Gameweek 24 was a set of fixtures dominated by the defences, there were 10 clean sheets kept across the board. It was also a week where the big hitters provided plenty of points, Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane, and Wayne Rooney all got on the score sheet but the headlines went to Jamie Vardy for his stunning goal in Leicester's 2-0 win over Liverpool.
We are here to provide you with some differential tips that you could use for your side(s) in Gameweek 25.

FPL Differential Tips
Fraser Forster (4.8m) vs West Ham (H) 1.0% Ownership
Form: 6, 6, 12 /
PPG: 8.0 /
Clean Sheets: 3 /
BPS: 3 /
Saves: 11
In what has been a successful return to first team football Forster has kept four consecutive clean sheets and in the 0-0 draw against Arsenal recorded a mind blowing 10 saves against. The Southampton defence look a lot more secure with the Englishman between the sticks.
This weekend the Saints welcome West Ham to St Mary's, now if you compare at their seasons you'd imagine West Ham would score one or two past Ronald Koeman's side but after clean sheets against Manchester United and Arsenal � both of which came away from home you have to fancy another one in this encounter.
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson (4.0m) vs Chelsea (A) 0.4% Ownership
Form: 1, 6, 11 / PPG: 6.0 / Clean Sheets: 2 / Assists: 1 / Chances Created: 2 / BPS: 2
We've twiddled our thumbs over tipping the young Manchester United defender as an away trip to Chelsea isn't the easiest of fixtures, but Guus Hiddink's side still lack something in the final third, if United can prevent them penetrating their defence the could keep yet another clean sheet.
At just 19-years-old the Manchester United academy graduate has looked like a seasoned pro, he initially looked a little bit shaky but considering his situation and age it's easy to forgive him. His final ball is something to admire he really tests opposition defenders and keepers by putting the ball into the corridor of uncertainty and causing confusion.
Benik Afobe (6.1m) vs Arsenal (H) 0.5% Ownership
Form: 7, 8, 8 / PPG: 7.6 / Goals: 3 / BPS: 5 /
Shots on Target: 4
/ Chances Created: 6
There were some question marks surrounding the signing of Benik Afobe, many were unsure if he was able to step up to the Premier League but after three goals in four games he's doing a great job of proving those critics wrong.
This tip comes will raise some eyebrows considering Arsenal is a tough fixture but with 9 points from 21 since Boxing Day, why couldn't Afobe score against his former club? The incentive is certainly there and he also offers a cheap 3rd striker option and more importantly goals on a regular basis. So although this fixture will be a tough one for Bournemouth they certainly have a chance of coming away with the three points.
Steven Naismith (MondoGoal: 4.4m) vs Aston Villa (A)
Goals: 1 / Assists: 1 / Shots on Target: 3 / Chances Created: 0
Steven Naismith made a great start to his Norwich career scoring on his debut in the thrilling 5-4 defeat to Liverpool. This weekend Norwich travel to Aston Villa, a game Alex Neils side have to win if they are to stay in the Premier League. On his day Naismith is a wonderful player and he could really improve Norwich.
Looking at Aston Villa's home form this season makes this MondoGoal pick even more appealing, Remi Garde's side have the worst away form in the league winning only one game in front of their own fans. Having lost their previous four matches the Canaries will be determined to turn around their fortunes in this relegation matchup.
Adam Lallana (FantasyBet: 7.0m) vs Sunderland (H)
Goals: 1
/ Assists: 1
/ Shots on Target: 2 /
Chances Created: 4
Considering Sunderland's away form this season you have to consider some Liverpool coverage on FantasyBet. The Black Cats have only won two away games this season, losing nine and drawing one. Throughout these 12 games they've conceded a league high of 34 goals.
Roberto Fimrino is the obvious choice, so he's out the question, Jurgen Klopp seems to really like the English midfielder and despite his goals and assists numbers have been relatively low (1 Goal, 4 Assists) the matchup against a poor Sunderland side gives him the perfect chance to change this.
