<\/a>Top midfielder pick for Gameweek 6<\/b><\/h2>\n

Every week, we will bring you a Differential Duel<\/em> to highlight a player who both ranks well according to our Squawka Score system and isn\u2019t being picked by the vast majority of FPL managers.<\/p>\n

We will then crunch the numbers and pit the chosen differential against a comparable asset who is proving popular \u2014 it is then on you to choose your fighter.<\/p>\n

This week, we are comparing West Ham’s James Ward-Prowse (8.4% ownership) and Liverpool’s Mo Salah (27.1%), with the two players set to face off.<\/p>\n

Although one of the more expensive players in FPL at \u00a312.5million, Salah’s regular return in terms of goals and assists make him difficult to keep out of your team.<\/p>\n

But to save a whopping \u00a36.4m, why not look at Ward-Prowse? After all, he has made a flying start to life at West Ham and has now been directly involved in at least one goal in each of his last six Premier League appearances.<\/p>\n

Here’s how their 2022\/23 stats compare on our Comparison Matrix<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
