Possible Differentials in the First Few Game Weeks

If you play FPL then you have most likely signed up for multiple mini leagues either with your friends or public ones to try and win the prize money and the ultimate goal is to come out on top of the league at the end of the season, this can't be done if your team is exactly like everyone else's that's why some bold moves have to be made in form of differential players who have low ownership percentages and could potentially swing the tides of the games week in your favour, I would be recommending 5 of them below after taking into account their prices, upcoming fixtures and their potential to give points

1. Rodrigo (6.0m): the first name to start off this list is Rodrigo of Leeds, the Spanish forward is classified as a midfielder which makes him a very reasonable option as his goals are going to be awarded points accorded to midfielders despite his rather advanced role on matchdays. For 6m there's not much of a risk here as he can be benched when Leeds have tough fixtures on their horizon

2. Sessegnon (4.5): it was thought that with the arrival of several new signings into the spurs team some prominent players from the back end of last season wouldn't get game time this season but Conte has chosen to keep faith in the team that helped push his charge for the top 4 last season and it yielded results in the first game, one of the players who benefitted the most from this was Ryan Sessegnon who had a stellar outing against the saints in their 4-1 victory over them, he was always in acres of space and he eventually bagged himself the opening goal in that game, if Conte sticks with him in upcoming game weeks instead of integrating his new signings into the team, Sessegnon could produce a reasonable return in an attacking sense

3. Pedro Neto (5.5m): the Portuguese forward has returned to Bruno Lage's first team after a lengthy spell on the sidelines last season due to injury, which led to a reduction in his FPL price. The winger was very instrumental in the only goal wolves managed to score in their last outing against Leeds and gave the Leeds defence plenty of trouble throughout the match, if he has performances similar to the last one the attacking returns are sure to come sooner rather than later and at just 5.5m Currently, I would suggest you buy the dip

4. Cornet (6m): the Frenchman is back in the premier league after leaving recently relegated Burnley to sign for Westham last week in a five-year deal. Cornet produced a lot of attacking returns last season in a negative team like Burnley which was always on the back foot in most of their game, in a slightly different team like west ham it would be interesting to see what role he plays and how well a partnership with Antonio could work out for him attacking-wise. At 6mhe is a bit of a risk but one which could pay off handsomely if he replicates his last season's form.

5. Bamford (7.5m): Patrick Bamford like one or two others on this list spent most of last season on the sidelines due to injury and this has made a lot of people forget what he potentially brings to the table in terms of goals when he's unsung, he was only able to provide an assist in Leeds' opening game but if he can be in the first eleven for a couple of more weeks he should start banging in goals sooner or later, at 1.7% ownership he could be the edge you need in your mini-league to come out on top.

     Till next time, may the force be with you, Cheers to more bad decisions
