enjoy a fruitful Gameweek 14.

His upcoming opponents Brighton and Hove Albion, who visit the John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday, currently rank second-worst for headed attempts conceded in away games this season.

Meanwhile, Mounié is the second-best for headed attempts among forwards in 2018/19, giving him the perfect Fantasy match-up this weekend.

While the Benin international has been known for his profligacy during his time in the Premier League, he has been pretty accurate of late too.

In the last four Gameweeks, only Harry Kane, Alvaro Morata, Mohamed Salah and Anthony Martial have had more shots on target than Mounié.

He has started the last three matches in a row, with Huddersfield picking up seven points from a possible nine in that time. For that reason, he should retain his place amid competition from Laurent Depoitre, currently an injury doubt.

Andros Townsend

Price: £5.7m)

Ownership: 1.1%

Crystal Palace may be short on goals right now but they should get over that problem when they face Burnley this weekend.

13 Gameweeks into the season and no side has overtaken the Clarets for number of shots conceded, either in total or in the box.

That makes them the perfect opponents for Palace this weekend.

While Wilfried Zaha remains the popular Eagles option (14% ownership), there is every chance that Andros Townsend (£5.7m) could also benefit at Selhurst Park.

He has actually been outperforming Zaha for underlying statistics in the last four Gameweeks. The Englishman is ahead on both total shots, and shots on target. In fact he has five accurate efforts in that time compared to Zaha’s zero.

Furthermore, Townsend is just one created chance behind his Ivorian colleague, giving him the potential for a spread of points for a much cheaper price.

      I wouldn't sell Salah for a hit this week, esp as Spurs at Arsenal.

        I’m a LFC-Supporter, so i’ve Watched Every Match(all comps.) so far this season; and I’ve had Salah since gw1...
        and it sucks, but something just isn’t clicking w/ our Offense (yet)!! We’re still winning, so all good irl; & i Love it!
        ...but not in FPL. not for 13mil. and not for 1 or 2-nil,
        During the PSG Match, I decided that the best move right now, is to drop Salah, at least until he earns a (c) spot in the squad
        I can honestly see 1-0 & 2-1 Scores coming in the next block of Fixtures!

          I think it would work for you then. Great you can get away with only using one so you will have two next game wk. If you can continue to use just one at a time really good. Having two every week could be gold. Injuries are bound to happen this time of year with so many games. Could get you out of trouble for no hits while others are losing points from hits to right their ship.

    My team for this GW only comprises 6 PL teams:

    - Wolves (Doherty and Jimenez)
    - West Ham (Fabianski and Arnautovic)
    - Man City (Laporte and Sterling)
    - Liverpool (TAA and Salah)
    - Chelsea (Alonso and Hazard)
    - Palace (Wan-Bissaka)

    High level of concentration risk, but don't really fancy Richarlison, Wilson or Hjobjerg (all benched) to do well.

    My usual Weekly Press conference summary for you guys:

    Chelsea: Victor Moses out. Hazard injury is not serious- but he can't play 10 matches in 29/30 days says Sarri. Sometimes he has to rest. Giroud brace doesnt effect Sarri's choice of who starts he says. No mention of Hazard last night in Sarri's press conference.

    Man city- '' We have a training session in 2 hours and will have to see about Jesus Bilva and Gundo- I don't know right now" KDB not ready yet- but soon.
    Guardiola on if he will freshen his team " maybe.. yeh because it was a tough game and after this game again we have Watford in 3 days- Everyone deserves to play and they will play". Jesus is much much better say the Docs- and of course he is going to play a lot of minutes as lots of games in this period. Mendy out.

    Brighton- Glenn Murray says he has trained all week and felt everything is fine and that he is ok. Dale Stephens suspended. Jahabanskh injured.

    Cardiff- Without going into too much detail Warnock says they have a few niggling injuries.

    Spurs- Poch comes out and says with the 12 games in 40 days there is nobody apart from maybe the Gk that can play all the games. Spurs- Lamela (thigh) to be assessed ahead of game. Tripper in final stages of rehabilitation. Wanyama, Dembele, Sanchez out.

    West Ham- Arnie fit to play and has trained all week. Pellegrini says " it is impossible for zabaleta at his age to play all games for sure". Fredricks remains out. Carroll and Wilshere both played 45 mins vs Brentford and have trained with the team all week.

    Burnely- Gudmonsen back in contention. Ben gibson and Tark played behind closed doors on tuesday- so we will have to wait and see.

    Wolves- Apart from Johnny all fit.

    Southampton- Ings out. Bertrand not trained last 2 days- so will have to wait and see as he remains a doubt.

    Arsenal- Lacca to be assessed ahead of the game- but feeling positive. Leicsteiner back in training. Kos played 45 mins for the under 23's mid week. Monreal ruled out.

    Huddersfield- If Zanka is fit he will play. For now he looks sharp and good. Lowe out. Depoitre has a groin problem. Kongolo a doubt at the minute.

    Watford- Holebas has recovered from his injury. Penaranda out. Janmatt and Cleverly have trained with the squad all week- but maybe require another week to be back to their best.

    Manchester United- Sanchez ruled out for a few weeks. Lindelof ruled out.

    B'mouth- Lerma supsended. Gosling a doubt. Adamn Smith ruled out.

    Liverpool- '' not 100% sure of the squad situation as of now- Wednesday- Sunday should be enough time to recover everyone. Henderson Suspended.

    Palace- No new injuries other than Benteke. Dann and Wickham have both trained this week.

    Fulham- Anguissa and Mcdonald ruled out.

    Everton- No new injuries to report for now.

    Newcastle- Dummet out. Lejeune, Lascelles, Muto, Shelvey- all trained with the squad this week. Nearly all players available now for Newcastle.

    Leicester- Maguire ruled out. Vardy set to start. Maddison available after serving suspension in the cup. Amartey, Ghezzal and James out.

    Hope this helps.. not sure about you guys but i m more confused after all this... Best of luck this game week.
    Cheers G
