<p><em>Fantasy Premier League transfer tips and differentials series from <a href="https://twitter.com/FPLTIPZ">@FPLTIPZ</a> where he scours the FPL market for low-owned players with the potential to pick up big points to help shoot you up the rankings.

<h2 class="p1">Gameweek 16 FPL Differentials</h2>
<h3 class="p1"><strong>The Defender Differential &#8211; Victor Lindelof </strong><strong>&#8211; </strong>£4.8m, 1.7% owned</h3>
<p><strong>Manchester United</strong> have been written off at times during the start of the season, however currently sit fourth in the Premier League table with a game in hand and the possibility of going just two points behind Liverpool in first place. Manchester United rank very highly for attacking potential with the <strong>third most goals scored</strong> so far this season using the Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">OPTA stats tool.</a> However, they have not been as strong defensively as at the end of last season with <strong>five clean sheets in the nine Gameweeks</strong> after the Premier League restarted. The upcoming fixtures could have the potential for Manchester United to improve their defensive record of just one clean sheet so far this season. <strong>Victor Lindelof</strong> is the defender that has stood out recently for having the most attacking threat in the Manchester United defence. Although Lindelof has had fewer shots than teammate Maguire, Lindelof has had one big chance in the latest five Gameweeks, has the <strong>highest expected points scored</strong> as well as costing £0.6m less than his English teammate and captain. If Manchester United can return to the defensive form seen at the end of the 2019/20 season, Lindelof could be a good differential at the affordable price of £4.8m.</p>

<p>Using the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">Hub&#8217;s Fixture Ticker</a>, Manchester United rank <strong>first for the best defensive fixtures</strong> over the next five Gameweeks. This run of matches includes Wolves and Aston Villa at home in Gameweeks 16 and 17, followed by a blank Gameweek in Gameweek 19, with Liverpool and Fulham away in double Gameweek 19 and finally Sheffield United away in Gameweek 20. Wolves, Fulham and Sheffield United all rank in the six for goals scored so far this season with all averaging a maximum of one goal per game. On top of this, all these five opponents except Liverpool, rank in the bottom half for chances conceded from set-pieces this season, indicating that Lindelof could get chances for free kicks and corners to continue his point-scoring potential shown during the start of the season.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>The Midfielder Differential &#8211; Raphinha &#8211; </strong>£5.4m, 0.9% owned</h3>
<p><strong>Raphinha</strong> was one of the key signings for Leeds at the beginning of the season, however, it took time for the Brazilian winger to earn a spot in the starting team as he played just 60 minutes in the opening eight Gameweeks with three substitute appearances. However, since then, Raphinha has looked one of Leeds most lively players and most attacking midfielders in the Premier League. This is shown in the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">OPTA stats tool</a> which shows that in the most recent five Gameweeks, Raphinha has taken as many shots as teammate Bamford who is top for shots for Leeds, however, <strong>no midfielder in the Premier League has taken more shots (18) or shots inside the box (14) than Raphinha in the last five Gameweeks</strong> and so is higher than highly owned players such as De Bruyne, Salah and Bruno Fernandes. This indicates that Raphinha could improve on the 4.2 points per start that the Brazilian winger has shown in the past five Gameweeks.</p>

<p>Looking at the fixtures on the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">Hub&#8217;s Fixture Ticker</a>, Leeds rank <strong>second for the best-attacking fixtures</strong> over the next five Gameweeks which could indicate that Raphinha could improve on his attacking numbers. These fixtures include away matches against West Brom, Tottenham and Newcastle with a Double Gameweek of home fixtures against Brighton and Southampton in Gameweek 19. Leeds does not have a fixture in Gameweek 18. West Brom, Newcastle and Brighton have kept just seven clean sheets combined so far this season from 41 possible matches and so<strong> average a 17% success rate</strong>. With the number of goals these teams have conceded combined with the number of chances the Leeds and Raphinha have, there is a good chance he could be a good differential for the upcoming five Gameweeks to help boost fantasy managers up the rankings in the New Year period.</p>

<h3><strong>The Forward Differential &#8211; Chris Wood &#8211; </strong>£6.2m, 0.9% owned</h3>
<p><strong>Chris Wood</strong> has been a consistent performer for Burnley in the previous seasons with 11, 13 and 15 attacking returns in the past three seasons and three goals in 13 appearances in the 2020/21 season. The New Zealand striker often goes under the radar, however, could provide great value for money. Using last seasons total points against the price each forward is in the 2020/21 season, Wood comes up <strong>second for most points per million paid per start</strong> only behind Antonio. The beginning of the season was not as profitable for Burnley and Wood who only scored once in the opening eight Gameweeks of this season. However in the most recent six Gameweeks, Chris Wood is the second-highest scoring forward priced under £8.5m and has the third-highest expected points behind <strong>Bamford (43.5% owned) and Calvert-Lewin (£61.0% owned)</strong>, the two most highly owned forwards currently in Fantasy Premier League. So with so many managers opting for Bamford and Calvert Lewin, Wood could offer a good differential over the upcoming five Gameweeks.</p>

<p>With Chris Wood and Burnley&#8217;s recent improved form over the past few Gameweeks, Sean Dyche will be hoping to continue on this run of form and push themselves further away from the relegation zone in the New Year. Burnley often struggle due to lacking goals within their team, however, <strong>Burnley ranks fifth on the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">Hub&#8217;s Fixture Ticker</a> for the best-attacking fixtures</strong> over the next five Gameweeks and so this could be a run that Wood and teammates use to change this fortune. These fixtures include home matches against Aston Villa as well as relegation rivals Sheffield United and Fulham. As well as these Burnley have a Blank Gameweek in Gameweek 18 meaning there is a Double Gameweek 19 of West Ham and Liverpool away. All of these teams except Aston Villa rank in the bottom seven for most big chances conceded so far this season and so there is potential for Chris Wood to get some big chances in the upcoming Gameweeks and so has potential to be a strong differential for managers over the next five Gameweeks.</p>
