Three Gameweek 6 goalscorers have FPL differential potential

Once again the differentials stole the show as three players with an ownership of 3% or less ended up among the top six points-scorers for Gameweek 6.

This demonstrates that there’s more out there than having to plod along with the standard template team. Of note, Nicolas Pépé (£9.4m) did this column proud as he took and scored a penalty for Arsenal, thus ensuring that at least one of our differentials per week has delivered a Fantasy return since the opening weekend.

Can we continue the run? Here are three low-owned players to take into account for Gameweek 7:

Andriy Yarmolenko

Price: £5.9m
Ownership: 1.0%
GW7 opponent: Bournemouth (a)

There aren’t many midfielders priced at £6.0m or less that have the pedigree to score goals on a fairly regular basis and, going by the form book, it’s becoming hard to ignore Andriy Yarmolenko (£5.9m).

Had it not been for a serious injury last October, he would have been a mainstay in West Ham’s team during the last campaign. His international acumen is also very respectable, with 36 goals in 81 senior appearances for Ukraine. He’s scored two goals in his last three Premier League games and is the Hammers’ joint-second outfield FPL points-scorer, despite not playing at all during Gameweek 1.

Barring any injuries, Yarmolenko ought to be a regular starter. The fact that he has yet to play a full match since his return is a minor concern but also unsurprising as a way of him being managed accordingly.

He’s playing in an advanced role, as you would expect, with 83 of his 160 touches from the final third. West Ham are due to face Bournemouth this weekend, who have yet to keep any clean sheets. This should bode well for Yarmolenko as both he and Sebastien Haller (£7.4m) will look to exploit the vulnerabilities in the Cherries’ backline.

Chris Wood

Price: £6.2m
Ownership: 0.8%
Gameweek 7 opponent: Aston Villa (a)

Prior to last weekend, you would have been forgiven to think that Ashley Barnes (£6.6m) was the only striker leading the line for Burnley this season. After all, Chris Wood (£6.2m) had failed to register any attacking returns until his brace at Carrow Road.

Priced at £0.4m less than Barnes and with considerably lower ownership, Wood is an alternative option into Burnley’s attack.

Despite having 11 fewer shots on goal than Barnes this season, he boasts a better shooting accuracy than him (50% v 43%). Looking at last season, Wood only scored two fewer league goals than his strike partner and you would expect them to complement each other up top.

Like Barnes, Wood has started every league game this season so in theory shouldn’t be at risk of rotation. This is all the more apparent as Burnley don’t have any European commitments this season and were knocked out of the League Cup in August.

Between now and Gameweek 14, the Clarets have a generous fixture run during which they only face one team that finished in the top five last season. This could act as a platform for Wood to score more goals.

Of course, he’s never scored more than ten goals in a Premier League campaign but due to the reasons stated he can be a potential short-term option in the weeks ahead.

Wesley Moraes

Price: £6.0m
Ownership: 1.8%
GW7 opponent: Burnley (h)

Aston Villa were unlucky not to get a positive result against Arsenal having been 2-1 up until the final ten minutes of the match.

The Villans have so far scored six Premier League goals this season and that’s in no small part due to Wesley Moraes (£6.0m).

Among strikers priced at £6.0m or under, none have had more shots on target than him (seven) and he is joint-top in that bracket for goals scored (two) since Gameweek 1. Unless Aston Villa sign someone during the January transfer window, he should be their main striker until the end of the season – which also makes him a viable option.

Despite receiving ample support from the likes of Jack Grealish (£5.9m) and John McGinn (£5.7m), the concern so far for Villa has been their lack of goals scored, which has been costly and is partly why they currently are 18th in the table.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom. If they are going to score, Wesley will be possibly involved in some shape or form. They could very easily double their goals tally in their next three league games against Burnley, Norwich and Brighton.

This could serve as a potential platform for Wesley to become the next bandwagon if more of his shots on target can be converted into goals.

    Play Otamendi over Rico a no brainer?

      Yes

      Not a no brainer, Rico is a fantastic left back in a strong defensive Bournemouth

  5. CostaCoffee

    To everyone considering Azpi be aware that Reece James has returned from injury (got a goal and 2 assists in his first game back while looking strong defensively). Rotation is imminent

    1. Jon Snow
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't mind seeing Azpi moved to the left

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        True but I wouldn’t say Alonso has been any worse than Azpi to warrant the move

    2. Tokosbobet88
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      yes.. tomori is the way to go !!!

    3. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is there a chance he moves to the left to accomodate James or would lampard prefer Emerson/alonso?

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        While Emerson is out maybe but otherwise no I’d say. Emerson has been quality this season, Azpi has been underwhelming to say the least

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

      Is he better than Azpi? :0

      1. some witty pun
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        At RB or RWB, definitely yes. He performed so well at Wigan last season, they named him captain on the final day as farewell. He was 18

      2. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He’s never really been tested against top teams but potentially yes. Azpi has definitely declined in recent times and Frank will have no problem integrating Reece

    5. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Doubtful IMHO.

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Even if he doesn’t fully displace him rotation is almost guaranteed. Azpi has played almost every game for 3 years, we finally have adequate competition at RB. If Azpi keeps up his current poor form it’s very possible Reece becomes number 1 though, he’s arguably our most promising talent

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

          Rest/rotation - a game or minutes here or there - sure. Don't envision much else though. Promising young player though.

    6. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      james is nowhere near playing ahead of azpi

    7. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi should start no matter what, he is one of the most underrated player imo

    8. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I dont see Reece starting instead of Azpi. Most likely with. Azpi can play LB or CB too

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    With Martial news, play Greenwood & bench Cantwell 1st on bench?

    Pope
    Virgil, Otamendi, Trent
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Mount, Cantwell
    Pukki, Tammy

    Button, Lundstram, Montoya, Greenwood

    1. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That’s what I’m doing but I do have united bias plus want an fpl player in final game

    2. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Think ManU can score against Arsenal without Martial and Rashford? Could be execting to play him just to have someone playing in the monday game?

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

        Everyone can score against Arsenal.

  7. balint84
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Zinch to Otamendi is logical this week or wait?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If no other issue, then go for it

  8. Jared Dunn
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Play Greenwood (ARS) or Soyuncu (NEW)?

    Thanks

    1. Jon Snow
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Soy for me

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Soya

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Soyboy

    4. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Soyuncu best chance of a clean sheet this season

  9. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    If you have to drop one of Auba, Salah, Son, who would you drop? (Cash issue)

    I can fit all 3 but that would mean one of Rico/Diop/Tomori start every week

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      All 3 with Tomori sounds good

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks

    2. blizzle
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      all 3 and rotation seems good

    3. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Son

  10. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Good gw to have differential captain.

    Abraham(c). Anyone else here?

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tammy isn't really a differential captain this week

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He is imo

        1. Tshelby
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Top three captain picks this week will be Tammy, Salah, Sterling imo

      2. some witty pun
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not on this site, but against the entire population of FPL, definitely differential

        1. Tshelby
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Two weeks in a row most transferred in player. Has a great fixture think a lot of people will captain him.

    2. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      OR he should be differential since most will captain Salah

  11. Tokosbobet88
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    why are people shipping sterling!.. crazy.. he's one of their best and is sure to start this week against a not so good def... smh..

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Casuals...

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      people that are taking out Sterling are not thinking he will never score again...

    3. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed. The only player I would transfer him for is Son this GW

    4. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      For me it means being able to get Tammy over Barnes and leaves another 1m spare for another upgrade.

      I don’t like the idea of losing Sterling but it’s more combos of players that’s swaying me

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He was obviously start scoring again

      But I took him out because I was bored of looking at same team every week.

    6. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I can get KdB and Mount over Donkey.

      Easy.

      1. Tokosbobet88
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        well anyways.. FPL responsibly..

      2. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It's not that easy.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          it is if you have 2 Ft;s and exact funds

          Sterling/Donkey->KdB/Mount

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Cantwell and mcginn have a lovely fixtures so you can survive for 2/3 weeks then switch one of them.
            But those are also good moves so whatever you will do, you will keep your high rank hopefully.

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I just dint want to make the same mistake I might a couple of seasons ago when I did not buy Ramsey and Yaya because I was stubborn.

            2. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Problem is in 2-3 weeks KdB and Mount will prob cost 0.3m more between the 2 of them

    7. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      people love to play premium roulette for some reason

    8. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero for same price is better option.

      Im tempted to do Sterling Haller ---> Kun Maddison/Yarmo

    9. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Crazy it is imo

  12. Pranav Santhosh
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    People holding onto digne do you plan on getting rid any time soon? And would there be anything that happens in the city game that would prompt you to ditch ahead of the burnley game (excluding injury of course)

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He has to go. Team is a mess atm

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I wanted to get rid but decided to keep to bring Tammy and mount in for Barnes and James instead. Everton look poor defensively lost gueye, zouma and gbamin is injured. Best hope I have is that they bounce back and play up to the tough city fixture

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Would have prioritise those moves aswell. If lucky digne might get assist

          1. Pranav Santhosh
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah was very indecisive on bringing either alonso or tomori I’m so just went with the other moves for a -4. Not banking on any returns this week currently 2nd on my bench but I would feel pretty silly if I kept him for city and sold ahead of burnley so just wondering what other digne keepers are thinking/doing.
            Thanks!

    2. jimbo90
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, planning to get Otamendi next week

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Why didn’t you pull the trigger this week? Other fires to put out?

    3. Tokosbobet88
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      im going the tomori way!

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Love that move. After that performance against Salah I reckon he could be no.1 or 2 in the pecking order now

    4. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Benching. No one is really keeping clean sheets at the moment and a defender with his attacking output potential is worth keeping imo. And no City are an anomaly.

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I’d imagine outside of the Liverpool fullbacks he is posting the best attacking numbers of all defenders

  13. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    reckon I might use my 2 Ft's after all.

    1. S.Kuqi

      Care to share?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling/Donkey->KdB/Mount
        0.0 itb

        2 FT's

        0.2m swing potentially tonight

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          why lose sterling now?

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            to upgrade Donkey and have the option of benching Cantwell or Mcginn in future. I've been lucky last 5 weeks...wont continue with playing Cantwell & Mcginn every week.

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Also potentially 0.2m swing over the weekend with kdB rising and donkey dropping.

            2. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              you'll be wanting him back soon 🙁 I want him soon too. Fairy nuff as you have no KDB who is THE guy now. Benching cantwell is quite liberating when he's away

              1. Christina.
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                  Personally I prefer sterling as a long term option. If I was making the decision now for eg it’d be sterling over Kun

                    • 14 Years

                    same price. One on penalties and on form. Not sterling.

      Hey Christina. If you were on your WC this week, who would you consider to be essential picks? I’m currently at ~400k and obvs looking to climb the ranks. I’ve got value tied up in Mount and Pukki. Asking you because I like your bold strategy. Cheers!

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Auba
        Ota
        2 from Kun/Kdb/Sterling
        Mane over Salah
        TAA

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

          Cool, thnx 🙂 What are thoughts on Firmino rather than Salah or Mane (at least for the next few weeks)?

          Guess i’m looking for value and his returns p/million are better than either of the other two. Frees up some cash.

      2. Bojam
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Considering the following options maybe:

        Fabianski
        TAA; Otamendi; Aurier
        Salah; KDB; Dilva; Mount
        Firmino; Abraham; Pukki
        (Button; Yarmo; Rico; Lunds)

        Zero ITB.

        Pope
        TAA; Aurier; Diop/4.5m other
        Sterling; KDB; Son; Mount
        Firmino; Abraham; Pukki
        (Button; McGinn; Rico; Lunds)

        Zero ITB

        Would totally appreciate your thoughts 🙂

          You don't need 8 good forwards as you can only ever play 7, so you can probably afford the defense in first with attach in second

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

            Yeah that’s true but Pep roulette. Wanted Yarmo in case either KDB or Dilva got benched. Reckon he looks like a good option. But maybe there are cheaper alternatives like Cantwell (just don’t like the Norwich double up).

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Dilva is not an option. forget about him.

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                If you get him at the right time he is. You can guarantee maybe 2 games out of him right now

                1. Christina.
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  perhaps, but not on a WC.

              2. Bojam
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Three double digit hauls in six games so far. Too much of a rotation headache you think?

                1. Ask Yourself
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  I have him and have done for a couple weeks been lucky to get two starts. Timing is the key with any city player really. Two of him, Mahrez, Bilva, Foden and Gundogan get to play. When you think like that and see he’s a bit old he’s probably not the greatest for a long time. I am happy to keep for next 1 maybe 2 games depending on UCL minutes

        2. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mcginn is a waste in 2nd one. You will never play him. Same with Yarmo. Lose them for 4.5m or cantwell
          Dont like Aurier

          Mane over Salah
          Auba over Bobby F

    Potential back 5 for Chelsea this weekend?

    -James---Tomori-Christiansen-Azpilicueta---Alonso

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

      1. more likely to be a back 4
      2. christensen is injured
      3. azpi will stay rb

    2. some witty pun
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I dont think we play with a back 5 at home against Brighton.
      Azpi - Tomori - Christensen - Alonso.

      Reece unlikely to start after playing 90 last weekend and midweek

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

        oh is christensen not injured after all?

    3. jtreble

      Back 4 IMHO.

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

      back 3* Azpi RCB, could happen

  15. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    im really want son for his next 3 matches and the only way i can do so is with downgrading salah as i see salah becoming a home game player because he will be marked tightly when playing away----trying to be too smart ?

        4 years, 6 months ago

        Probably but I'm considering it too (although to upgrade Ayew)

      • Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Good move if you combine it with an upgrade with the extra money itb

        1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          yeah i can upgrade one of douglas or dendocker with them extra money

          1. Pranav Santhosh
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah I’d pull the trigger if your confident in captaining whoever else is in your side.

            1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

      • EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years

        I don’t remember any time before that i haven't a liverpool attacker... It will be annoying.

        1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          im using robertson and taa(will get soon) as my liverpool attacker until i wildcard after city game

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Noway i would play without liverpool attackers vs united leicester tottenham, those are really good fixtures for attackers.
            Keep salah.

              Leicester have been putting up really good defensive numbers. Agree with the other two though.

            2. Alonso The Great Midfielder
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              leicester yes but i dont know about united as im always thinking that united will do their best when playing liverpool at home no matter what happen to their team now

      • Wheyyyy
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure it's worth it this week? I suppose it could go either way though. Either could get a brace. Spurs haven't been too convincing as of late while Pool are guaranteed at least 2-3 goals

        1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          next 3 games for spurs just look a great games for spurs to gain momentum

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

            They've won 4 of their last 17 competitive games. I doubt this is about momentum or form

            There is a problem.

          • 5 Years

          Rico, though I expect him to get torn to shreds by Yarmalenko... and I'm not really expecting a third assist in a row from him.

        • Alonso The Great Midfielder
          • 12 Years

          I think Greenwood has the higher ceiling but unproven at this level and playing for a weak team with no creativity. Norwich are poor away from home and palace look solid at home

        I've had Maguire since the start and was planning on moving him on in this week's mini wildcard. I've only done the two FT's so far and was planning on moving him on to Azpi for a -4 tonight. Team as it stands below:

        Ryan
        VVD - Ota - Maguire
        McGinn - McNeil - KDB - Salah - Sterling
        Tammy - Pukki

        A - Hold Maguire
        B - Move him to Azpi (long term) -4

        1. Alonso The Great Midfielder

          hold for this week

            Poch is overthinking this. Just play your in-form players in their best positions:

            Lloris
            Aurier Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
            Ndombele Sissoko

                  Todd over Greenwood imo. But it looks good anyway

                  yeah looks good. I would play GW over Cantwell as well

                  Cantwell, Greenwood, Lundstram.

                  If Maddison is injured, is that good for Ayoze?

                    I would say yes since he played really well vs spurs

                  Heeeeyyyy

                  You're the one with the three-way defensive rotation, aye? I just noticed that Lascelles dropped to 4.4 😮

                    I am I wasted my money on Schar lol. i'm okay with it hopefully he pays of but Lascelles can do it too. No competition or rotation risk i'd go for it x

                      Thanks. I'm weighing Lascelles vs Guilbert and AVL is currently winning on all comparisons, but I'm now bolder about getting Guilbert for GW8 with Lascelles as an easy replacement if he loses his place

                        Guilbert has the biggest upside sure but it’s just he needs to keep his performances up and you are betting on that.

                    Wut.

                    No way. Tomori vs BHA is far better.

                      Until they pick up clean sheets, i cant agree

                        By the time they do you'll have missed the points. I don't understand why people are so insistent on having seen something before acting. The fixtures clear up, Chelsea have Kante back and conceded very few chances in open play vs Liverpool.

                          But still susceptible to set pieces. Some big boys at the back for Brighton

                          you're acting like Rico is a dud. He is on set pieces and returning. Playing at home

                            vs West Ham who are far more prolific in front of goal and have a top 6 xG in the last 4 games. BHA meanwhile are 15th for the same stat.

                              I'm not relying on a clean sheet. I'm actually expecting 2 pts from both

                                  Well, I can see a Chelsea clean sheet for the first time this season. Let's see!

                                    Maybe. I dont feel strongly about either player tbf. Just a feeling that Rico could assist again but I could be wrong

                    Nope my current team with -8 and 3.2 ITB after transferring out Sterling to De Bruyne. Time to wildcard instead of -8

                    I think both are great but would go for Auba. He’ll be a great captain pick next week as well.

                  For this week? Wilson or Haller. Two good attacks vs two terrible defences (statistically)

                  Medium to long term... Auba

                Already made my transfer, but could do a minus 4 for Digne > Soyuncu, play him and bench Dendoncker? Would free up the necessary cash for Greenwood > Wood next week.
