Our Gameweek 24 differentials column brings a trio of low-owned Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets for your consideration.


ISMAILA SARR

Why FPL Gameweek 17 could be a 'blank' for four clubs 3

  • FPL ownership: 2.0%
  • Price: £6.3m
  • GW24-28 fixtures: nfo | bha | BUR | WOL | mun

Now down to only £6.3m in FPL, Ismaila Sarr could be worth a roll of the dice, with Crystal Palace set to embark on one of the best mid-term schedules:

In his first match back since the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Sarr failed to score or provide an assist; however, he racked up two Opta-defined ‘big chances’ against Chelsea, as well as creating one for team-mate Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.5m).

And with some tempting fixtures on the way, particularly in Gameweeks 24-27, Sarr could be a quality differential option.

Crucially, Gameweek 24 opponents Nottingham Forest have been conceding key passes (15) down their left side over the last four matches, the third-most of any team, which suggests the pace and power of Sarr and Daniel Munoz (£5.8m) could cause further damage.

Above: Nottingham Forest’s chances created conceded heatmap (last four Gameweeks)

Indeed, Sarr has already found the net against Forest in 2025/26, notably from a Munoz cross. He nearly won a penalty in the same match, too.

With Palace in desperate need of a win to help steer them clear of the relegation zone, the onus will clearly be on Sarr, who is owned by only 2.0% of Fantasy managers, to provide the attacking impetus and a much-needed lift at the City Ground.


YERSON MOSQUERA

FPL Gameweek 24 differentials: 3 low-owned picks to consider

  • FPL ownership: 0.1%
  • Price: £4.3m
  • GW24-28 fixtures: BOU | CHE | nfo | cry | AVL

Yerson Mosquera (£4.3m) could be worth a look as a cheap defender.

The Colombian centre-back has impressed in Rob Edwards’ 3-5-2 formation recently, banking defensive contribution (DefCon) points in five of his last seven starts.

He’s also racked up 10 shots over the last five Gameweeks (including five in one match against Manchester City), the joint-most of any FPL defender.

Above: Yerson Mosquera’s shot map in Gameweeks 19-23

Notably, five of those goal attempts have arrived from corners and free-kicks, a potentially important factor with Bournemouth up next.

Indeed, no team has conceded more goals from dead-ball situations than the Cherries in 2025/26:

However, it is important to mention that Mosquera is fond of a yellow card, with eight bookings in his last 11 matches.

Discussing his recent impact, Edwards said:

“I think he’s great. He’s fully committed and he plays with passion. It’s just who he is. We’ve got to try and control it. We need 11 people on the pitch and we don’t want him getting booked every week, but he’s someone that’s got great athleticism. You can move him to a right-back position. He can go up against someone like Doku and cope with him, and not many can do that. So, he’s very important to us.

“I know it’s hard when people look at the table, and they’ll sort of think, ‘well, they’re rubbish’, but I don’t think we are. Hopefully we’re showing that as well, and we’re trying to improve week on week. The players are working really hard and we’ve got to keep doing that.” – Rob Edwards on Yerson Mosquera

At just £4.3m and with a potential Double Gameweek 26, Mosquera could offer value, particularly having kept clean sheets in each of his last two Molineux encounters against West Ham United and Newcastle United.


KIERNAN DEWSBURY-HALL

Who is close to a ban or suspended in FPL Gameweek 6?

  • FPL ownership: 2.1%
  • Price: £4.9m
  • GW24-28 fixtures: bha | ful | BOU | MUN | new

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£4.9m) returned from injury in Everton’s 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Monday, and is now firmly back on the FPL radar.

The budget midfielder was in superb form before succumbing to injury, with five attacking returns (three goals, two assists) in as many matches.

In that period (Gameweeks 11-15), he averaged 8.2 points per start.

Everton travel to out-of-form Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.

David Moyes’ team have a solid record on the road, too, having won four, drawn one and lost one of their last six away matches.

Brighton, meanwhile, have managed just one win in their last 10 Premier League encounters, a period (Gameweeks 14-23) in which they’ve conceded 17.14 expected goals (xG), the third most of any team.

“This is a mad league this year. We want to be in the European spots and we have got a lot of important games. We are playing a lot of teams that we have played and beaten. It is down to us now, and it is on us. If we want to achieve something we have to show it.” – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Dewsbury-Hall is currently owned by only 2.1% of Fantasy managers, but there is no question that this will quickly rise should he deliver on the south coast.

Everton also have favourable upcoming fixtures against Fulham (a), Bournemouth (h) and Burnley (h), so Dewsbury-Hall could be a really useful asset for those seeking to free up funds.

    Who’s your captain & do you consider going against robot a risk?

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      1 day, 12 hours ago

      Haaland and yes

    2. Tcheco

      (C)Bruno (V)Semenyo. I keep switching between them. Haaland's in third for me, or maybe even fourth behind Gabriel

      Need to see more shots and form from the bot. Could easily see that against Spurs though, but I prefer Semenyo's recent output if I choose to attack that Spurs defence

    Thanks Ray. I thought so. Gutted I can’t get Chalobah and Enzo but it would take a hit

  3. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 day, 12 hours ago

    Pick one:

    A) Chalobah in -4
    B) Timber in -4
    C) Play O’Reilly and no hit

    Thanks!

    1. Tcheco

      C and see who you'd prefer to get for free

      Spurs aren't too scary atm, and he might start

    3. Mighty Wings
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      C

  6. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years

    Bowen->Igor Jesus for a hit?That was my initial plan but now it feels wrong.

    1. Vjm6891
      • 5 Years
      1 day, 11 hours ago

      I definitely wouldn't for a hit. Aren't Forest after Mateta so if he, or another striker signs, Jesus may be back on the bench?

  7. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    1 day, 12 hours ago

    Wilson or BrunoG to Enzo free ?

        2. Kingy109
          • 4 Years
          1 day, 11 hours ago

          Munoz or Chalobah.
          The latter would be my 3rd Chelsea so would lock me out of João Pedro or Palmer - they both look too risky right now but I won't be able to pivot if I'm wrong
          Munoz is clearly the fun pick but fixtures not as good right now plus there's a likely blank down the line.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            1 day, 11 hours ago

            When is the blank ? Have Munoz on WC just now but won't pick if blank incoming. Cheers

            GW 31 if City beat Newcastle given they are already 2-0 up

        3. bruuuno

          1 day, 11 hours ago

          A. Ekitike > J Pedro
          B. Bowen > Kroupi (or someone else under 6.6£)

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            1 day, 11 hours ago

            Why not Bowen to Pedro ?

          Should I sell Saka for Bruno for a hit?

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam

            If its long term and you think he's going to get points this week then why not? I have Saka and he's not getting much points

          3. Kingy109
            • 4 Years
            1 day, 11 hours ago

            Does he outscore Saka by 4 this week for certain - if not you can just do it next week for free

              I don't like taking hits so going to hold onto him for one more gw. Cheers.

                yeah, wise. I'd do the same.

          Keep my nerves and roll with VVD or go for Chalo?
          I'm afraid if I sell VVD, he will get points as the last week!
          Also BrunoF (c) over Haaland?

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam

            To blank soon ?

          2. Kingy109
            • 4 Years
            1 day, 11 hours ago

            As I understand it the League Cup Final means either Arsenal and Wolves OR Chelsea and Everton AND either City and Palace OR Newcastle and Sunderland will blank in 31.
            Most likely the City/Arsenal combo

            Just to add however it's only the winner of Arsenal Chelsea and their opponents who double in 26. The winner of City Newcastle will double later.

            Hence if you get them on WC now and can hide them on your bench in 31 they will be in your team ready for that later double.

          What do I do with Reece James:-

          a) start him and hope............He's likely to be brought on at some point
          b) start Dalot (vs Fulham) instead

          Other 2 defenders will be Tark and Mukiele

        14. MetallicaJack93
          • 2 Years
          1 day, 11 hours ago

          For WC

          Sanchez + Timber

          Or

          Raya + Chalobah

          Gab in team already

          1. Vjm6891
            • 5 Years
            1 day, 11 hours ago

            Raya very rarely if at all gets bonus points, so you're restricted to max 6 points, but he's guaranteed (bar injuries/suspension)

            Timber looks pretty nailed on at the moment and he has the upside of getting bonus/assist/goal points.

            However Chalobah gets a few goals.....

            Difficult. I'd probably just side with Sanchez and Timber....

            1. Ignasi M
              • 8 Years
              1 day, 11 hours ago

              Timber should assist tomorrow. Leeds 1-1 Arsenal.

            • 8 Years
            1 day, 11 hours ago

            I guess one plus point going Raya is that if he blanks in 31 you can just play your reserve keeper, whereas I've got 3 outfielders and will have to dig deep into my bench or make subs to field 11

            Its the risk Watkins gets a few minutes off bench for 1 pointer. You could ply Guehi instead

            I am on this at the moment.

            Sanchez (Dubravka)
            Gabriel | Timber | Chalobah (Mukiele,Senesi)
            BrunoF | Mbeumo | Rogers | Semenyo | Rice
            Haaland Thiago (Mane)

            A part of me wants to bring Palmer in but I am just too concerned about his fitness.

            I keep swaying back and forth between Rogers and Enzo.

          4ft and 0 in bank
          Verbuggen
          Timber Gabriel Chalobah
          Rice Rogers Bruno Semenyo
          Thiago Bowen Haaland
          Dubravka Gordon Andersen Esteve

          Which is best:
          1. No need of transfer this week and decide next week based on midweek cup game
          2. Gordon to Enzo/Amad and bench Bowen
          3. Bowen to Pedro and bench Gordon
          4. Bowen and Gordon to Mbuemo/Cunha and Mane

          Thanks

            With Chelsea defence I'd do B with Enzo
            Reassess next week - but I'd give.Bowen the Burnley game and Gordon might be ok at home to Brentford..
