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.

    Felipe Anderson will be out for four weeks after falling awkwardly in a challenge against Sheffield United, David Moyes has confirmed.

      TC plans shattered

    2. Fpl Richie

      Ugh. West ham can't catch a break.

    3. Relaxing
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Improves the Snodgrass appeal

    4. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years

      Improves the VVD, TAA, Allison, Gomez appeal 🙂

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        triple captain on TAA Then

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

        Whoever replaces him surely can't be worse?

  12. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Would you start Kelly(SOT) over Ings(cpl) ??

    There could be rotation amongst soton forwards

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If ings plays I’d prefer him, maybe get some early team news

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

      Ward back could also mean no Kelly.

      1. dezille
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        What are the chances of Kelly not starting, do you think? Also, if Ward does start, would Kelly likely come on late on for a cameo?

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    IF we get news of an Ings benching before the deadline.

    Are many looking to switch to Haller for 2 GWs?

    (lei/LIV & BRI) vs (pal (20 mins?) & liv)

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      It's a tempter - but is it worth two transfers (-4 for me)?

      Might switch in Kelly from the bench.

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

        Similar spot with Kelly, but it'd be a FT.

        If Ward is in for Kelly & Ings is bench I'll be tempted.

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          For free and if Kelly is benched - do it yes.

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

      6 points instead of 3.

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

        I need them 3!!!

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

          Throw your TC chip at it as well 😀

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not worth the hassle

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

      I'm probably doing it either way

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

    Need to see green arrow again

    Salah - TC ?? (Also have mane) but need that player who has less owned percentage

    Si or no

  15. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any leaked lineups? Ings benched or?

  16. farqy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Right, so which of the following options is most viable for muchas points (For reference, I already have Salah & Gomez)?

    A) Targett > VVD (-4pts)

    B) Jiminez > Firmino (-4pts)

    C) None of the above

    Cheers!

    I don't know about others but I never get to the point where I want one of my players to blank, even if it will hurt my OR or my ML rank due to other people captaining them. I'm just a simple soul - I like my players to score points. Maybe if I ever had a good enough OR to worry about protecting I might feel different 🙂

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

      I mean if your MV rivals TC the player you just own, I woudnt be too happy about him scoring...

  18. Gudjohnsen

  19. OptimusBlack

    Play Lundstram over Kelly ??

    1. Taegugk Warrior
      • 5 Years

      Kelly

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years

        Okay

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m not playing either but have Lundstram ahead of Kelly on my bench if that helps.

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years

        Thank you

  20. Taegugk Warrior

    Giving choice to my wife who know nothing about football, etc...
    She choose Mane over Salah...

    Mane (TC) confirmed...

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Under the thumb casual move! 😉

    2. Bonus magnet

      She chooses mane for what?

      1. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        She doesn’t know what is mane, what is salah... LOL...

        I’m just asking “salah or mane”..

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Good for her - she obviously has a life.

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years

      Salah

  21. goriuanx
    • 13 Years

    LateRiser12's inclusion on the scoutcast + articles has been the best decision made on this site for several years.

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Valid

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

      First ScoutCast I've listened to in a long time, his way of thinking opens up the FPL mind - needs his own Podcast!

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Whole lot better then fpl family

    4. Jafooli

      I miss the ‘Meet the Team’ tab with mods & contributors who are never here 😛

    5. Le Bluff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Haven't watched this week's Scoutcast but he writes some great articles and is brilliant to follow on Twitter.

      Love the way he plays the game too. Vardy > Aguero has worked wonders for him the last few weeks. Ballsy move and paid off.

    6. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Well said.

    7. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's gotten a fair bit of stick but I think the Pro Pundits move has been a positive on the whole.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        A mixed bag to be fair - hopefully they'll look to obtain feedback and then replace the shite ones with new ones (though I doubt it)

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          LR is great.

          He will probably get sacked off because he doesn't fit in.

  22. LMFAO
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Chasing in my ML.

    Ryan
    TAA, Sidibe, Soy
    Mane, Salah, KDB, Grealish
    Vardy, Ings, Jimmy

    Bench is Rico, Lund, Saka, Martin.

    0.1 ITB, 2 FT.

    A: KDB & Jimmy to Kun & Doucoure
    B: Rico to Williams

    I’m thinking to go with A?

    TAA . 5.8
    Van Dijk . 5.1
    Salah . 7.0

    Salah . 5.8
    Mane . 6.2

    1. goriuanx

      Get the average of both, 1 guy stands out.

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      TAA for me.

      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      On TAA atm but keep changing back to Mane i know the 1 i dont go with is going to get a huge score

    4.  ⓖⓐⓩⓩⓐ™

      Who is the most likely to get least minutes?

  27. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Foster
    Taa Soy Holgate
    Kdb Salah (tc) Lucas Snodgrass
    Ings Vardy Firmino

    Hendo Adama Kelly Rico

    Gtg?

  28. Best
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Help a brother settle his demons.....

    Is Grealish & Kun > Salah & Mason utter madness ?

    I would TC Salah in this outcome.

    Currently just have Mane.

  29. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any early thoughts on the better move next week?
    A. Kelly to Lascelles/Clark/Fern
    B. Soyuncu to Stevens/Ritchie

    Have taa/lund/Holgate.

  30. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What to do? (1 free transfer, 0.1ib)

    Henderson (McGovern)
    Trent Lundstram Söyüncü (Kelly) (Rico)
    Salah Mané KDB Grealish (Hayden)
    Vardy Ings DCL

    Maybe Kelly to Holgate??

    1. FirMinaMiMo
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rico to holgate
