What is an FPL differential?
+
A player owned by only a small share of managers. When he scores, you gain on almost everyone else, which is how you climb the rankings. We count players owned by under 10% of managers.
Who are the best FPL differentials for Gameweeks 7–9?
+
Cunha (Man Utd, 6.5% owned) is our top FPL differential for Gameweeks 7–9, with 14.2 predicted points over the next 3 gameweeks. The next best are McGinn, Dewsbury-Hall, Silva.
How are the differentials chosen?
+
We predict every player's points for the next three gameweeks from how often he starts and how long he plays, his expected goals and assists, and how many chances each opponent gives away. Differentials are the players owned by under 10% of managers who are likely to play and have the most predicted points.
How accurate are these differentials?
+
We tested the method on every gameweek of the 2025/26 season, using only what was known before each deadline. Our top five differentials averaged 10.7 points each over the following three gameweeks, against 9.4 when picked by recent form.
When do the differentials update?
+
Through the week up to the deadline, so injury flags, team news and ownership changes are included.
