Sterling’s away form and low ownership can do real FPL damage

After a slow start for last week’s trio of differentials, we’re back ahead of Gameweek 2 on the lookout for the next low-owned bandwagon.

Several intriguing differential options emerged over the opening weekend. 

The likes of Tariq Lamptey (£4.5m), Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Jack Harrison (£5.5m) all impressed, but this week we’re turning to assets at Manchester City, Newcastle United and Leicester City.

As always, to qualify, the player must have an ownership of 5% or less at the time of writing.

Raheem Sterling

  • FPL ownership: 4.6%
  • Price: £11.5m
  • GW2-6 fixtures: wol | LEI | lee | ARS | whu 

It feels strange to include a player like Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) in this section of our coverage, but the numbers don’t lie.

Despite registering an FPL score of 204 points in 2019/20, the England international comes into Gameweek 2 currently sitting in just 4.6% of squads. Let that sink in.

During Project Restart, Sterling led the way for goals (nine), which included a hat-trick at Brighton and Hove Albion, and expected goals (xG) per90 amongst midfielders, while his 10 big chances was only bettered by Michail Antonio (£6.5m). Five of his nine double-digit hauls arrived following the resumption, which ensured he outscored teammate Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) by 86 FPL points to 73. In comparison, his Belgian colleague is now in 30.9% of squads.

Ahead of a run of four away matches in their opening six fixtures, it’s also worth flagging Man City’s, and specifically Sterling’s form on the road last season. The Citizens scored 45 goals, which is six more than second placed Chelsea, and 12 more than Liverpool in third. Sterling also thrived on his travels – 70% of his league goals arrived during away games, while his 26 big chances in such matches was comfortably more than any other player. 

Man City’s season begins at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday, as they attempt to reclaim the Premier League title, before games against Leicester and Leeds United. Despite some tricky looking match-ups during that run, Sterling’s attacking output is up there with the best, and early investors could be rewarded with some huge differential hauls.

Ryan Fraser

Sterling's away form and low ownership can do real FPL damage
  • FPL ownership: 1.0%
  • Price: £6.0m
  • GW2-6 fixtures: BHA | tot | BUR | MUN | wol 

Ryan Fraser (£6.0m) didn’t enjoy the best of seasons on the South Coast last year. An underwhelming campaign saw him finish the season with a solitary goal, but I think it’s worth trying to understand why he struggled, while also casting our minds back to the season before last when Fraser was one of the most creative players in the league.

Last season’s issues aren’t easy to sum up. Back in January, he admitted “I didn’t play for the team” during the early part of the season, no doubt distracted by transfer speculation linking him with a move away. He also failed to play any part in Project Restart having declined a short-term contract extension.

Despite this, his expected assists (xA) per90 was still comfortably above that of any Bournemouth team-mate.

Now settled into a new, more positive environment, Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce will be hoping he can get return to the levels set in 2018/19, when he scored seven goals and provided 14 assists.

Encouragingly, and despite not playing much since March, Fraser made an instant impact on his debut on Wednesday night, when he scored the winning goal against Blackburn Rovers that helped send his team through to the next round of the Carabao Cup. 58 minutes were banked, and it’s now a question of when he’ll make his Premier League debut. This week might come too soon, so this is a move which does carry some risk, but he’s certainly in contention.

On Sunday, the Magpies entertain Brighton, full of confidence having beaten West Ham United in their opener. Their setup looked more balanced, we saw improvements at both ends, while in Callum Wilson (£6.5m) they finally have a fit forward who is capable of running in behind.

Fraser is an exciting footballer, who will be a genuine threat for Newcastle once up to speed, and could be a nice pick-up for those on the lookout for a midfield differential.

Timothy Castagne

FPL ownership: 4.0%

Price: £5.5m

GW2-6 fixtures: BUR | mci | WHU | AVL | ars 

Timothy Castagne (£5.5m) showed some serious promise in his side’s 3-0 win at West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 1.

The versatile full-back headed in Leicester City’s opener in a man of the match performance which saw him supply of all of the Foxes’ width down their right-side, and combine well with Spanish forward Ayoze Pérez (£6.5m).

Given they were without first-teamers Jonny Evans (£5.5m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.0m), plus the recently departed Ben Chilwell (£5.5m), the Foxes’ defensive performance at the Hawthorns should be applauded, as they restricted West Brom to just three shots in the box, and an expected goal (xG) tally of 0.42.

Interestingly for FPL managers, Castagne has since suggested his full-back on the opposite flank, James Justin (£4.5m), was told not to advance so often to ensure there was enough defensive cover to allow him to join the attack at every opportunity. If that specific instruction from Brendan Rodgers were to continue, it would certainly make the Belgian a more enticing prospect, despite his £5.5m price tag.

Leicester’s fixtures between now and Gameweek 5 offers promise, with three home games against Burnley, West Ham and Aston Villa in the next four, while they also embark on a nice run from Gameweek 10 – 13.

Regardless of which side he’s deployed on, Castagne will be a threat whenever he goes forward, and owned by just 4.0% of squads, could help propel his owners up the FPL ranks.

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years

      Don't fancy AWB - probably better options even at 5.0. Willian fixtures poor after this week

    3. Utopsis

      Prefer Shaw to AWB, but I wouldn't lose Trent myself

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on your plans for GW3 - do you already have United cover, KDB etc.?

      Prefer Wilson to Mitrovic but wouldn't do it if it will mean you need to take a hit next week. Mitro got a reasonable chance of returns away to Leeds.

      1. Tree House
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. No united or city so I guess I will hold and bring them all in next week maybe with a hit.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah - probably best/safest.

        2. Utopsis
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Same mate, no Manchester - hopefully the damage is kept to a minimum

  10. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) Saiss or James?
    B) Rotate Martinez/McCarthy, another pair, single 4.5 or single 5.0 Keeper?
    C) Jorginho or Soucek?
    D) Klich or another 5.5 Mid?
    E) Jimenez + 0.5 or Martial?

    (no CHE/WOL cover)

    Cheers

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saiss
      Martinez and 4.0 - those two don't rotate that well
      Soucek
      Podence
      50/50 go with your gut on this one - I like both

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers! Think Podence will be nailed? Looks a talent, no doubt.

        First 8 for Martinez/McCarthy is SHU, ful, WBA, lei, LEE, SOU, NEW, BRI - not bad, no?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I ran it across the season and couldn't see the added value in the extra 0.5 vs the frustration of benched points it would bring and I don't think how Southampton set up is conducive to McCarthy getting many hauls.

          Podence isn't nailed but that is the risk you take at that price and if plays the fixtures from GW3 onwards you have yourself a bargain.

          1. Warby84
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            He could do well vs city (on the break) aswell so I’m tempted

          2. Catastrophe
            • 13 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Team isn't in great shape... doubling down on Spurs was a terrible idea in hindsight. Should I be patient and give Kane another chance, or do Kane & Douglas > Martial & Digne (-4)

    McCarthy
    TAA, Taylor, KWP
    Auba (c), Son, Havertz, ASM
    Wilson, Kane, Werner

    (Nyland, Reed, Douglas, Vinagre)

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would usually say no to hits but I would fancy Martial and Digne to score 4 more than Taylor and Kane this week.

      1. fakelund
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm the same, not a fan of hits if I can avoid them, but... this is tempting

    2. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kane to martial and son to Bruno work?

      1. fakelund
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It does, but my defence needs sorting out really

        1. n-doggg
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I’d make the transfers that will get you the most points. Defence can wait as not looking too bad

    3. Aubamewho
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd keep kane this GW then do that plan GW3

  12. corderz

    Vinagre out for a hit or just ride the price drop?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      I'm holding, but it kind of depends who your other defenders are?

      1. corderz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        TAA Robbo Justin Mitchell

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Ride it out then

          1. corderz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I know I'm ok defence wise, just don't want to be stuck with a 4.4 defender

            1. Miguel Sanchez
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Options will emerge, Saliba might start playing at Arsenal and costs 4.4 now

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Yeah, as above, I think you can hold then.

          1. fr3d
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            You trying to upgrade to Saiss?

              • 14 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I think so mate, but I'll prob do it next week, hopefully for free.

    2. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Considering this as well I’m really torn don’t want a 4.4 defender in my squad.

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, but at the same time, losing 4 points isn't ideal is it, and I'm sure you'll make money on others this weekend which will balance it out?

    3. Dirtymeercat666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably ride it out, rest of your defence looks ok

  13. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Interesting comments on Justin in the above article. At 4.5 probably just looking at clean sheet points and anything above is a bonus.

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Make hay while you can. When’s periera back?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Prob next month so should get those 3 tasty home games from Justin.

  14. Twisted Melon
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Keep Willian for Arsenals difficult fixtures?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah - Arsenal have done well recently in big games

    2. Dirtymeercat666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, if you’ve already got him you might as well keep for the foreseeable

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No. Too many good options elsewhere

    4. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bit of pepe/saka rotation risk?

    Martinez
    Trent Taylor Lamptey/Saiss Ferguson
    Salah Sterling Rodriguez Klich/Pod? /Biss
    Werner Martial Wilson

    Prioritise up top with Wilson Werner Martial
    Or
    Sacrifice up top to improve defence (Brewster/Digne)

    1. Dirtymeercat666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Prefer what you’ve already got. Lovely front line

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Pod or Klich?

        1. Dirtymeercat666
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Tough. I like pod but Klich more nailed and on penos so maybe more safe to go with him

          1. Warby84
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I’ll stick w/ Klich for Fulham and can always move to Podence for their improved fixtures.. I also plan to hold Salah (price increase) overnight and maybe move to auba (C), risky??

            1. Dirtymeercat666
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I don’t think I’d bother. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t expect much from Auba, salah could match him, especially with the form he’s in

  16. AandyzZ
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son gonna drop tonight?

    Digne rise?

    1. Dirtymeercat666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly!

  17. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    @avfc82 do you have sterling? Or plan on getting him in?

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's either him or KDB in for Aubameyang next week, will decide after Monday's game.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The scheduling is horrible here. If the prices are unlocked after the deadline for GW2, Auba plays on Saturday but City are on Monday. That means if you want to beat the price rises, you have to make an Auba-out transfer before City play. So how do you know whether to go for KDB or Sterling? I don't like it!

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Ignore the price rise is what I'll do, no way am I transferring him in before he plays.

          1. Warby84
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Is it not worth a punt, as many are taking a few risks on United assets surely it’s no different to city assets?

              What I mean is I won't bring either KDB or Sterling in on Saturday or Sunday, even if their price is on the rise. I'll wait for Monday's game, then decide.

              United point is completely different to what I'm saying here.

                Same here. With the 0.5m difference by selling Auba, I'd rather take the 0.1-0.2 loss than choose the wrong Citizen.

                Ok I’m on WC so maybe a different approach..

                  Ahh, yeah that's different then.

          I’m not sure sterling will rise but I’m pretty sure Kev will...

    Hi Guys

    Klich or Trosard in this gameweek?

    Thanks!

    Someone tell me Richarlison won't score a brace vs the Baggies tomorrow and my life would be so much easier.

    1. Dirtymeercat666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think he will. I desperately want him in but it would mean doing an 8 point hit

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Got to go with my gut on this one if I think he will do well just have him from the off.

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He hasn't scored a brace for about a year, if that helps!

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        How do you think he will get on tomorrow though?

        Barnes had a lot of joy down the Baggies right hand side and Rich had a lot of shots vs Spurs from that flank.

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, I think he'll do well.

          Sorry, prob not what you want to here!

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            No it's fine, got to go with your gut. Still have a balanced WC with him in it.

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think he will, sorry mate

    4. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      His shooting ability is worse than Harvey Barnes imo so unlikely

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It looked that way last weekend but last season his shooting accuracy and goal conversion was almost identical to Raul Jimenez who is seen to be pretty reliable/consistent.

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Oh dear we are in trouble then. I have DCL over him.

      2. Flaming Flamingo
        • 7 Years

        Let's not get crazy

  20. Gazpilicueta
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Leeds defenders vs Mitrovic

    if you have both, would you bench one? at the moment im leaning towards benching Mitro..... what say ye?

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd start the Leeds defender.

  21. SOTHPAW
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    He won't score a brace. It will be a hatrick.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Is that intened for me?

      1. SOTHPAW
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Haha yeah, reply fail. I think he will haul.

  22. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) Martial, JRod
    Or
    B) Rashford, DCL

    1. Dirtymeercat666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Close but I prefer first option

    2. Tree House
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A for me

  23. FPL Tikka
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is Son's price likely to drop tonight? What is the way place to go to find this out?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Almost certainly

    2. FPL Tikka
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks, it would be great if someone made a Predicted rise/falls Twitter for the lazy amongst us 🙂

  24. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    is Kane & Pereira to any of the below worth a hit?

    A Martial & James Rodriguez
    B Bruno & Watkins

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes both of them

  25. DunkinDonuts
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best 5.5 or below mid in the game?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Harrison or Podence

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        is Podence prudence ?

    2. Dirtymeercat666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Doucouré, pod, Klich?

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Doucoure or Podence

      One nailed, one higher potential

    4. DunkinDonuts
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence isn't nailed though, which is a problem

  26. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    so, o/ who has taken a hit

    o/ 🙂

    2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’ve promised myself I’ll be saving transfers as much as possible, and I think it’ll be better for me tbh.
      I always seemed to take hits to get rid of players who would then score plenty of points. Only taking hits if absolutely necessary

      Me

  27. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Been debating Salah to Sterling all week, had resolved to save the transfer but this article is making me question myself again. Hmm.

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for this GW and see how Sterling looks

      1. Dirtymeercat666
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I agree we above

      2. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This is definitely the sensible approach, I guess I'm just allowing myself to fantasise about Sterling starting the season on fire like he did last season (and at the restart). Probably what I needed to hear though, thanks.

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't get rid of Salah even for Sterling

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think if his numbers hadn't been so outrageous in GW1 I'd do it but it's probably too risky.

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’d wait.

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It's the percentage play for sure, thanks.

  28. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Am I GTG?
    Ramsdale
    TAA,Dier,KWP
    Salah,Auba,Havertz,Barnes
    Mitrovic,Werner,Adams

    Fabri, Taylor,Mitchell,Bissouma

    Thanks

      Ok for this week

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Can’t wait for the gw3 wildcard 🙂

  29. andrinho
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    62 points. Any transfers needed?

    Ramsdale (McCarthy)

    TAA Tierney Taylor (KWP) (Mitchell)

    Auba Salah Soucek Son (Bissouma)

    Werner Adams Wilson

    ————————————————-

    Only real transfer I was thinking was Adams -> Watkins or save the FT for Martial &/Bruno next week.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Save

    2. wheato
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Save

    3. Dirtymeercat666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Save

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son & Adams to James Rodriguez & DC-L ... don’t wait for the chance to pass by

  30. SOTHPAW
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Does anyone know if the player prices for the 4 teams that didn't play gw1 are currently locked?

    1. wheato
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nobody knows

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      They seem to be. Would be a bit sh*tty of them to let KDB and Bruno go up tonight now, but who knows.

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think so. Not only did kdb martial bruno not rise but wesley and mings from villa didn't fall either
