<h2><strong>Best FPL differentials – Blank Gameweek 18 picks</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Leon Bailey </strong><strong>(£5.6m) – Aston Villa </strong><strong>– 2.8</strong><strong>% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Sheffield United (H)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Leon Bailey (£5.6m) </strong>was a late substitute against Brentford in Gameweek 17,  but it didn't take him long to make an impact, as the Jamaica international picked up an assist for the equalising goal.</p>
<p>Lack of game-time due to injury issues has been a common theme for Bailey, who has only played 613 minutes so far this season.</p>
<p>Despite limited action however, he has racked up an impressive ten attacking returns, with five goals and five assists.</p>
<p>This means that Bailey actually has the most goal involvements per 90 minutes of any player in the league over the last eight gameweeks - ahead of <strong>Erling Haaland (£13.9m)</strong>, <strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.2m)</strong>, and <strong>Son Heung-min (£9.8m)</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-60660 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot-2023-12-21-at-10.45.00.jpg" alt="" width="1138" height="666" /></p>
<p>Over this period, he has the most actual goal involvements of any Villa player too - with his seven edging out the six managed by <strong>Ollie Watkins (£8.7m)</strong>.</p>
<p>With four returns in four games heading into the Sheffield United fixture tomorrow, this looks like an example of the golden combination of form and fixtures that FPL managers dream about.</p>
<p>In addition, as you can see from the graphic below, the Blades concede a vast number of chances down their left-hand side (as well as everywhere else) which could allow Bailey to do some damage if he starts in his preferred right-wing position.</p>
<p>He faces competition for this spot from French international <strong>Moussa Diaby (£6.7m) </strong>however, which is the main caveat to an otherwise strong pick.</p>
