Gameweek 11 – Big Man Bakar’s Best FPL Differentials

With most Fantasy Premier League teams looking increasingly similar, differentials have never been more important. These are the players who can give you the edge: low-owned, high-upside options capable of making a real difference to your rank this week.

Best Differentials to Target in Gameweek 11

Reece James:

Chelsea rank second only to Arsenal for clean sheet probability this Gameweek, and Reece James once again looks like a player with real upside. After six consecutive Premier League starts, he appears to have finally regained full fitness. James’ attacking potential is well known, and his share of set pieces further boosts his ceiling. With a favourable home fixture versus a listless Wolves attack, he’s an ideal pick for those looking to chase a big score.

Matheus Cunha:

Cunha has been quietly delivering strong underlying numbers while flying under the radar. United rank among the top three teams for expected goals this season, and their fixture against Spurs promises attacking returns. With many managers focused on Bruno Fernandes and Mbeumo, Cunha could easily outscore both if this game turns into an open contest.

Yankuba Minteh:

At £6.0m, Minteh is one of the few Brighton attackers guaranteed consistent minutes. Direct, explosive, and relentless in attack, he’s been a constant outlet for Brighton and won’t be heading to the Africa Cup of Nations, which is another plus. His next run of fixtures is excellent, making him a great mid-term hold and an ideal Reijnders replacement for those looking to shake up their midfield.

Lucas Paquetá:

A home fixture against Burnley’s porous defence makes Paquetá one of the standout midfield punts. The Brazilian offers creativity, set pieces, and possibly penalties – a combination that makes him a multiple-route asset. With less than 5% ownership, he’s capable of delivering in every scoring category, from assists and goals to defensive contributions.

Michael Keane:

At just £4.5m, Keane has emerged as one of the best-value defenders in the game following Branthwaite’s injury. Everton’s defence is well organised, and Keane is a steady performer for defensive contributions. With a favourable home fixture against Fulham, he’s a budget-friendly option who can quietly bring in points.
