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 7 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: David De Gea

• Cost: £4.9m
• Selected by: 6.4%
• Next Fixture: CRY (a)

David de Gea (4.9m) has accumulated 2 clean sheets and 18 saves this season; he is owned by 6.4% of FPL managers

Manchester United’s dramatic performance U-turn has coincided with a good run of fixtures and, since Manchester United defeated Liverpool in Gameweek 3, David de Gea (£4.9m) is now joint-top amongst goalkeepers for clean sheets.

With Crystal Palace, Leeds and Everton in the next four Gameweeks, Manchester United could see this number of clean sheets rise as Manchester United fight hard to get back to winning ways.
