The second half of the season is here and all chips are back in play. With so many matches piling up, every decision matters more than ever for Fantasy Premier League managers looking to climb the ranks.
We take a look at four differential players who have nothing more than 5% ownership among FPL managers. These picks could be the key to gaining an edge and making a real impact heading into Gameweek 20.
Dominik Szoboszlai – FPL Ownership: 4.4% | Price: £6.6m
Back from suspension, Szoboszlai is a differential to watch. He can earn points from penalties and set-pieces, and also chips in with some defensive contributions. With 16 Premier League starts this season, he offers reliable minutes in midfield.
A move to right-back could limit his Fantasy potential, but with Frimpong and Bradley back, he is likely to play further forward. He now has fixtures against Fulham, Burnley, and Bournemouth, giving him a strong opportunity to deliver points..
Diogo Dalot – FPL Ownership: 3.4% | Price: £4.5m
Diogo Dalot is a low-owned differential with the potential to score points at both ends. With three United players away at AFCON and defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire currently injured, he is expected to see plenty of game-time.
He has already produced four attacking returns in his last five Gameweeks and continues to create chances down the right flank.
Looking ahead to fixtures against Leeds and Burnley, Dalot could add both assists and clean sheet points. His consistent involvement makes him an appealing option for FPL managers searching for a differential to boost their ranks.
Lucas Paqueta – FPL Ownership: 1.5% | Price: £5.9m
Paqueta is a good differential to watch heading into Gameweek 20. He has shown his goal threat this season, scoring a penalty in West Ham’s recent match against Brighton, and could provide attacking returns against Wolves, who sit at the bottom of the Premier League table.
Both West Ham and Wolves have struggled at times this season, but Paqueta’s influence in midfield makes him a key player for the Hammers.
With Wolves’ defence vulnerable, he has a strong chance to create points through goals, assists, and his overall involvement in the attack.
Patrick Dorgu – FPL Ownership: 4.3% | Price: £4.1m
A less popular United player who has shown real promise, Dorgu scored a stunning first goal in the 1-0 win over Newcastle and has impressed with his high pressing and hardworking style.
He is providing a solid stop-gap on the right side of United’s midfield while Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo are away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
With consistent starts and a willingness to push forward, he is expected to feature against Leeds United, giving him the chance to earn points from both clean sheets and attacking contributions in a favorable fixture.
Which of these low-owned differentials will you back to make the biggest impact in Gameweek 20? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
