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 13 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.

Caveats: This article was written on 20th October, prior to Thursday’s matches. Also, with unlimited transfers available in Gameweek 17, transfer recommendations are with the respect to fixtures between now and Gameweek 16 only.

GK: Vicente Guaita

• Cost: £4.5m
• Selected by: 3.0%
• Next Fixture: EVE (a)

Crystal Palace are ranked top for defensive fixtures over the next four Gameweeks - click here for the Fixture Planner tool

In the next four games, Crystal Palace faces Everton, Southampton, West Ham and Nottingham Forest, four teams who are ranked in the bottom seven for goal threat this season.

Everton, who they face at the weekend, have registered just 37 shots on target this season, which places them 17th in the league according to our Opta Stats Sandbox.

This is a great opportunity for Crystal Palace to rise up the Premier League table and earn some clean sheets along the way. If you are not one of the 3% of managers who owns Vicente Guaita (£4.5m) then this could be a solid investment.
