GW8 FPL Differential Tips

Mesut Ozil

8.3m Arsenal Fulham, Leicester, Crystal Palace 3.5% TSB With no international duty on the horizon for the World Cup winning midfielder, and being rotated in the last Europa League game � it seems Ozil is hitting form in Emery's Arsenal. With 2 goals in the league and shockingly, no assists… Ozil sits as a major differential. With Son (8.3m) at the same price with Cardiff this weekend there are good options in the price bracket, and both Arsenal and Spurs have high xG over the next 6 gameweeks � With Arsenal sitting on 11.9 xG from the next 6 and Spurs sitting on 11.7 xG It is between these two for your mid priced midfield asset.

Kevin De Bruyne

9.7m Manchester City Liverpool, Burnley, Spurs 3.4% TSB Its October and KDB has 0 FPL points, he is only in ghost ship teams and your team probably doesn't have him in it. However, it is KDB, he is back in training and should be on the radar of every FPL manager as we move towards the international break. He should be fit and firing on all cylinders once we resume play on October 20th. That weekend see's the Belgian face up against Burnley at the Etihad in a perfect fixture for him to rediscover his role in the team. Watch to see what he does over the next 2-3 weeks in training, sub appearances or internationals then apply the 9.7m midfielder to your team. City sit 2nd top of the xG table with 13.1 Goals from the next 6 gameweeks and KDB with his 70 goal contributions in 3 seasons should be amongst the goals as City rotate between difficult and easy fixtures for the next few GWs.

Troy Deeney

6.1m Watford Bournemouth, Wolves, Huddersfield 5.7% TSB Possibly one of the best fixture runs coming up (other than Liverpool post Manchester City game) is that of Watford. Watford have started well this season with Holebas the most notable FPL asset. However, Gray and Deeney have been returning points uptop as Watford play a more old fashioned 4-4-2. Deeney, on penalties and with senior responsibilities in the side is the safer pick with Success breathing down the necks of the two strikers with goals in cup competitions so far this season. Deeney so far has 2 goals and an assist this season but is about to set out on a run of fixtures that includes Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Southampton � so could add to his 30 premier league goals in 3 seasons over the next few weeks.

Ricardo Pereira

5.1m Leicester Everton, Arsenal, West Ham 4.9% TSB Leicester could squeak a few clean sheets over the next 6 gameweeks, they sit about midtable for goals against / clean sheet opportunities, with notable chances like 37% against Cardiff and 34% against Burnley. However what stands out about Pereira is his positioning on the field. He has played a fair few games up at right wing, and with someone leaking Leicester's line ups to reddit before gameweeks start this Oop defender-come-midfielder could be a great bonus asset to your side. Leicester themselves have the 5th highest xG in the league for the next 6, scarily ahead of Chelsea, and Pereira could benefit from this. 3 assists and 2 clean sheets already for the Portuguese international, could he be an asset to your team?
