Martin Ødegaard

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £8.4m
  • Projected points: 4.5

Martin Ødegaard, Arsenal's creative maestro, made his return from injury in Gameweek 11 and has been quietly delivering consistent points ever since. He scored 7 points against Chelsea, 6 against Nottingham Forest, and 8 against West Ham.

Odegaard FPL stats

Averaging 4.7 points per game, shown the Opta Heatmaps tool, only Bukayo Saka, with an impressive 8.17 average, has outperformed him this season for Arsenal.

With a favourable run of fixtures on the horizon, the Norwegian playmaker could emerge as a strong differential option for Fantasy Premier League managers.

Eberechi Eze

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £6.6m
  • Projected points: 4.5

Eberechi Eze made his return from injury last gameweek against Newcastle, and Fantasy managers will be hoping for a resurgence.

With 33 points from 874 minutes across 10 games, Eze's season has been underwhelming so far. However, his underlying stats suggest he’s been unlucky. He’s scored just one goal from an xG of 3.4 and managed one assist from an xA of 1.43, highlighting his potential for greater returns.

Eze shot map

Eze leads Crystal Palace in both total shots (37) and shots on target (12), as shown by his Opta shotmap. Despite Palace’s struggles, he remains their most likely source of goals.

Gameweek 14 presents a promising fixture against Ipswich Town, a side conceding an average of 1.85 goals per game with just one clean sheet all season. It’s the perfect opportunity for Eze to kick-start his season and reward patient FPL managers.

Jarrod Bowen

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £7.4m
  • Projected points: 4.1

Jarrod Bowen continues to shine as West Ham's talisman, even in an underperforming side.

Leicester vs West Ham stats

According to the Match Centre feature, the England international has impressive stats from the last five games: joint-second for goals (1), top for expected goals (1.3), top for shots on target (5), joint-second for assists (1), and second for attempted assists (7).

In Gameweek 14, Bowen faces Leicester City, a team that has conceded the second-most goals in the league (27). This favourable matchup provides a strong opportunity for him to add to his attacking returns and reward Fantasy managers who keep faith in him.

Levi Colwill

  • Position: Defender
  • Cost: £4.5m
  • Projected points: 3.6

Chelsea’s young defender Levi Colwill may not be a major offensive threat, but at just £4.5m, he offers excellent value for FPL managers. With 3 clean sheets so far this season, Colwill has proven to be a reliable part of Chelsea’s steadily improving defence.

FPL team reveal

He also features in the lineup of the Elite XI: Team Reveal manager Corey Baker, who boasts an impressive record with 4 top-5k finishes.

In Gameweek 14, Chelsea face Southampton, a team struggling for consistency. This presents a great opportunity for Colwill to add to his clean sheet tally and provide valuable points for Fantasy managers.

Jurriën Timber

  • Position: Defender
  • Cost: £5.5m
  • Projected points: 3.5

Arsenal's Jurriën Timber has been a standout performer in defence this season. With three clean sheets and an impressive 12 attempted assists — the highest among Arsenal defenders — he offers a strong mix of defensive reliability and attacking potential.

Predicted clean sheets

Looking ahead to Gameweek 14, Arsenal face Manchester United, presenting another clean sheet opportunity. According to the Predicted Points & Stats, Arsenal are top-ranked for projected clean sheets over the next three gameweeks, making Timber a solid long-term option rather than just a short-term pick.

Conclusion: Differential Delight

These five differentials offer a mix of attacking threat and defensive solidity. With all of them owned by less than 10% of managers, they provide an excellent opportunity to gain an edge in your mini-leagues.

Remember, the key to success in FPL is not just following the crowd but identifying those hidden gems that can make a real difference. These players have the potential to do just that in Gameweek 14 and beyond.

As always, consider your overall team structure and upcoming fixtures when making transfers. Good luck, and may your arrows be green!
