<h2><strong>Best Differentials </strong>– <strong>Gameweek 22</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Anthony Elanga (£5.3m) - Nottingham Forest - 5.1% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Southampton (H)</strong></p>
<p>Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga has produced attacking returns in each of the last six gameweeks, offering remarkable consistency for a player at his price point.</p>
<p>With the midfielder coming in at just £5.3m, Elanga is arguably competing for a place in your squad with the likes of <strong>Morgan Rogers </strong>and <strong>Jacob Murphy</strong>.</p>
<p>With many FPL managers already owning three Newcastle players, locking them out of Murphy, Elanga appears to be the standout option in this price range.</p>
<p>It's the perfect entry point for those considering the Forest man, with Elanga coming up against the worst defence in the league based on expected goals conceded.</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-70197" class="wp-caption-text">Southampton are way out in front for expected goals conceded</p>
</div>
<p>Only <strong>Morgan Gibbs-White </strong>had a more advanced average position in last week's game against Liverpool, with Elanga making runs ahead of <strong>Chris Wood </strong>and the other Forest midfielders,</p>
<p>The Sweden international has eight attacking returns in 15 Premier League starts for Nuno Espirito Santo's side this season, and given his current purple patch, it's hard to see him being dropped</p>
<p>Elanga could offer excellent value if he keeps his place in the team, with Forest sitting fourth in the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixture ticker</a> over the next three gameweeks - that top four includes two sides with a double gameweek in Liverpool and Everton, alongside Newcastle in third.</p>

<h3><strong>Lucas Paqueta (£5.7m) – West Ham </strong><strong>–</strong><strong> 1.1% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Crystal Palace (H)</strong></p>
<p>Lucas Paqueta was deployed as a centre-forward in Gameweek 21, lining up in a striker role as the Hammers were 3-2 victors over Fulham.</p>
<p>This came off the back of playing as a winger in the FA Cup midweek, and it is clear that Graham Potter is keen to utilise the attacking attributes of the Brazilian despite the lingering presence of <strong>Danny Ings</strong>.</p>
<p>Paqueta was actually West Ham's most advanced player in their victory against the Cottagers last gameweek, and he came away with a goal to show for it.</p>
<div id="attachment_70199" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-70199" class="wp-image-70199 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/FFStuffImage-2025-01-17T190814.500.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-70199" class="wp-caption-text">Average player positions, West Ham 3-2 Fulham</p>
</div>
<p>While Paqueta only has five attacking returns in his 17 starts so far this season, West Ham as a whole have suffered in front of goal, and their new manager appears to have ignited the flame in attack - at least on the basis of initial evidence.</p>
<p>The Hammers host Crystal Palace in Gameweek 22, having run out 2-0 victors over the Eagles in the return fixture at Selhurst Park.</p>
<p>A change of position makes Paqueta suddenly all the more appealing at just £5.7m, with the Hammers midfielder already taking penalties and other set-pieces for his side.</p>
<div id="attachment_70202" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-70202" class="wp-image-70202 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/FFStuffImage-2025-01-17T191639.576.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Nikola Milenkovic (£4.8m) – Nottingham Forest </strong><strong>–</strong><strong> 7.9% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Southampton (H)</strong></p>
<p>Nikola Milenkovic looks like the perfect budget defender for the coming gameweeks, with Nottingham Forest boasting four clean sheets in their last five games.</p>
<p>The outlier came against Liverpool, and even in that match Forest restricted Liverpool to one goal, as well as no first half shots on target for the Reds.</p>
<p>It's clear that they are currently a defensive powerhouse under Nuno Espirito Santo, and Milenkovic could offer some attacking threat too - only two defenders have taken more shots inside the box this season.</p>
<div id="attachment_70208" style="width: 1150px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-70208" class="wp-image-70208 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/FFStuffImage-2025-01-17T192754.295.jpg" alt="" width="1140" height="670" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-70208" class="wp-caption-text">Total shots in the box by defenders this season</p>
</div>
<p>While Milenkovic isn't quite offering the bonus output or attacking threat of the impressive <strong>Ola Aina</strong>, he is £0.5m cheaper than his teammate, which might be a key saving for those shopping in this area of the pitch.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the Serbian will run you £0.2m more than his centre-back partner <strong>Murillo</strong>. The Brazilian has performed particularly well for bonus points, thanks in part to his passing ability.</p>
<p>Milenkovic offers greater aerial threat however, and that increased chance of a 15-pointer from banking a goal alongside a clean sheet makes him worth the small amount of extra expenditure.</p>
<div id="attachment_70209" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-70209" class="wp-image-70209 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/FFStuffImage-2025-01-17T193301.559.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="650" /></p>
