Spot the Differential

Appealing fixtures could finally unlock Pépé potential

At this early stage of the season, differential options continue to prove their importance to Fantasy Premier League managers.

10 of the 13 highest scorers in Gameweek 5 had ownership of 10% or less, which shows us that there are some still gems flying under the radar or simply being overlooked.

Son Heung-min (£9.6m) did us proud with a brace against Crystal Palace to become the latest differential to graduate from the 5% or below club.

Here are three more under that ownership threshold worth considering for Gameweek 6.

Nicolas Pépé

Pépé became the first player to dribble past van Dijk this season

Price: £9.4m

Ownership: 3.6%

GW6 Opponent: Aston Villa (home)

Nicolas Pépé (£9.4m) may not have hit the ground running since joining Arsenal as their record signing, but he has certainly shown some potential.

Starting from the bench in the first two games of 2019/20, and facing two of last season’s top four was always going to be a difficult start.

However, we know Pépé is a player who possesses quality and it’s only a matter of time before he delivers a match-winning performance. 

During the last four Gameweeks, for players priced at £9.5m or below, the midfielder is top for final third touches (130) and ranks best for successful take-ons (19) too. 

This indicates that he’s certainly been doing the right things on the pitch and in some ways may have been unlucky not to pick up more attacking Fantasy returns.

I think that could change on Sunday. Of course, Aston Villa kept clean sheets in both their last two matches but these were both at Villa Park.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have won two in a row now, and there was an assist for Pépé on Thursday night, so this could be the perfect opportunity for him to make his mark.

Neal Maupay

Neal Maupay already has two goals Premier League goals to his name ahead of a trip to Newcastle

Price: £6.0m

Ownership: 0.6% 

GW6 Opponent: Newcastle United (away)

Despite only scoring two league goals in their last four games it’s clear that Brighton’s style has taken a more attacking return under Graham Potter. 

Of course, it takes time to transition from one manager to another and it may be why some of Brighton’s results so far have been inconsistent. 

But an early stand out player for them is their newest signing, Neal Maupay (£6.0m).

Starting from the bench he scored a goal on his debut as Brighton overran Watford in Gameweek 1. Since then Maypay has gradually played more minutes, helped by Florin Andone and Jurgen Locadia’s departures, which culminated with him adding another goal to his tally last weekend.

For forwards priced at £6.0m or less, he has registered the most number of goal attempts (10) which is all the more remarkable when considering that he’s only played 273 minutes of football from a maximum of 450. 

It almost feels like he’s a bandwagon waiting to happen. Brighton’s match against Newcastle this weekend could help expose Maupay to the masses.

It would be unfair of us to expect him to score a hat-trick against the Magpies like Pukki, but both players scored over 20 goals in the Championship last season. 

Maupay should get a fourth consecutive start this weekend and if he does he should be more than capable of causing havoc to Newcastle United’s fragile backline.

Emi Buendía 

Buendía has snuck under the Fantasy radar so far this season

Price: £6.0m

Ownership: 1.5% 

GW6 Opponent: Burnley (away)

If you’ve scanned over some of the emerging template teams that have come to fore you would have almost certainly seen Teemu Pukki and Todd Cantwell in most of them. 

But there’s another Norwich City player that needs to be recognised from a Fantasy football perspective and that’s midfielder Emi Buendía (£6.0m).

It’s surprising to think that his percentage ownership has yet to hit double digits. After all, he has quietly amassed four assists in his first five games. 

Also of note, it’s very rare for another Argentinian to score more FPL points than Sergio Aguero in the same match and that’s exactly what he did in Gameweek 5. This is no mean feat. 

Buendia’s attacking involvement has been far from understated in Norwich’s opening matches. 

For midfielders priced at £6.0m or less, he is ranked third for final third touches and first for overall touches in the opponent’s half. 

His lack of goals may be a slight cause for concern, especially compared to Cantwell. But does that even matter if he can be a regular provider of goals for his colleagues? 

The Canaries next game is against Burnley who have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four matches.

    Gave in an WC'ed. Think I'm happy, but can't decide between:
    A) Aurier + AMN
    B) Dunk + Matip

    What do you think? Thank you 🙂

    Rest of team is ... pretty template:

    Pope | Button
    Aurier | Rico | AMN | Lundstram | Tomori
    Mane | Sterline | KDB | Hayden | Cantwell
    Aguero | Pukki | Abraham

    SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 6

    GW5 results will be posted later today but given today's kick off - I thought I'd open us up here! Look out later for GW5 results, I'll place a link on here later 🙂

    ****** WHAT IS IT? ******

    For those of you who haven't been around or aren't aware, every evening prior to the start of the gameweek FFS releases their picks of players for the gameweek, "Scout Picks", as well as 3 differentials before the first games to separate yourself from the crowd.

    This is your way to have a bit of fun and challenge those scout picks with a set of your own (read instructions below). This will always open the day before the gameweek starts around 8pm, and whilst you don't have to play weekly, the more you play the better chance you have of winning!

    ****** INSTRUCTIONS ******

    Everyone can have their own scout picks (there is no limit on team value) but with one simple rule,

    YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE PLAYER FROM EACH TEAM
    (yes, two of your players at least will be on opposing teams).

    You can only have ONE submission, and your FIRST submission will be what is accepted. You also must respond DIRECTLY to this post (not to a reply on this post). FFS Scout Picks are automatically enrolled. Teams must comply with FPL formation rules and be submitted in an easy to read format, e.g.

    GK
    DEF DEF DEF
    MID MID MID MID
    FOR FOR FOR

    Deadline for this gameweek is Friday 20 September at 19:00 BST.

    ****** SCORING ******

    Regardless of number of applicants, scoring will be done by the following:

    1st place: 3 points
    Top 4% of the population will rank "second" and score 2 points.
    Top 10% of the population will rank "third" and score 1 point.

    There is also a bonus point which everyone is eligible for. If you score higher than FFS' Scout Picks AND Substitutes (i.e. 14 players), you will be awarded with a bonus point regardless of whether you were in the top 10% scoring positions or not.

    Welcome to the game, and good luck.

    ***** THE STANDINGS *****

    Your top three as it stands:

    1st - Pingissimus (6pts)
    2nd - No Kane No Gain (5pts)
    3rd - Wolfsburger (4pts)

          He wrote this last week and I have no clue. There is only a reply option. So he is saying just write your selection as a new post in this article and it gets lost amongst 5,000 other comments?

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            It’s fairly simple if you read

            You reply to his original post and not to a post by me for instance on this thread. Reply to original post and not to a reply on the thread.

            You’re fairly to see the very very obvious.

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Wow ok why would I reply to your post with my selection? It’s not obvious what he meant he just worded something weirdly for no apparent reason.

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                And he actually wrote “not a reply on this post” so it doesn’t even make sense. I suggest you re read

                1. have you seen cyan
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Oh my bad but that is just confusing if you think I’m the only person confused by what I meant then look at last week when thirty people also asked

                    I’ll change the wording for more clarity, the reason this text was added was because people kept making chain threads instead of a direct response.

    I have 2 FT on 0.0 on the bank, no idea what to do with them this week?

    Pope (4.0)
    VVD Matip Digne Zinchenko (Hanley)
    Salah (S)terling KDB Mount (Cantwell)
    Pukki Haller (Greenwood)

      I'm in the same position and currently considering Zinchenko -> Otamendi.

  8. andres

    Who will score more,

    A Auba
    B Haller + 4

    1. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Auba and captain him

      1. andres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Also have aguero and sterling in the team 🙂

    any necessities on a WC?

    1. gilean
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lundstram... Seriously though. There are many ways to Rome

  10. Genji3lade
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on Maitland-Niles?

    Aware Bellerin is back in training.

    Any chance given his recent assists he can keep his place in the team -even if only for the next 4-5 GWs?

    Would love to take a chance on him given his fixtures - on my WC so have the bench in place to handle him getting dropped.

    1. Crump
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I forgot about Bell. Suddenly I don't like my WC as much.

      1. Genji3lade
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        yeh he's in my WC team currently too - think i know deep down I will have to replace him before the deadline though

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Considering the same.

    3. andres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I would take that risk. He has a nice fixture already this weekend.

    4. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not keen on him at all. Better options around that price, IMO.

      1. Crump
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Who do you have in mind?

        1. avfc82

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Aurier if you have a deep enough bench, Soyuncu if you can leave him out GW8, Burnley defence if you don't own Pope.

  11. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Am I g2g? Currently saving the FT. £1.2 ITB. Start Lundstram ahead of Mings?

    Pope
    TAA/Digne/Otamendi/Lundstram
    Salah/Sterling(C)/KDB/Cantwell
    Pukki/Barnes

    Button/*Mount*/Mings/Greenwood

    1. Crump
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd start Lund ahead of Mings.

  12. dshv
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    So, no Mount in my starting 11 this week ???

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Play him and get your bench in order

  13. Kun Tozser
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Best replacement for Duffy?

    Aurier
    Tomori

    Other?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Dr Crane

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        As in Niles

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Tempting but Arsenal defence

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            True. Attacking returns though. And green fixtures, if Bellerin is still out for som bit.

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Aurier.

    3. Stef rocks
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Aurier does look tempting to me too

  14. How I met your Mata

    Fraser likely to start again this week?

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years

      Would expect so.

  15. Schwarzer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Who would you rather have?

    A) McGinn (ars BUR nor BHA)

    Who s dropping Razza to bring in kun

    I fear a sterling benching and a kun explosion will be kind of game over. Even this early I don't want a mountain to climb

    1. swobe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Was the first thing I did in my WC. Top of my ML has KDB and Kun, was an easy move.

      1. swobe
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        but I don't doubt Sterling over the long term..

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm keeping the faith with Sterling.

    3. Crump
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kun > Sterling atm, but that can change this weekend.

    4. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Me, purely for capt reasons but I think Sterling will start. Just that slight doubt putting me off capping him. That plus he has looked a bit laboured last two games

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It is mainly for captain reasons too mate.. otherwise it's a coin flip but looking at the upcoming games I really don't wanna be without Kun. Sterling looked a bit shot vs Norwich but still was unlucky.

  18. The_Fish

    Last Wildcard Decisions...

    Pope 4.0
    TAA Digne Soy Lund RICO
    Salah Sterling KDB Cantwell 4.5
    WILSON Abraham Pukki

    Pope 4.0
    TAA Digne Soy Lund OTAMENDI
    Salah Sterling KDB Cantwell MOUNT
    GREENWOOD Abraham Pukki

    I'm thinking it's safer to spread the risk and go single Chelsea and Wilson for some excellent fixtures and great form?

  19. Old Gregg
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you downgrade out of these?. It will probably be to Lowton.

    a) Coleman
    b) Zinc
    c) VVD

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B - Mendy is looming

      Would also happily lose A too

  20. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What's your thoughts on Mane captain over sterling and kdb?

    Liverpool and Chelsea defences are poor and I've got a feeling it'll be a high scoring game.

    I think Sterling will start with Man city being 5 points behind and preston midweek where he will get a rest.

      I'm captaining Salah this week. 2 days extra rest and the Chelsea backline is awful.

    2. Aubamewho

      I've got Salah and Sterling. Sterling is my cap. If it helps

      Me. Had him since GW1 and feel its the right decsion

  23. diesel001

    Newcastle v Brighton. Poor game for a Saturday night.

    But Newcastle draw a decent TV crowd so you can see why Sky are choosing it.

  24. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Considering Sterling might be dropped who is better vice:

    Salah or KDB?

    1. Aubamewho
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go with Salah

    1. FPL_Crisis

      Chelsea are not that good
      Pick one of Tammy or Mount
      Maybe Lanzini or spurs mid

  28. Reacher
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Seen a few going Zinchenko to Otomendi are we expecting Zinc to be rested this GW?

    1. Baked baines
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I’m doing this move. Pocket the 0.1 and not have to worry about otamendi being cropped few a few months whilst Zinc will always have doubt with Mendy or a formation change.

    2. Crump
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Think it's bc Mendy is on the horizon

  29. BigDaveSaves
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I think Zinchenko is probably the best City defender to own this week. Mendy is highly unlikely to start after playing 8 minutes midweek and Pep repeatedly saying he needs to bring him in slowly. This probably means Zinchenko gets subbed within 60-80 minutes and if City concede he’s still guaranteed the clean sheet. Saying that it’s Pep and he could start Shaun Goater LB.

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Hmm, Otamendi surely a better option - nailed to start, plus a bit of goal threat even if they concede.

  30. lekalatch

    Pope
    Montoya* TAA Zinhcenko

    Button; Soyuncu Lundstram Wickham

    1FT 0.1ITB

    A) Kane --> Auba

    D) Save

      Looking at doing A myself
