Top FPL GW12 Differential Picks(<10% TSB)

Jurrien Timber – Arsenal – 5.5 Defender – 1.4 % TSB

• With White injured, Timber will now seek to cement his spot in the team for their brilliant fixture run coming up.

• Timber has great attacking stats with 10 key passes played (4^th best among Arsenal players) and 6 Shots (2^nd best for Arsenal defenders after Gabriel).
• Arsenal have the 3^rd best defensive stats after Liverpool & Forest and with a run of fixtures against Forest, West Ham, Fulham, Everton, Palace, Ipswich in the next 7 Gameweeks, expect Arsenal to rack up more clean sheets. Getting Timber for 0.5 cheaper than the other Arsenal defenders could be a steal.

Levi Colwill – Chelsea – 4.5 Midfielder – 3.0 % TSB

• A Nailed Chelsea defender facing Leicester & Southampton in the next 3 Gameweeks and the brilliant fixture run that continues till March is too good an offer to pass down. Chelsea top the fixture ticker till Gameweek 22.
• He could be a perfect replacement for the injured Trent, any Everton & Brentford defender whose fixtures are about to turn worse or even a rotation risk Rico Lewis. Chelsea tend to do well against bottom table teams & could rack up some clean sheets in the near future.

Cody Gakpo – Liverpool – 7.1 Forward – 2.1 % TSB

• Looking for a one week punt. Gakpo is your man this Gamewwek. With Diaz & Darwin playing matches late in South America & Jota injured & Gakpo rested for the 2^nd international game for Netherlands, all signs point to Gakpo getting a start against bottom of the table Southampton.
• Southampton have the 3^rd worst Defensive stats in the League and at home their xGC is the worst (they have conceded an average of 4 big chances per game at home). They also concede the 2^nd most shots in the League from the left & centre & Gakpo is most likely to play up top this Gameweek. He could haul big time this Gameweek.

Rasmus Hojlund – Manchester United – 6.9 Forward – 1.7 % TSB

• With United set to play under Ruben Amorim for the first time, who is a brilliant attacking minded coach, United should start scoring more goals soon. Under Amorim it’s the Central Striker who gets the most Goalscoring opportunities (a certain Viktor Gyokeres comes to mind, 1 for FPL maybe next season). Hojlund will be the man spearheading United’s attack in the next few games.
• We all know that Rasmus had a great streak of scoring goals last season for United and he could not stop scoring until he got injured. United will face an Ipswich team which has the worst Defensive stats in the League. They concede the most big chances in the League and average more than 2 goals conceded per game. This could be the start of another scoring streak for Rasmus.

 Pedro Neto – Chelsea – 6.2 Midfielder – 1.1 % TSB

• Slowly but surely Pedro Neto seems to have established himself in the Chelsea lineup in the last 3 Gameweeks, playing 90 minutes in each. A goal against Arsenal & then for Portugal should do his confidence a world of good. If Neto starts against Leicester and continues his good for, it will be difficult to displace him from the starting lineup.

Pedro Neto in last 3 matches:

• Minutes- 270
• Shots- 10
• xGI- 1.1
• Chances created- 5
• Big Chances created- 2

• Leicester’s defensive stats are not good. Only Ipswich have conceded more big chances than Leicester and average around 2 per game. They have also conceded the most shots from the left wing, the wing where Neto will be playing this Gameweek. Could be a risk worth taking.

FPL GW12 Ultra Differential Pick (Under 1 % Ownership)

Harry Wilson – Fulham – 5.2 Midfielder – 0.4 % TSB

• Impact sub Harry Wilson has got 3 Goals from his last 16 minutes of football. But his form could help him get a starting berth for Fulham possibly displacing Nelson from the team.
• Wolves have had horrible defensive stats so far this season and Fulham are always a tough team to beat at their own patch. Wolves have conceded the 3^rd most shots from their right and this is where Wilson is likely to feature this Gameweek. Can he keep his form going? Only time will tell.

That’s it for Gameweek 12. 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 12.
