December is here, the Advent calendars are opening, and the fixtures are about to come thick and fast in Fantasy Premier League.
With rotation, injuries and surprise benchings all on the rise, Gameweek 14 is the ideal moment to target low-owned FPL differentials who can give you an edge.
Picking players under 10% ownership is one of the most effective ways to make gains and climb your mini-leagues before the busy festive schedule truly kicks in.
Our strategy balances attacking potential with defensive coverage:
⚽ 3 attacking player – midfielders or forwards
🛡️ 2 defensive players – defenders or goalkeepers
This ensures coverage across the pitch while prioritising FPL points, essential for Gameweek success.
Nottingham Forest’s 23-year-old England international has quietly become one of the best value options in the game. Anderson isn’t just Forest’s top FPL points scorer — he also leads the entire Premier League for defensive contributions (175), highlighting how involved he is in Forest’s overall play. He’s also Forest’s highest baseline bonus performer, which makes him even more appealing.
With over 20% of the top one million managers owning Caicedo — now suspended after his red card against Arsenal — Anderson could be the ideal replacement, especially for those tight on budget at just £5.3m.
The Transfer Analytics tool shows that Caicedo has already been transferred out by more than 170,000 managers, with Anderson the third most popular replacement (10.9%), behind Foden (13.9%) and Minteh (14.6%).
But Anderson isn’t just about DEFCON and bonus points. He has three attacking returns (one goal, two assists) and has taken 15 shots, with 11 of them coming inside the box. His underlying numbers underline that threat, registering 1.71 expected goals (xG), suggesting he may even be unfortunate not to have scored more than once.
Forest now head into a favourable run — Wolves (A), Everton (A), Spurs (H), Fulham (A) — and Anderson’s blend of defensive output, creativity, and attacking involvement makes him one of the most reliable and high-upside defensive punts for Gameweek 14 in Fantasy Premier League.
Chelsea’s gritty 1–1 draw with Arsenal — where they held their own despite going down to 10 men — reinforced the idea that they are becoming genuine title contenders. At the heart of their attacking threat has been 25-year-old Portuguese winger Neto, who continues to impress with his consistency and end product.
While Enzo Fernández carries strong underlying numbers, Cole Palmer’s return is expected to push him into a deeper role, which could reduce his FPL appeal. Neto, however, remains heavily involved in Chelsea’s highest-quality chances. He’s already scored four goals, provided two assists, and taken 21 shots — with eight on target and 14 inside the box.
A look at the Match Centre and Chelsea’s last five games highlights just how versatile his threat is. Neto is joint-top for goals (2), joint-top for expected goals (2.1), third for shots on target (5), joint-second for assists (1) and third for attempted assists (6). That combination of goalscoring and creativity gives him multiple routes to points.
With Leeds (A) up next, a fixture that suits his direct, ball-carrying style, Neto looks like Chelsea’s best-value attacking option for Gameweek 14.
After his brace and maximum bonus points against Leeds, many will see buying Foden as a knee-jerk move — but the 25-year-old England international’s underlying numbers suggest this upturn has been on the cards for a while.

Across his 11 league appearances this season, Foden has taken 22 shots, with 14 coming inside the box, and has generated three big chances, showing he’s been getting into threatening positions consistently.
Manchester City have been overly reliant on Haaland for goals, so Foden stepping up now feels both timely and necessary. With Fulham (A) next, and City projected to score over seven goals across the next four Gameweeks — the second-highest total in the league, according to the Predicted Points & Stats tool — he looks well placed for immediate returns.
Trevoh Chalobah, the 26-year-old England international, has been one of the surprise packages of the season from an attacking perspective.
His goal against Arsenal took him to three league goals, making him joint-top among Premier League defenders — an impressive return for someone traditionally known for his defensive reliability.
However, it’s Chelsea’s defensive structure that really elevates his appeal. They’ve conceded just 12 goals, the fourth fewest in the league, as shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox tool. Their display against Arsenal — staying compact and disciplined despite being reduced to 10 men — highlighted just how dependable their back line has become. The Predicted Points & Stats tool also projects Chelsea to have one of the highest clean sheet probabilities over the next three Gameweeks, behind only Arsenal.

For managers looking to sell Senesi, who is now suspended after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season, Chalobah offers an excellent low-owned alternative. With genuine goal threat, strong bonus potential, and a solid clean-sheet outlook, he provides a well-rounded and undervalued route into Chelsea’s defence.
Manchester United may not have delivered standout defensive numbers this season, but from a fixtures perspective, the Dutch international looks well positioned for a clean-sheet run.
According to the Fixture Planner tool, United rank second-best for defensive difficulty over the next six Gameweeks, which immediately boosts De Ligt’s appeal.
The 26-year-old centre-back has been dependable, starting all 13 matches and offering a genuine threat from set pieces. He has produced 11 shots, with nine inside the box, scoring once from 0.84 xG, and has even created a couple of decent chances, generating 0.75 expected assists — solid output for a centre-back.
While Chalobah offers more attacking upside, De Ligt stands out for his fixtures. United face West Ham (H) and Wolves (A) next — two sides who have struggled for goals this season. Wolves have scored the fewest goals in the league (7 in 13 games), while West Ham have managed 15, the fifth-lowest in the division.
For managers seeking a low-owned, like-for-like replacement for Senesi, De Ligt looks like one of the safest and most reliable routes into clean-sheet potential for Gameweek 14 and beyond.
