3 Nov. 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 15 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 3rd November, prior to Thursday’s Europa League matches. Also, with unlimited transfers available in Gameweek 17, transfer recommendations are with the respect Gameweeks 15 and 16 only.
