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.

      Go on transfers and list view. You can see purchase price, current price and selling price.

      If there is an even amount between the purchase price and current price (eg 0.4) then a single 0.1 drop will lose you 0.1 on selling price

      If there is an odd amount between the purchase price and current price (eg 0.3) then a single 0.1 drop will have no impact on selling price

    I have the exact money to do

    Vardy and DCL —> Aguero and Greenwood

    I’d do it at around 11pm tonight before aguero rides, so it won’t be for this GW. Should I do it? Risky but will be priced out otherwise

      Deadline is in just under 4 hours. Don't know what timezone you're posting from but keep that in mind. I wouldn't do it tbh.

        'Won't be for this GW.'

    2. FrankieTheGent

      No.
      (1) It's a move for Feb 1 matches
      (2) Vardy and DCL will likely outscore Aguero and Greenwood

    3. Rupert The Horse

      Agüero has horrible fixtures, bottom of the ticker.

    I have 0.2 ITB.

    Henderson
    TAA, Soyuncu, Kelly
    Salah, Mane, KDB, Grealish
    Vardy, Jimenez, DCL

    McGovern, Cantwell, Lundstram, Rico

    Any help appreciated, thanks.

    1. The Road to Turfdom

      optimal team - could get Button and save £0.1m?

      1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 7 Years

        That’s a fair shout, thank you

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

      Rico/Kelly to Lascelles

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

    Best 4.3m defender or under? Tanganga? Williams? Cathcart? Ogbonna? Lascelles? Clark?

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cath

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lascelles or Williams.

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going for Williams myself

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

      Similar question from me below. Williams is tempting, but I worry he won't play, so I'm leaning Cathcart or Fernandes. I like Lascelles, but they may ease him back in?

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

      Clark. Ritchie with his corners. Lovely stuff.

    6. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Williams

  6. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    No Pep presser?

  7. CC22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is the big appeal with Salah for the armband largely due to recent form and also the fact he is now on penalties? Just compared him, Mane & TAA and of you combine two weeks of points together throughout the season, from a total of 21 “double” GW’s, the stats are:

    Mane
    Max - 23
    Min - 5
    10+ point hauls - 17
    15+ point hauls - 11
    20+ point hauls - 1

    Salah
    Max - 29
    Min - 2
    10+ point hauls - 12
    15+ point hauls - 6
    20+ point hauls - 2

    TAA
    Max - 32
    Min - 3
    10+ point hauls - 10
    15+ point hauls - 4
    20+ point hauls - 2

    Salah’s stats may be skewed slightly by missing a few games and carrying an injury, but the safest option on the face of it appears to be Mane if people would be happy with circa 10-15 points from their captain? Plus, when including effective ownership he seems even more of a safe pick.

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

      It’s because he is Salah (and much lower EO than Mane so more upside and people get nervous captaining defenders)

      In reality TAA > Mane > Salah as captain pick but there isn’t much in it and I’m still going salah despite this

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, I guess Salah has the biggest upside due to low ownership and recently has probably been the best option, especially including penalties. But for those playing safe, or already with high OR, it seems like Mane would be the safest bet.

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

          Correct

          Owning Salah and TAA and captaining Mane it’s hard to see how you could get a red arrow this week

    2. FrankieTheGent
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      The big appeal of Salah, Mane and TAA are that they are awesome and playing twice.

      The arguments on which is better have been largely redundant.

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        True. It’s now a case of deciding which is most awesome to give the armband though!

        1. FrankieTheGent
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Oh that's easy.
          It's Salah.

  8. Angin out the Begović
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth saving TC or is now the perfect chance to use it on Salah ?

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

      Im using seems like great opportunity

    2. FrankieTheGent
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pros for now:
      Salah is in form in an in form team going hell bent for the title with a 6 day rest (not counting shrewsbury and I know they play Saints on the 1st but they rest until the 15th after that).

      There might not be an ideal strategy later as per last year.

      Waiting for city?
      The league might well be over AND/OR champs league rotation could mean that say Man City (even if they got home vs NOR and AV) with a 3-4 day rest would not appeal as much.

      Pros for later:
      City might get a treble week - even though that could mean congestion you'd be happy with 2 out of 3 (and Laporte could be fit)

  9. Mackans

    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. DAVESAVES

        Play Kelly over Lund imo

    2. KDB4PREZ

      Play kelly over Lundy imo

    3. HaffNanner

      I have the exact same team. Who’s your captain?

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

        Salah at the moment, but have been switching quite a few times:) Who’s yours?

        1. HaffNanner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          Salah too. Good luck!

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No as his EO wouldn’t be 200

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      What a bizarre point of view.

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

        Siiiick bizarre right!?? Absolutely out of this world

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

      FFS comments section does not equal the whole world / top 10k

      Mane will have much higher EO than Salah

      Just owning Salah you’ll probably still benefit from his points (I reckon he will be around 90% EO)

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

        Yeah thats true. A lot of people here seem to be doing what everyone else is doing, so it probably seems like way more people will TC than what actually is the case.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed.

  13. RLew
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pope
    TAA | Lundstrom | Holgate
    Salah | KDB | Martial | Maddison*
    DCL | Vardy | Maupay

    Button | VVD* | Cantwell | Rico

    2 FTs, 3.2 ITB

    I'm bringing in Mane, but can't settle on a defender for VVD. Who makes the most sense under 4.6?

    I'm leaning toward Cathcart or Fernandez for gametime security, but Williams is tempting.

    Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

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

        They’ve won 5 out of 23 games by 3 or more. So one in 4.6.

        3 of these were away games for what it’s worth.

        None of that data helps me decide anything this week though.

    4. George Sillett

      Doubt it. Pool are just more concerned with getting the job done and managing games rather than going hell for leather for 90 minutes.

    Do you know which teams could have a double gw34?

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

      At the moment every single team could have a DGW in 34, a blank in 34, or a SGW in 34.

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

        assuming this is likely to be free hit central?

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

          Depends how the fixtures fall. If the FA Cup quarter final blank week is full of shite teams playing, that may be the week to paly it.

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

            did that last year I think, did not go well 😀

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

              Last couple of years there have been 1 or 2 good teams playing in the big blank week which made planning for it and saving a chip possible. May be a different story this year.

      Way too far off to be thinking about that and far too difficult to predict. The Cup draw can throw up any mix of fixtures.

    This GW could be so so decisive to MLs.

    TC could get you 6, it could get you 45...

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

      Could get you 100

      Or nothing

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

        Either way I anticipate emotions.

      2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan

        TC can't get you 100

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

          Remember I got around 75 points from Sanchez 2-3 years ago... Not 100 but close!

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

          Just to be clear, you are telling me that it’s impossible (cant) rather than extremely unlikely (won’t) that a player could score 17 points in each of their two games in a Dgw?

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            34x3 isn't 100

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

              You guys meant EXACTLY 100. Then agreed!

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

            I'm telling you that it's impossible (can't or won't, take your pick) that a player could score 33.333... points in a GW.

            Was being a pedant

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

              Ha. Fair enough.

    Apparently Jose had a training bust up with Rose. It's starting. I am surprised it took so long.

    https://twitter.com/FFScout/status/1219625626925240320

    This confirms it for me. First bust up with a player for Jose at Spurs. Congrats

      Good for Aurier owners

  28. Jebiga

    This is the week we find out whether Mark really does know and has just been fooling us this season

  30. dshv

    Really bad on points last weeks

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