Is Steele the best budget option?
As part of our FPL coverage, we are going to pick out a Differential Duel ahead of every Gameweek.
The idea is to pit two comparable assets against each other — one who isn’t necessarily being selected by most FPL managers, and one who is proving popular.
We will then give you the stats and it is your call as to who gets the final nod.
This week, we look for an alternative to Man City keeper, Ederson (17.8%)
The Brazilian keeper has been one of the most popular choices in between the sticks this season but does he represent true value?
If you are looking for an alternative, who should you turn to?
We believe the answer lies with Guglielmo Vicario of Spurs (7.8%). As you can see on the Comparison Matrix below, Vicario is outperforming Ederson in all of the key goalkeeping metrics this season
As an added bonus, Vicario is priced at 0.3m less than his goalkeeping rival.
Here is a closer look at how their 2023/24 stats compare on our Comparison Matrix.
Johnstone the best cheap option available
It is fair to say that goalkeepers at the bottom end of the price scale might not start you many games, but that does not mean they should be completely ruled out when it comes to FPL.
For genuine starters, you might want to focus on our 4.5 picks, although Sam Johnstone looks like keeping the gloves for Crystal Palace as things stand. The below selections have been produced after running this year’s numbers through our Squawka Score super computer ahead of Gameweek 11.
The best 4.5 picks for 23/24 FPL
- Sam Johnstone, Crystal Palace (54%)
- Mark Flekken, Brentford (53%)
- Alphonse Areola, West Ham (53%)
Raya to shut out the Cherries
Giving you further food for thought, we have crunched the numbers using both the FPL’s official Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) and our Squawka Score tool to determine the best player to pick from each club facing an ‘easy’ fixture this weekend.
