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 5 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: Nick Pope

• Cost: £5.0m
• Selected by: 6.4%
• Next Fixture: LIV (a)

Newcastle has the best defensive fixture rating between GW6-GW9 - taken from Fixture Planner

Perhaps not a transfer to make straight away (with a visit to Anfield up next) but a move for Nick Pope (£5.0m) could make sense from Gameweek 6 to Gameweek 9, where Newcastle is ranked top for defensive fixture difficulty.

Newcastle are joint-third best for goals conceded (4) and are one of only five teams to have gained more than one clean sheet so far in the campaign.
