Our Gameweek 24 differentials column brings a trio of low-owned Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets for your consideration.


ISMAILA SARR

Why FPL Gameweek 17 could be a 'blank' for four clubs 3

  • FPL ownership: 2.0%
  • Price: £6.3m
  • GW24-28 fixtures: nfo | bha | BUR | WOL | mun

Now down to only £6.3m in FPL, Ismaila Sarr could be worth a roll of the dice, with Crystal Palace set to embark on one of the best mid-term schedules:

In his first match back since the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Sarr failed to score or provide an assist; however, he racked up two Opta-defined ‘big chances’ against Chelsea, as well as creating one for team-mate Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.5m).

And with some tempting fixtures on the way, particularly in Gameweeks 24-27, Sarr could be a quality differential option.

Crucially, Gameweek 24 opponents Nottingham Forest have been conceding key passes (15) down their left side over the last four matches, the third-most of any team, which suggests the pace and power of Sarr and Daniel Munoz (£5.8m) could cause further damage.

Above: Nottingham Forest’s chances created conceded heatmap (last four Gameweeks)

Indeed, Sarr has already found the net against Forest in 2025/26, notably from a Munoz cross. He nearly won a penalty in the same match, too.

With Palace in desperate need of a win to help steer them clear of the relegation zone, the onus will clearly be on Sarr, who is owned by only 2.0% of Fantasy managers, to provide the attacking impetus and a much-needed lift at the City Ground.


YERSON MOSQUERA

FPL Gameweek 24 differentials: 3 low-owned picks to consider

  • FPL ownership: 0.1%
  • Price: £4.3m
  • GW24-28 fixtures: BOU | CHE | nfo | cry | AVL

Yerson Mosquera (£4.3m) could be worth a look as a cheap defender.

The Colombian centre-back has impressed in Rob Edwards’ 3-5-2 formation recently, banking defensive contribution (DefCon) points in five of his last seven starts.

He’s also racked up 10 shots over the last five Gameweeks (including five in one match against Manchester City), the joint-most of any FPL defender.

Above: Yerson Mosquera’s shot map in Gameweeks 19-23

Notably, five of those goal attempts have arrived from corners and free-kicks, a potentially important factor with Bournemouth up next.

Indeed, no team has conceded more goals from dead-ball situations than the Cherries in 2025/26:

However, it is important to mention that Mosquera is fond of a yellow card, with eight bookings in his last 11 matches.

Discussing his recent impact, Edwards said:

“I think he’s great. He’s fully committed and he plays with passion. It’s just who he is. We’ve got to try and control it. We need 11 people on the pitch and we don’t want him getting booked every week, but he’s someone that’s got great athleticism. You can move him to a right-back position. He can go up against someone like Doku and cope with him, and not many can do that. So, he’s very important to us.

“I know it’s hard when people look at the table, and they’ll sort of think, ‘well, they’re rubbish’, but I don’t think we are. Hopefully we’re showing that as well, and we’re trying to improve week on week. The players are working really hard and we’ve got to keep doing that.” – Rob Edwards on Yerson Mosquera

At just £4.3m and with a potential Double Gameweek 26, Mosquera could offer value, particularly having kept clean sheets in each of his last two Molineux encounters against West Ham United and Newcastle United.


KIERNAN DEWSBURY-HALL

Who is close to a ban or suspended in FPL Gameweek 6?

  • FPL ownership: 2.1%
  • Price: £4.9m
  • GW24-28 fixtures: bha | ful | BOU | MUN | new

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£4.9m) returned from injury in Everton’s 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Monday, and is now firmly back on the FPL radar.

The budget midfielder was in superb form before succumbing to injury, with five attacking returns (three goals, two assists) in as many matches.

In that period (Gameweeks 11-15), he averaged 8.2 points per start.

Everton travel to out-of-form Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.

David Moyes’ team have a solid record on the road, too, having won four, drawn one and lost one of their last six away matches.

Brighton, meanwhile, have managed just one win in their last 10 Premier League encounters, a period (Gameweeks 14-23) in which they’ve conceded 17.14 expected goals (xG), the third most of any team.

“This is a mad league this year. We want to be in the European spots and we have got a lot of important games. We are playing a lot of teams that we have played and beaten. It is down to us now, and it is on us. If we want to achieve something we have to show it.” – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Dewsbury-Hall is currently owned by only 2.1% of Fantasy managers, but there is no question that this will quickly rise should he deliver on the south coast.

Everton also have favourable upcoming fixtures against Fulham (a), Bournemouth (h) and Burnley (h), so Dewsbury-Hall could be a really useful asset for those seeking to free up funds.

    How is this WC team looking?

    Sanchez (Dubravka)
    Gabriel | Timber | Chalobah (Mukiele,Senesi)
    BrunoF | Mbeumo | Rogers | Semenyo | Rice
    Haaland Thiago (Mane)

    A part of me wants to bring Palmer in but I am just too concerned about his fitness.

    I keep swaying back and forth between Rogers and Enzo.

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      3 hours, 24 mins ago

      Looks very good. I would avoid Palmer for the time being as he’s a minutes risk currently.

    2. Rednev1983
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 hours, 18 mins ago

      Really like it, not too disimilar to mine. I went Enzo over Semenyo. I didn't consider Palmer, can't fit him in really to my structure & also his fitness/minutes could be an issue.
      Thhere's not much in it between Rogers & Enzo for predicted points although Enzo has that possible double.

      1. marcus2704
        • 15 Years
        3 hours, 17 mins ago

        Thanks for the feedback, I will wait on Palmer.

        1. Rednev1983
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 hours, 12 mins ago

          Good luck. Obe more week of information & he could be gold.

    3. Ray85
      • 8 Years
      2 hours, 45 mins ago

      Pedro over Thiago

    4. azza76
      • 3 Years
      1 hour, 3 mins ago

      Snap. I have same Rogers vs Enzo issue. Gone with Enzo. Rest of my midfield on wildcard is the same

  2. The Iceman
    • 3 Years
    3 hours, 24 mins ago

    Is this BB worthy? Any real advantage of saving it for later?

    Kelleher | Wilson | Alderete | Cash

    1. Rednev1983
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 hours, 10 mins ago

      I wouldn't really. Brentford play Villa, Alderete is fine. Wilson obviously on form but MUFC have vastly improved & he's generally better at home.

  3. Viper
    • 15 Years
    3 hours, 15 mins ago

    Would you sell Miley or Anderson for Rice?

    They would primarily be my 8th attacker (0.9m in the difference)

    1. Rednev1983

      3 hours, 9 mins ago

  6. RealSocialDads

    3 hours, 10 mins ago

    Anyone else gone for Estevao? I'm very much behind so bit of a hail Mary!

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      2 hours, 59 mins ago

      Could work, he caught my eye start of season he might get to shine a bit now

  7. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    3 hours, 5 mins ago

    Few tricky decisions this week. I have Dorgu, Saka and Bruno G on the chopping block.

    I've only Esteve on the bench, so can pop him in vs Sunderland, which isn't too bad. But obviously need to sort Dorgu out soon.

    Otherwise I'd like Enzo in for those Chelsea fixtures... Saka or Bruno G out? Or Dorgu to Chelsea defender or Maguire?

    Saka, Fernandes, Rogers and Wilson are my current mids.

    So yeah, comes down to Saka/Bruno G to Enzo, or sort Dorgu out for Chalobah?

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      3 hours, 1 min ago

      Ok to make it easier...

      Sell Dorgu to Chalobah

      or

      Bruno G to Enzo and play Esteve for Dorgu

      1. Ray85
        • 8 Years

    1. Clintymints

      2 hours, 49 mins ago

      Yea don't see anything wrong with that

  11. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    2 hours, 55 mins ago

    Can only have 1 on wildcard?

    A) Thiago
    B) Joao Pedro

    1. Ray85
      • 8 Years

      B

    2. Rednev1983
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 hours, 41 mins ago

      Weighed it up on WC & went B. Possible benching this week or reduced minutes. going forward J.P is a good option.

  12. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    2 hours, 52 mins ago

    Already lost money on Saka and his potential replacements are going up tonight.

    Saka to?

    A. Mbuemo (own Bruno F)
    B. Rice
    C. Save FT

    1. Ray85
      • 8 Years

      B or C as they may have a DGW

  13. Ray85
    • 8 Years
    2 hours, 49 mins ago

    Is Thiago worth a move to Pedro/Evanilson?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 hours, 38 mins ago

      Nah

      1. Ray85
        • 8 Years
        2 hours, 34 mins ago

        Not even for the next 4 fixtures?

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 hours, 13 mins ago

          Have to decide if it is worth 2 transfers

    2. Rednev1983
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 hours, 36 mins ago

      Yes i believe so & have both although models predict Thiago outscoring both long term & short term. I feel he's not really firing & short term fixtures aren't great but i'll probably get him back at some point when fixtures turn for the better.

      1. Ray85
        • 8 Years
        2 hours, 34 mins ago

        Yeah I was thinking for a short term move and getting Thiago back when I wildcard in a few weeks. Who would you suggest?

        1. Rednev1983
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          1 hour, 49 mins ago

          Well after some consideration, I went J.Pedro although I may bench him this week. I think he's better in the short term & could possibly double. Others disagree so up to you. Like you said if Thiago starts firing again you can Wildcard him back in. Good luck on whatever descision you finally go with.

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 hours, 22 mins ago

      Nope

  14. Bleh
    • 9 Years
    2 hours, 47 mins ago

    Is this starting XI correct?

    Sanchez
    Gabriel, Timber, Mukiele
    Bruno F, Rice, Rogers, Wilson
    Haaland, Ekitike, Thiago

    (Dubravka, Senesi, Bruno G, Lacroix)

    1. Ray85
      • 8 Years
      2 hours, 44 mins ago

      I'd play Senesi over Thiago tbh

      • 4 Years
      2 hours, 35 mins ago

      Yes, for sure.

    Who's running the FF Fix predicted lineups? They seriously need to sort it, whether it's AI or human led as for the MUFC game they predict Dorgu as 96% starting yet for
    Bruno.F only a 74% chance of starting. Crazy.
