Three Sky Sports Fantasy Football differentials for Double Gameweek 25

The business end is in sight for Sky Sports Fantasy Football managers as we enter the final third of 2020/21.

Here are three relatively low-owned picks for the upcoming Double Gameweek and beyond.

Harvey Barnes – £8.2m

Harvey Barnes has racked up 27 points from his last two fixtures, scoring twice, assisting a goal and earning a Man of the Match award in both games against Liverpool and Aston Villa.

Only two per cent of the top 1,000 players in the game have recruited the future England international, so he could be a potential steal and a differential at £8.2m. He has found the net on nine occasions this season, with four assists to his name.

Put these figures into Fantasy Football points and it translates to 143. For context, this is just two points behind Manchester City high-flyer Ilkay Gundogan (£8.2m) and it places Barnes third in the midfielder charts this campaign. If you are jumping off Leeds or Brighton players, this is one of the leading value-for-money candidates to consider.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin – £9.3m

Calvert-Lewin offsets longest goalless streak with another Fantasy assist

The Everton striker is back amongst our thoughts and considerations, having come off the bench to play a superb cameo in Everton’s win at Anfield in the Merseyside derby, winning a penalty and earning an assist in the process.

It was his first appearance in three after a period out injured, before which he netted in consecutive matches against Leeds and Manchester United. The Fantasy Football returns may come hand in hand with his comeback.

We must not forget that the England forward has scored 13 Premier League goals this season. Despite this, he is in just 0.3 per cent of the top 1,000 teams, with an individual gameday coming up against Southampton on Monday. His ownership should increase anywhere between the five and 10 per cent mark by this time next week.

Timo Werner – £11.1m

Gameweek 9 Scout Picks built on Chelsea and Everton attacking double-ups 1

Ahead of the Southampton fixture on Saturday, Timo Werner had registered 31 points from his last four matches, which included a goal alongside three assists. It is easy to forget that he has supplied eight goals this term, on top of the five that he has scored.

After Chelsea navigate their way through tricky clashes with Manchester United and Liverpool in quick succession, there is some light at the end of the tunnel with Everton, Leeds, West Brom, Crystal Palace, Brighton, West Ham and Fulham all to follow.

Similar to Calvert-Lewin, Werner’s selection percentage (currently in just 2.2 per cent of the top 1,000 teams) will increase quite drastically.

    Hi all,

    Was all set on transfers this week until Gundogan played 90 mins mid week.

    Worth upgrading to KDB.

    Also, do we think Mitchel will play any of the games or will it be PVA/EZE?

    1. kUwe Inc.

      Lol...adding more question mark. On similar situation though, now I’m thinking to WC instead of BB to get the solid 11 DGW player. Already on -8 but with McCarthy, Soucek, Mitchell in the team.

      1. Heiro
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Gotta think about 29 as well. Not many games in that.
        Just gonna do Ings to Kane I think.

        1. FantasyClub
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It’s 4 home games for city in 2 GW’s. Can’t exactly ignore that either.

    2. FantasyClub
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly my dilemma. If he’s worth upgrading or not. Or just bring KDB along side. I don’t see Pep going without Gundogan but surely his minutes will be managed

      1. Heiro
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Alongside is tough if you want Kane as well. Son won't move and neither will Salah and Bruno

        1. FantasyClub
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I don’t have Salah. But I can have Kane and KDB. I already have Son and Bruno also.

        2. FantasyClub
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I don’t really care for Salah. Way too expensive for what he’s producing.

          1. Heiro
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Absolutely with you there. I just know when I take him out, he scores 3 assists 3 and 3 bonus and my weekend is ruined

            1. FantasyClub
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Hahah, that’s what I thought until I realised I did the right thing.

            2. FantasyClub
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              With SHU injuries in the back though I am a lil worried I have to admit

      Tragic news. After Klopp's mother, the club are getting hit real hard.

  3. InterUranus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    14 DGW players on a BB this week. What could go wrong?

    Areola Guaita
    Shaw Stones Cancelo Konsa Digne
    Salah Bruno Barnes Son Gundogan
    Watkins DCL (Bamford)

    GTG?

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      G2G

    2. Captain_Shirokov
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Big score inbound

  4. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    DCL or Watkins?

    I have no FH and plan to WC GW30.

    I also own Richarlison

    1. Captain_Shirokov
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Depends

      1. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        On?

        1. Captain_Shirokov
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          How you are set for gw29

          1. CrouchDown
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I would have 5 GW29 players then use FT plus 1/2 hits to get 9/10 out

  5. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ings --->

    A) Kane (C)
    B) DCL (Captain Bruno)

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Really depends on your plan for 29, I would be tempted to go dcl but if you want Kane to play in 29 because you don’t have a free hit then that’s different

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        ye I need him for 29

  6. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This is my current team atm: 1FT 1.5ITB

    McCarthy, Forster
    Shaw, Stones, Mee, Tark, Dallas
    Salah, Bruno, Sterling, Son, Raphinha
    Bamford, Watkins, Brewster

    should I WC this? or save for GW30/31? Still Have BB and TC

    1. Heiro
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly Brewster and Forster out and BB?

    2. dshv
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Use tc now..

    3. kUwe Inc.
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not a solid BB team imo esp with those fwd.
      Kane, DCL, Barnes, Digne all could explode and worth a place in BB team

  7. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Digne, Pereira, Cancelo, Dias, Dallas

    Too much money in defence on WC? Definitely want to keep Digne/Pereira/Dallas. One or two will make way for Aina and Brighton defence for GW29.

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      great def line and if the rest of your team is solid then no issue

  8. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Konsa Stones Cancelo
    Salah Son Bruno Gunda Raphina
    Bamford Ings

    Steele Tarkowski Dallas Antonio

    A) Ings and Antonio to Kane and Brewster

    B) Ings and Cancelo to Kane and 3.9m defender

    C) Ings to DCL

    D) Summat else

    Cheers

  9. Lord of Ings

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

          Don't know, just think he will be more subject to rotation

      Not a clue lol

    Morning all,

    Had my best two gameweeks back to back which has seen me move up 390k places in 2 weeks! Happy days!

    How's this team looking for DGW26;

    Pope
    Lowton Cancelo Stones
    Raphina Salah Son Gundo Bruno
    Kane(TC) DCL

    Dallas Coufal

    Nothing worth a hit?

    Not expecting to see a green arrow considering most have WC and then BB.

    Good luck all!

    1. Leelas legs 11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Well done on your green arrows!
      Not sure who your 2nd keeper is but wonder whether Martinez might be a better option?

  12. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    DGW26 FH team. Good to go?

    Pickford
    Dias Shaw Targett
    Salah KDB Gundogan Bruno Barnes
    Kane DCL

    Fabri Mitchell Dunne Davis

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Interesting. I am on FH too. Although i am more tempted to go heavy at the back.

    2. LC1
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Similar to mine.

      Ive gone;

      Ederson
      Dias Shaw Digne Targett
      Salah Bruno Barnes Gundo
      Kane(C) DCL

      V nice team mate.

      1. si
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No way would I pick Gundo Ona free hit. Impossible he starts both. With united up next weekend, that will mean him starting 5 in a row

  13. MarcusAurelius
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Worth doing a -8 to transfer Cancelo + Pereira in for JWP + Alioski?
    (would bench Bamford and Dallas)

    A) Cancelo/Dias + Pereira (-8)
    B) Play Dallas + Bamford

    1. Captain_Shirokov
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B, or maybe just transfer in one

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Cancelo playing 90 minutes 5/6 games, hmmm...

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      Nailed 🙂

  15. THEKID_88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Keep Dallas or get Stones or another defender 5.2m budget?

    Already have Shaw, Konsa & White.

  16. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which Everton defenders are nailed other than Digne?

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m not sure Keane will get rested again after the Fulham performance

  17. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you guys do either of these?

    Mee Ings Bamford >

    (A) Stones Kane DCL (-8)

    (B) Dias Kane Watkins (-8)

    1. FPL flop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes! I did Digne, Kane, DCL in for -12 but 3 DGW players with great fixtures V 3 SGW players with average fixtures!

      1. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers.

        Which would you do?

        1. FPL flop
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Stones didn't play in Europe yesterday, so should start. Dias is the better but more expensive pick long term. Pep will rotate both during the run in especially with CL. Depends what you can do with the cash you save on Stones. I prefer DCL to Watkins.

    2. asdf_1

  18. Heiro
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all,

    Mitchel has two great fixtures but serious question marks over him playing any.

    What does everyone think? Kinda dictates if I do a bench boost or not.

    1. JammySprat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      As a 5th budget def kinda worth keeping hold of and just hope he gets you app points cus Palace aint keeping a cs lol

      1. JammySprat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It wouldn't stop me using BB

  19. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you give TC to DCL (need a little differential) ?

    Or safety to bruno ...

    (Don’t have kane like most of you, just son)

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL

    2. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is Bruno that safe? I don’t really like his fixtures.

      1. Big Hands Barry
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Safe in that your rank is protected as he'll have a monster effective ownership

        1. si
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Fair point.

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I agree I have taken him out till GW30, he got 1 assist in 5 last time his fixtures got tough

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL is a shrewd TC imo

  20. si
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I think the City v United game dictates that City will have their strongest team for that one. I reckon this might mean Mahrez playing both games this DGW. I know it is punty but I need to differential badly here.

    1. JammySprat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good shout, id say he'd get 90+30 at a minimum. Torres not had many minutes but looks like just a bench option.

      1. si
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I can see players like Sterling, Cancelo that have started so many big away games in the past week getting some real rest time this week before the United game. Zinchenko another that could easily start both games this week?

        1. JammySprat
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Highly doubt Zinc plays both. Walker is too good to be getting as much rest as he is but Cancelo is vital to how they are playng atm and he will want to continue his momentum.

          WHU are top 4 form this season so will likely rest Cancelo in that one where might have more threat and play zinc and walker then against WOL who will play deep Cancelo come back in to unlock.

          Front line is always a gamble but using the logic above I would think the speedsters play WHU (Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez) and tight area players play WOL (Foden, Bilva, Gundo). If had to choose one I agree with you Mahrez great differential likely to play both.

  21. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Current team after a -8:
    Martinez Forster
    Dias Stones Maguire Digne Cresswell
    Salah Bruno Gundo Barnes Raphinha
    Kane Watkins Bamford

    would you wildcard to this instead?
    Martinez Fabri
    Keane Struijk White Konsa Dias
    Barnes Salah KDB Bruno Raphinha
    Kane DCL Brewster

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why switch the players about in the comparison

      I prefer the -8

    2. JammySprat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Seems like a wasted WC other than the 8 points

  22. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Still don't know who I should captain.. I'm 100pts ahead in one ML(he has Kane and Bruno, as I do) and 50pts in my other ML(he only has Bruno). I'm going to BB this GW, not sure those 2 are going to, maybe the guy that is 50pts behind me. C is on Kane atm, but maybe Bruno is better/safer?

    1. JammySprat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't worry about them yet, too long in the season left. Go with who you think scores more.

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Okay thanks, guess you are right. Kane it is.

        1. JammySprat
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Your decisions have gotten you a big lead ahead of theirs, why change it 😀

          1. JBG
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Again you are right, but I feel I'm starting to get complacent so my decision making isn't as thought out as it was at the start when it was closer :/. I'm using world ranking as a incentive to push ahead.

    2. Jet5605
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno has tougher games and after Spurs display last night i have a bit more faith in Kane delivering

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I see what you mean, hopefully Kane doesn't disappoint this time around.

  23. Netters2018
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Really confused what to do strat wise have all chips remaining (no wildcard) Have just made my transfer ings to dcl Ederson
    Shaw, Rudiger, Dier, Targett
    Bruno Gundogan Salah Barnes
    DCL, Kane
    Bench Areola, Raph, Dallas, Bamford

    Do i
    A) Dallas to Digne for -4, play bench boost and fh in gw29 and hope that everton have a double ge in 28.
    B) Leave as is and use my TC on Kane/DCL and navigate gw29 without using FH?

    Thanks

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. JammySprat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You're poised to go any direct really. This is best week to BB regardless of your investment in Leeds (who paid off).

      1. Netters2018
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What do you think of gw30 for a Bb and use the 3 leeds against sheff utd at home? Would mean areola only having the 1 game though?

        1. JammySprat
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Well it wouldn't be those players you'd be boosting in 30 if that's there fixture would it? who would be on your bench? I'd be pretty sure this week is the best just for the extra keeper fixture.

          1. Netters2018
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Good point! Think i will take the -4 and BB with 13 dgws + raph and bamf!

  24. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Morning, is Digne the only Everton defender worth considering? Coleman and Holgate are cheaper but less likely to get attacking returns. Or are Everton more likely to get cleanies after the one at Anfield?

  25. asdf_1
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is pickford safe or is there a chance olsen plays in 26?

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      safe

    8 players is enough for gw29 or have to bring somehow 9 ?

      Think 6 will be enough. 2 villa, 2 spurs, 2 leeds/fulham Maybe 1 brighton def

    My team for this week right now is:

    Ederson
    Dias, Lindelof, Digne
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Gundo, Raphinha Bamford, DCL

    Meslier, Antonio, Holding, Pieters

    I used my free transfer to get DCL. I have serious fomo going without Kane, but I can't fit him in without doing a -8 and dropping someone like Salah.

    Stick with it and hope for the best?

    Potential GW26 BB

    Martinez Pope
    Cancelo Dias Shaw Dunk Mee
    Salah Son Gundogan Raphinha Jorginho
    Vardy Kane (c) Calvert-Lewin

    On a -8, anything worth a -12? Mee to Targett/Konsa?
