Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Nottingham Forest assets are on our differentials radar in Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

All three of the players have an ownership of 5% or lower.


YEREMY PINO

­­­FPL Gameweek 5 differentials: Simons, Pino + Cash 4

  • FPL ownership: 0.2%
  • Price: £5.8m
  • GW14-18 fixtures: bur | ful | MCI | lee | TOT

A three-match ban for Moises Caicedo (£6.0m) and an ankle injury for Ismaila Sarr (£6.7m) has led many Fantasy managers to seek out a new midfielder this week.

Yeremy Pino (£5.8m) is perhaps someone we should not overlook.

The Spaniard found the net against Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 12, and with Sarr potentially unavailable until January, his playing time now appears to be even more secure.

Joint-second among Palace players for shots taken over the last three Gameweeks, with five, Pino fares even better when it comes to chances created, having provided eight of those, the most of any teammate.

All of that, coupled with a share of set-piece duties, raises hope that he can become a viable budget option.

Pino is available at just £5.8m, and on Wednesday faces a Burnley side that have conceded 12 goals in their last five matches. The Clarets have also allowed 18 big chances over that period, the most of any side.

It’s also important to note that Pino’s nine through balls in the Premier League in 2025/26 is bettered only by Bryan Mbeumo (£8.6m) and Bruno Guimaraes (£6.6m):

This quality could be particularly useful against Burnley: Mikkel Damsgaard (£5.8m) put three Brentford players through on goal on Saturday alone.

Pino currently sits in just 0.2% of Fantasy squads, with his trip to Burnley the ideal fixture to flourish as a differential.


JORGEN STRAND LARSEN

FPL pre-season: New £4.5m West Ham left-back Diouf shines

  • FPL ownership: £6.3m
  • Price: 1.1%
  • GW14-18 fixtures: NFO | MUN | ars | BRE | liv

While he has failed to produce an attacking return in his previous four matches, we feel that Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen (£6.3m) shouldn’t be written off.

In the match against Aston Villa on Sunday, the Norwegian managed only one shot, but he was unfortunate to have a goal disallowed.

He also had an opportunity when Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (£5.2m) slid the ball across the penalty box, only for Pau Torres (£4.3m) to intervene just in time, preventing Strand Larsen from finding the net.

Perhaps most significantly, however, is the following quote:

“Personally, for myself as well, I feel better at the moment and it’s probably the first time I’ve been feeling fresh since my injury.” – Jorgen Strand Larsen

It was a much stronger team performance from Wolves at Villa Park, too.

“For long spells we looked a good team and matched them in many aspects. We showed spirit and fight and looked good with the ball. I thought we created good moments and I don’t know how we haven’t scored. I’m disappointed with the result but happy with the performance.

“The difference in performance from last week to this one is vast. It has been a positive week of training and the lads are on board with what we want to do. We just have to work hard and if we keep playing like that then I can see us hopefully turning some momentum our way.” – Rob Edwards

Nottingham Forest have shown improvement under Sean Dyche; however, they have still conceded in four of his five league matches in charge. They also arrive at Molineux after suffering a 2-0 home loss to Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday.

Therefore, for those seeking an affordable forward, Strand Larsen could provide value, not just in Gameweek 14 but also in the upcoming home encounters with Manchester United and Brentford.


 ELLIOT ANDERSON

FPL notes: Anderson adds penalty to DefCon 2

  • FPL ownership: 4.0%
  • Price: £5.3m
  • GW14-18 fixtures: wol | eve | TOT | ful | MCI

Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson (£5.3m) provides all-round appeal in FPL.

The England international ranks among the top 15 midfielders for shots and key passes combined, with a total of 38 in 2025/26.

And at the other end of the pitch, he’s picked up defensive contribution (DefCon) points in eight of his 13 starts, just falling short in the other five matches:

Above: Elliot Anderson’s total defensive contributions (Tot) sorted by Gameweek

One of his biggest plus points, however, is his security of starts/minutes.

Anderson has started and finished all 13 Premier League matches this season, which minimises the risk of rotation in the busy festive period.

It suggests Anderson can be a reliable set-and-forget option throughout December.

Forest’s fixtures are a bit of a mixed bag, but they do face Wolves, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham over the next four Gameweeks.

Notably, Anderson’s next two opponents rank in the bottom four for key passes conceded from the centre zone, which suggests the corner-taking midfielders’ line-breaking passes could be an effective source of points.

    2. Kingy109
      • 5 Years

      I'd sell Senesi over Tark so you have a better bench than just Rodon?
      Or Stach to Anderson affordable?

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nah, must be better upside moves elsewhere.

      1. Manani
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 18 days ago

        otherwise will be Sarr > Anderson and bench Thiago/Kudus

        (and also free up some fund for upgrade elsewhere next week)

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 months, 18 days ago

  10. chaser123
    • 8 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    1) Ndiaye > Anderson
    2) Ndiaye > KDH (with funds for Semenyo > Foden next week)

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      1 assuming is your 8th attacker

      1. chaser123
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 18 days ago

        I also have Guiu

        Squad is:
        Raya Dubravka
        VVD Andersen Keane Senesi Rodon
        Saka Bruno Semenyo Ndiaye Enzo
        Haaland Mateta Guiu

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 months, 18 days ago

          Anderson for sure

  11. rozzo
    • 13 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Anybody thought of switching to a 352 after afcon?

    Elliott Anderson has 1 less point than Mateta, would be a decent 5th attacker.

    Something like this when everyone is fit

    Roefs Dubravka
    Gabriel Timber Munoz Senesi VDV
    Palmer Saka Mbeumo Dango Anderson
    Haaland Thiago Kroupi

    I can afford that exactly.

    1. rozzo
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      5th mid even

  12. Skout
    • 7 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Is Cunha likely to start

  13. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Just for this week, who is best, Minteh or Anderson?

    1. The Night Trunker.
      • 3 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      I'd play the Dyche Bag because peeps have not quite cottoned on to the fact Villa have morphed from Accrington Stanley to Real Madrid in a quick step.

  14. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Got James and planning to either bench/sell as it looks like he'll be rested again.

    A) Start Truffert (EVE)
    B) James > O'Reilly (ful) to bench Truffert

  15. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Reijnders + Sarr —> Anderson + Foden?

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      I’ve just got rid of Semenyo and Caceido for those Two…

  16. Drafting Away
    • 16 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Romero or Porro for remainder of season? Draft style I have to pick from these two options yes I know

    1. Kingy109
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      Romero more nailed?

  17. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Help please. Had a few 50/50 décisions going against me and struggling to decide this one. Play

    A truffert
    B Richards

    Cheers and gl

    1. Captain Mal
      • 2 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      Richards should be clearly better this week, but there's a rotation risk. I think I'd start him and hope he doesn't come on if he's benched.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        8 months, 18 days ago

        Cheers

  18. Nas
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Form vs fixtures? Start-
    A) Thiago v Arsenal
    B) ndiaye v Bournemouth

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

  19. adstomko
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    If I bought Senesi at 4.5m, and he's going down in price, I won't lose 0.1m.
    He'll stay at 4.7m in my team. Is that correct?

    1. Kingy109
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      Yup

  20. DBry
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Saka and Semenyo to Rice and Timber? 2ft

    1. DBry
      8 months, 18 days ago

      My mistake Saka and Semenyo to Rice and Timber?

      1. DBry
        8 months, 18 days ago

        lol Senesi !!

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 18 days ago

          Rice didn't look good tbh. He may become price tisk soon.

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            8 months, 18 days ago

            Risk 😉

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Senesi and Semenyo to Rice and Timber is fine by me 😉

    2. The Night Trunker.
      • 3 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      OK, I'm on holiday under a rock.
      What's up with Saka?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 18 days ago

        He was doubled by the opponent and Eze scored a hattie?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 18 days ago

          So nothing

  21. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Anyone brave enough not to captain haaland ? I am very tempted by Bruno as playing last game of gw 🙂

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      Not me. Haaland can be stopped by manpower like Saka, butcthen likes of Eze or Foden will haul.

    2. The Night Trunker.
      • 3 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      Done Sarr > Bruno(c).
      Feels right.

    3. Dynamic Duos

      Saka(c)

      1. Gazwaz80

        I’ve gone Boomo…

  22. D_R_S_PORT_S
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Who would you play :
    A) Cash(bha)
    B) Thiago (Ars)

  23. Pornchef
    • 2 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    1 ft

    Pope to Alison? Dubravak back up keeper

    A. Yes
    B. No

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      No. I'd wait to see if he was just dropped for one week. Dubravka's fixture isn't terrible. Also, Liverpool defense seems...risky

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      B

  24. FPL Sanky

    Bench one

    B) Thiago (ARS A)

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      Probably KDH for me.

    1. Dthinger

      tough choice for me between Minteh, who I have, and Neto

    Greetings to all
    Would appreciate your help to play two this week and any reasons why?

    A) Thiago (Vs Arsenal)
    B) Recce James (Vs Leeds)
    C) O’Reily (Vs Fulham)

    Thk you

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      C and D

      Arsenal is pretty strong defensively, and James will be rested to avoid injury (unless Maresca is stupid)

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

    Whom would you back to get more points this week?

    A. Thiago (ars)
    B. Bruno G (TOT) -4

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 18 days ago

        really? You think he's likely to score a goal to overcome the hit?

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 months, 18 days ago

          Probs get an assist, defcon and maybe cs/bonus

    3. SligoRovers1928

      A

  28. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 18 days ago

    My team is below. Would you bench one of the defenders so Thiago can start? Or no?

    Sanchez
    Richards Timber Chalobah VVD
    Doku Saka Minteh Mbeumo
    Haaland Mateta

    Dubz Thiago Xhaka Esteve

    (I suppose I could bench boost, but I don't really want to)

    1. Pornchef
      • 2 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      Id want to start Thiago but a difficult choice who you bench

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 18 days ago

        Maybe I could bench Doku? He doesnt get a ton of returns and could get rotated

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      Nah

    3. SligoRovers1928
      • 1 Year
      8 months, 18 days ago

      Nah, that looks good

  29. SligoRovers1928
    • 1 Year
    8 months, 18 days ago

    Which to do for a minus four this week
    Murphy and thiaw
    Chalobah and pino
    Thiaw and pino

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 18 days ago

      None of those options

      1. SligoRovers1928
        • 1 Year
        8 months, 18 days ago

        These were what I was thinking as more punts, instead of going boring ie lacroix and anderson

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 months, 18 days ago

          I'd try and punt on Munoz/Foden/Gakpo

          1. SligoRovers1928
            • 1 Year
            8 months, 18 days ago

            Have Munoz already, can’t get to Foden or gakpo without taking out Bruno/boomo and I have 2 red flags to deal with

          2. The FPL Units
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 months, 18 days ago

            Having said that I did Caicedo & Sarr to BrunoG & Anderson (was considering Rice & Gakpo) for a hit.

            1. The Night Trunker.

              Rice and Gakpo will kill it because that's how it works.

                This is the way

      who would you be selling? Unless they are both for sure getting zero points, I doubt any of these are worth the hit

        Caicedo and senesi, both suspended and bench cover is Andersen, mukiele and thiago

          Couldn't you just replace Senesi with Chalobah and play Thiago?

            or replace Caicedo...there are several 6mil mids worth looking at

    Which is the best combination to get for Senesi and Sarr?

    Defender
    A) Richards
    B) O'Reilly

    Midfielder
    1) Mbeumo
    2) Minteh
    3) Foden
    4) Gakpo

      O'reilly and Foden are certainly in form, but it is December, so Pep roulette could hurt you.

      Mbeumo still seems like a good bet, and Richards is good value.
