Spot the Differential

Firmino has timed resurgent FPL form to be useful Gameweek 38 differential

Gameweek 38 offers FPL managers a final opportunity to identify a differential to inspire a final push up the rankings.

This time, we’ve selected low-owned picks at Liverpool, Arsenal and West Ham United 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.

Roberto Firmino

  • FPL ownership: 4.9%
  • Price: £9.1m
  • GW38 fixture: CRY

With three goals and an assist in his last four appearances, Roberto Firmino (£9.1m) is an intriguing final day differential.

The Brazilian has had a disappointing campaign by his standards, with his place in Jürgen Klopp’s starting XI threatened by the impact of Diogo Jota (£6.9m). However, he has finally found some form at the business end of the season.

Firmino fed Thiago (£5.5m) to seal Liverpool’s 2-0 victory against Southampton back in Gameweek 34, and has since followed that up with a brace of goals at Manchester United, a part in the equaliser at West Bromwich Albion, plus Wednesday’s opener at Burnley. During that time, he has acquired 27 FPL points, and now sits level alongside Sadio Mané (£11.8m) and Jota on nine Premier League goals, with only Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) scoring more for the Reds.

For a player who contributes so much to Liverpool’s all-round game, it does perhaps seem unfair to criticise him, but purely in FPL terms, he has struggled. In fact, prior to Gameweek 35, he had scored just one goal since Gameweek 14. Despite that, his numbers throughout the season have generally remained good, only his finishing has let him down, which is backed up by his negative 2.62 expected goals (xG) delta. However, such is the impact of confidence and goals on centre-forwards, that total has jumped to +1.77 over the last four Gameweeks.

Barring a huge Leicester City win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, victory at home against Crystal Palace will be enough for Liverpool to secure a top-four finish, and as a result, qualify for next seasons Champions League. With a run of seven wins and two draws in their last nine Premier League matches, it looks like they have got their act together at exactly the right moment, and with Firmino full of confidence, could be set for a big finish.

Nicolas Pépé

  • FPL ownership: 1.7%
  • Price: £7.7m
  • GW38 fixture: BHA

Nicolas Pépé (£7.7m) has been in fine form of late, and is starting to show his quality following his £72m transfer from Lille back in 2019.

It would be fair to say it has taken the 25-year-old a fair bit of time to get going, but with 13 goal involvements in all competitions in 2021, which included a brace against Crystal Palace in Gameweek 37, he is now starting to produce more consistently.

The Ivorian winger’s first on Wednesday night, a lovely cushioned volley after great link-up play between Kieran Tierney (£5.2m) and Bukayo Saka (£5.1m), set Arsenal on their way, while his second late on was a fine solo effort. He ended the match with 55 final-third touches, more than any other player, and was comfortably the best performer on the pitch.  

Those who have been paying attention will know his numbers have been good for a while, though. 

Since the turn of the year, amongst team-mates, he ranks top for penalty area touches and goal attempts in the box, second for shots on target and third for xG. In fact, amongst all midfielders who have played a substantial number of minutes, only Liverpool trio Jota, Salah and Mané, plus Mason Greenwood (£7.3m) and Kai Havertz (£8.3m), can better his 2.29 shots in the box per 90 minutes total. 

The Gunners’ square off against Brighton and Hove Albion in their last Premier League game of the season on Sunday, knowing victory, coupled with rivals Spurs’ and Everton dropping points, would see them finish seventh, and as a result secure a spot in the inaugural Europa Conference League competition.

Pepe has impressed for Arsenal in 2021, and now showing increased consistency and more end-product, could be an effective midfield differential for the final-day.

Saïd Benrahma

  • FPL ownership: 0.3%
  • Price: £5.9m
  • GW38 fixture: SOU

Saïd Benrahma (£5.9m) has been something of a bit-part player at West Ham United this season, but has now produced attacking returns in three of his last four appearances.

The unpredictable Algerian has supplied assists against Burnley and West Bromwich Albion, and also found the back of the net at Brighton with a superb curling finish from the edge of the area.

His attacking numbers during that time have caught the eye, too.

Over the last four Gameweeks, he ranks top amongst team-mates for expected assists (xA), second for chances created and joint-third for shots on target. Meanwhile, amongst all Premier League players who have featured for over 100 minutes during that period, only Gabriel Martinelli (£4.9m) can trump his 0.45 xA per 90 minutes.

However, the real appeal lies in this weekend’s opponents, Southampton. 

As noted by Neale earlier this week, Benrahma has spent a lot of time on the right-flank over the last two matches, and it was from this position that he assisted against West Brom. And if stationed on that side on Sunday, he’ll be up against a Saints team who have conceded the second-highest number of chances from their left over the last six games – a period that has coincided with Ryan Bertrand’s (£5.0m) unavailability and the deployment of centre-halves Mohammed Salisu (£4.3m) and Jack Stephens (£4.6m) as make-shift left-backs.

Motivation shouldn’t be an issue for the Hammers, either, as a single point in Gameweek 38 will be enough for them to seal a place in next seasons Europa League.

Benrahma is a real difference-maker, and could be an explosive mid-price punt for those willing to move away from the midfield template.

          Fair enough!

  2. Ady87

    Need some help please guys. Got an 18 point lead in ML and second is a bit of a maverick, -8 regularly and our teams are quite different so need to know what to do. Here is my squad.

    Johnstone (Pope)
    Dallas Dias Philipps (Stones Coufal)
    Salah Son Lingard Greenwood Raphina
    Kane Bamford (Nacho)

    Rivals differentials:

    Mendy, TAA, Robertson, James, Eze, Antonio, Watkins, Bruno

    He might go for it and take a hit to swap out Eze and Bruno or he might surprise me and just use his bench.

    Who would you bring in? I’d have to take a hit to get Trent or Robertson so is playing Philipps enough? Would a Chelsea defender help me?

    Kane and Son should have wrapped this up for me as he hasn’t owned either!

    1. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      £1.9m ITB btw

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’d take the hit to move Dias or Stones on for Trent

      1. Ady87
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Just realised I can do Dias > Trent for free.

    3. BIG TONES

      2 years, 10 months ago

      You want a nailed first 11. Dias out for LIV def. TAA popular, but robbo was basically left forward in the last match. couple nice crosses and you're on for a 10 pointer

    The algorithm says Kane to Mane and Jota to Bamford and play one of Watkins or DCL.

    My head says play Kane, forget Mane and get Antonio and have practically no bench besides Digne

    Algorymt or my head who wins, what should I do?

    Thanks,

    1. Hy liverpool

    4. beric

    5. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Head, but Bamford over Antonio

    6. mrelpea
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Head,definitely

    7. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years

      Head, and I think Villa win today.

    8. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years

      Don't lose Kane. Last ever game for spurs, golden boot chase and open game vs leicester who need to win big

    9. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Jota to bamford? Interesting algo

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years

        cheers lads

  5. Lacikasz01
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I'm more than right if I keep Ruben Dias on the bench, right? I mean, Pep won't take the risk 6 days ahead of the UCL final imo.

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You’d think not. Who are the other defenders?

      1. Lacikasz01
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Holding, Nat Phillips, Dallas and Fofana...currently planning to start the first 3 of those

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Hmm tough one. Don’t expect much from Holding

          1. Lacikasz01
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I mean yeah, Arsenal will probably concede, but so will Leicester I'd say, so Fof is nothing better imo.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He literally said the opposite but played a pretty full strength team at Brighton.

      Guardiola: "I’m going to put the players out I decide to win the game. We have six days until the final of the Champions League, if one player is injured, unlucky. They can be injured today, tomorrow, the moment you put the boots [on]."

    Currently at 9.5k OR. Unlikely to catch my cash ML leader who is 49pts ahead (I'm 3rd - v. competitive league!) so it is playing for best rank... any of these look good?

    A) Masuaku or Coleman > Robbo
    B) A + DCL > Antonio (-4)
    C) Coufal/Chilwell + Firmino instead (-4)

    1FT 3.1itb
    Mendy
    TAA, Dallas, Shaw*
    Salah, Son, Lingard, Willock, Greenwood*
    Kane, Bamford

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          No he is a very good option but it's about the better combo.. Robbo Antonio better than coufal bobby imo.
          Could be wrong thou.

          1. Don Kloppeone

          • 6 Years

          I think stats are suggesting Firmino is as good a choice as Mane so decent pick but Antonio and Robbo would edge it for me

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years

  7. Tasty Jerk

    Anyone being brave enough to keep and captain Bruno? 🙂

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wolves are solid enough.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      The question is why would ole risk him

      1. Tasty Jerk
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        yep, true. Just 9 points behind leader in my league so need to make my 2 free transfers count - and taking Bruno out feels wrong even though makes sense he should be rested. Just that feeling that Bruno will troll us all 😀

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I have him too, if there are news he is going to start may think about it otherwise him to mane looks good.

    3. One Wheels Enough

      Doubt it, but if it worked a massive greeny...

  8. moz_1983
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    If you're chasing 13 points and both you and your rival own Salah and Bruno, which is best -
    Bruno > Mane

    A) Captain Mane for full differential
    B) Captain Salah and hope just owning Mane will be enough of a differential.

    Rival will probably captain Salah.

    1. One Wheels Enough
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      What if rival gets Mane in...

    2. mrelpea

      B

    3. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Salah and Kane on golden boot duty. Everything will be done by both Spur and Liverpool to feed them, including free kicks , pens etc. Just get Mane and hope that he will get a goal and a couple of assists - Good luck

    A. Son -> Mané (-4). Start Greenwood with Vydra first sub

    B. Vydra -> Bamford (-4). Bench Greenwood. Start Son

    C. Start Son & Greenwood (No hit)

    Sitting at 8k and looking to at least stay there.

    Is Cavani to Aguero a good move?

    Means I have Greenwood in my squad still.

    1. moz_1983
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably yeah.

    2. roghippo
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'm tempted to do the same but going to do Cavani to Nacho, not sure who to start out of Greenwood and Lingard.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lingard.

        On Aguero, Pep has said he'll feature but if not fully fit is that as substitute to say farewell?

    3. mrelpea
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, definitely

  11. One Wheels Enough
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    3 pts behind leader who has Bamford.

    A) Play DCL or JWP

    or

    B) Take a hit for DCL to Bam and bench JWP

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

      1. One Wheels Enough
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Which one to bench?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Play DCL but JWP could knock in a free kick for Gareth Southgate's attention.

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depends how much better if at all your team is compared to his. If worse, then extending the gap by another -4 makes no sense

      1. One Wheels Enough
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        We'll have the same 7

        He will have Mendy/Dias/Phillips/Bam

          Close one and giving him a -4 isn't going to help with that. I'd ride it out and hope DCL nicks a goal

      Popular choice would be Bruno and Vydra for Mane and Bamford. Lots to choose from but I’m liking the Pepe punt and Willock good for another goal I reckon. Otherwise, Mahrez...?

        Cheers - and best of luck for today!
        Would have to remove Phillips for Mane, but as I said, I'm probably going to take a hit for the hell of it, and I like the look of Pepe and Willock. Don't think I'll go near City - it's not so much fun if they don't play, not even for old time's sake, Sergio - though I wish him all the best and will be happy if he goes out on a hat-trick

    Scout picks has few surprises yet we know plenty of squad players and youngsters will get a chance today.

  18. Ohh1454

    Play ASM/Siggy or -4 for raph ?

    If you could have any keeper this GW who would it be? Can't get Allison or Ederson

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably mendy

    2. Davidwes
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Im looking at casilla from leeds. Otherwise I like ramsdale and leno

      To answer your question Allison.

      To address your dilemia how about Martinez or Pickford save points?

      Or Leeds.

    If, and it is a big 'if', Man Utd signed an English CB, it is conceivable that England's defence would be made up completely of Man Utd players. Yes, TAA is better, but why disturb a defence that plays 40+ games a season together and has a relationship.

    Henderson
    AWB ????? Maguire Shaw

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years

      Konsa

    2. Grimlock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Na at international level having the quality to unlock a defense is rare... taa has it.
      For me has to go

    3. Bobby's Teeth
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I so wish TAA is dropped, so that he can have a nice vacation and come back ready and raring to go for us next season!

    4. MightyGar

      Phillips / Gomez when they stop getting game time at Liverpool next season

    I'm chasing 28 points. which unlikely to do but just gonna take my shot, there's no difference from 28 or 50 points behind lol.
    will C Mane instead of Salah. what transfer should I make?
    1. Keane to Tierney
    play a little bit "safe" without a hit
    or
    2. Phillips and Kane to Robbo and Wood (-4)
    Robbo to differentiate from TAA that my rival has and Wood for amazing form and fixtures. but a -4 and transfer out Kane that chasing golden boot(my rival has Kane and Salah. no Mane).

    Team: 0.3 ITB
    Leno (Foster)
    Dallas, Coufal, (Castagne/Keane/Phillip)
    Salah, Mane, Son, Lingard, Raphinha
    Kane, Bamford, (iheanancho(

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      1 anyways and maybe Reece James instead of tierney

  22. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who to bring in for Veltman

    A. Charlie Taylor vs shu
    B. Lowton vs shu
    C. Alioski vs WBA
    D. Ayling vs WBA
    E. Someone else (up to 4.4m)

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years

      Anyone please friends

      D

  23. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years

    Firmio or Antonio?

    1. #Swish41
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Antonio for me

  24. #Swish41
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    18 pt lead, lots of similar players, so:

    1. Bruno > Mane (bench Watkins)

    2. Watkins > Antonio (bench Bruno)

    Rival has Antonio and Bruno (unclear if he will go Bruno > Mane)

    Cheers!

    1. Nay08
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think you are okay. if i was your rival i would probably do Bruno to Mane so maybe you also do that

      1. #Swish41
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks man, that’s where my head is currently at! Gut said Mane all week as well

    Good luck on the final day all. Last piece of advice for a team defending and chasing slender leads in 2 MLs where rivals both have their WCs active.

    2FT and 0.3 ITB

    Forster
    TAA Stones Dallas
    Salah(c) Lingard Son Mahrez
    Kane DCL Bamford

    Pickford ESR Philips Mitchell

    Play
    A. Forster
    B. Pickford

    Upgrade
    1. ESR and DCL to Raphinha and Watkins/Nacho - bench headache
    2. Lingard and DCL to Mount and Antonio
    3. Mahrez and DCL to Pepe and Antonio
    4. Other

    1. Ohh1454
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      3 but raph instead of Pepe

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Why B? If Forster plays, wouldn’t he have a better chance of a clean sheet against Hammers than Everton against City?

  26. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years

    Start Pope (sheff) over Martinez (CHE) ?

    Thanks.

    1. #Swish41
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Martinez for me, Pope still injured?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        It would work out if so anyhow.

        Start Pope.

        1. #Swish41
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Agreed

    Don't know if I should be happy or annoyed with the article pointing out firmino, thought it was a nice little differential. Going to look forward to watching Livers with a crowd later with my Salah, Mane, Bobby combo

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nice!!!

    2. #Swish41
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He’ll still be a massive differential

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, very few can fit him in

        1. MrZ
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Can't or don't want to.
          Lots of other forwards with better fixtures

  28. Davidwes
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with this team?
    Im 3 points of top 1k
    Meslier
    Dallas, TAA, Coufal
    Salah, Mane, Lingard, Foden
    Bamford, Kane, Antonio
    Bench: Pickford, Stones, Digne, ESR

    A) Meslier----> Casilla
    B) Meslier,Foden-> Ederson,Raph -4
    C) Your suggestion
    Btw, already triple leeds so foden to raph for a free aint possible

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Didn't Leeds confirm a different keeper today?

      1. Davidwes
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Do you have any links for that or who said it? Thanks!

        1. #Swish41
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Bielsa said Casilla would finish the season in goal

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Just play Pickford for save points and use the transfer further forwards.

  29. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years

    Mendy
    TAA Robbo Targett
    Salah Mahrez Foden Lingz
    Kane DCL Bamford

    ESR Shaw

  30. Bobby's Teeth
