Fantasy Gameweek 22 Differentials

The following three suggested picks for Gameweek 22 are all currently owned by under 5% of EPL Fantasy Season Game managers:

Neco Williams

Ownership - 1.18%

Neco Williams has been integral to Nottingham Forest's success this season, with his versatility proving key to Nuno Espirito Santo.

He was tasked with marking Mohamed Salah on Tuesday night and, nine times out of 10, came out on top in a stellar performance.

Against a Southampton team who sit rock bottom of the league, Williams may be given the license to attack this weekend, and looks a great pick at just 4.5m.

Mohammed Kudus

Ownership - 1.27%

West Ham picked up their first win under Graham Potter in midweek, beating Fulham 3-2.

Mohammed Kudus played a big part in the win and, with the current injuries to players in the forward line, could be expected to step up again if the Irons are to pick up three points against fellow Londoners Crystal Palace.

Cody Gakpo

Ownership - 4.60%

With Diogo Jota emerging as a doubt for Liverpool's upcoming contest with Brentford, Cody Gakpo looks nailed on to retain his place in the side.

The Dutchman has been a regular in Arne Slot's XI of late, scoring three times in his last four starts.

Expect the Reds' number 18 to cause Brentford's injury-stricken backline problems on Saturday afternoon.

Fantasy Gameweek 22 Captain

Mohamed Salah

To the surprise of many bet365 Premier League fantasy football players, Mohamed Salah was not at the races against Nottingham Forest, unable to find the net in six efforts on goal.

He and Liverpool, however, will be desperate to pick up three points on Saturday, having drawn four of their last seven Premier League games.

The 'Egyptian King' has scored six in six against the Bees and don't be surprised to see him add to his tally in Gameweek 22.
