While Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers are the standout attacking options from Aston Villa for their double gameweek, Jacob Ramsey could be a smart differential pick at under 10% ownership.
The 22-year-old midfielder has shown glimpses of brilliance this season despite limited game time. He has managed 41 FPL points from just 1,004 minutes, with one goal (against West Ham in Gameweek 23) and two assists. His 0.36 big chances per 90 minutes is bettered only by Lucas Digne (0.56) in the squad.
As shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox tool, since returning to the team in Gameweek 20, Ramsey has recorded 18 FPL points—second only to Watkins (24) among Villa players. He also found the net in Villa’s FA Cup win over Spurs last weekend.
With fixtures against Ipswich Town and Liverpool in DGW25, Ramsey offers an intriguing differential option. However, the arrival of Marcus Rashford could put his minutes at risk.
Arsenal’s Belgian playmaker, Leandro Trossard, could see increased minutes following a string of injuries in the Gunners' attack.
This boost in game time might secure his spot in the starting lineup for a favourable run of fixtures—beginning with a trip to Leicester City in GW25, followed by a home match against West Ham in GW26.
The 29-year-old has been quietly effective this season, tallying 85 FPL points from 1,451 minutes. With four goals, five assists, and nine big chances created, his underlying numbers are strong. His xG (4.49) and xA (4.73) suggest he’s delivering in line with expectations.
According to the Match Centre feature, which analyses Arsenal’s last five games, Trossard ranks in the top five for both goal threat and creative stats. If he gets more minutes, his attacking involvement is likely to increase.
With Arsenal pushing for an unlikely title challenge against Liverpool, Trossard could emerge as a valuable differential in the coming weeks.
Bournemouth’s Burkinabé winger Dango Ouattara has been a standout performer in recent Gameweeks. The 21-year-old has amassed 61 points in his last 10 games, largely due to his hat-trick in Bournemouth’s emphatic win over Nottingham Forest, making him an intriguing differential option.
Ouattara has played a key role for the Cherries, registering six goals and four assists this season. His underlying stats are just as promising—his xG of 7.73 and xA of 4.56 suggest he’s been unlucky not to have even more attacking returns.
In a recent article, we compared Ouattara with teammates Semenyo and Kluivert, each offering their own strengths.
However, Elite XI: Team Reveal manager Philman, who boasts an impressive nine top 10k finishes, has opted for the budget-friendly Ouattara in his squad.
With a favourable GW25 fixture against Southampton, Ouattara could be a smart differential for managers looking to get ahead of the curve.
Aston Villa’s French full-back Lucas Digne offers an appealing mix of attacking threat and clean sheet potential. However, there is some risk, as he has played just 45 minutes in two of the last three games.
Despite this, his underlying stats remain strong. He has recorded 63 points in 24 games, providing four assists and creating 11 big chances— a tally bettered only by Alexander-Arnold (13) among defenders, as shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox.
With Villa facing Ipswich Town and Liverpool in DGW24, Digne could be a high-risk, high-reward differential pick for those willing to gamble on his minutes.
Crystal Palace’s Colombian right-back Daniel Muñoz has been a reliable performer this season. The 27-year-old has accumulated 88 points from 23 games, making him an appealing differential option.
Muñoz has contributed well in attack, scoring two goals and providing four assists. His xG of 3.88 suggests he has been slightly unfortunate not to deliver even more FPL returns.
His Opta Heatmap highlights just how attacking he is—he has taken 70 touches in the opposition’s box, a tally bettered only by Gvardiol (76) among defenders. In the Palace squad, only Mateta (72) and Sarr (84) have more.
With seven clean sheets already this season, Muñoz offers a strong balance of defensive and attacking potential. As Palace face Everton in GW25, he could be a smart addition to your FPL squad.
These five differentials offer exciting opportunities to gain an edge in Double Gameweek 25 and beyond. While they all come with their own risks, their low ownership and potential for high returns make them worthy of consideration for your FPL team.
Remember, successful FPL management often involves calculated risks. These under-the-radar picks could be the key to unlocking your team's potential and climbing up the rankings. Choose wisely, and may your arrows be green!
