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 23 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.
Caveat: This article was written on 7th February, with the Manchester United vs Leeds match still to be played.
Wolves are ranked fourth best for defensive fixture difficulty - click here for the Fixture Planner
With the recent announcement that Gameweek 25 will be yet another double, managers now have another element to throw into the mixer when it comes to navigating the chaos.
If you are looking for a differential goalkeeper with a nice run of fixtures – who also plays twice in double Gameweek 25 – then look no further than José Sá (£5.0m).
While Wolves may have problems going forward, they are one of the more defensively solid teams to play, conceding just 27.22 xG all season which, according to the Opta Stats Sandbox tool, ranks them 9th in the Premier League.
With games against Southampton and Bournemouth in the next two Gameweeks, followed by a double in Gameweek 25, Sá could be a solid differential option between the sticks.
