Top FPL GW3 Differential Picks

Morgan Gibbs White vs West Ham(H) – £7.5 Midfielder – 5.7 % TSB

• 3 great games coming up against whipping boys West Ham and the promoted duo of Burnley & Sunderland makes Gibbs White a tempting differential to consider for the upcoming Gameweeks. Gibbs-White’s returns from last season mostly came in fixtures against the bottom half of the table. These attacking returns came against Leicester, Southampton, Everton, Wolves, Brighton, West Ham, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Fulham, Ipswich & Manchester City.
• The West Ham game could be a great matchup as Pedro got 1 Goal and 2 Assists playing as Number 10 and this is where Gibbs White will operate in this fixture. West Ham have also conceded the most Big Chances (9) in the League and the 2^nd most shots from Headed attempts (7). Gibbs White takes a share of set pieces and with Forest having towering bodies, he could get an Assist as well.
• Gibbs White got an assist in Gameweek 1 and was unlucky not to score also before blanking against a tight Crystal Palace defence on the weekend. He is also a consistent performer with 140+ points over the last 3 seasons. He is also the talisman for the team in terms of creating chances for his team.

Neco Williams vs West Ham(H) – £5.0 Defender – 9.1 % TSB

• 3 great games coming up against whipping boys West Ham and the Promoted duo of Burnley & Sunderland makes the Forest Defence a keep in our FPL Teams for the upcoming Gameweeks. West Ham really struggled against crosses in the box as they conceded 4 goals from crosses against Chelsea. Williams who has a great cross on him could profit by whipping the balls in the box for target men such as Wood, Milenkovic to head the Goals in.
• West Ham, Burnley and Sunderland are in the Bottom 5 for Goal threat so far this season. Forest should start keeping Clean Sheets and Neco Williams is one of those rare full backs who does for Def-cons as well as attacking threat. He got 1 Goal and 3 Assists last season. He has also created 1 Big Chance and played 2 key passes for his team-mates.

Ismaila Sarr vs Aston Villa(A) – £6.5 Midfielder – 5.2 % TSB

• With people searching for Saka & Palmer replacements, here comes a man who scored last Gameweek and will be Palace’s main Goal threat from Midfield. Sarr is a high volume shot taker who averages close to 2 shots and 1 Shot on Target per game.
• Now comes the interesting part. Sarr plays Villa this Gameweek against whom he has a brilliant record. 7 goals and 3 assists in his last 6 starts. 

• Villa also look really shaky in defence. Sarr then plays Sunderland at home who struggled in their away game against Burnley and West Ham who have looked absolutely terrible. Finally Sarr plays Liverpool who have looked shaky defensively and we all know what Sarr did against Liverpool when he played for relegated Watford (2 Goals against them which ultimately ended their Invincible campaign)

Patrick Dorgu vs Burnley(H)– £4.5 Defender – 8.5 % TSB

• Dorgu will play against a Burnley team who usually struggle to score goals under Scott Parker, especially away from home. United have kept things tight and are ranked top to keep a Clean sheet this Gameweek.
• Dorgu had a fiery display against Arsenal as he hit the woodwork. He spends most of the time playing in the opposition’s half and had a good goal-scoring record for his former club Lecce, scoring 5 Goals.

• If you like to live off the edge, Dorgu is your type of player, otherwise you can go with a boring & reliable Def-con hogger like De-Ligt.

Jack Grealish vs Wolves(A) – £6.5 Midfielder – 5.7 % TSB

• Grealish loves being the Big Dog and that is what he will be at Everton. He showed that will a brilliant display against Brighton where he got 2 Assists and also came to close to get 2 Def-cons as he finished with 11 Defensive Contributions. Despite starting only 1 Gameweek he is ranked 3^rd for xA with 0.7. He created 1 Big Chance and played 3 key passes.

Top Players for Expected Assists This season:

• Estevao- 0.98
• Brooks- 0.86
• Grealish- 0.7
• Barnes- 0.69
• Kudus- 0.67

• Grealish will face a Wolves team who have conceded 3.73 xG which is the 2^nd worst in the League. They have conceded 5 Big Chances and 8 Shots on Target. Grealish will likely take a share of set pieces for Everton and with a World Cup coming next year, he will likely do everything possible to get on the plane to the United States. Born in Birmingham, he will have an extra incentive to score against local rival Wolves and then have a emotional game against Aston Villa in Gameweek 4.

Ultra Differential Pick for FPL GW3(Under 1 % Ownership)

Kevin Schade vs Sunderland(A) – £7.0 Midfielder – 0.3 % TSB

• Schade was termed as the Promotion Team killer as he got FPL returns against all the promoted teams from last season. Despite this season’s promoted teams starting strong, Schade could continue his streaky nature of picking up FPL returns against Sunderland this Gameweek.
• He is a 1 week punt as Brentford’s fixtures will really toughen from Gameweek 4 and that is why Brentford will be up to get full points against Sunderland this Gameweek. With Scahde’s rapid pace, he could take advantage of Sunderland’s backline and it would not surprise us if he did the same as Dango did last Gameweek.
