As fixtures begin to turn in Gameweek 22, smart differential picks can help managers gain ground without tearing up their squads.
We have now highlighted three differential picks for gameweek 22 that FPL
managers can consider if they are looking to gain some ground.
Nordi Mukiele (£4.4m)
Sunderland have been quietly solid defensively this season, particularly in home fixtures. Priced under £4.5m and owned by 10% of FPL managers, Nordi Mukiele stands out as a strong budget differential.
He averages over 10 defensive actions per 90 minutes, making him a reliable option for clean sheet points and bonus potential.
At his price point, Mukiele offers excellent value and allows managers to free up funds for premium attackers elsewhere in their squads.
Enzo Fernández (£6.4m)
Enzo Fernández remains a relatively under-owned asset, with ownership hovering around 10.5%.
The Chelsea midfielder ranks among the league’s top performers for non-penalty expected goals (xG), highlighting his increasing attacking threat.
With Chelsea set to enjoy a favorable run of fixtures starting from Gameweek 24, Enzo presents a timely differential for managers planning ahead.
His consistent involvement in advanced positions makes him a strong long-term option in the midfield.
Kroupi Jr. (£4.6m)
The young Bournemouth attacker has impressed in limited minutes and could soon see increased game time.
Recent developments — including the departure of Semenyo and an injury to Kluivert — are likely to open the door for Kroupi Jr. to feature more regularly.
Currently owned by just 4.2% of managers, he offers high upside at a budget-friendly price. If he secures a starting role, Kroupi Jr. could quickly become one of the standout differentials of Gameweek 22.
