Differentials can make a big difference in EPL Gameweek 25, especially for FPL managers looking to move up the rankings.
While many will stick with popular picks, a few low-owned players could deliver strong
returns. These players may be overlooked, but they offer good value based on form, minutes, and their role in the team.
This article looks at the best FPL differentials to consider for Gameweek 25.
Whether you are chasing points or trying to protect your rank, these picks offer a smart balance of risk and reward ahead of the deadline.
Here are four FPL picks with under 3.4% ownership heading into Gameweek 25.
These low-owned options could be just what managers need to gain an edge and stand out from the crowd.
Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.3m) – Nottingham Forest – 3.4% owned
Fixture: Leeds United
Nottingham Forest opens Gameweek 25 against Leeds United, who lost to Arsenal in GW 24, and attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has been in good form.
He has been involved in key attacking moments, creating chances and getting into goal-scoring positions.
Gibbs-White has given his managers 18 points across his last three matches, making him a strong low-owned option for FPL managers looking for differentials early in the week.
With just 3.4% ownership, he could give managers an edge while remaining under the radar.
Alphonse Areola (£4.3m) – Westham – 2.2% owned
Fixture: Burnley
Areola could be a solid budget pick for Gameweek 25 as West Ham travel to Burnley. He hasn’t been outstanding this season, but he can still earn points in the right games.
In GW 24, he made two points against Chelsea, which ranked among the top 10 goalkeeper performances, showing he can deliver surprise returns.
In that match, Areola made three saves but conceded three goals, all in the second half. He is still chasing his first clean sheet of the season, having allowed 37 goals in 20 appearances.
Burnley, his next opponents, have scored 10 goals in their last five matches, so Areola has a chance to bounce back. With just 2.2% ownership, he could be a smart low-owned differential for GW 25.
Jake O’Brien (£4.9m) – Everton – 0.8% owned
Fixture: Fulham
Defender Jake O’Brien has been showing promise in recent matches. He has been getting regular minutes and is involved in both defensive actions and attacking chances.
With only 0.8% ownership, O’Brien is a low-owned differential who could reward FPL managers looking to gain an edge.
A strong performance against Fulham could make him a surprise points scorer this week.
Alex Jimenez (£4.2m) – Bournemouth – 0.2% owned
Fixture: Aston Villa
Bournemouth’s right-sided attacking midfielder has been in great form recently, starting two matches in a row.
In those games, he scored a goal and added three shots, three tackles, and four interceptions, giving him 14 points in his last three matches.
If he keeps playing in this role, he could be one of the top defenders most weeks, especially since he can still earn points from clean sheets.
