GW6 FPL Differential Picks: Uncovering Hidden Gems

As we dive deeper into the Fantasy Premier League season, finding those hidden gems that can give you an edge over your rivals becomes crucial. Today, we're exploring some exciting differential picks that could boost your team's performance while flying under the radar of most managers.

Forward Firepower

Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea, £7.7m): Jackson has been on fire lately, averaging 7.0 points per game with an impressive form of 7.7. With 4 goals and 2 assists already, plus a massive 16-point haul in the last gameweek, he's a steal at £7.7m and is only owned by 12.6% of managers.

Danny Welbeck (Brighton, £5.8m): Welbeck offers incredible value at just £5.8m, averaging 6.2 points per game with a form of 3.3. With only 19.2% ownership and a recent 6-point return, he's a great differential option.

Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest, £6.1m): Wood has been in fine form (6.3), averaging 5.8 points per game. At £6.1m and with just 9.3% ownership, he's an interesting differential pick. His 8-point haul in the last gameweek shows his potential.

Kai Havertz (Arsenal, £8.1m): Havertz has been finding his feet at Arsenal, averaging 5.2 points per game with a form of 4.0. With 17.3% ownership and a recent 2-point return, he's still a decent differential option, but consider his higher price point compared to other options.

Midfield Marvels

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford, £7.2m): Mbeumo has been on fire, averaging 6.8 points per game with a form of 8.0. With 4 goals already, only 16.1% ownership, and an 8-point haul in the last gameweek, he's a fantastic differential pick.

Harvey Barnes (Newcastle, £6.5m): Barnes has been explosive when fit, averaging 6.6 points per game with a form of 9.0. At £6.5m and with just 3.3% ownership, he could be a game-changer for your team. His recent 10-point haul showcases his potential.

Son Heung-min (Tottenham, £10.0m): Despite his premium price tag, Son is still a differential pick with only 8.6% ownership. Averaging 6.6 points per game with a form of 5.0 and a 10-point return in the last gameweek, he could be worth the investment.

Emile Smith Rowe (Fulham, £5.8m): Smith Rowe offers incredible value at £5.8m, averaging 6.0 points per game with a form of 5.7. With 29.8% ownership and an 8-point haul in the last gameweek, he's slightly more popular but still a good differential option.

Noni Madueke (Chelsea, £6.6m): Madueke has been impressive when given the chance, averaging 7.0 points per game with a form of 2.7. With just 11.1% ownership, he's a high-risk, high-reward differential pick, though his recent 3-point return suggests caution.

When considering Chelsea midfielders, the choice between Madueke and Jackson (listed under forwards) depends on your team structure and budget. Jackson's recent form might give him the edge, but Madueke could be a sneakier differential.

Defensive Dynamos

Gabriel (Arsenal, £6.1m): Despite being Arsenal's top-scoring defender with 7.2 points per game and a form of 8.0, Gabriel is only selected by 20.2% of managers. With 2 goals already and a recent haul of 7 points, he could be a great differential pick.

Diogo Dalot (Man Utd, £5.0m): Dalot has been in fine form (7.0), averaging 5.8 points per game. At just £5.0m and with only 9.5% ownership, he offers excellent value and differential potential. His recent 9-point haul is particularly eye-catching.

When considering Manchester United defenders, it's worth noting the price difference between Dalot and Mazraoui (£4.6m). While Mazraoui offers similar points per game (5.0) and form (4.3), Dalot's recent performance might justify the slight price increase.

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool, £6.0m): The Dutch defender is having a solid season, averaging 5.2 points per game with a form of 4.3. With just 15% ownership and a recent 6-point haul, he could be a great way into Liverpool's improving defense.

Andrew Robertson (Liverpool, £6.0m): Another Liverpool defender worth considering, Robertson averages 5.0 points per game with a form of 4.3. Owned by only 7.5% of managers, he also scored 6 points in the last gameweek.

When choosing between Van Dijk and Robertson, consider their identical price and similar performance. Robertson might offer slightly more attacking potential, but Van Dijk could be more nailed-on for starts.

Goalkeeping Gems

Robert Sánchez (Chelsea, £4.7m): Sánchez has been impressive, averaging 6.0 points per game with a form of 9.0. At just £4.7m and with 9.3% ownership, he's a great value pick. His recent 10-point haul is particularly noteworthy.

André Onana (Man Utd, £5.0m): Onana has been solid for United, also averaging 6.0 points per game with a form of 7.7. With only 5.8% ownership and a 9-point return in the last gameweek, he's a strong differential option.

When choosing between these two goalkeepers, consider their price difference and team defenses. Sánchez offers slightly better value, but Onana might have more clean sheet potential.

Remember, while these players offer great differential potential, it's essential to consider their fixtures, form, and your overall team structure before making transfers. Happy managing!
