Top FPL GW29 Differential Picks(<10% TSB)

Morgan Gibbs White – Forest – 6.6 Midfielder – 7.8 % TSB

• An under the radar pick who has 13 attacking returns over the last 14 gameweeks. Only Salah had more attacking returns among midfielders during the period. He has averaged 6.4 points per match over this period and has returned in 10 of those 14 Games. Compared to Elanga & Huson Odoi, Gibbs White is more consistent player for Forest and plays more minutes than both of them.

•  Ipswich are in the Top 4 for Shots conceded, Shots in the Box conceded and Shots on Target conceded. Ipswich are also ranked in the Top 2 for xGC conceded and Big Chances conceded. Ipswich also concede a high volume of Big Chances from the Centre of the pitch, which is where Gibbs White will operate.
• Gibbs White has great stats too with 17 Shots on Target, 27 Shots in the Box, and 3 Big Chances. He has created 7 Big Chances and played 38 Key passes for his teammates.

Evanilson – Bournemouth – 5.6 Forward – 2.4 % TSB –

• Despite only starting 18 Games this season, Evanilson has 10 attacking returns this season. He also has the 2^nd most Shots in the Box among Bournemouth players (40 in 18 Games).  He has had 24 Shots on Target and been presented with 13 Big Chances. He has also created 3 Big Chances and played 17 key passes for his teammates.
• Evanilson also has 2 Goals in his last 2 Goals and should start ahead of Dango as the Central Striker. Bournemouth have been good going forward, scoring 45 goals (seventh-most) with an xG of 47.69 (fourth-best). This game has the potential to be high-scoring and could reward any attacker playing in this fixture. The odds suggest more than 2.5 goals.
• This season Brentford have conceded 121 chances from the centre, and only Southampton have conceded more chances from the centre(141) than the Bees. They’re also poor at defending-headed attempts, with 72-headed attempts conceded so far this season(Joint 4th most in the League). This should favour Evanilson who will play centrally and is a big threat in the air. Brentford are also ranked in the Bottom 3 for Shots conceded, Shots on Target conceded and Shots in the Box conceded. This game could be a field day for most Bournemouth attackers.

Nikola Milenkovic – Forest –  4.8 Defender – 8.7 % TSB – 

• The team with the joint most clean sheets in the League come up against an Ipswich side which has scored just 26 goals so far this season (3rd fewest) and remain in the bottom three for xG as well. Forest have not allowed teams like Arsenal & Man City to score against them in the last 2 Gameweeks. 

• Milenkovic already has 3 Goals & 1 Assist this season and is a menace on set pieces. His 18 Headed Attempts rank top among all Defenders this season. Forest have conceded the 2^nd fewest big chances in the League, only behind Arsenal. They are joint 3^rd for the fewest goals conceded in the League. This should be a comfortable win with a decent chance of a clean sheet.

Raul Jimenez – Fulham –  5.5 Forward –  7.7 % TSB – 

• Jimenez now has 10 Goals & 3 Assists this season from only 22 starts. Jimenez actually leads all FPL forwards in the last 6 Gameweeks for shots in the Box. He has had 18. Overall he has had 28 Shots on Target, 65 Shots in the Box, and 19 Big Chances this season. He has created 6 Big Chances and played 15 key passes for his teammates. He also has penalties in his locker and is a major threat from set-pieces, which supplements his goal and assist output from open play.
• Only the bottom three teams have conceded more expected goals (xG) and Big Chances than Spurs in the Premier League this season and thus it is a plum fixture for any forward-thinking player. Add to the fact that Spurs played a tiring Midweek Europa League game while Fulham have had a week off, which should guarantee Jimenez to start this Gameweek.

Alejandro Garnacho – Manchester United –  5.9 Midfielder –  4.9 % TSB

• Garnacho played 90 minutes against Arsenal and won the free kick which Bruno converted. He even earned praise from Head Coach Ruben Amorim recently and should retain his place against Leicester this weekend. Leicester have allowed the most shots in the league from their left and this match should suit Garnacho if he starts on the right side of the United attack.
• Garnacho only has 6 Attacking returns this season (being in and out for a poor Manchester United team). He however has some great stats and has underperformed badly this season. He has had 23 Shots on Target, 44 Shots in the Box, and has been presented with 14 Big Chances. He has created 4 Big Chances and played 23 key passes for his teammates.
• Leicester are conceding a high volume of big chances. They’re conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game and aren’t keeping clean sheets. Their home xGC is the fifth worst in the league and they concede an average of close to two goals per game. They have conceded the third most big chances in the league and the second most shots in the box and are the second worst at defending set-pieces.

FPL GW29 Ultra Differential Pick
(Under 1 % Ownership)

Marcus Tavernier – Bournemouth –  5.4 Midfielder – 0.4 % TSB

• Tavernier has only been restricted to 15 Starts this season but he has still scored 3 Goals and 6 Assists in that time. Tavernier’s stats are decent with 14 Shots on Target, 20 Shots in the Box, and 8 Big Chances. Creativity wise he has played 35 key passes and created 5 Big Chances for his team-mates. Tavernier has slowly stepped up his game time after coming back from injury and has 2 Goals and 2 Assists in the last 6 Gameweeks.
• Brentford are also ranked in the Bottom 3 for Shots conceded, Shots on Target conceded and Shots in the Box conceded. This game could be a field day for most Bournemouth attackers. This game has the potential to be high-scoring and could reward any attacker playing in this fixture. The odds suggest more than 2.5 goals.

That’s it for gameweek 29. 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 29.
