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.

        Heart says TAA but Mane ownership is a rank buster if I get it wrong. Made worse as a West Ham fan that i got a sneaky feeling we will upset everybody

  2. Baltic Revolution
    • 4 Years

    Who to play?

    A. DCL (NEW)
    B. Grealish (WAT)

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Form says Grealish

  3. Ze_Austin

    Update on my SHU triple defence plan:

    SHU just signed a freaking left-back X_X

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      is he complete back up though ?

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

      Good chance he is a backup

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

        Or maybe this is what I would like to think

  4. Konstaapeli
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Going to TC Salah this week and really feel it's the ideal time to use TC chip.

    1. The league is not won, yet. Klopp wants that trophy and won't take the foot of the gas until it is. This is likely to chance for the later DGW's and could mean more rotation for Pool and City assets as both turn attention from league to CL.

    2. Last season I saved all my chips to the end campaign for the blank and double game weeks. There was a lot of planning how to use those chips so I can play TC and BB on a double GW. Playing TC now makes this much easier.

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah doesn’t generally do as well away from home

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

        Have Mane and TAA also but TC Salah just feels much better. Might well be the wrong option.

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

      Issue is both game could end with 1-0 type of score

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

        Sure. But that applies to all games.

      2. Weilong7
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        yes that caused the dilemma whether to go for attack or defense

    3. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Point 2 is the most valid reason I can think of to play the TC this week - but otherwise I am not tempted

  5. tyron
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    anyone not using their tc this gw? and why?

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

      Just not sure about fixtures

      Will we captain them if it was just Wolves away?

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

        Might still use TC but not feeling it, looks like a single digit score to me.

        1. tyron
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          i feel you. pondering not using it myself

      2. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Think I'd captain Salah or Vardy, so good chance.

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      not using it - I'm expecting a reasonable score (around 20) compared to an achievable 15 points for single home game

      The up side to TC just isn't there - though I except there is a reasonable level of certainty of getting e.g. 10 points as opposed to 2

      I'll take my chances with Aguero later on

      1. tyron
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        leaning towards this, but the potential downfall IF they score big and u are basically further behind

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

          What is "big" for Liv away - 13 are season highs for Salah and Mane, 12 for Firmino ... I think TC will be desperate for their player to repeat that in one of the two difficult fixtures, those high scores were against avl, bou and sot

          TAA looks the biggest rank killer - he normally get points if Salah or Mane get points - and then you have the LEI match were his 24 kills the 6 and 3 scored by Salah / Mane

          i.e. even with Salah or Mane TC you could still crash and burn big time

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

    A) Triple Captain TAA

    B) Just Captain TAA

    C) Triple Captain Mane

    D) Just Captain Mane

    1. Konstaapeli

      A or C

    Traore replacement
    Doucoure or Grealish?

    Ty!

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      It will be fun, you can refer back to it along with thoughts of Carroll, Sane and Dunk.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      If its going to be 3pts, I would prefer to punt on someone like Duffy 😀

    2. SAY MY NAME

      wouldn't bother with west ham, just pick a good player instead

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

        wouldn't dismiss it either - BHA for gw25

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years

      Can you somehow get Son? He is a good differential IMO.

      Rico to go first IMO. Williams an option. Holgate? Though idk if the latter is close to losing his place?

  17. The Ejiptian King

    Newcastle sign Bentaleb on loan, I expect that he'll be on pens.

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo

    A) Soyuncu & Kelly > Digne & Tanganga and play them both this week

    Thinking TAA for the TC over Salah.

    I’ve got TAA, VVD and Salah.

    20 point behind in my mini league and the two above me both have TAA, Robbo and Mane only so I expect they will TC Mane.

    Seems TAA is least likely to be rotated and does well away from home.

    Take the risk or go safe with Salah?

    Cheers
