Antonee Robinson presents an intriguing differential option in defense for Gameweek 2. The Fulham left-back has caught the eye of many FPL managers, with a modest 9.4% ownership and 80k transfers in. His high transfers in could be due to him being an ideal replacement for Quansah. Robinson's attacking potential combined with Fulham's solid home record makes him an attractive prospect.
Robinson could be an excellent differential for the next three Gameweeks, as Fulham tops the Fixture Analyser for this period.
In the 2023/24 season, Robinson showcased his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively. His overlapping runs and crossing ability make him a threat for potential assists, while Fulham's improved defensive organisation under Marco Silva increases his clean sheet potential.
With a home fixture against newly-promoted Leicester City, Robinson has a good chance of delivering returns at both ends of the pitch. The projected 4.0 points suggest a balanced performance, with the potential for more if Fulham can keep a clean sheet or if Robinson contributes to the attack.
Kevin De Bruyne, surprisingly, finds himself in the differential category with only 8.2% ownership. The Belgian maestro's slightly lower price point of £9.5m makes him an enticing option for those looking to invest in Manchester City's attacking potential.
De Bruyne's 2023/24 season was hampered by injuries, but his quality is undeniable. When fit, he's one of the premier midfielders in the game, known for his exceptional vision, pinpoint passing, and ability to rack up assists and goals.
With a home fixture against Ipswich Town, De Bruyne is projected to score an impressive 7.2 points. Manchester City's attacking prowess, combined with De Bruyne's set-piece responsibilities, makes him a potentially explosive differential pick.
De Bruyne's high projected points are driven by Man City's expected strong performance, with the team predicted to score over three goals, according to the ChatFPL AI assistant tool shown above. As a key player, De Bruyne is likely to be central to their attacking efforts.
Chris Wood emerges as an interesting differential option in the forward line. With just 6.4% ownership, the Nottingham Forest striker could prove to be a shrewd pick for those looking to differentiate their teams.
In the 2023/24 season, Wood scored 14 goals in 31 appearances, averaging 0.45 goals per game. With 131 FPL points, he was Forest's second-highest scorer, trailing only Gibbs-White, who earned 142 points.
Facing Southampton away, Wood is projected to score 4.0 points. This suggests a decent chance of attacking returns, possibly a goal or an assist. Southampton's potential defensive vulnerabilities could play into Wood's hands, making him a rewarding differential pick.
Muniz (7% ownership) from Fulham, priced the same as Wood, could be a strong alternative. His impressive stats and returns for the 2023/24 season, highlighted in the Opta Heatmaps tool, suggest he might be a safer option—especially since Nottingham Forest are rumoured to be pursuing Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal.
As we gear up for Gameweek 2, these three differentials offer exciting possibilities for FPL managers looking to climb the ranks. Antonee Robinson provides defensive stability with attacking potential, Kevin De Bruyne offers world-class midfield prowess at a slightly discounted price, and Chris Wood presents a budget-friendly option in attack with a favourable fixture.
