Top FPL GW9 Differential Picks(<10% TSB)

Yoane Wissa – Brentford – 5.9 Forward – 2.2 % TSB

• The return from injury for Wissa coincides with a great run of fixtures for Brentford. Wissa faces 2 promoted sides in the next 5 Gameweeks along with games against Everton, Fulham and Bournemouth. 
• Before he got injured, Wissa was the second-highest-scoring forward across the first four Gameweeks, scoring 3 Goals, 1 Assist, and 28 points. Ipswich concedes many big chances and is injury-ravaged, with both Greaves and Tuanzebe injured. They have conceded the most Big Chances in the League (34) and the most xGC so far (16.95). Brentford could have a field day at the G-Tech stadium. 
• Wissa had an xG of 2.3 with 4 Shots on Target and 7 Shots in the Box and was presented with 4 Big Chances. Infact before his injury he was everyone’s planned 3^rd Forward while playing the Wildcard in Gameweek 6. Perhaps now is the time to get him back again.

Garnacho – Man United –  6.2 Mid – 8.1 % TSB – 

• Garnacho has been United’s best-attacking player this season. He has the most attacking contributions for United so far. He is a Big Shot merchant and has had 22 Shots, 15 Shots in the Box and 10 Shots on Target. He has a very good xG of 2.75 and has the most Big Chances for Manchester United. He has been really unlucky to not get more attacking returns (offside goal due to Zirkzee against Brighton and hitting the bar quite a few times)
• West Ham have conceded an average of 2 Goals per game although their Defensive stats are actually better than Manchester United, but their team does not look settled under their New Manager. Garnacho is also no longer a rotation risk with 4 90 minute run-outs in the last 4 Gameweeks.
• The major advantage for Garnacho is that West Ham’s right flank have conceded the most shots in the League so far and that is where Garnacho will operate in this game.

Raul Jimenez – Fulham – 5.7 Forward – 8.3 % TSB –

• A Blast from the Past FPL Option is rolling back the years. What a season Raul Jimenez is having. He has displaced Muniz as the 1^st choice Forward for Fulham and is most likely to take their next Penalty, after Andreas’ penalty miss against Villa. Jimenez is also very good for Bonus

• Jimenez is averaging the most Big Chances for Fulham and is also their biggest aerial threat. His 19 Shots, 18 Shots in the box, and 10 Shots on Target are all team-leading totals. He has also scored or assisted in all 5 of his starts since Gameweek 4 and has got the 2^nd highest points among Forwards (36, 4 behind the 40 points of Watkins)

 Facundo Buonanotte – Leicester – 5.0 Midfielder – 1.5 % TSB –

• The most prolific attacker from Leicester has a couple of great fixtures to keep his great form going. He has started all of Leicester’s last 3 matches and has scored twice and supplied an Assist to score 21 points in that spell. 
• His 13 Shots, and 9 Shots in the Box are team-leading totals and he has a healthy xG of 2.03 while he has also supplied 9 Key passes so far and created 3 Big Chances for his teammates. Get him while he is in red-hot form.

FPL GW9 Ultra Differential Pick (Under 1 % Ownership)

Evan Ferguson – Brighton – 5.5 Forward – 0.3 % TSB – 

• A pure vibes pick from me this Gameweek. With Welbeck almost sure to miss this Gameweek and Pedro still injured, this could be Ferguson’s time to shine, who himself has returned from a long-term injury recently. He is expected to lead the line for Brighton this Gameweek.
• Wolves have conceded the most Goals so far and the 4^th most xGC and Big Chances. When fit, we all know what an impact Ferguson can have. He even scored a hat trick last season and will be looking to stay in the team with a good performance this Gameweek.

That’s it for Gameweek 9. We will be back with 6 More Differentials next Gameweek where we will be hoping to get some positive returns from our current selected Differentials for Gameweek 9.
