Spot the Differential

Jesus still offers reliable differential potential ahead of FPL Gameweek 3

After a disappointing start in Gameweek 1, we’re back on track having tipped Timothy Castagne (£5.6m) and Raheem Sterling (11.5m) last week.

This time, we’ve selected three differentials who are already off the mark this season, including two forwards who hit double figures last term, and a midfielder who we think is a viable alternative to community favourites Daniel Podence (£5.6m) and Phil Foden (£6.5m), without the rotation worries.

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

Gabriel Jesus

  • FPL ownership: 3.0%
  • Price: £9.5m
  • GW3-7 fixtures: LEI | lee | ARS | whu | shu

With Sergio Agüero (£10.4m) still recovering from a knee injury, Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) looks set for an extended run in Manchester City’s starting XI, which hands FPL managers a potentially explosive differential option.

Having undergone knee surgery back in June, Pep Guardiola confirmed last week that Agüero is yet to train with his team-mates and will require longer than other players to get back up to speed – potentially up to two months.

In his absence, Jesus will most likely be tasked with leading the line, and his statistics from last season highlight just how influential he can be. 

His 101 shots, 92 of which arrived inside the box, and 34 big chances ranked second amongst all forwards, while of those who played a significant number of minutes, only Agüero could improve on his 0.78 expected goals (xG) per90. Despite, at times, being wasteful in front of goal, it demonstrates his ability to consistently get into good shooting positions.

Jesus was on the scoresheet in Manchester City’s first match of the season in Gameweek 2, as he returned deep into injury time in a 3-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Interestingly, Guardiola paired Rodri (5.5m) and Fernandinho (5.5m) up at the base of his midfield, with Foden, Kevin De Bruyne (£11.6m), Sterling and Jesus in front in a flexible 4-2-3-1, and it worked rather well. The Brazilian’s link up play, work rate and physicality stood out, while his two shots in the box matched that of Foden and De Bruyne.

Currently owned by just 3.0% of FPL managers, Jesus is a big differential who can provide a medium-term solution till Agüero returns from injury.

Matheus Pereira

  • FPL ownership: 2.5%
  • Price: £6.0m
  • GW3-7 fixtures: CHE | sou | BUR | bha | ful

Matheus Pereira (£6.0m) lit up the Championship last season, and finished the campaign with a total of eight goals and 16 assists.

116 chances created – more than any other player – and 111 shots over 42 appearances highlights his importance, but how will he fare in the Premier League?

Well, so far, pretty well, and it’s been a testing couple of weeks for newcomers West Bromwich Albion.

Already, Pereira has been involved in both of his side’s goals. He provided an assist for Grady Diangana’s (£5.5m) opener against Everton and also scored a superb free-kick in the same match. He also leads the way amongst team-mates for shots, chances created, final-third touches and take-ons, while offering multiple routes to points via set-pieces.

Last season, as the standout player in Albion’s attack, Pereira operated either as a number 10 in a 4-2-3-1 or out wide in a 4-3-3. However, this season, manager Slaven Bilić has mainly, and somewhat surprisingly, opted to use a back three system, which has seen the playmaker drift infield from his starting position on the right, with wing-back Daniel Furlong (£4.5m) offering width down that side. Whether or not this is a long-term solution, or simply to combat tough opposition, time will tell.

A Gameweek 3 home encounter at home to Chelsea is followed by a promising run of fixtures which sees the Baggies take on Southampton, Burnley, Brighton and Hove Albion and Fulham, and while this weekend’s matchup isn’t ideal, it’s worth pointing out the Blues have given up more chances down their left-side than any other zone in the opening two Gameweeks.

The likelihood is that West Brom will struggle this season, but if they can get Pereira on the ball often enough, they’re sure to create chances and score goals.

Chris Wood

using-the-top-10000-ownership-to-increase-your-fpl-rank-andys-article 7
  • FPL ownership: 2.2%
  • Price: £6.5m
  • GW3-7 fixtures: SOU | new | wba | TOT | CHE

2019/20 was the third season in a row that Chris Wood (£6.5m) has scored double figures in the Premier League.

The focal point of Burnley’s attack hit 14 goals in 29 starts, while only three forwards in the entire division registered more than his 31 big chances.

What’s particularly impressive is that he accumulated those numbers off of a modest 65 shots on goal, of which 41 arrived at Turf Moor, where he thrived and scored 64% of his goals.

Having finished the season strongly with goals in each of his last three appearances, Wood has continued from where he left off, as he found the back of the net in The Clarets’ first match of the season at Leicester City, logging three shots in the box and a further two big chances.

Burnley’s tenth placed finish last term possibly hasn’t been talked about enough. After a run of four defeats around the New Year, they lost just twice in 16 games, one of which was against Manchester City, and the other on the final day of the season.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Wood could find some joy against Southampton if they continue with their high defensive line. The 28-year-old loves to operate on the shoulder of the last man in an attempt to stretch the game. It resulted him in being caught offside more times than any other player last season, which is something he discussed in a recent interview with The Athletic: “It really doesn’t bother me, getting caught offside, because I know that the one time that I don’t, I’ll be in on goal.”

The closer Wood is to goal, the more dangerous he becomes, and ahead of a home tie against a vulnerable Saints defence, is a tempting differential.

        To be fair, they're prolly better off without their manager. But yeh, nah. Wolves will tear them a new one.

      Honestly, I'm loding up on Wolves and sense there'll be an inevitable upset

      Wolves to win but Soucek to score

    5. Warby84

      0-2 wolves...

    Just C KDB and have a good VC. If he doesn't play City aren't ass effective anyhow so wouldn't be too worried not having City cover for one week only.

    1. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      But will foden start? That is the question

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

        If you ask that question you're better off not having him tbh

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          In other words his ownership should be 0%?

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

            No? Just that if you're worried about rotation, you're better off picking a guy like Chris Wood.

          Pep roulette the age old issue. But they have no options so I think he'll start, for now at least

      2. Baron Penguin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm going to play a 3-4-3 with two decent defenders on the bench if Foden no-shows. I'll take a one pointer on the chin if it happens.

        1. Von Lipwig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          This. But hopefully he plays and scores a hatrick or two

        LOUD NOISES

        Personally think you've squeezed in too many mid priced players and your def is weaker for it in the long term

        Great, if a bit template. (But with the wealth if options this early, not sure there really is a template). Podence and adams the weaknesses I reckon

        • 14 Years

        Very easy to read and looks good.
        Have one Chelsea's Liverpool Wolves and Spurs key players. Adams, Martinez, Saiss and Podence could be bargains.

    2. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty set on Jesus and Jimenez, so one striker spot left. I'm still reserving judgement on Werner, not convinced DCL can keep up his output and same for Richarlison. Want to see more of Man Utd before going on on Tony. So I'm personally down to two 'proven' FPL assets with reasonable fixtures.... drum roll...

      1. Ings
      2. Wood

      Thoughts?

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

        Ings - no cup fixtures til January so should play 90 mins most weeks

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Ings all day long, not the sexiest option but a striker on form, his team create chances and try to attack + now he has pens too

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

          Wood has three great fixtures - would go Wood if happy to swap in a few weeks, Ings if longer term. Big price difference though...

          DeB 19.6%
          Werner 16
          Salah 11

        Tinkering with the final 2 spots which is never a good sign
        A) Werner + Barnes/Zaha
        B) Richarlison + Havertz

          Werner + Barnes for me

          As long as Reece plays well, no.

        2. Pukki Blinders

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

          Yes. When Lampard spoke about him a few days ago it did not sound like he was now a permanent understudy. It's possible he is still reaching match fitness and will displace James even. But I expect rotation around UCL and James, for now, to continue at rb.

        4. PapaWengzz

          No

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Don’t be averse to hits early in the season to jump on bandwagons and build value. I’ve opted for the following -8 this week:

        Auba, Adams, Davies > Son, Jimenez, Saiss

        May not pay off in isolation this week, however, over the next 4-5 GW’s I expect it to pay off handsomely. Also gives me more options next week for additional transfers in future GW’s and WC still at my disposal. Eg) Werner > Jesus next week without having to worry about other issues in the team

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

          Thoughts on Martial to Jesus (-4) given that a price drop for Tony will force me out of the move without a hit elsewhere next GW

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah my hit last week to protect value worked a treat.
          Kane + Son > Bruno + Martial saved me 0.1m and only cost me 45 points in total

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

            That's awful mate, I'm sorry. Price changes really are annoying.

          2. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Can’t be taking out good players before great fixtures, despite price drops. That’s not the point of my post

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              No one in any respectable football media thought spurs would turn it around. I agreed. We were wrong but I wouldn’t have done any different and I only made the move because son was dropping

        3. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years

          Think one of those could’ve waited till next for free

            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Why? Davies likely to be benched. Auba to Son is a no brainer and Jimenez to comfortably outscore Che. As I said if not this week, they will pay off very shortly and gives me much more flexibility with my transfers moving forwards

              Agreed FFS gave Andy Mears the leg up. He is a name and brand now though. Has improved beyond recognition in his presenting and delivery - does good little snippets of info. His live streams are not the best would be much improved if he got callers like elite fpl.

              WGTA is one that have interesting angles. Got to be honest not a fan of FPL FML they sound like a stoned Bill and Ted loads of slang and half asleep. Not for me.

            Ya fair play if you jumped on early but i needed a couple of days to assess and then just felt it was too late and wouldn't know who to go with. Fresh off the Son to Rashford catastrophe, it would be typical of me to lose Werner and him bang a hatty v WB lol

              Unlucky on Son/Rashford once in a decade thing. Fortunately my gw1 team would have done nothing and gained 40 points on WC. Got jammy on Martinez as well.
              This week I am worried no Chelsea your Werner pick could have you laughing, If was on WC would keep for sure.

          1.5m value swimg and great setup is nice to have

            Very nice....but value aside i wouldn't want to WC and end up with a team i dislike after a couple of GWs. Utd could easily do a Spurs this week after a terrible first GW. Che could batter WB and Spurs and Eve could do nothing. Each to their own but will wait for more data and fixture swings to pull the trigger.

            All the best with it anyway mate.

        Hodgson on Mitchell:
        "Aaron [Wan-Bissaka] looked very much like Tyrick when he came in and took the game by storm, and he made the position his own very quickly.

        "I wouldn't disagree that in terms of being thrown in with no-one knowing much about him, I think there's a direct parallel between the two players."

        Might not be a simple case of PVA taking the LB spot back the moment he's fit.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He should play PVA on the wing

      13. Ranger3

        Egans(suspended) to Reece James for a hit ? Or play Justin ?

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

          Only take a hit if it's a move you like over the long term

          1. Ranger3
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yes would be good for the long term but scared that Azpi plays sometimes

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

          Would actually go James for a hit in this case

          • 11 Years

          Play Justin, Lei have a good fixture next week and he may give attacking points

          1. Ranger3
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Not going to transfer justin out

              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Yes you are right, so take the hit, Egan's price will probably drop at some point.

        First question this season:

        A Jesus + Wood
        B Jimmy + DCL

        On WC so this would be a set and forget setup up top

          I think Greenwood is being criminally overlooked and will be a first team fixture going forward. His goal scoring record last season, given that he only broke into the team in the tail end, was incredible.

          That said, I'd go James. Lovely fixtures and he will be central to all our attacking play.

        WC squad folks :

        Martinez / 4m
        Vvd James Saiss Lamptey Mitchell
        Salah KDB Havertz Son Podence
        Jimenez DCL Brewster

        Thoughts?

        1. Pukki Blinders

          Havertz? Wow

              • 13 Years

              Could be a good differential once the other mids are back

              • 4 Years

              Not up to speed with the PL yet...a hattrick against a struggling championship side doesn’t change much from post-Liverpool match

        2. DannyDrinkVodka
          • 4 Years

          You’ve got my WC squad exactly, I like it.....(except I’ve got Ings over Jimenez). I am going back and forth though on upgrading to Jesus and taking James out.

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

          Havertz > Hames, VVD> Taa

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

          Nice squad. Tough to pick which of Havertz / Werner but think you have to have 1 for short term fixtures. Only other thing you might miss is another pool def as fixtures are nice after this weekend, but you can't have them all and no obvious person to take out.

          Keep an eye on this Jesus injury news too.

        Salah KDB Son Zaha (burke)

                Yeah, they've improved over the last two, but it's a pretty small sample size, and they were the worst team in the league during Project Restart.

        2. PapaWengzz

      27. Kuzser

        What's the best combo to complete WC?

        1) Robbo - Son Zaha Podence - Werner
        2) Robbo - Foden Zaha - Werner Jimenez
        3) TAA - Son Foden Podence - Werner
        4) TAA - Son Podence - Wood Werner

        Martinez
        TAA - Saiss - Taylor
        KdB - Salah - XXX - XXX
        Dcl - XXX - XXX

        Bench: Justin Mitchell, Burke/Brewster, 4.0
