The action hasn’t stopped yet and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will be busy preparing for gameweek 35.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s no Double Gameweek this week, giving us just one set of fixtures to cast our eyes over. Penny pinching and recognising value gives you a huge advantage when it comes to FPL, so this week we’re looking at differentials you could bring into your team over the big-priced players without losing much output.<\/p>\n

So, where should you be looking in order to come out on top this week? Liverpool and Manchester City will continue their battle at the top, with both facing tricky away trips to Newcastle United and Leeds United, respectively. Both could be found guilty of having one eye on the second leg of their Champions League semi-finals though, so the risk of rotation elevates the importance budget alternatives this weekend.<\/p>\n

Relegation-threatened Everton host Chelsea on Sunday, desperate for three points in their battle to avoid the drop. Chelsea’s title challenge is over, could they be distracted by the news that Antonio Rudiger will be leaving the club this summer,<\/a> or will they leave The Toffees in an even more sticky situation?<\/p>\n

We’ve identified some cheaper alternatives to the expensive options in FPL. Read on to see how you might be able to gain the edge in your leagues this weekend.<\/p>\n\n

Alisson vs Jos\u00e9 S\u00e1<\/h2>\n

Alisson (\u00a36M): <\/b>Alisson is Liverpool\u2019s shot-stopper, so naturally ranks highly for clean sheets. Top in fact, with 19. Liverpool are still chasing four trophies this season and Alisson has, as usual, been instrumental to their success. His inclusion seems an obvious one but, at \u00a36M, is he too expensive an acquisition when that extra money could be spent to improve in a position with higher point-gaining potential?<\/p>\n

S\u00e1 (\u00a35.3M):\u00a0<\/strong>S\u00e1 has had a fine debut season for Wolves. The 29-year-old ranks sixth in the top flight for clean sheets, and is actually one of the league’s finest shot-stoppers. No goalkeeper has made more saves from inside the box than the Wolves man (80). He is certainly a cheaper option than Alisson but has only scored 17 points fewer than the Liverpool ‘keeper this season.<\/p>\n

Jo\u00e3o Cancelo vs Matty Cash<\/h2>\n

Cancelo (\u00a37.1M):\u00a0<\/b>Cancelo is a threat in both attack and defence. Among defenders, he is behind only the Liverpool full-backs for assists (6) and ranks fifth for tackles, which is impressive given his side is rarely on the back foot. He seems to have the lot when it comes to being a rounded defender, but is there anyone who could match him at a cheaper price?<\/p>\n

Cash (\u00a35.2M):\u00a0<\/strong>Cash actually sits just above Cancelo for tackles with 78 (Cancelo has 76) but also beats him on goals scored, with three (to Cancelo\u2019s one). That’s a very impressive return from a player that doesn’t receive anywhere near the same amount of plaudits as Cancelo. At just under \u00a32M cheaper, is Cash the addition to your side that will free up funds elsewhere? Villa face rock-bottom Norwich this weekend.<\/p>\n
