<h2><strong>Best Differentials </strong>– <strong>Gameweek 12</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Jurrien Timber (£5.5m) – Arsenal </strong><strong>–</strong><strong> 1.6% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Nottingham Forest (H)</strong></p>
<p>Arsenal host Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 12, and while Nuno Espirito Santo's side have impressed defensively so far this season, their attacking data is distinctly more average.</p>
<p>The Gunners meanwhile will still back themselves as one of the best defences in the league, although somewhat surprisingly, they are now seven gameweeks without a clean sheet.</p>
<p>The fixtures however look like a potential catalyst for turning this run around, and the recent injury to <strong>Ben White (£6.2m) </strong>comes at an excellent time for Jurrien Timber.</p>

</div>
<p>The versatile defender can play anywhere across the backline, and with White out he looks set to be a regular starter at fullback in the weeks to come, with more strong fixtures on the immediate horizon.</p>
<p>Due to the upcoming festive fixture congestion, White is set to miss a vast number of gameweeks, and Timber will be a key part of Mikel Arteta's defensive efforts over the Winter period.</p>
<p>Timber is also notably cheaper than his Gunners' teammates in defence, saving you half a million over the likes of <strong>Gabriel (£6.1m) </strong>and<strong> William Saliba (£6.0m)</strong>, while offering a greater level of attacking threat from open play.</p>

<h3><strong>Pedro Neto (£6.2m) – Chelsea </strong><strong>–</strong><strong> 1.4% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Leicester (a)</strong></p>
<p>It's been an incredibly patchy start to life at Stamford Bridge for Pedro Neto.</p>
<p>The talented former Wolves winger has struggled with injury issues throughout his career, and over the first eight gameweeks he played 45 minutes or less on seven occasions - with a 54 minute showing the only outlier.</p>
<p>Since then however, things have picked up for the Portugal man. Neto has started the last three games, completing 90 minutes in all three, and suddenly the Chelsea midfielder looks like a viable option with the Blues facing two promoted sides in their next three gameweeks.</p>
<div id="attachment_68602" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-68602" class="wp-image-68602 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/FFStuffImage-2024-11-21T203042.041.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-68602" class="wp-caption-text">Pedro Neto's stats</p>
</div>
<p>Trips to Leicester and Southampton are on the agenda for Neto either side of a good home fixture against Aston Villa, and at just £6.2m, the upside is there for both the short-term and the medium-term.</p>
<p>Neto is a player who can terrorise almost any defender, so fixtures aren't always an essential feature of his FPL potential, but fixtures against leaky Spurs and Brentford are also tantalising - and after that it's Everton, Fulham and Ipswich.</p>
<p>Long story short, it feels as if owning <strong>Cole Palmer </strong>alone may not be making the most of Chelsea's excellent upcoming run, and Neto has hit form and fitness at the perfect time to render him an extremely interesting differential option in the weeks to come.</p>
<p>There are very few question marks around his ability, and he has generally played an advanced role since signing for Chelsea - he was the furthest player forward for Enzo Maresca's side when they drew with Manchester United a couple of gameweeks ago.</p>

<h3><strong>Lewis Hall (£4.4m) – Newcastle </strong><strong>–</strong><strong> 4.7% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Former Chelsea man Lewis Hall has stepped it up for Newcastle in recent weeks, and looks to have cemented his place in the side ahead of <strong>Lloyd Kelly () </strong>who offers competition at left-back.</p>
<p>Hall has now started six games on the bounce, producing returns in three of those six - not a bad return for a £4.4m defender.</p>
<p>Newcastle certainly offer more defensive solidity than a lot of sides with defenders at this price point, and Hall is actually offering some decent attacking threat too.</p>
<p>In fact, over the last four gameweeks Hall has created more xA (expected assists) than any other Premier League defender.</p>
<div id="attachment_68655" style="width: 1150px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-68655" class="wp-image-68655 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/FFStuffImage-2024-11-22T181438.148.jpg" alt="" width="1140" height="670" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-68655" class="wp-caption-text">Expected assists by defenders, last four gameweeks</p>
</div>
<p>Newcastle are now entering a strong period of fixtures, with a home game against Liverpool the only blemish on an otherwise outstanding run.</p>
<p>The Magpies will face both Leicester and Ipswich in their next six, and having just kept a clean sheet against Arsenal as well as restricting Manchester City to a single goal, they have a good chance of picking up some clean sheets over the busy Winter period.</p>
<p>With Hall offering points potential at both ends of the pitch, but not quite hitting the big FPL hauls as of yet, now looks like a good time to buy low - allowing you to bulk up your backline on the cheap for the busy schedule to come.</p>
