<h2><strong>Best FPL differentials -</strong><strong> Gameweek 12</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Yankuba Minteh (£6.0m) - Brighton </strong><strong>- 4.9</strong><strong>% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Brentford (H)</strong></p>
<p>Brighton sit fourth in the Hub <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/gabriel-injury-fpl-gameweek-12">fixture ticker</a>, but second when fixtures are sorted by best for attack, and there are a couple of standout picks among their forward-thinking players.</p>
<p>While <strong>Danny Welbeck (£6.5m) </strong>is certainly appealing, those in need of a midfielder at this price point could do far worse than Minteh, with his national side Gambia failing to qualify for <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/which-fpl-picks-are-affected-by-afcon-2025-26/">AFCON</a>.</p>
<p>Although Welbeck is the centre forward on paper, Minteh was by far Brighton's most advanced player last time out based on his average position.</p>
<div id="attachment_75853" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-75853" class="wp-image-75853 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/AveragePosition_CrystalPalace0-0BrightonHoveAlbion.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" /></p>

</div>
<p>Minteh doesn't have penalties to fall back on like Welbeck, but he excels in several other areas - not only does the Gambian receive an extra point for goals and clean sheets, but he's also banked defensive contribution points on three occasions.</p>
<p>Add six attacking returns into the mix and you can see why Minteh has outscored Welbeck in FPL so far, with Brighton now heading into three home games in four.</p>
<p>Minteh offers that golden combination of form and fixtures with three returns in three, and he won't break the bank despite offering plenty of routes to points.</p>

<h3><strong>Nico O'Reilly (£5.0m) - Manchester City</strong><strong> - 2.2</strong><strong>% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Newcastle (a)</strong></p>
<p>England youngster O'Reilly is on the rise for club and country, and the Manchester City man finds himself in great FPL form too.</p>
<p>With 31 points in his last four appearances, the City man is hitting form at the right time with Leeds and Sunderland both travelling to the Etihad in the next four gameweeks.</p>
<p>O'Reilly has started seven of the last eight games for City, showcasing his versatility in a variety of roles - and the only match he didn't start was the 2-1 loss against Aston Villa, with Pep Guardiola's side otherwise unbeaten in that run.</p>
<div id="attachment_75851" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-75851" class="wp-image-75851 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/playerheatmap-OReilly-bordered-1.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-75851" class="wp-caption-text">Nico O'Reilly's heatmap this season</p>
</div>
<p>Reasonably priced for a player from a top side, O'Reilly should continue to offer potential for attacking returns whether deployed in midfield or defence.</p>
<p>He's also in the running for defensive contribution points, earning them last week and missing out by just one defensive action on a couple of other occasions this season.</p>
<p>The real fixture run begins next week after a slightly tougher trip to Newcastle, but City are a side who can produce results even in these tricky away games.</p>
<p>Managers looking for a defensive punt away from the likes of <strong>Jurrien Timber </strong>and <strong>Virgil van Dijk </strong>could consider the slightly cheaper <strong>Daniel Ballard</strong>, who trails only <strong>Erling Haaland </strong>for headed attempts among all players so far.</p>
<p>Sunderland's fixtures look tough on paper, but Regis Le Bris' side have already taken points from the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Crystal Palace this season.</p>
