❓Top Gameweek 26 Differentials (<15%)

🇪🇬 Omar Marmoush – Man City (£7.1m, 5.7%)

It’s no surprise the hat-trick hero is top of the differential list this GW with a stunning performance to highlight his recent transfer. I was an avid supporter of Marmoush while playing at Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, where his numbers were head-turning and he was 1 of the top performers in Europe.

15 goals and 9 assists in 17 games including 2 goals and an assist against giants Bayern Munich proves why so many top European clubs were in the race for his signature. Usually, it takes players new to the league time to adapt to the speed, strength, and style of play; but Marmoush has settled in perfectly.

With Man City requiring results and points to secure a Champions League place, he will be an integral part of the side for the remainder of the season. Scoring 3 goals and 17 FPL points in only your 2nd start should not go unnoticed. He has risen by £0.1m but still, at a bargain basement price of £7.1m he can be considered an enabler, saving money for other players in your squad while still scoring highly. With the forward spots drying up in terms of options, perhaps this is the perfect time for his selection.

🇬🇲 Yankuba Minteh – Brighton (£5m, 0.7%)

Huge pre-season hype surrounded this ex-Newcastle player and perhaps he is starting to come good. 2 double-digit hauls (12 and 15pts) in his last 4 games, 3 goals and 1 assist in performance terms. Team, you know I have been attacking Southampton all season and this GW is no different. Brighton are finally clicking well and next, they have a training session… or Southampton as they are best known. The Saints are even worse at home than on the road and have been conceding an average of 2.8 goals per game. At only 0.7% owned, a return of any kind will push you up the rankings, but if Minteh performs the same as he did v Chelsea, it could give your ranking the largest rise of the season. I am very bullish on bringing him in this week and in all honesty the toughest question I need to answer myself is, is only 1 Brighton asset enough?

🇵🇹 Beto – Everton (£4.9m, 2.5%)

I never thought I would be here, but here I am advocating for the transfer-in of Everton’s Beto. Nothing against the player, but Everton’s style of play (pre-David Moyes) left us with little interest in giving him a 2nd thought. Within 10 seconds of GW24, Beto had already equalled his goal tally for the season and has not looked back since. 4 goals, 7 BPS and 29 points in 3 GWs; perhaps we need to change our past opinion of Beto and realise players can improve. If we thought Marmoush was cheap, then £4.9m is the bargain of the season. All the stats and eye tests pointed to selecting Iliman Ndiaye over Beto, but sometimes a risky ’vibe’ selection works out the best. Due to price, the thought did cross my mind to bring him in, but myself and the majority of managers thought it was a transfer wasted, especially due to the fact he played a strong Liverpool side. Beto is a confidence player and right now he is overflowing with it, does it tempt you to ride the wave and bring him in?

🇳🇱 Mark Flekken – Brentford (£4.4m, 8.8%)

Good goalkeepers are hard to come by in FPL and though Flekken has not been a popular pick so far this season, his future (short term) looks bright. A long-awaited clean sheet, an extra save point and all 3 BPS gave Flekken a long-awaited haul away to West Ham. Great upcoming fixtures against Leicester and Everton are bolstered by the fact they have key defensive players returning from injury. Brentford though exciting, have been far more defensively weak this season; something that Thomas Frank utilised in order to stay in the league since their promotion. I expect to see a significant improvement and clean sheets, even against tougher opponents of Aston Villa and Everton, which many might not think is viable. A good omen is Flekken kept a clean sheet v Everton in their first meeting… along with a high of 5 saves and 3 bonus points overall. Though I am talking him up, Flekken would best be utilised in teams that have 2x mid-range goalkeepers that you can rotate for the best fixtures. But truth be told, with the number of goals flying in, even against the top sides, owning Flekken as your main GK would not be the end of the world.

🇬🇭 Yoane Wissa – Brentord (£6.3m, 11.8%)

Our 2nd Brentford pick this GW and 1 of my main forwards. You might be thinking… why is he including a player that is only the 12th-highest transferred in player this GW? The answer is a large majority of managers moved for him 1 or 2 GWs previously, in anticipation of using fewer transfers and more chips like Assistant Manager or Free Hit. Ideally, when you bring in a new asset, you generally want to keep him for an average of 4 GWs. 4 blanks in a row doesn’t look good and only 62,000 managers have made the move but last time out v West Ham, Wissa did everything but score. He had 2 goals ruled out, hit the post, and had a fantastic opportunity which the goalkeeper pulled off a great save in order to deny him. When Brentford score more often than not he is involved and he has the ability to haul, not all FPL players do. I expect him to score highly, especially against the seemingly already relegated Leicester and I’ve got a feeling it could be 1 of the highest GW26 scores… I’m glad I already own him.
