The Foxes have conceded 19 goals on the road in six matches, the second-worst tally in the league. They also have the fourth-worst record for big chances conceded on their travels.

Vitalii Mykolenko vs Leicester(H), £4.5, TSB: 0.9%

FPL Gameweek 15 Differential Picks ~ Vitalii Mykolenko

Mykolenko has been part of an Everton defense that has the fourth-best defense in the league, they have let in a mere 12 goals. That tally is even better when it comes to matches at Goodison park. Indeed, Frank Lampard’s men have let in the least amount of goals(4) at their own backyard.

The Foxes seem to have an apparent weakness down the right side of their defense. Indeed, the 32% of chances they have conceded down the right, away from home, is the worst tally in the league. The Foxes also have the second-worst NPxGA on the road.

In all games as well this season Leicester have conceded more chances on the right, also 5th worst in the league

West Ham’s upcoming fixtures

The Hammers arguably have the best set of fixtures prior to the break. After a tricky start at home, David Moyes’ men have won each of their last three home games. Bowen in particular has taken a liking to the home stadium. Each of his three attacking returns this season have come at home. Last season, 10 of his 12 goals came at home. He also has scored in 3 out of the 4 home games in Europe this season.

Aaron Cresswell vs Crystal Palace(H), £4.8, TSB: 2.6%

FPL Gameweek 15 Differential Picks ~ Aaron Cresswell vs Crystal Palace(H)

West Ham’s improved form has been down to having a solid defense, especially at home. The Hammers have conceded just 1 goal in their last three home matches. In fact, only Manchester City have conceded fewer shots on target at home than Moyes’ men.

Defenders sorted by key passes going into FPL Gameweek 15
Selected defenders key stats so far ~FFHub

Cresswell has been close to an attacking return for some time now. The Left-back has created 3 big chances so far this season, only three other defenders have created more. The West Ham man is also second only to Trippier for key passes played among those at the back. Therefore, he is not only in line for an attacking return, but he is also in line for bonus points too.

Much like Bowen, Cresswell has also favored home games in recent times. Last season, five of his six attacking returns were at home. He picked up two bonus points in his previous appearance at home. More could be on the way.

Meanwhile, no team has had fewer big chances(5), and lesser than xG(4.57) than Crystal Palace so far away from home. The Chances of West Ham keeping clean sheet in this game is very high.

Rodrigo vs Bournemouth(H), £6.3, TSB: 5.7%

FPL Gameweek 15 Differential Picks ~ Rodrigo

After struggling for form and fitness since his injury back in GW5, Rodrigo finally seems to have regained his form. The Spaniard has scored in back-to-back games, for the first time since GW3.

Leeds players key stats ~FFHub

Despite missing a fair chunk of the season, Rodrigo has had way more shots in the box than any of his teammates. He is also second only to Bamford for big chances and xG among Leeds players. In fact, he is the third best in the league for shots in the box among midfielders.

Leeds’ opponents Bournemouth have been the worst team on the road so far this season, in terms of goals conceded(20). Indeed, you could make a case for 9 of those goals being conceded in one game. However, 11 goals let in, in the other five games is also one of the worst per-game ratio in the league.

Rodrigo has been prolific at home so far this season. Five of his seven attacking returns this season, have come at Elland Road.

Estupinan tops key passes amongst Brighton defenders

Estupiñán has been performing really well in BPS for Brighton. He has the fourth-best BPS per 90 among his compatriots, the most among defenders. The fullback has also created two big chances so far, only three players have created more for the Seagulls.

Brighton upcoming fixtures

Brighton’s remaining two games are favorable defensively. No team has scored fewer goals so far this season than the Wolves(6). They also have the worst tally at home(3). Meanwhile, Aston Villa have scored the second-fewest number of goals away from home(3). Therefore, Brighton’s chances of keeping clean sheets in each of their next two games are high!
