Fantasy Gameweek 29 Differentials

Neco Williams

Ownership - 1.46%

Nottingham Forest have massively exceeded expectations this season, and much of it is down to their solid defensive record.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side have the joint-third best defensive record in the league, having only conceded 33 times in 28 games. They head into this game off the back of two consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League, and it would be no shock to see them keep Ipswich at bay given their poor home form, having scored just 10 goals in 14 home games.

Anthony Elanga

Ownership - 1.97%

It's safe to say that Anthony Elanga has cemented a spot in Espirito Santo's favoured XI in the 2024/25 campaign, proving an effective outlet on the right hand side of Forest's front three.

Ipswich are in dire need of a win at Portman Road and this could leave them open defensively, so don't be surprised to see Elanga exploit this and make his way on to the scoresheet.

Evanilson

Ownership - 1.55%

Evanilson returned to Bournemouth's starting XI in their fixture away at Tottenham on Sunday afternoon, finding the net in a 2-2 draw.

Bournemouth are three games without a win in the league, so the return of their number nine has come at the perfect time as they push for a spot in Europe.

Fantasy Gameweek 29 Captain

Erling Haaland

By Erling Haaland's standards, you could argue that his 2024/25 campaign has been underwhelming, despite having scored 20 league goals up to now.

Manchester City have now turned their attention to qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League, and a win against Brighton is crucial as they aim to break into the top four.

Having scored last time out against the Seagulls, the Norwegian number nine looks a smart choice for captaincy.
