With almost half the season coming to an end, the season has been exciting and mouthwatering to watch. We have picked out five players who we think could help you climb up your leagues. So check out our FPL GW 17 Differential picks for the upcoming week and get them in your team.
Raheem Sterling vs Arsenal (A) ( Ā£11.8m )
After having the best possible start anyone could wish for in the league scoring 5 in first 3 games, the English winger has gone missing lately.
The 25-year-old midfielder was tipped to be one of the contenders for the 2019/20 seasonās golden boot. But due to his recent poor form, he has been struggling to find the net regularly as he usually does.
Scoring just 1 goal in his last 6 premier league and managing just 17 points in the last 6 Gameweeks. The Man City midfielder has managed to bag 8 goals in the league and 15 goals all competition this season most for a city player.
Coming up against Arsenal against whom the midfielder managed to score 1 goal and provide 2 assists last season. The FPL GW 17 fixture is made for Sterling to find his form back as he is facing an Arsenal side who have conceded 24 goals this season and have been defending terribly.
James Ward-Prowse vs West Ham United (H) ( Ā£ 5.9m)
The Soton seems to have got their mojo back with 2-W 1-D 1-L in their last 4 Gameweeks and its James who has been immense lately. He has been tipped to be one of the FPL Gameweek 17 Differential picks for the week.
The 25-year-old midfielder has been impressive recently managing to bag 31 points in the last 6 Gameweeks. He has scored 4 goals(G) and provided 1 assist(A) this season and 3 Gās and 1 A have come in the last 6 Gameweeks.
Being the set-piece and penalty taker for Southampton, the midfielder is more likely to create impact, compared to his teammates.
Facing West Ham, a side who have conceded 28 goals this season and have just one point more than them, James might just step up big time.
Anthony Martial vs Everton(H) ( Ā£ 7.6m)
With a TSB of 5.6% and transfer in of over 50000 Anthony Martial has been tipped to be one the FPL Gameweek 17 Differential picks for the week.
The French International has scored 4 goals, provided 3 assists this season and has managed 6 goals all competition. The midfielder has been playing as a number 9 this season, giving him a lot of opportunities to create some impact.
The 24-year-old has started 9 matches in the league this season has 7 goal contributions. The Man United midfielder is coming up against Everton who have just managed to beat Chelsea the previous Gameweek with an impressive performance.
Anthony Martial has managed to score 4 goals in 7 matches against Everton in the premier league. He can be the difference-maker as they prepare to take on a rejuvenated toffees
George Baldock vs Aston Villa (H) ( Ā£ 4.7m)
With everyone going in for the likes Lundstram from Sheffield Unitedās defense, Baldock does seem like a cheap yet sensible option.
The English defender has managed to be involved in 5 goal contributions, he has scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists. Only Trent Alexander Arnold and Andy Robertson have more goal contributions than Baldock.
In the last 6, Gameweeks Baldock has bagged a total of 34 points. The Sheffield defender has managed to keep 5 clean sheets only 2 teams have kept more than 5.
Coming up against Aston Villa who have conceded a total of 28 goals and scored 23 this season, seems like an interesting match up for Sheffield. George Baldock has a TSB of 4.7%, which does seem surprising for a player of his stats and performances and is a solid option ahead of the FPL GW 17 deadline.
Martin Kelly vs Brighton and Hove Albion (H) ( Ā£ 4.3m)
Finding a defender who can be depended on for a clean sheet this season has been difficult.
With Joel Ward and Patrick Van Aanholt injured, Martin Kelly sure has upped his game this season.
Crystal Palace have managed to 6 clean sheets this season, which is the second most number of clean sheets managed by any team this season.
Martin Kelly although not a regular this season, has started in every single game that the Eagles have kept a clean sheet in this season.
With a number of favorable fixtures coming his way Kelly sure does seem like a good option.
- Brighton and Hove Albion (H)
- Newcastle (A)
- West Ham (H)
- Southampton (A)
- Norwich (A)
Facing Graham potterās Brighton will surely be a test of CPFCās solid defense as they have been impressive this season, scoring 20 goals.
