We recommended the 27-year-old French international back in Gameweek 26, and he has since delivered a 12-point haul against Southampton.
Despite limited minutes (697), Nkunku has managed 3 goals and 2 assists, accumulating 53 FPL points. His expected goals (xG) of 4.05 suggest he could have had even more attacking returns.
With a home fixture against Leicester City in Gameweek 28, he looks like the perfect differential.
Since Ruud van Nistelrooy took over in Gameweek 13, Leicester have struggled defensively. As shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox, they are the only team yet to keep a clean sheet in this period, and only Southampton (41) have conceded more goals than their 38.
At just 2.7% ownership, Nkunku could be the secret weapon your FPL team needs.
With Liverpool facing Southampton this gameweek, having three of their players feels almost essential. If you haven’t already, Hungary’s midfield maestro is well worth considering.
Szoboszlai has been a key part of Liverpool’s attack, registering 5 goals, 7 assists, and 110 FPL points. Recent form shown in the Match Centre feature further highlights his influence—over the last five games, he ranks: joint-second for goals (2), third for expected goals (1.0), second for shots on target (4), joint-third for assists (1), joint-second for attempted assists (6).
However, he blanks in Gameweek 29, so that’s something to consider. He’s a strong option if you plan to use your Free Hit chip or have solid bench cover for that week. If you're thinking about playing the chip, be sure to check out our Elite Manager's draft in our latest article.
Could Evanilson be the perfect replacement for the injured Mateta and suspended Cunha?
The 24-year-old Brazilian striker has been quietly impressive for Bournemouth this season. With 5 goals and 4 assists in just 1,395 minutes, he has accumulated 79 FPL points. His expected goals (xG) of 6.75 suggests he has been unlucky not to have scored more.
This is a somewhat speculative recommendation, as he has only just returned from injury. However, he played 67 minutes in the FA Cup against Wolves and scored. O. Dango has been fantastic in his absence, so it will be interesting to see how Evanilson is eased back into the team—a good selection headache for Bournemouth. Given the uncertainty, it might be worth waiting one more gameweek before making the move.
As shown in the Fixture Difficulty tool, the Cherries rank highest for attacking difficulty over the next three games. Owned by just 0.7% of managers, he could be the ultimate differential that sets your team apart.
The 23-year-old Algerian full-back has been a regular feature in the top differentials articles this season, and it’s easy to see why. With 3 goals, 5 assists, and 4 clean sheets, he has offered returns at both ends of the pitch.
Wolves face Everton at home in Gameweek 26, presenting another opportunity for points. As shown in the Predicted Points & Stats tool, Aït-Nouri ranks third among defenders for projected points over the next four games.
With Wolves set for a favourable run of fixtures and just 6.1% ownership, he could be a smart differential for managers looking to invest in defence or replace the highly owned Lewis Hall, who is likely to miss the rest of the season.
The 24-year-old French centre-back has been a rock at the heart of Crystal Palace's defence. With 8 clean sheets, 1 goal, and 2 assists, he has accumulated 87 FPL points this season. His expected goals (xG) of 1.88 suggests he is also a threat from set-pieces.
As shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox tool, Palace have recovered well defensively after a rocky start. They are joint-fifth for clean sheets (8) and have conceded the joint-fourth fewest goals (33).
Palace host Ipswich Town in Gameweek 26, offering a strong chance of a clean sheet and potential attacking returns. However, like Szoboszlai, Lacroix has a blank in Gameweek 29.
If you plan to use your Free Hit that week, the Fixture Difficulty Rating tool highlights Palace as having the second-best defensive fixtures after that, including a Double Gameweek 32.
These five differentials offer a unique opportunity to gain an edge in your mini-leagues and overall rank. While they all come with some level of risk, their low ownership and potential for returns make them exciting options for the bold FPL manager.
