Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta has gone under the radar after a slow start to the season. However, with 4 goals in his last 3 games, he’s emerging as a key attacking threat. His expected goals (xG) of 9.74 indicate he’s been slightly unlucky not to surpass his season total of 8 goals.
The Opta Heatmaps tool shows that the 27-year-old averages 3.9 FPL points per home game—the highest among Crystal Palace players. Up next, he faces Brentford at Selhurst Park, a team that has conceded a league-high 214 shots in 10 away matches.
At just 5.7% ownership, Mateta offers excellent differential potential and could be the striker your team needs to gain an edge.
Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo has been hitting form in recent weeks. According to the Match Centre feature, he’s been Liverpool’s biggest goal threat after Salah over the last five games, contributing 3 goals, 2.1 xG, and 6 shots on target.
The Dutch forward faces Ipswich Town in Gameweek 23, followed by a double gameweek against Bournemouth and Everton. With just 10% ownership, Gakpo presents an excellent opportunity as a shrewd differential pick.
Tottenham's Swedish maestro, Dejan Kulusevski, has been a standout performer this season despite his team’s underwhelming campaign. With 6 goals and 4 assists to his name, he’s been a key figure for Spurs.
Over the last four games, Kulusevski has attempted 17 assists—the most of any Spurs player—according to his Opta Passmap. This includes 2 ‘big chances’ created and an xA (expected assists) of 1.53, again the highest in the team.
In Gameweek 23, Kulusevski faces Leicester City at home, a side yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this season. At just 5.9% ownership, he’s a prime differential pick for FPL managers.
Liverpool’s towering centre-back, Ibrahima Konaté, has been a rock in the Reds’ defence. With 6 clean sheets in just 15 appearances, he offers a budget-friendly way into Liverpool’s backline, as shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox he is £0.4m cheaper than A. Becker. Adding to his appeal, Konaté has also contributed a goal and an assist, highlighting his aerial threat from set-pieces.
In Gameweek 23, he faces Ipswich Town—a promising fixture where another clean sheet looks likely. At just 4.5% ownership, Konaté is a differential defender with high potential.
However, as noted in our Liverpool Defenders Comparison blog, Konaté has been playing with the aid of painkillers, which raises some concerns about his fitness. FPL managers should keep an eye on any team news ahead of the deadline.
Liverpool’s world-class goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, rounds off our list of differentials. With 6 clean sheets and 6 bonus points in just 13 games, Alisson has been a consistent source of FPL points.
In Gameweek 23, he faces Ipswich Town—a fixture that offers a strong chance of another clean sheet. Looking ahead, the Predicted Points & Stats tool highlights Liverpool as the top team for projected clean sheets over the next six gameweeks, thanks in part to their additional fixture in the upcoming double gameweek.
Owned by only 7.8% of managers, Alisson is a premium goalkeeper differential who could deliver big rewards in the coming weeks.
These five differentials offer a unique opportunity to gain an edge in your FPL mini-leagues. With a mix of attacking threat and defensive stability, they provide options across the pitch. Remember, sometimes it's the under-the-radar picks that can make the biggest difference in Fantasy Premier League.
Consider incorporating one or more of these hidden gems into your team for Gameweek 23. Their low ownership means that if they perform well, you'll be among the few managers reaping the rewards. So, dare to be different and watch your FPL team climb the ranks!
