Fantasy Gameweek 27 Differentials

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Ownership - 2.72%

Aaron Wan-Bissaka heads into Thursday night's game off the back of an impressive performance against Arsenal, registering the assist for Jarrod Bowen in West Ham's 1-0 win.

His defensive capabilities have been clear since his breakthrough at Crystal Palace, but his ability to provide an attacking threat has come on leaps and bounds since the arrival of Graham Potter, making him a smart choice for Gameweek 27 against a lacklustre Leicester side.

Jarrod Bowen

Ownership - 4.20%

Jarrod Bowen is quietly enjoying a consistent season for a side sat in 16th, averaging a goal contribution every 2 games with 11 involvements in 22 games.

He reached 50 Premier League goals when netting against Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, and will be keen to add to his tally against 19th placed Leicester to create some distance between West Ham and the relegation spots.

Georginio Rutter

Ownership - 0.56%

Georginio Rutter's price tag raised a few eyebrows in the 2024/25 summer transfer window, but his recent form explains why Brighton paid the money they did.

The Frenchman found the net in Brighton's 4-0 win away at Southampton and will be keen to add to his tally against a Bournemouth side who will be without the suspended Illia Zabarnyi.

Fantasy Gameweek 27 Captain

Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah's 2024/25 Premier League campaign has been nothing short of remarkable, scoring 25 goals and registering 16 assists in 27 games.

The 'Egyptian King' scored twice and assisted once against Newcastle in his last appearance against the Magpies, and it would arguably be more of a surprise if Salah wasn't to find the net on Wednesday night, as he looks to take the Reds over the line in the hunt for their 20th league title.
