GW12 Differential Focus

18 Oct. 2022

If you are the sort of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) manager who enjoys going against the grain – or takes satisfaction from finding hidden gems before the crowd – then lowly selected players (differentials) can often provide value and offer a source of points which won’t be shared by many other managers. As long as the player picks are justifiable, differentials can give you an edge over your mini-league rivals.

In this article we look ahead to Gameweek 12 and find players from each position who are currently selected by less than 10% of managers, but could reward their owners in the upcoming gameweeks.

GK: Bernd Leno

  • Cost: £4.5m
  • Selected by: 1.6%
  • Next Fixture: AVL (h)

Gameweek 11 was an unbelievable week for goalkeepers – the likes of which we are unlikely to see again for a while; many of them even achieved double-digit returns, giving their owners something to smile about on an otherwise quiet Gameweek.

If you are looking for a new goalkeeper, and are willing to focus on a relatively short window, then Fulham’s upcoming fixtures look very good from a defensive point of view, and Bernd Leno (£4.5m) could be in for some clean sheets.

Aston Villa, Leeds, and Everton are all in the bottom half of the table for xG and (bizarrely) are all ranked joint-16th for shots on target (37) according to the Opta Stats Sandbox.
