Fantasy Gameweek 28 Differentials

The following three suggested picks for Gameweek 28 are all currently owned by under 5% of EPL Fantasy Season Game managers:

Levi Colwill

Ownership - 3.76%

Following nine Premier League games without a clean sheet, Chelsea were finally able to keep their opposition at bay when recording a 4-0 win over Southampton last time out in the league, with Levi Colwill netting one of the four goals.

They will face a similar level of opposition in the form of Leicester on Sunday afternoon, and it would be no surprise to see Enzo Marseca's side record a second consecutive league victory against a team who have picked up just eight points on the road all season.

Christopher Nkunku

Ownership - 3.78%

Uncertainty surrounded Christopher Nkunku's future at Chelsea in the January transfer window, but injury to Nicolas Jackson means the Frenchman has had a run in Maresca's starting XI.

Nkunku scored and assisted against the Saints last time out and will be eager to solidify a spot in Chelsea's starting XI with another strong performance against Leicester.

Eddie Nketiah

Ownership - 0.18%

An injury to Jean-Philippe Mateta means Eddie Nketiah could be set for a place in Oliver Glasner's side, and a contest against 18th-placed Ipswich could be the perfect opportunity to impress.

Nketiah has scored in back-to-back games for the Eagles and will be out to make it three in three against a side who have conceded 27 goals away from home this campaign, the fourth highest in the league.

Fantasy Gameweek 28 Captain

Mohamed Salah

Given Mohamed Salah's 2024/25 campaign, failing to score in back-to-back games is considered poor form for the 'Egyptian King', though a home fixture against Southampton poses a great chance to get back on the scoresheet.

The Saints ran Liverpool surprisingly close earlier in the season in a 3-2 victory for the Reds, with Salah finding the net on two occasions. Arne Slot's side will hope to make easier work of Southampton on Saturday, however, and it would be no surprise to see Salah make a huge impact.
