Spot the Differential

Set-piece duties and three assists in last four warrant DGW32 punt on Moura

Gameweek 32 is almost upon us which gives us an opportunity to have a look at some more differential options.

This time, we’ve selected low-owned picks at Manchester United, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur who we think have the potential to make an impact.

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

Lucas Moura

  • FPL ownership: 2.4%
  • Price: £6.6m
  • GW32-36 fixtures: eve + SOU | – | SHU | lee | WOL

Tottenham Hotspur are the only team who play twice in Double Gameweek 32, as they travel to Goodison Park to take on Everton tomorrow night, before playing Southampton at home on Wednesday.

Loading up on their assets is a no brainer, but if your budget won’t stretch to Son Heung-min (£9.4) or Harry Kane (£11.7m), or if you fancy complementing them with a differential, FPL bosses could do a lot worse than look at Lucas Moura (£6.6m).

Until last month, it felt like another patchy season for the Brazilian, as he struggled to establish himself in the starting XI. However, the 28-year-old has now started nine of the last ten league matches, providing two goals, four assists and 47 FPL points during that time. Interestingly, that’s five more than Son over the same period, and you could argue that along with Kane, he is one of Spurs’ in-form players right now.

Moura’s numbers over the last six Gameweeks are also encouraging. Among team-mates, he ranks second for chances created and joint-third for shots in the box, while no player has touched the ball more often in the final-third. Crucially, he has been taking some corners too, which could yield returns against Everton, who rank third-worst for set-piece attempts conceded over their last six home matches.

Son and Kane remain the stand-out picks in Double Gameweek 32, but Moura continues to be overlooked and could offer real value at just £6.6m.

Jarrod Bowen

  • FPL ownership: 2.3% 
  • Price: £5.9m
  • GW32-36 fixtures: new | CHE | bur | EVE | bha

With Michail Antonio (£6.6m) side-lined with a hamstring injury which could see him miss the remainder of the season, Jarrod Bowen (£5.9m) is impressing in his absence.

The 24-year-old has now scored three goals in as many games, and also provided an assist against Leicester City last time out. 

In his new role as a striker, Bowen has shown he is capable of leading the line by using his pace to make clever runs in behind the opposition’s backline. His partnership with Jesse Lingard (£6.5m) is thriving, and the duo’s movement in recent matches suggests Newcastle’s defenders could be in for a long afternoon on Saturday. It’s also worth noting that the Magpies’ have conceded more goals from counter-attacks than any other side this season, and have kept just one Premier League clean sheet at St James’ Park.

West Ham continued their charge towards Champions League football with a win in Gameweek 31 and most of their remaining matches are against teams currently in the bottom-half. In fact, the home game against Chelsea in Gameweek 33 looks to be the only fixture to be truly wary of.

Though Lingard has stolen the show since arriving in east London, Bowen is stepping up right when the Hammers need him most, and could be an effective differential for the run-in.

Mason Greenwood

How Spurs' FPL assets fared in their final match before Double Gameweek 32
  • FPL ownership: 2.1%
  • Price: £7.0m
  • GW32-36 fixtures: BUR | lee | LIV | avl | LEI

After a difficult start to the season, Mason Greenwood (£7.0m) has now scored three goals in his last four appearances.

The 19-year-old played a decisive role in Manchester United’s 3-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, as he came off the bench and provided a goal and assist.

Tactically, it was an interesting setup, with Paul Pogba (£7.6m) starting as the left-sided player in a 4-2-3-1 formation. However, as the game went on, he and Marcus Rashford (£9.5m), who Greenwood later replaced, took up narrower positions and effectively swung the clash in Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side’s favour.

If Pogba is to continue in a similar, more advanced role, where he has the vision and ability to quickly switch play, United’s right-sided forward stands to benefit most.

Rotation at clubs still involved in Europe is always a concern at this stage of the season, but Greenwood has now started eight of the last ten matches in all competitions, and with Anthony Martial (£8.6m) out injured, more opportunities should come his way.

The number 11’s push for a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the European Championships this summer could be an important factor, too, as he will need to showcase his undoubted talent during the run-in. Encouragingly, the fixtures offer him an opportunity to do exactly that, as the Red Devils now face Burnley, Leeds United and Aston Villa between Gameweek 32 and 35.

Greenwood is one of the Premier League’s brightest young stars, and with an ownership of just 2.1%, is a tempting midfield differential.

      They dont have many attackers to play a front 4. Do they?
      But still Saiss is a risk i think.

      Semedo if you need some attacking threat.

      Hey folks.

      We're aware we've been having some ongoing niggles with the ad setup (as mentioned in previous threads, this was supposed to be a relatively simple swap but has created some unforeseen complications).

      While we're working out the details we will turn off the basement ad shortly which seems to be causing most grief. Hopefully this should solve the issues for the time being. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

      P.S. I would stress in response to a comment below that we are not selling anyone's data.
      P.P.S. I can also vouch for the pizza oven and the massage chair.

        that is my final decision. I can't see either Brighton or Fulham scoring, but my hunch is Fulham are more likely than Brighton... and I can't drop any of the front 7, so I'm sticking with double Chelsea I think.

    Are Kane really a better captain than Son? Tempted to gamble but probably better options down the line. Very risky too I guess

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Kane is having all the shots right now - ignore Son outscoring Kane last GW

      Little in it really

      When one hauls the other almost invariably does too. Son has been outscoring Kane recently when both feature.

        Cheers yeah it’s a good point. To get Salah I would have to take our Son and pencil that in.

    Stones (AVL)
    Cancelo (avl)

      Martinez

      Wow .. I wouldn’t want to start any of those defenders ... but Cancelo and Philips

    What do we think?

    A: Mahrez + Alonso to Lingard + TAA
    or
    B: Mahrez + Bamford to Lingard + Lacazette

    If you already -4 would you sell Cresswell for Coady / Regulion / Shaw or play Dunk v.s Chelsea ?

  25. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Start Watkins or Cresswell?

      watk

  26. StellaMan
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Transfer out Cancelo?
    Tempted by a wolves defender for the run in

  27. Mikey44
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinez
    TAA Shaw Stones
    Salah Fernandes Son Lingard Raphinha
    Kane Iheanacho
    Subs: Fabri Dallas Davies Lascelles

    2m in the bank, already did Iheanacho in for DCL. Is Raphinha to Jota/Greenwood worth a -4?

    Thanks

    never seen a more template midfield this season that it is now
    Bruno / Son / Jota / Lingard / Salah

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      With Kane and Iheanacho up top

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It will change fast as always, I only have 4 of them.

    3. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, that is my midfield. With City/Chels rotation can't see alternatives.

      Whatever gets the points

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      There was already the 'Power 5':

      Salah / KDB / Fernandes / Son / Grealish

      (circa GW11 - GW15 or so)

  29. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Okay 4-4-4 decision finally made - skipping Greenwood or Maddison this time. GL all

    Ederson
    TAA Stones Coady Shaw
    Son Bruno Lingard Jota
    Kane Kane Kane Nacho

    Martinez Raph Watkins Konsa

    (could of course end up with more or less any formation given Stones and Raph)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Good side - tough to fit in Greenwood or Madds

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        The move was to go move off Raph and forget Stones who looks unlikely surely

        Have more flexibility this way next time as I can reach Mo more easily if I change my mind or if he suddenly looks good.

      G2G, looks great! Lots of cheeky differentials in there. Should raise up in rank in absolutely no time. Good luck!

        How you looking this week?

  30. janowsc

    Bring in Cavani or Lacazette along side Nacho and Kane? Cheers

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years

      Like Lacazette, looks like he'll get a good run in the team too. Also on pens.

    2. dillydally1982

      I have the same dilemma, but also considering Vardy as I'm a bit worried about rotation for both Cavani and Lacazette.

      Lacazette comes out on top in terms of stats - https://twitter.com/statsmeister/status/1383037973357326344
