Leave a comment

This is a review of player recommendations you may not have considered for your FPL squad. Here are the Differential player recommendations for Gameweek 8.

Defender: Trevoh Chalobah (5.1 – 7.4%)

2 goals, 52 defensive contributions, and 1 assist are impressive statistics that Chalobah has achieved so far this season.

Given his position as a defender, his attacking contributions so far are quite high. With an FPL ownership rate of just 7.4% and a relatively easy schedule for Chelsea, he is one of the players worth considering as a differential player in your squad at the moment.

Next opponents: Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, Tottenham

Midfielder: Sean Longstaff (4.9 – 0.7%)

Sean Longstaff has created 12 chances and taken 6 shots in recent matches. He has also taken over set pieces from Stach, taking 11 corners in his last two matches since his return. One goal and one assist in the match against Bournemouth complete his impressive record so far, and he will face Burnley in gameweek 8

Next opponents: Burnley, West Ham, Brighton

Midfielder: Yankuba Minteh (6.0 – 3.5%)

1 Defcon point, 1 goal, and 2 assists from his last 5 matches are impressive statistics for Yankuba Minteh. He has also recorded 1.6 xG and 1.2 xA from 2.8 xGI so far this season.

He has also consistently played over 60 minutes so far this season, demonstrating his vital role for a manager who rotates his squad quite frequently.

Next opponents: Newcastle, Manchester United, Leeds

FWD: Igor Thiago (6.1 – 3.5 %)

With 2.7 xG from 2.9 xGI so far this season, Igor Thiago has scored four goals for Brentford in the Premier League.

With Mbeumo and Wissa having moved to new clubs at the start of the season, Igor has been successful in continuing Brentford’s sharp attacking streak so far.

Next opponents: West Ham, Liverpool, Crystal Palace

Here are the differential player recommendations for Gameweek 8.

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT (FPL GAMEWEEK 7)

Leave a comment

This is a review of player recommendations you may not have considered for your FPL squad. Here are the Differential player recommendations for Gameweek 7.

Midfielder: Declan Rice (6.5 – 8.3%)

Three assists from six Premier League matches this season, all from corner kicks. Declan Rice’s presence as one of the free-kick takers is the main reason why Arsenal are so dangerous in set-piece situations.

Facing West Ham, who seem to still struggle in set-piece situations, will be a significant advantage for those who have Declan Rice in their squad.

Next opponents: West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace

Midfielder: Jaidon Anthony (5.7 – 5.4%)

With an xGI of 0.47 and an expected goals (xG) of 0.37, Anthony has scored four goals this season, failing to score only against Spurs and Liverpool. In the last match, Donnarumma was the victim of his goal, which prevented Manchester City from keeping a clean sheet.

Anthony is currently second only to Haaland in the top scorers list (8), with Semenyo and Thiago having the same number of goals as him.

Next opponents: Aston Villa, Leeds, Wolves

Midfielder: Ismaila Sarr (6.4 – 4.4%)

Despite missing Gameweeks 4 and 5, Sarr did not lose his sharpness upon returning last weekend against league leaders Liverpool.

With an xGI of 0.77 and an expected goals (xG) of 0.72, Sarr has scored in his last three matches and has netted three goals so far this season. He has only failed to score once, in a goalless draw against Chelsea.

Next opponents: Everton, Bournemouth, Arsenal

FWD: Jarrod Bowen (7.7 – 6.4%)

With three goals in his last four matches, Bowen has proven he is not done yet despite West Ham’s poor start to the season, which led to Graham Potter’s dismissal last week.

With 3 goals from just 0.8 xG, there is hope for the future, as West Ham’s new manager is skilled at playing quick counter-attacks that could maximise Bowen’s potential on the pitch.

Next opponents: Arsenal, Brentford, Leeds

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT (FPL GAMEWEEK 6)

Leave a comment

This is a review of player recommendations you may not have considered for your FPL squad. Here are the Differential player recommendations for Gameweek 6.

Def : Michael Keane (4.5 – 0.6%)

As Tarkowski’s compatriot while Jarrad Branthwaite is injured, Keane has been impressive with 42 CBI (Clearances, Blocks, Interceptions) and 16 Recoveries in his last 5 matches.

What’s more intriguing is that, alongside Jake O’Brien, he has become the target man in Everton’s corner-kick strategy, giving him a high chance of scoring against West Ham, who are weak in corner-kick situations.

Next Opponents: West Ham, Crystal Palace, & Manchester City

Def : Udogie (4.4 – 0.5%)

Udogie’s return to the Spurs squad last week clearly provides new options for FPL managers looking to target Spurs’ defence.

Playing as a left-back and often overlapping, Udogie has a high chance of scoring goals and assists, as seen from his one on-target shot against Brighton last week.

Next Opponents: Wolves, Leeds, & Aston Villa

MID : Foden (8.0 – 4.0%)

After missing the start of the season due to injury, his ownership remains below 10%, with most managers opting for Reijnders in their squads. Foden is the standout player this week.

With his creativity and ability to find dangerous spaces in the opposition’s defence, Foden poses a serious threat in terms of goals and assists, especially when playing at the Etihad. He has contributed at least two goals and one assist this season across all competitions.

Next Opponents: Burnley, Brentford, & Everton.

FWD : Isidor (5.5 – 2.0%)

Slowly but surely, Isidor has earned the managers’ trust as a regular starter in Sunderland’s last two matches. With an Expected Goals (xG) of 0.39%, he has scored three goals in the league this season.

If you need an affordable striker for your team, Isidor is one of the best options I can recommend.

Next Opponents : Nottingham Forest, M.United, & Wolves

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT (FPL GAMEWEEK 5)

Leave a comment

 

This is a review of players you may not have considered for your FPL squad. Here are our recommendations for standout players in Gameweek 5.

GK: Robin Roefs (4.5 – 1.9%)

It’s no surprise that his name tops this list. With 27 points, he’s just 2 points behind Vicario at the top of the goalkeeper standings so far this season.

With a high expected goals conceded (xGC) of 1.13, Roefs has only conceded 3 goals against Burnley in Gameweek 2 and Brentford in Gameweek 3. He has also made 13 saves in his first 4 Premier League matches. Not only that, Roefs has also earned 2 clean sheets and made 1 penalty save.

Next opponents: Aston Villa, N. Forrest, & MU.

DEF: Tyrone Mings (4.5 – 1.4%)

Villa may be a team struggling to score goals, but they have been impressive at the back. They have recorded 2 clean sheets in their first 4 GW.

Mings is an intriguing player with an expected goals conceded (xGC) of 1.85, having secured 1 defensive point and a clean sheet against Everton.

Next 3 GW: Sunderland, Fulham, Burnley.

MID: Lucas Bergvall (5.4 – 0.3%)

Although not always the first choice, he has gradually become reliable for Thomas Frank in the last two Spurs matches.

Against West Ham and Villarreal, Bergvall was the main protagonist with 1 goal & 1 assist + 1 own goal caused by Luiz Junior against Villarreal.

This is a positive note considering Thomas Frank is still searching for the ideal composition of the current Spurs squad.

Next opponents: Brighton, Wolves, Leeds.

FWD: Nick Woltemade (7.0 – 2.7%)

This tall figure might be a good fit for Newcastle, considering how Newcastle has Jacob Murphy, who since the start of last season has only been surpassed by Mohamed Salah (19) in terms of total crosses (12) from open play situations.

With good positioning, his solitary goal against Wolves seemed like an epic welcome message for FPL managers.

Next opponents: Bournemouth, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest.

There you have it the standout player recommendations for Gameweek 5.
