<\/a>Ollie or Gabby as the best mid-priced striker?<\/b><\/h2>\n

In our Differential Duel<\/em> feature, we look for a player who scores well on our system but is not being selected by most FPL managers.<\/p>\n

We will then pit that player against a comparable asset who is being widely selected and it\u2019s on you to make the all-important final decision.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Gameweek 7, we’ll be taking a closer look at Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins (17.5%) and Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus (3.4%).<\/p>\n

Both players are available at the same price (\u00a37.9m) but there is a huge difference in ownership percentage. As you can see below their per90 stats aren’t too different either.<\/p>\n

So why switch? Arsenal have a nice run of fixtures coming up and you can get ahead of the game with owning Jesus before he starts to fire them in for the Gunners.<\/p>\n

Could a switch from the Midlands to North London see you pick up some key differential point?<\/p>\n

Here’s how their per 90 stats from 2022\/23 compare on our Comparison Matrix<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      You more than likely have a pretty good idea of who you want leading your line this weekend, but we have one more factor for you to take into consideration.<\/p>\n
