Liverpool and West Ham differentials to consider for Double Gameweek 24

Gameweek 23 saw double-digit returns for Paolo Gazzaniga (£4.6m), John Fleck (£5.0) and, one of our differential selections from last week, Leandro Trossard (£5.8m).

All of these players have a Fantasy Premier League ownership of 5% or less, suggesting there is still budget value to capitalise on and help propel you up the rankings.

This time, two of our picks have Double Gameweeks to enjoy, whilst the third is looking to kickstart his career at a new club.

Joe Gomez

  • FPL ownership: 4.2%
  • Price: £5.2m
  • GW24-28 fixtures: wol + whu | SOU | nor | WHU | wat

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are among two sides involved in Double Gameweek 24, and will visit both Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United over the coming eight days.

Loading up on their assets is a no-brainer but if your budget won’t stretch to one of Liverpool’s premium defenders, FPL bosses could do a lot worse than look at Joe Gomez (£5.2m).

The 22-year-old centre-half has completed 90 minutes in each of the Reds’ last seven league games, in which they’ve kept seven clean sheets, and has returned 44 points in the process. Interestingly, that’s identical to Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) over the same period.

The return of Joel Matip (£5.2m), and to a lesser extent Dejan Lovren (£5.3m), could impact his minutes, but the feeling amongst supporters is that his consistent displays alongside Virgil van Dijk (£6.4m) has secured his spot in the first team for now.

Whilst this part of the analysis is usually reserved for the opposition, this is Liverpool, and they are that good that it’s perhaps not even necessary. It goes without saying that two further clean sheets are a real possibility.

Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) remain the stand-out picks but if funds are needed further forward, Gomez’s price of just £5.2m offers real value.

Sébastien Haller

  • FPL ownership: 3.3%
  • Price: £7.0m
  • GW24-28 fixtures: lei + LIV | BHA | mci | liv | SOU

Talk of Liverpool assets has rightly dominated discussion in the FPL community since their Double Gameweek was announced last month but what about the other team involved, West Ham United?

Back-to-back matches against Leicester City and Liverpool limits their appeal but their subsequent Gameweek 25 fixture at home against Brighton and Hove Albion offers further encouragement.

For those in search of a mid-price forward, Sébastien Haller (£7.0m) may be worth a look.

The Frenchman does look low on confidence but has pedigree, having supplied 15 goals and nine assists for Eintracht Frankfurt last season.

His underlying stats over the last three Gameweeks are also worth noting, with only four forwards taking more shots in the box.

Whilst it’s ambitious to think Haller will return anything more than appearance points against Liverpool, an encounter against Leicester looks more promising for West Ham’s attacking prospects. The Foxes have conceded 12 since Gameweek 18 – only Aston Villa have let in more in that time.

Talking after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Everton, David Moyes suggested his team need to take advantage of Haller’s aerial ability and supply him with more crosses in dangerous areas in the box.

If West Ham’s wide players take heed of those instructions and provide better service to their record signing, Haller could soon add to his six goals for the Hammers.

Cenk Tosun

  • FPL ownership: 0.3%
  • Price: £5.7m
  • GW24-28 fixtures: SOU | SHU | – | NEW | bha

When you think about Crystal Palace, resolute defensive performances are something you associate with them.

Goal threat certainly isn’t.

However, the arrival of Cenk Tosun (£5.7m), combined with Jordan Ayew’s (£5.0m) fine form, means they may have addressed some of those issues.

Tosun, who joined Palace on loan from Everton earlier this month, earned his first start against Manchester City on Saturday and scored a clinical header just before half-time, helping the Eagles secure a 2-2 draw with the reigning champions.

On the back of that draw, the Eagles are now undefeated in five league games and sitting pretty on 30 points.

In addition to the obvious attributes associated with a target man, Tosun also has the ability to find pockets of space, whilst possessing enough composure to play in others. It wouldn’t surprise me if we see one or two assists in the forthcoming weeks.

Their opponents, Southampton, have put up good defensive numbers in recent weeks, but despite this have managed only one clean sheet in their last eight away matches.

As far as debuts go, Tosun’s was excellent, and whilst it is only one game, maybe he’s found the right environment at Selhurst Park to thrive.

Those considering this move should be aware Tosun will miss Gameweek 26 due to being ineligible to face his parent club, Everton.

    Last decision before hitting the bed here.
    1. Save FT.
    2. Ings (6.7m) -> Haller. May take the gamble.

    Ryan.
    TAA, Williams, Holgate.
    Grealish, KDB, Mane, Salah (TC).
    Maupay, Ings, Vardy.
    Stek, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Dendoncker.
    1ft, 0.9m ITB.

      2 isnt a gamble, its just plain reckless!!

  2. S.Kuqi

    Vardy -> Auba after this gw is highly tempting.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks promising. Auba had a great record vs Burnley too. 7 goals in 5 games.

    Looking for a Sarr replacement for 1-2weeks, pick one:

    A) Doucoure
    B) Noble
    C) Trossard

    Those going TAA TC, do you have any other Pool defenders?

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nope I only have TAA originally I planned to captain TAA and get in Robertson. Robertson would have been VC. But an injury to Richarlison changed my plans. So now I have Salah/Mane and TAA,

  7. davies
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Greenwood or Ings?

    TC or C Salah?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Greenwood
      TC

  8. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    One week punt, who to go with?

    A) Maupay - hasn’t scored in a few weeks so due one soon surely, Brighton play decent football and Bournemouth very leaky (but surely due a win soon?)

    B) DCL - in form, Everton resurgent, scores two recently against Newcastle but then Newcastle have Lascelles back now and are not too bad defensively, could be a tight game

    C) Deulofeu - Villa leaky, Watford resurgent, possibly more likely for assists than gold though

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

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

      I like Deu but Dominic is probably going to score more points

  9. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Haller or Dcl for Ings?

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      keep ?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years

        Nope. Have decided to sell

  10. FPL FREAK

    Triple Captaining TAA... Good decision or flat face fall...??

    Predicted points for TAA in 2 matches...??

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Around 16-20

    2. Quinz
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Risky, I'd say 10

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I reckon around 11-13. One CS out of the two and one assist in two games.

      1. FPL FREAK
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        What do u say should I TC him...??

    Best way to get Salah in?

  12. Up the tics
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Despite his haul last week i think its time to get rid of GAZ as i have no other pressing issues and 2ft which i dont want too burn. I have 5.4m to spend for a GK, long term as i dont plan on using my wildcard soon. Whos the best option?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Leno

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

      Ah, finally a different type question...

      Henderson or Guaita is your best bet. Dubravka if feeling punty.

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hendo

    4. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Henderson, fixtures easing up a bit.

  13. Teomi
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    play traore or saka?
    I know saka plays OOP but in posession he plays like a winger...

    Should I go for it?

    1. Tsparkes10

      Ya yeet

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years

      I would just sell Jimmy for Deeney

  18. Dybala10

    Worst of the worst, but who would you pick here?

    A) Kelly (SOU h)
    B) Rico (BHA h)
    C) Webster (BOU a)

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years

      Wrbby

  19. DavidKent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    If you own Mane/Salah but are not triple captaining this week, what game/scenario are you waiting for that you think has better points potential?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      TAA 😉

    2. jtreble

      City DGW.

      1. DavidKent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Think KDB will outscore Salah?

        1. jtreble
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Aguero for me.

      2. RyanMK
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Which GW is that?

        1. jtreble
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          We don’t know.

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

      Random punt in GW37, nothing special.

    4. Bedok
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe there will be a DGW where a decent team has two home games? That's what I usually wait for. But the quality/consistency this year is not great outside of Liverpool.

  20. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Flip of a coin I guess
    Who pairs TAA.

    A) Robbo
    B) Van Dijk

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

  21. Joey Barton and Friends
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Why is the consensus more to TC Salah over Mane? More of a differential or form or cause he is on penos?

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

      Recency bias, nothing major.

      1. Joey Barton and Friends
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thats what I think to. My gut say Mane. Salah hasn't looked very impressive when I have seen him. (I have both)

    2. HTL
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Less/fewer owners, penalties, Mane has looked a bit off recently.

      There's every chance they'll end up with the same score after all this consideration, but in my ML there's fewer people with Salah so it's worth the punt.

  22. gooner_112233445566
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    salah, taa, or mane triple captain?

    in my ml everyone has salah as triple, im 30 points behind top of league, do i take risk with mane or stay safe with salah?

    1. Joey Barton and Friends
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I also have both and just think Mane is the better option.

    2. the dom 1

      how do you know they have TC Salah already?

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Safe

    4. The Count of Monte Cristo

      Got to go with Mane then.

  23. finnish92

    Tosun or Maupay?

  24. Gandalf

    • 13 Years

    A. Grealish + Greenwood > Calvert-Lewin + Fleck

    B Kelly > Stephens

    C. Leave as is

    Foster
    TAA Williams Söyünkü
    Salah Mané KDB Martial Grealish
    Vardy Ings

    4.0 Greenwood Kelly Lundstram

    Leaning against A though as fancy Grealish for Bournemouth away

  25. Quackadoodz
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Chances of Mahrez starting?

    1. 1895Reds
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Be shocked if he didn’t start

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      High

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You'd think it would be high given he rested the previous game.

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

      Pretty good I guess

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      60%

    6. Dannyb

      High you would think, I'm holding.

  26. Niho992

    Scenes here when Klop tomorrow on pres say that Salah/Mane is out for Wolves game cause training injury

  27. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Assume the general consensus is Liverpool's big boys play Thursday vs Wolves, rest the weekend against Shewsbury where they play the kids and be fresh for West Ham (A) 6 days after the Wolves match?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Thats what I think also 😉

  28. FPL FREAK
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play Kelly vs Southampton or Lundstram vs Man city ...??

    1. 1895Reds
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kelly

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kelly

  29. 1895Reds
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    With Ings likely to be benched later, Ings to Haller for -4?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Is this based on the fact that manager said Ings would get a rest and he hasn't had it yet?

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Asking as I'm an Ings owner too

        1. 1895Reds
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Article in the Southampton Echo that suggested he would be benched

  30. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Those keeping both Salah and Mane going forward, how are you gonna decide on captaincy? Stick with one? Change on a game by game basis? I'm gonna keep both but look at alternative captain options.

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Going to stick armband on Mane and keep it on him for next 6 gws
