❓Top Gameweek 25 Differentials (<15%)

🇳🇴 Erling Haaland – Man City (£14.7m, 27.8%)

The mini-revival continues. Haaland’s form and subsequently results for Man City have dramatically improved over the last month, in both the Premier and Champions League. 6 goals and 1 assist in the Premier League in 5 matches and 3 goals in 3 games including a brace against Real Madrid reinforces possibly he is back to his normal goal scoring ways.

Sure, it’s a tough next set of fixtures against Newcastle, Liverpool, and Nottingham Forest in the next 4, but Man City score goals against any side. Currently only 27% owned is a crazy drop off from the start of the season, where he was closer to 85%. This gives us the opportunity to find an edge to climbing the FPL ranks, if he does haul and you own him, you’re definitely earning a green arrow.

There is one barrier to owning or transferring Haaland in though, price. If you have a spare £5m lying around to spend on top of your current striker then go for it, but don’t go dismantling your entire team just to squeeze him in. If he keeps scoring, however, we may have to consider planning for this.

🇧🇪 Leandro Trossard – Arsenal (£6.8m, 2.5%)

It’s Trossard time! Every season he comes into the spotlight for a short run of games and now he is centre stage. Arsenal’s striker options are already limited and with the breaking news of Havertz being out for the remainder of the season with a torn hamstring, they have even less now. Trossard has played the No.9 position before and unless they promote an under-21 player then I see him starting in that slot for the next few matches at least.

Sure, it’s not ideal, but with the weak defences of Leicester and West Ham up next, the 2nd best scorers in the league will still find a way to find the back of the net. Not only does this give us an opportunity, but Trossard’s performance against these teams confirms to me why we really should be looking to bring him in. In the reverse fixtures (GW6 & 13), Trossard racked up a goal and assist, 2 BPS and a haul of 12 points. With Trossard back in the starting 11 and in an even more attacking position, he could do some damage! For me, I am really buoyant about this choice and I’m not sure I can resist it, it’s just too much opportunity.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Marcus Rashford – Aston Villa (£6.6m, 2.8%)

Many, many FPL managers are considering this move. We all know the saga with Rashford over the last few seasons but finally, he has made a move away from Old Trafford and it’s ‘make or break’ time. Over the past seasons in a poor Man United side, Rashford has performed well… Very well. In 22/23 he recorded 17 goals and 7 assists, so if he can get anywhere close to that form, it’ll be a great transfer in. The bigger question is: Can he recover that form? And how does he fit into an attacking Aston Villa side that have strengthened over the January transfer window?

Emery clearly rates him highly paying over 250k of his wages, but with 3x Champions League winner Marco Asensio also on loan at the club, he must perform. If you are considering the move-in for GW25, you have two bites at the cherry; Aston Villa have a double game week v Ipswich (H) and Liverpool (H). Though a tough set of fixtures at first glance, if Rashford performs well you could be sitting pretty and for a fairly cheap price. I have my reservations, but maybe you like the punt?

🇫🇷 Jean-Philippe Mateta – Crystal Palace (£7.3m, 6.2%)

Jean-Philippe… Stop it! Crystal Palace have improved greatly, courtesy of the Frenchman. Palace have won 3 of their last 4 fixtures with Mateta netting all but one of the winning goals (5), hitting 2x double-digit hauls and totalling 36 points in 4 GWs. I have to admit even I was slow to recognise him as a selection but now he has my attention. Everton, Fulham, and Ipswich in the next four including 3 of which are home games, give a lot of opportunity to Mateta to continue his great form.

With scoring forwards currently in short supply, Mateta at only £7.3m looks a great selection and gets me thinking, should I get him in? The third forward slot is tricky to fill, but maybe not now? Last season he was a flash in the pan and great for a few fixtures, but now I think he has overcome that and he’s a great option moving forward.

🇬🇭 Antoine Semenyo – Bournemouth (£5.7m, 7.6%)

Bournemouth are the flavour of the month, and this could have been quite a few players from the Cherries, the choices were plentiful. Ouattara filling in at striker was an option, as was the defender Kerkez racking up goals and assists as well as clean sheets, but it’s the slightly forgotten midfielder many of us selected near the beginning of the season. Antoine Semenyo with 7 goals, 4 assists and 102 pts total (13th scoring midfielder) is a great option.

Currently 5th most in-form midfielder, you can see from the list below it’s dominated by Bournemouth players. Slightly cheaper and way less owned, he’s a great alternative to Kluivert and I see him edging out Ouattara for points also. Southampton and Wolves are up next in which I see all 4 of these players scoring highly, the only question is which one does best, it’s tough to tell. Makes me consider the double-up.
