As the Fantasy Premier League season intensifies, uncovering a low-owned hidden treasure might be exactly what you need to rise in your mini-leagues instead of getting stranded in mid-table.
Below are four
FPL differential options who could make a major impact in Gameweek 13 and beyond.
Yankuba Minteh (£6.1m, 6.4% owned) – Nottingham Forest vs Brighton (A)
Minteh has become a consistent starter and an essential part of Nottingham Forest’s midfield.
He played a key role in their home win over Brentford in Gameweek 12 and continues to show strong form, producing eight attacking returns in 12 Premier League appearances—good for 61 FPL points so far.
Forest head to Brighton next, and another strong performance from Minteh is firmly on the cards.
Forest themselves are in solid form, with two wins and two draws in their last five matches across all competitions, including a stunning 3–0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
Minteh certainly has the ability to make his mark again.
Leandro Trossard (£6.9m, 1.1% owned) – Chelsea vs Arsenal (A)
Arsenal are flying this season with nine wins, two draws, and just one loss—Mikel Arteta’s side is cooking.
Despite this, Trossard is owned by only 1.1% of FPL managers, making him a massive differential with real upside.
He’s delivered 30 FPL points in his last four Premier League appearances, bringing his total to 52.
With two goals and two assists in his last three Gameweeks, Trossard is in hot form heading into Arsenal’s trip to Stamford Bridge.
The Gunners sit atop the Premier League with 29 points, holding a six-point lead over second-place Chelsea.
With Arsenal’s momentum and Trossard’s left-flank threat, he’s well positioned to continue his impressive run.
Nico O’Reilly (£5.0m, 4.2% owned) – Manchester City vs Leeds (H)
Manchester City host bottom-placed Leeds in Gameweek 13, a matchup that heavily favors Pep Guardiola’s title-challenging side.
At just £5.0m and owned by around 4% of managers, O’Reilly stands out as a defensive differential with real potential.
While he may not be heavily involved in goals, City’s strong defensive record boosts his appeal.
He’s picked up 37 FPL points in his last six Premier League appearances, contributing to three goal involvements in that span.
Now a regular in City’s starting XI, O’Reilly has proven to be a valuable asset in Guardiola’s system.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£4.9m, 2.8% owned) – Everton vs Newcastle United (H)
Dewsbury-Hall has quietly become a key figure in Everton’s midfield and a real under-the-radar FPL option.
He has started 11 of Everton’s 12 league matches this season, scoring twice and assisting twice for a total of 48 FPL points.
He also scored the decisive goal that handed Manchester United a home defeat in Gameweek 12.
Everton’s upcoming fixtures look favorable as well: home to Newcastle and away to Bournemouth, both clubs having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three league matches.
