Spot the Differential

Wood’s aerial presence could cause problems for Arsenal in Gameweek 25

Gameweek 24 saw double-digit returns for 17 players, 10 of whom have ownership of 5% or less – encouraging our search for effective differentials.

Options such as Jack Stephens (£4.4m), Nathan Redmond (£6.2m) and Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) all delivered for those willing to think outside of the box, while two of last week’s selections, Joe Gomez (£5.3m) and Sébastien Haller (£7.0m), returned eight and seven points respectively.

This time, we focus on three low-owned picks who we like for Gameweek 25 and beyond.

Chris Wood

Ownership: 1.5%

Price: £6.2m

GW25-29 fixtures: ARS | sou | BOU | new | TOT

Chris Wood’s (£6.2m) goal in the recent win over Manchester United took him to 10 for the campaign, which means he is now one of only 12 players to have scored 30 or more Premier League goals since the start of the 2017/18 season.

The New Zealand international has been a model of consistency since joining the Clarets from Leeds United in August 2017, with his latest goals helping to deliver back-to-back wins for Burnley, who now sit 13th in the table, just four points behind fifth.

His tally could be even higher this season, with his 24 big chances only bettered by Jamie Vardy (£9.9m). That points to a player who more often than not, is getting into good positions in front of goal.

With Arsenal, level with Burnley on 30 points, due at Turf Moor on Sunday, Wood’s aerial ability could be key.

His five goals from set plays are more than any other player this season, whilst only Newcastle United have conceded more attempts from dead ball situations than the Gunners.

Sean Dyche’s team appear to have moved up a gear when it comes to attacking in recent weeks, with more confidence on the ball, and given Wood has scored in his last two games, more could be on the way.

Harvey Barnes

Ownership: 0.9%

Price: £5.9m

GW25-29 fixtures: CHE | wol | MCI | nor | AVL

In recent weeks, Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) has established himself as one of Leicester City’s main offensive threats.

The 22-year-old winger has scored three goals in five appearances during January, netting against Burnley and West Ham United in the league, with his performance in the 4-1 win over the Hammers arguably the best of the season to date.

Barnes’ ability to create has caught the eye, too.

He has assisted seven goals for the Foxes so far this season, which is two more than James Maddison (£7.6m).

Whilst rotation is a slight concern, he’s now started 16 of the last 21 league matches, and seems to be finding his feet at the top level.

Leicester currently sit third in the Premier League table and look well-placed to finish in one of the Champions League spots. They have an opportunity to move 11 points clear of their opponents Chelsea, who sit fourth, this weekend, while it’s also worth noting Frank Lampard’s men have struggled to keep clean sheets away from Stamford Bridge this season, with just one in 12.

Under the tutelage of Brendan Rodgers, there aren’t many hotter prospects than Barnes right now in the English game.

Martin Dubravka

Ownership: 1.6%

Price: £5.0m

GW25-29 fixtures: NOR | ars | cry | BUR | sou

Since arriving on Tyneside in January 2018, Slovakia international Martin Dubravka (£5.0m) has firmly established himself as Newcastle United’s number one.

In a season where the Magpies have often struggled in front of goal, Dubravka has produced a number of key saves.

In fact, his total of 97 is the best of any goalkeeper in the league, six more than second-placed Bernd Leno (£5.0m), which combined with six clean sheets, has seen him rise to fourth in the overall goalkeeper standings, on 92 points.

Newcastle boast one of the best home defences in the league this season, conceding just 12 goals in 12 games – only Liverpool (9) and Sheffield United (11) have conceded fewer.

They have also improved their form in recent weeks, having drawn at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton and won 1-0 at home against Chelsea.

Surprisingly, only 1.6% of FPL managers own Dubravka ahead of his home match against Norwich City.

A clean sheet is a real possibility with the Canaries only scoring six Premier League goals on the road all season. They’ve also created the fewest amount of Big Chances (seven) over the last six Gameweeks.

With a kind fixture run, Dubravka could be a major influence in the second half of 2019/20.

Which FPL assets topped goal threat, creativity and clean sheets this month?

    What's the deal with this Bruno fella then. Is he a no10

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A number 8 I believe

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Could be a second striker while rashford is out, maybe

  2. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Have 1FT and thinking of doing McCarthy > Henderson...

    Waste of a transfer and funds? My team is..

    McCarthy - Button
    Rico - Kelly - Alexander-Arnold - Lundstram - Reid
    Grealish - Salah - Mané - De Bruyne - Traoré
    Calvert-Lewin - Vardy - Ings

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't, even just due to BGW 28. Your defence could be in trouble this week - Rico, Kelly and Lundstram not assured starts. I would go Rico or Kelly to Lascelles.

      1. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why are Rico and Kelly asured starts? Have they bought any new players to challenge their position?

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          They aren't. Howe mentioned Rico carrying injuries (and Bournemouths defence is atrocious) and Ward is back fit and available.

          1. La Vida Latte
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Okay. Nothing new then I guess. These cheapies are never asured starts anyway I guess.

            1. Catastrophe
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Taylor and Lascelles are nailed for cheaper, I'm going with William's worth the risk at his price.

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't. Henderson doesn't play in GW28 and he would be your only keeper. Saints also have good fixtures coming up.

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't do that, as Henderson blanks in GW28

    4. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it. GK transfers are cursed this season

      Kelly more of a priority to move on anyway

  3. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any suggestions to improve the below WC Team please chaps? (0.1 ITB)

    McCarthy
    TAA, VVD, O'Connell
    KDB, Salah, Grealish, Traore
    Aguero, Aubameyang, Jimenez

    (Button, Lascelles, Hayden, Williams)

    Would have 9 for BGW28 which I'm ok with, may lose Aguero/Auba/Grealish by then.

    Just little unsure between O'Connell & Williams vs. Lundstram & Taylor.

    Cheers

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      After this week Ings has amazing fixtures

      Looks great - it’s just whether you are better off with a premium midfielder and Ings or your current setup of Traoré and Aguero/ Auba

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I was going to drop Traore a couple of weeks ago but he's still doing well and I've got good value tied up. But yeah, toss up between Traore & Auba vs. Son & Ings. Fancy giving Auba a go.

    2. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Midfield (Grealish, Adama, Hayden) is inflexible if something goes wrong. I'd take value out of Auba and upgrade one of those to a £7-8m pick

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I'm OK with that and comfortable with bench. Hayden would be 3rd sub mostly, and Grealish & Adama both looking great value for now. Will have to see how Auba gets on!

    3. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like it a lot.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks great to me. Can always shift Kun and Auba for Vardy and Ings in GW28.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, I'm half-expecting to lose at least one of them in the next few weeks. That would also facilitate Hayden -> Son although would also give me a huge benching headache!

    5. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rather have a nailed Vardy over Aguero plus Vardy plays in gw28 Aguero doesn't.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, may make that transfer in next few weeks. Want to see how Vardy's fitness is first.

    6. HAMMERTIME107
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How is this team even affordable?

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Catastrophe has posted this before and I worked out that I was 1.9 million short of affording it! Amazing TV

      2. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Team value only around 106, had a lot of risers I guess...

  4. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    My WC team:

    Pope
    TAA, Gomez, Stephens, Lascelles, Hanley
    Salah, KDB, Perez, Grealish, Richarlison
    Aguero, Jimenez, Ings

    What do you think?

    1. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Second keeper? Need one if you haven’t used BB.
      I’d change Hanley too by downgrading Perez/Richa

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would consider Perez, Richarlison, Gomez, Hanley -> Traore, Hayden, VVD, Williams/Taylor/O'Connell (no idea if funds allow that)

  5. HAMMERTIME107
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How does this look please? Help appreciated!

    Pope
    Baldock | Gomez | Lascelles
    De-Bruyne | Traore | Salah | Grealish
    Aguero | Jimenez | Aubameyang
    -
    Button | Rico | Dendoncker | Kelly

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It looks a much cheaper version of what Catastrophe posted above - similar comments on his team apply to yours in terms of the front 8.

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good - is it WC? If so need TAA, not sure if you can scrape the funds with Pope to McCarthy, Baldock -> O-Connell, Rico to Williams, Kelly to Taylor, Dendoncker to Hayden?

  6. OneDennisBergkamp

    when will the season ticker be updated with blank GW28?

    1. I Member

      Surprised it's taken them this long.

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego

      Yeah it will be soon hopefully.

      Just needs a couple tweaks 🙂 On the topic of that - RMT will be updated with the blanks later tonight, for anyone wondering.

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    No mention from Klopp in his presser of any Mane injury, does that mean he’s available for this GW?

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

      I can't think of any other explanation.

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

      Triple captain mane this week it is then

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years

        Who the heck are these journos?! Why not ask about Mane!

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Mane sellers 😀

    5. SADIO SANÉ

      yes

      1. Le Bluff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        No, it doesn't.

            • 5 Years

            Come on. Play fair

          2. Le Bluff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Klopp earlier in the week:

            “Sadio will not be involved for West Ham and probably not for Southampton,” said the manager. “After that he should be then fine.

            “The week we have then after that is for him perfect to get back on track.

            “He has a small muscle tear, which is serious enough to keep him out. We were lucky with the injury as well, so it was not that serious.

            “But of course, when you have three games in a week then that means he is out for these three games.”

            The '3 games' were Shrewsbury, West Ham, and now Southampton. Of course there's still a very high chance he misses tomorrow.

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years

      1. sunzip14

        I can start him. But will have to bench one of Sidibe, Lunds or Ings

    70 points behind in my cash league, very similar teams - Is now a good time to push the WC button? I don't want to leave it too late.

    Current team is:

    Guiata - Button
    TAA - Robbo - Soy - Kelly - Lund
    KDB - Salah - Richarlison - Grealish - Maddison
    DCL - Vardy - Ings

    I would end up with:

    Henderson - McCarthy
    TAA - Robbo - Basham - Lascelles - Taylor
    Martial - Traore - KDB - Salah - Richarlison
    Jiminez - Auba - Greenwood

    Or Martial - Traore - Green to Fleck - Grealish - Ings

    What we learnt in the runup to Gameweek 25…

    Liverpool

    Shaqiri and Milner are out of the Southampton game, but Lallana is back in training and Origi is also ok after coming off with cramp. No mention, strangely, of Mane.
    https://twitter.com/LynchStandard/status/1223241317075116033?s=20

    Man City

    Laporte has some fatigue but Pep hopes to have him available for the Spurs game. Sane is back training with the team but will need a bit of time. Mendy and Fernandinho were reported earlier in the week as not completely fit yet.

    https://twitter.com/andyhampson/status/1223240249842765824?s=20

    Leicester City

    Morgan is still out ill and it should be the same squad that travelled midweek. Vardy could “potentially” start vs Chelsea. It should be noted that the journo asking about Vardy encouraged him to use the word “potentially”.
    https://twitter.com/JrdnBlackwell/status/1222911135835480070?s=20

    Chelsea

    No new injuries for Chelsea, but Tammy has been struggling with his ankle. He trained today and will be assessed late on to see how his ankle now reacts.

      For what it's worth, on Mane:

      I'd guess he misses the game, based on previous quotes. Dinnery seems convinced he's out but his reliability is a bit dodgy. Zero mention at all in the presser.

        This is why we need FFS representation at these pressers 🙂

            You know what, it wouldn't surprise me if one day you did get journo's turning up with a big interest in FPL implications - it's a pretty healthy market that's desperate for news.

            Desperate for news = social media clicks = happy journos!

        Genuine question - why is Dinnery held up by the community as the in the know on injuries?

        From what I see, he is never in the know, just collates what others post on social media?

        1. Le Bluff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I think because he's one of only a few on Twitter in that medical-related field. You're right though - he just posts stuff which has come from press conferences.

        2. Rotation's Alter Ego
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He collates very well and often puts some good physio knowledge to quotes, but other times he makes some really fundamental mistakes.

          Take one of Tammy's earlier injuries.

          Was adamant that he wouldn't get a scan and all was fine - these are multi-million pound footballers, of course they'll get a scan at the slightest hint of trouble. Unsurprisingly he was given one and marked as a doubt iirc. Just basic stuff.

      Not a single journalist asked Klopp about Mane? LOL.

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

        They don't care - they've all already sold him for Bruno for a hit.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yet Origi and Shaq and co get mentioned by name.

        Infuriating!

        News may well emerge later.

        1. The Rumour Mill
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly, as he's one of their best players you would think they would be interested. Putting aside FPL for a minute, if I was a Liverpool fan I'd like to know if one of their star attackers was available for the weekend or not!

          Yeah do any of Klopps pressers get subjected to the embargo? what's the cutoff for that, 10:30pm?

      3. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Mane wasn’t already ruled out of WHU and Saints at the last presser, no?

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          he wasn't ruled out for Southampton

        2. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He was marked down as a "probably not" vs Sou

        3. Rotation's Alter Ego
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Again, depends what you read.

          Some said he was. The more reliable sources said he wasn't, just marked as probably not.

          I missed that presser as I was out so can't confirm

      Thanks for this.

      Surely common sense tells us that Klopp won't risk Mane. They should comfortably win the game without him and are so ridiculously far ahead in the league that it's not worth even a small risk.

        I can't shake the feeling that Salah won't play a lot of minutes in gw25

    The Twitter thing on here says Bruno Fernandez has been added to the game for 8m. Can't see him in the game still.

    1. potatoace

      Have you tried switching it off and on again.

    On WC: Which one would you take if you are planning on starting them for GW25&28?

    A) Saint Maximin (NOR, BUR)
    B) Snodgrass (BHA, SOT)

    1. TheKeeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Saint Maximin

    1.Vardy to Auba bench mane
    2.Mane+Maupay to Bruno/Grealish + Kun/Auba keep Vardy
    3.Keep Vardy and Mane?
    Have 2ft..
    Thanks!

  16. Al
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno Fernandes in for Mane.. done. Let's see how it goes

    1. Breaking FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      doubt he will start immediately ... seems like a guaranteed 1 pointer

      1. Al
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Comes on and scores winner from a free kick/penalty. Easy

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Punty ....

  17. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Real headache whether to bench Mané , or use 2FT's to get Robbo t/VVD to double up with TAA (have Salah). It boils down to who score more over next two GW's

    A) Baldock/Stephesn (cry-BOU) + Mane ( - / nor)
    B) VVD/Robbo (SOU/nor) + Son (MCI /avl )
    C) VVD/Robbo (SOU/nor) +Traoré (mun / LEI)

    Not really sold on Son or Traoré for next two, but could do with VVD/Robbo points in case Mané doesn't start vs. Norwich...
    Best pick here, guys ?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A. Stevens

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        yeah, meant Stevens, confused him with the Southampton one

  18. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Klopp didn't mention Mane at all in today's press conference

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Now more confused about what to do with him

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      So he could feasibly play then, last time Klopp mentioned him I believe he said he 'probably' won't feature in the Sou match.

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        good news!

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…

      Hattie incoming

    4. Al
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's already confirmed he's out until after the winter break. Should be back for Norwich

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Winter break is after Norwich or before?

        1. Al
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Before. Will get minutes v Norwich in time for big CL Atletico tie.

      2. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I dont remember seeing a quote from Klopp or the club ruling him out 100%, it was only ever a 'probably' won't play v Sou I believe. Do you have a source with the quote ruling him out pls ? He has been 25% on FPL too, not red flagged.

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure it’s worth the risk either way when he costs around 12m

      3. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Who confirmed that?

  19. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    G2G? Anything you'd change?

    5.5itb 0FT
    McCarthy
    TAA, Lunds, Holgate
    Salah (C), KDB, Martial, Grealish
    Vardy, Ings, DCL
    (McGovern) (Cantwell, Soy, Williams)

    Cheers!

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Maybe Williams above Soy on the bench, other than that G2G

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years

        Cheers mate. He just is a bit un-nailed for my liking!

  20. ebb2sparky
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Was planning to get Ings after this game week but maybe it's worth bringing him in now for Abraham? I have 2 FT so saving isn't really an option. Alternatively I could sell Kelly and spend up to 4.6 on a replacement?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kelly to NEW/SHU defender can work

  21. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would you rather do?

    A. Lundstram -> another SHU defender
    B. Soyuncu -> Boly

    Wolves have good fixtures imminent and I think their defense improves with Boly fit, but they're not a team known for clean sheets. I also worry for Lundstram's minutes.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Saka Rice
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't Lundstram nailed though?

  22. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play two:

    A) Cathcart (EVE)
    B) Rico (AVL)
    C) Lundstram (cry)
    D) Ings

    In regards to Lundstram, I'm already playing Henderson.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lund and Cathy

  23. PompeyUpNorth!

    2 freebies zero itb. What do I do?
    Thinking DCL to Aguero (C)
    And Mane to Traore leaving .4 spare?
    Yay or nay or any other options please?
    Ryan Button
    Lund Soy TAA (Rico Kelly)
    Salah Mane KDB Grealish (Cant)
    Vardy DCL Ings

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years

      I'd give DCL this game and bring Aguero next week for WHU.

      haha

  25. sovietrockettes
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I hate this kind of decision - play either:

    A) Ings
    B) Martinelli

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

  26. Riggs
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Does a Rico, Mane, Vardy - Robbo, Grealish, Auba worth -4?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Risky but could work

  27. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg? Did Mane to Salah :/ 1ft

    Hendo
    TAA Robo Lund
    KDB Salah Martial Alli
    Vardy Maupay ings
    (Martin, Cantwell, Rico, Williams)

    2nd attempt! This lot G2G?

    McCarthy
    TAA - VVD - Lund - Digne
    KdB - Salah (C) - Madds - Doucouré
    Jiménez - Vardy
    [ Button ¦ Rico - Ings - Cantwell]
