❓Top Gameweek 30 Differentials (<15%)

🇫🇷 Jean-Philippe Mateta – Crystal Palace (£7.5m, 5.4%)

Mateta is currently only this low owned due to his injury, but this brings a degree of opportunity. He is currently flagged at 50% fit but with the two-week international break, I would expect him to fully recover before GW30. At only 5.4% owned and the main striker playing a poor Southampton team, he could go big.

With many managers having the expensive Erling Haaland in their team they require a low to mid-priced striker alongside him, Mateta is your perfect option. With an upcoming double in GW32, he is a good player in which to own for the mid-term. For the last third of the season, I will own at least one player against each of the bottom two teams, they are already certain of relegation and can only get worse. A great option.

🇪🇬 Omar Marmoush – Manchester City (£7.3m, 12.9%)

Why didn’t I bring him in last week! That was initially the plan, but I left the frontline as it was. Ideally, when you don’t have a largely owned asset in a GW (Haaland for GW29) the cheaper asset with a good chance of doing well is a good option in which to cover scores.

As it happened, he actually ended up outscoring Haaland by 5 points, and most importantly significantly cheaper; half the price of Haaland. Many managers didn’t take the plunge as Pep Guardiola’s rotation is notoriously hard to predict, but I think he was a lock even before this performance.

One of the current best performers in Europe, costing a sizeable amount (£60m) and as Man City are short of more than a few goals, you can’t be overly worried he won’t play. If it weren’t for the large gap before the next GW he would already be in my squad, but I’m almost certain that come the GW30 deadline he will be.

🇧🇪 Kevin De Bruyne- Man City (£9.3m, 3.8%)

This selection is a lot riskier. At one time KDB was a certainty in most FPL teams, but unfortunately, this day has passed. With reduced minutes in his last few appearances, it would take a lot for him to start but with Guardiola, you never know. Even if he comes on for 10 minutes, Leicester are that poor he could score a few goals. It’s not likely but you never know.

If you are far behind in your league then possibly this is the risk you need in order to bump up the rankings, but if you are content with your OR then pass over this selection and look elsewhere. FPL is so unpredictable that it wouldn’t surprise me if he did roll back the clocks and put in a stellar performance.

🇧🇷 Matheus Cunha – Wolves (£6.9m, 7.3%)

WARNING, be aware Cunha is still suspended and will next play in GW31 against Ipswich, (missing this GW) but there are potential upsides. The first one is a value increase. No doubt, when his ban ends the masses will bring him in increasing his price by £0.2m or potentially even more with his good upcoming fixtures. Ipswich, West Ham, and Leicester are on the horizon for Wolves.

The second upside to bringing him in is setting our team up for the next period of GWs, those with few FTs or no remaining chips will want to get him in early. Either way, if you get him in now or later he is a good selection. He seems to be involved in every Wolves attacking return and is a bonus point magnet. I have no doubt he will get more than a few hauls before the end of the season.

🇧🇷 Evanilson – Bournemouth (£5.7m, 3.3%)

Another striker on our list this week. In his absence, Dango Ouattara was filling in as the frontman, but he couldn’t repeat the form of Evanilson, resulting in less balance throughout the team and a reduction in form as a result. But now he is back, Bournemouth have a real focal point and I can see them getting back to winning ways against Ipswich and West Ham in the next two fixtures.

Six goals and four assists in his maiden season isn’t bad going, and I’m certain he will add more than a few more to this tally before the end of the season. Evanilson is often in the right place at the right time and a fox in the box that has won more than a few penalties this season. Budget-wise, he fits great alongside Haaland ensuring you can still have Mohamed Salah in your side, critical in my opinion. He is already in my team; will you bring him in?
