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 4 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.

Leeds is ranked 5th best for defensive difficulty in the six Gameweeks - taken from Fixture Planner

After a high-octane performance against Chelsea, Leeds looked every bit as energetic and aggressive as Bielsa’s outfit of last season, but with one important difference: defensive discipline.

Just over half of Leeds’ new summer signings have been defensively minded and the statistics show an improvement at the back since Jesse Marsch took over the reins.

With a solid run of fixtures coming up, the Leeds shot-stopper could be a great differential for those looking to make a goalkeeping switch.
