1. Enzo Fernández: FPL Bargain with Attacking Threat and Favourable Fixture

At just £4.7m, Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández offers Fantasy Premier League managers a budget-friendly midfield option that could unlock bigger moves ahead of the final two Gameweeks.

Owned by only 4%, he’s a genuine differential with the potential to deliver returns while enabling upgrades elsewhere in your squad. He has scored 6 goals and provided 8 assists this season, putting him on 129 FPL points—second only to Cole Palmer’s 209 in the Chelsea squad.

In Gameweek 37, Enzo faces a Manchester United side likely to rotate heavily ahead of their UEFA Europa League Final against Spurs on 21st May.

United’s form has been poor, conceding 12 goals in their last six matches—more than both Southampton and Leicester, who are already relegated, as shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox tool. That run includes a 0-2 defeat at home to West Ham and four goals conceded away to Brentford.

Despite Chelsea’s inconsistent form, with just eight goals scored in their last five games, Fernández remains heavily involved in their attacking output.

Match Stats data highlights that Enzo is joint top for goals (1), top for assists (2) and attempted assists (14), and ranks in the top five for expected goals (1.1) and shots on target (4) across those five games.

For managers seeking a late-season differential with underlying stats to back him up, Enzo Fernández looks like a smart enabler with the potential to deliver.

2. Kevin Schade: Another Week, Another Recommendation

Kevin Schade (£5.2m) returns to our differential list—and with good reason. His consistent FPL output is backed up by standout underlying stats, making him one of the most overlooked midfield options heading into the final Gameweeks.

With 145 FPL points this season, Schade ranks as Brentford’s third-highest scorer, behind only Wissa (175) and Mbeumo (223). His 11 goals put him joint-sixth among all midfielders for goals scored, according to Opta Stats Sandbox—an impressive return at his price point.

What makes his appeal even stronger is a comparison with teammate Bryan Mbeumo, using the Player Heatmaps tool.

Since Gameweek 25, Schade has outperformed Mbeumo per 90 minutes in several key metrics: goals (0.46 to 0.33), expected goals (0.36 to 0.27), shots on target (1.10 to 0.83), and shots in the box (1.83 to 1.75).

His superior goal threat is clear, and even if managers don’t bring him in for the final weeks, he’s certainly one to watch for the 2025/26 season.

Brentford host Fulham in Gameweek 37—a side that just conceded three goals at home to Everton. With only 2.9% ownership, Schade is a classic late-season differential who could make a real impact.

3. Liam Delap: Ipswich's Shop Window Striker

Liam Delap (£5.6m) may be playing his final matches for Ipswich amid summer transfer speculation, giving the young striker added motivation to perform as the season closes. For FPL managers seeking a low-cost forward with something to prove, Delap is one to watch.

The Tractor Boys' striker has scored 12 goals this season, placing him ninth among all forwards, according to the Opta Stats Sandbox.

That tally puts him ahead of more established names such as Raúl (11), João Pedro, Welbeck, N.Jackson, and Evanilson (all on 10). In a relegated Ipswich side, that’s a return few would have predicted—and one that stands out.

According to the Fixture Difficulty Rating tool, Ipswich rank second for attacking fixtures across the final two Gameweeks. That gives Delap an ideal platform to boost his numbers even further and stake a claim—both for a transfer and a place in your FPL team.

4. Aaron Wan-Bissaka: Silencing the Critics

Long labelled a defensive full-back with little attacking threat, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.4m) has completely flipped the narrative since joining West Ham.

After years of minimal goal involvement at Manchester United, the right-back has found fresh attacking licence in East London—and FPL managers should take notice.

Between 2021 and 2024, Wan-Bissaka managed just two assists and failed to score a single goal. This season? He’s delivered 2 goals and 5 assists—his best-ever return in FPL—and has emerged as a creative force even in a struggling West Ham side.

His touchmap tells the full story. Wan-Bissaka has registered 45 touches in the opposition box—an eye-catching figure that ranks only behind Lucas Paquetá (58), Tomáš Souček (104), Mohammed Kudus (132), and Jarrod Bowen (155) among West Ham players. It’s a clear sign that he’s operating higher up the pitch and getting more involved in attacking phases.

His bonus point haul further highlights his growing influence. With 15 bonus points this season, he ranks second among all defenders—only Murillo (18) has more. He also sits joint-ninth among defenders for assists.

West Ham host Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 37—a fixture with potential for both attacking and defensive returns. At just 5% ownership, Wan-Bissaka presents a compelling differential option for FPL managers seeking a late-season edge.

5. Vitaliy Mykolenko: Everton's Farewell to Goodison

Gameweek 37 is set to be a historic moment for Everton, marking their final match at Goodison Park before moving to a new stadium. Vitaliy Mykolenko (£4.4m) and his teammates will be determined to honour the occasion with a strong performance—and hopefully a clan sheet.

Mykolenko has played a key role in helping Everton secure 10 clean sheets this season—the seventh-highest in the league, according to the Opta Stats Sandbox. His consistent contributions have earned him 104 FPL points, which include 1 goal, 2 assists, and 6 bonus points.

The outlook for Gameweek 37 is especially promising. The Predicted Points & Stats tool gives Everton a 50% chance of keeping a clean sheet—the highest of any side this week.

Unsurprisingly, Mykolenko is seeing a spike in interest. According to the Transfer Analytics tool, he features in 5 of the top 10 most popular transfer combinations for defenders.

Everton host Southampton in what looks like a favourable fixture for both defensive stability and possible attacking returns. With only 6.4% ownership, Mykolenko is a strong differential pick for FPL managers aiming to climb the ranks in the season’s final stretch.

Conclusion: Penultimate Differentials to Help You Climb the Ranks

As we head into the final gameweeks of the FPL season, now is the time to back bold, low-owned picks that can deliver big returns. From budget enablers to form players with favourable fixtures, these differentials offer genuine upside.

Enzo Fernández provides a cut-price midfield option with strong creative stats and the potential to punish a rotated Manchester United side.

Kevin Schade continues to outshine teammates like Mbeumo in key attacking metrics and has the fixtures to finish strong.

Liam Delap is flying under the radar with an impressive goal tally and the motivation to impress as rumours swirl about a summer move.

At the back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka has found attacking freedom at West Ham, offering value at both ends of the pitch. And Vitaliy Mykolenko, set to play in Everton’s final game at Goodison Park, combines clean sheet potential with attacking threat and ranks highly among this week’s top transfer combos.

With low ownership across the board, these players could be the game-changers that make the difference in your mini-leagues. Trust your instincts, back your differentials, and finish the season strong. Good luck, managers!
