Welcome back to another article highlighting Fantasy Premier League Differential Tips for Gameweek 21. This week Callum Read looks at five differentials ahead of Gameweek 21. In Gameweek 20 we saw Wayne Rooney finally end his goal drought with a clever flick, Rooney's goal and an inspired Anthony Martial performance gave Manchester United all three points against manageress Swansea. Elsewhere Guus Hiddink's Chelsea picked up three points away from home for the first time since August. Sunderland also grabbed three points after beating relegation rivals Aston Villa 3-1. . We are here to provide you with some differential tips that you could use for your side(s) in Gameweek 21. Don't forget to register your weekly team on both MondoGoal and FantasyBet. Please note, for all FPL tips players must be below 5.0% ownership to be considered a differential; and all prices and ownership's are accurate from the time of writing.

FPL Differential Tips

Andy Carroll (6.4m) vs Bournemouth (A) 0.2% Ownership

An impressive 45-minute spell and a goal against Southampton in GW19 earned the West Ham striker a start against his former club Liverpool in GW20. Carroll repaid Slaven Bilic's faith in him and went on to score his second goal in as many games. With Diafa Sakho out injured till March you wouldn't be mistaken for assuming that Carroll has displaced Mauro Zarate in the starting XI at least for the short-term future. The return of the wonderful Dimitri Payet should see more crosses delivered to the head of Carroll both this weekend against Bournemouth and in West Ham's upcoming fixtures.

Kurt Zouma (5.4m) vs West Brom (H) 3.9% Ownership

A few weeks ago you'd be crazy to consider a Chelsea defender but after back-to-back clean sheets against Manchester United and Crystal Palace; both of which came away from home your view could slowly be changing. There is a chance Gary Cahill will be back fit when Chelsea welcome West Brom but the form of Zouma makes us believe he is a certainty to start. Guus Hiddink has come into Chelsea and revitalised the side, they look a more secure defensively but credit has to go to Kurt Zouma who has been faultless in his last two appearances. His pace is certainly a massive advantage to Hiddink, we saw in the win over Crystal Palace how important his speed is as Zouma chased Wilfried Zaha into the box before executing an inch perfect tackle. The French defender has come agonisingly close to scoring in recent weeks, if he continues to provide a threat in the opposition box the Chelsea youngster may be celebrating more than a clean sheet.

Jermain Defoe (5.1m) vs Swansea (A) 2.0% Ownership

Okay, who else is jumping aboard the bandwagon? Defoe scored two goals last time out against a poor Aston Villa defence and will be hoping to continue his goal scoring form against Swansea. Big Sam and Defoe both have plenty of Premier League experience and know what it takes to take home the all important three points. The Sunderland manager has been in management long enough to know when a striker has confidence to play him, and it's fair to say his brace against Villa will give the English striker bags of it.

MondoGoal Differential Tips

Dusan Tadic (MondoGoal; 6.5m) vs Watford (H)

Tadic posses all the credentials to be a match winner for Southampton but doesn't do it regularly enough. This season the Serbian has four goals and five assists to his name with two of those assists coming in his last three games. The Watford defence can be stubborn and tough to break down at times, Ronald Koeman knows this and will be looking towards his creative winger to be pulling the strings against the Hornets. He's has a wonderful delivery the final third and can pick out a clever pass for his striker. Hopefully we can see Tadic recover some form because he is an excellent player on his day.

FantasyBet Differential Tips

Shinji Okazaki (FantasyBet; 5.5m) vs Tottenham (A)

Jamie Vardy's injury means Leicester's Japanese striker will get the chance to impress against Tottenham. The benefit of picking Okazaki in the Daily fame is you don't have to worry about the long-term effects of brining in the striker and transferring him out two weeks later. Although Leicester have failed to score in the past two weeks they certainly create chances, Vardy's absence gives the Leicester man the chance to prove his worth and add to his two Premier League goals this season and at just 5.5m he's an affordable differential on FantasyBet.
