There are plenty of decisions to be made ahead of Double Gameweek 24 with Manchester City, Everton, Burnley, Fulham all having two games in DGW24. Adding to it, the injuries/fitness issues to DCL, Justin, Dias, Antonio, Wilson, Pope have not made things easy for managers ahead of FPL GW24. In this blog, we will cover differential picks with players having both Double Gameweek fixtures and the ones with tempting single GW fixtures. More importantly all these players are with <10% TSB and would help you shoot ranks in your mini-leagues. Check out our differentials picks for FPL GW24 below:
FPL DGW24 Differential picks
Differential assets playing twice in DGW24:
James Tarkowski vs Crystal Palace(A), Fulham(H) – TSB: 5.3%
To start with Burnley’s defensive numbers since GW19 does not look that promising- 12 big chances conceded(5th worst), 66 shots conceded inside the box(1st), xGC- 10.52(3rd worst). But to cut some slack they play Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Aston Villa over this period. Thinking slightly from a different point of view, their opponents for FPL GW24- Palace and Fulham have been struggling for goals and offer very less goal threat.
Palace and Fulham attacking metrics positions since FPL GW16:
| Metric | Crystal Palace | Fulham |
| Expected goals(xG) | 20th | 15th |
| Big Chances(BC) | 20th | 15th |
| Shots inside the box(SiB) | 19th | 11th |
| Shots on Target(SoT) | 20th | 15th |
| Goals(G) | 13th | 20th |
Coming to the choice of the Burnley defender, there are three nailed options in Tarkowski(5.3), Mee(5.0), Lowton(4.5). Lowton is the value for money pick but offers no attacking threat/ bonus points. Tarkowski’s numbers are slightly better compared to Mee and is surely due a attacking return. Since GW18, Tarkwoski has the most big chances(3), best xG(1.05) among defenders in the league. To add to this, Burnley’s GW24 opponent Crystal Palace have conceded the most headed shots on goal(45) since GW10.
Tarkowski vs Mee(Attacking threat this season):
- Big chances- 4 vs 1
- xG- 1.98 vs 1.24
- Shots inside the box- 11 vs 9
- Goals- 0 vs 2

Phil Foden vs Tottenham, Everton- TSB: 9.2%
With plenty of bad injuries news coming in during the midweek cup games, the best thing to have happened is Foden getting rested. He was rested, come on a substitute to play 24 minutes. This means that he will certainly start against Tottenham and may be even get a start against Everton too considering his form. He did put in a stellar performance against Liverpool getting 2 shots inside the box, 1 big chance, 2 assists, 1 goal to get 16 points– Most points in GW23. His record against Big 6 is stellar- 8 goals, 9 assists contributing to 17 goal involvements from 12 games. Though, there is very little to separate between Sterling, Gundogan and Foden from the numbers below, Foden offers differential potential but also frees up funds to get Kane/KDB in future.
Foden vs Sterling vs Gundogan Stats per 90 minutes this season:
- Shots- 2.46 vs 2.33 vs 2.20
- Shots inside the box- 2.20 vs 2.00 vs 0.90
- Big chances- 0.53 vs 0.72 vs 0.69
- xG- 0.36 vs 0.46 vs 0.41
- FPL points- 7.29 vs 6.28 vs 7.16

Other DGW Differentials for FPL GW24:
- Richarlison– Purely a gut pick with no stat backing. Surely a player of his caliber can’t keep blanking- No attacking returns since GW14.
- Lookman– Second best xA(1.69) in the league since GW20, only behind Fernandes(2.22) and Good Fixtures.
- Robinson– Value for money defender(4th def option at just 4.4) with possible attacking returns.

FPL GW24 Differential Picks:
Differential assets playing once in DGW24:
There are differential assets out of the four teams who play twice in GW24. If you are looking to wildcard in GW25 and fancy a one week punt then the below set of differentials could well be worth considering.
Edinson Cavani vs West Brom(A), TSB: 4.8%, £7.9 Mil
El Matador has been in very good form and has now cemented his place in the starting 11. With a lot of budget forwards including the likes of DCL and Antonio injured ahead of DGW24, Cavani could be a very good differential pick for this week against a West Brom side who are woeful out of form.
Since GW19, No forward has received as many big chances as Cavani(6) and he has scored thrice during the period from an xG of 2.47 a number bettered only by Watkins and Antonio. It is to be noted that Cavani has played just 368 minutes with Watkins and Antonio playing over 500 minutes.
Cavani is up against a WBA side who rank bottom for goals conceded, xG conceded, Big chances, and shot on target at home. Meanwhile, Manchester United have thrived away from home this season and top the goals scored(24), xG(22.42), Big chances(34), and Shots on target(66). The matchup seems to be favoring Man United heavily and Cavani will look to haul big. At £7.9 Mil Cavani could be the ideal DCL replacement for GW24.

Raphinha vs Arsenal (A), TSB: 2.5%, £5.3 Mil
If you are on FPL Twitter then you’ll know how highly FPL Managers value Raphinha. However, he is still very lowly owned overall with an ownership of just 2.5%. Leeds have a double gameweek in GW25 and also play in the blank game week in GW29 making it hard to look beyond.
In fact, Raphinha has the second-most points(33) for any player in the game since GW20 averaging 8 points per game with two goals and three assists in the last five games. Gundogan is the only player to have scored more FPL points during the period.
Raphinha would matchup against Cedric after Tierney has been ruled out for the leeds game. ARS conceded the 3rd most chances on their right side (17) in the last 4 games and we fully expect Raphinha to exploit the right flank of Arsenal and produce another haul ahead of a juicy DGW25.
Danny Ings vs Wolves(H), TSB:9.1%, £8.4 Mil
Ings and Southampton don’t play twice in GW24. But they have a confirmed double gameweek in 25 and could double in GW26 and GW27. At £8.4 Mil Ings could be the dream talisman with potentially 7 games in the next four-game weeks.
Wolves has conceded chances from the right side of the box where Ings usually thrives which makes it an interesting matchup.
Ings has not scored in the PL since scoring against Liverpool in GW17 but he did score against Wolves in the FA Cup midweek and has also been getting chances with Southampton slowly returning to full fitness. The attack has also been further bolstered by the arrival of Minamino and of course, there’s always penalties while factoring in Ings.
JWP, Minamino, KWP and Vestergaard could all be other good Southampton that could be worth considering if you have got one eye already on the DGW26.
