FPL expert differentials for Gameweek 2
The new round of Fantasy Football is approaching so we have brought in some elite managers to provide their expert differentials for Gameweek 2. We have also turned their predictions into a competition. @FPL_ElStatto, @FplRabbi, @FplShakenbake, @FBLThinker, @FPLReaction, and @FPLinzaghi will all go head-to-head to see who will be crowned the differential king at the end of the season.
The community is full of some of the best fantasy managers in the game so checking out their expert differentials for Gameweek 2 could be very beneficial. Differentials help you get ahead of your competition as they are so lowly owned.
@FPL_ElStatto
“Luis Diaz – £7.5m – Liverpool – 6.9% – Home game CS Bournemouth. Until Liverpool get a natural holding midfielder in I believe attack will be their best form of defence. Diaz looked lovely first half away to Chelsea and against a weaker team I feel he’ll have more joy”.
@FplRabbi
“Diogo Jota – £8m – Liverpool – 3.0% – I think he gets the nod ahead of Darwin still and when he plays, he scores. He might have a big haul in him for this one”.
@FplShakenbake
“Morgan Gibbs-White – £6m – Nottingham Forest – 2.5% – The England U21 star created three chances away at Arsenal last week, and claimed an assist from one of them. He looked to be carrying on his fine form from the Summer, and I expect another return as he takes on his former club”.
@FBLThinker
“Yoane Wissa – £6m – Brentford – 5.6% – selected playing up front in the absence of Toney, looked threatening and grabbed a goal against Tottenham. He faces Fulham next who conceded 19 shots with nine on target against Everton, he looks good for another attacking return”.
@FPLReaction
“Bryan Mbeumo – £6.5m – Brentford – 9.5% – Somehow still under 10% owned. Fulham conceded the joint most big chances last season so I fancy Mbeumo to continue his good start to the campaign. He’s also on penalties as well which is a massive boost”.
@FPLinzaghi
“Taiwo Awoniyi – £6.5m – Nottingham Forest – 0.7% – looked fantastic in his brief cameo at the Emirates, grabbing a goal. Forest are a different beast at home and Awoniyi has fast become their chief goal threat. Sheffield United beware – the beast is coming for you!”.
