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.

    Guys which one do you suggest for bench boost -
    1. Ings -> DCL
    2. 4.0 -> Areola

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

      both?

    2. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      shouldnt bench boost if we know there is a player not playing...

        Thank u guys

    I would love for Grealish to be fit. Maybe I'm just being stupidly optimistic, but I think there's a chance. If he does indeed have shin splints and no stress fracture, he could be fit in time.

    Would be so good to punish the sellers with a DGW of lee/shu. Also saves me a transfer and gives me an extra player for GW29.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. If he's not fit, I'll just bench him and play Bamford instead.

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

        I'm bench boosting :/

        If he's not fit I'm gonna get Barnes instead. It costs me an additional -4 now and to buy Grealish back in 28 but certainly worth it if Grealish is out for a while.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. I think you'll be selling tbh, Smith obviously won't give anything away in the press conference which is annoying.

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would too - Ings to Watkins feels like the best move, but only if Grealish is fit!

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

        Do you have DCL? Ings > DCL is the obvious move.

        If you already have then yeah Watkins is great. He's probably still worth it even with Grealish out. That DGW is really nice - lee/shu. And Watkins has a potential DGW in 28 and a game in 29.

        I'm 90% sure I'm buying him regardless of Grealish's fitness.

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Already have DCL. Trying to get up to Kane but it's just not possible.
          Leaning towards
          Mee to Targett or
          Ings to Watkins/Richarlison

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

      The question is he will be out for 1 or more matches only.

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

        I'm selling if he's out even a single match.

    4. Ian Davis
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Shin splints take weeks to recover, he definitely won’t play vs Leeds. I’m a Villa fan so I hope I’m wrong!

  3. RamaJama

    With salah so low down on the captaincy poll, his damage will be limited,

    currently trying to convince myself to go KDB over over salah on WC

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

      Go for Kevin.

    2. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve opted for KDB over Salah on my wildcard! So probably the wrong thing to do haha!!

  7. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed:
    Best replacement for Mee - ideally to play in 29
    A) Targett/Konsa
    B) Dier
    C) Dunk
    D) Shaw

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Targett

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      Targett

    3. waltzingmatildas

      Cheers guys

  8. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Pick one:

    A) Maja (Dbl) + Raphinha + Vestergaard
    B) Bamford + Jorginho (Dbl) + Vestergaard
    C) Bamford + Raphinha + Mitchell (Dbl)

    1. waltzingmatildas

      Hmm tough, A

    2. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

  9. ZAMUNDA
    • 7 Years

    Is Mee to Digne/Pereira worth a -4 hit?

    1. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would say so yes. Either

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think so

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

    4. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, Ricardo.

  10. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson on penalties please!!

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pep told him to get back last time he started towards the other side of the pitch

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He also wasn't happy with Rodri taking it so it's hard to know who's next, how many now have missed at least 1?

        Gundo
        KDB
        Aguero
        Jesus
        Mahrez
        Sterling

        Silva or Foden next if not Ederson?

      2. Mufc202020
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Did Pep actually tell him to get back? It was that just B Silva??

  11. StevenW
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ings to DCL is the move right?

    WC last week, not sure why I went with Alonso, trash fixtures & no BB.

    1ft
    Martinez (Fodder)
    Cancelo, Shaw, Dias (Alonso, Dallas)
    Salah, Bruno, Barnes, Gundo (Raph)
    Kane TC, Watkins, Ings / DCL*

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes looks good

  12. Kudo Warrior
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    For those of you unsure of how Barnes will do with Maddison out i'd advise reading both FPLFoxy and BigmanBakars Twitter breakdowns:

    Foxy: https://twitter.com/FplFoxy/status/1364668624498286598

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Im getting both Barnes and Vardy.

      Vardy subject to mins played tonight.

    2. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It means?

  13. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Raph or Bam?

    Currently on Bam but the more i think of it maybe Raph is the way to go?

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

      Raph

    2. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going Raph

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

    Replace Coufal with a double up on Villa def or take a punt on spurs? Surely at least 1 CS for spurs!

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If I knew who would start for Spurs I would. Leaning towards Targett

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

        Dier seems a safe but unexciting choice?

  15. Notorjus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A, B or C?

    A. Mee to Reguilon for free
    B. Mee to Digne (-4)
    C. Bamford to DCL (-4)

    Cheers.

    1. Nedvěd11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What is the 2nd transfer on B & C?

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

        Johnstone to non playing GK, have Martinez

    2. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A. Keep Bamford. Hit for defender even though in a DGW not for me

  16. Harmonica1967
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Worth a -8 for the following moves? Would then BB this week, with 12 players on doubles.

    Ings, Foden, Pieters to Watkins, Barnes, Keane/Evans

    Team would be:

    Martinez
    Cancelo, Keane/Evans, Rudiger, Targett
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Barnes, Gundo
    DCL

    Meslier, Watkins, Bamford, Cresswell

  17. poulteren
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bamford to DCL and dallas to Strujk for -8?

    Y or N please

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      N

      1. poulteren
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        thank you. My gut says no but my rivals may have him

  18. Fantasy Pig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is a -12 for a bench boost too much?

    Coufal, Ings, Raphinha, 3.8 fodder -> DCL, Digne, Pereira, Barnes

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

      Not too much for those changes. All you would keep after DGW.

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

        Thanks!

  19. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Lowton
    Grealish* Salah Bruno Gundo
    DCL Kane Bamford
    Pope - Raphinha - Dallas -Coufal
    0.9itb 0ft

    Already made an early move and likely TC Kane, with WC after BGW29. Anything worth changing here with Grealish the main concern?
    A. Hold and let a Leeds player come in if needs be.
    B. Grealish to Barnes/Traore (-4)
    C. Lowton to defender (up to 5.4) (-4)

  20. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Got that team for a hit, GTG? Maybe TC?

    Or play Bam over Raph?

    Martinez
    Cancelo/Stones/Tarko
    Salah/Bruno/Barnes/Gundo/Raph
    Kane/DCL

    Martin/Bamford/Dallas/Coufal

    1. RamboRN
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Exact same team as me apart from i have Lowton over tarko. I think between raph and bamford its quite close, raph arguably on better for but bamford on pens, I am currently playing bamford but could change my mind haha.

  21. FPL price manipulators are …

    I have already took a -4. Is it worth doing another-4 swapping Lowton to digne?

    1. Tonyawesome69

      Prob no

    Anyone else loving Fulham's fixtures for attacking returns?

  24. Tonyawesome69

    Bench fodder keeper
    A. Fabri 3.9
    B. Forster 4.0 - gamble the 0.1 in the off chance he replaces McCarthy

    Main GK is Martinez

    1. RamaJama

      B

    2. Camzy

      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A.

      Even if he does replace McCarthy what's the point? You're just gonna play Martinez every week. If Martinez gets injured, you replace him probably with Lloris or something.

    Hola amigos,

    Will GW26 be classified as a February gameweek, or March?

    I ask as we have a manager of the month award in our money league, which I'm clinging onto by a thread!

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Deadline is 27th Feb and should be part of Feb GW for leagues

  26. CarelessGenius©
    • 12 Years

    Worth getting KDB for GW26?
    Will he start both games?

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt he’ll start both but I could be wrong

  27. Nedvěd11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guys,

    Playing BB this round, but should I do -4 for Bam -> Watkins?

    Got

    Martinez, Pickford
    Dunk, Cancelo, Shaw, Dier, Digne
    Bruno, Gundo, Raph, Sterling, Son
    Kane, DCL, Bam

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wait and see for Grealish injury update before getting a Villa player

  28. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Not sure on how many hits, or whether to take hits.

    A) Dallas: effective games from 26-29: 4 (AVL, whu, CHE, ful)
    B) Konsa (-4): effective games from 26-29: 5, possibly 6 (lee, shu, WOL, new, eve?, TOT)
    C) Digne (-8): effective games from 26-29: 4, possibly 5 (SOU, wba, che, BUR, AVL?)
    D) Ricardo Pereira (-8): effective games from 26-29: 4 (ARS, bur, bha, SHU)

    C and D could be a -4 if I get Watkins instead of Kane this week.

  29. Nabs Kebabs

    Bertrand Traore flying under the radar

    1. Nedvěd11
