<h2><strong>Best FPL differentials -</strong><strong> Gameweek 22</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Jeremie Frimpong (£5.7m)</strong><strong> - Liverpool - 5.8% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Burnley (H)</strong></p>
<p>Frimpong has now returned in five consecutive gameweeks for Liverpool, with the Netherlands international finally getting a run in the starting eleven - he has just four league starts so far under Arne Slot.</p>
<p>The 25-year-old has been used as a right winger in recent weeks, and we could see the same against Burnley, but the impending return of <strong>Mohamed Salah (£14.0m) </strong>from AFCON suggests he will be deployed predominantly as an attacking right-back going forward.</p>
<p>Regardless, Frimpong looks well placed to continue chipping in with goals and assists, with the defender firing in his first for the club in Liverpool's midweek FA Cup match against Barnsley.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The midweek victory came at the cost of a potentially long-term injury for <strong>Conor Bradley (£5.0m)</strong>, who is Frimpong's main competition for the right-back spot at Anfield, although the versatile <strong>Joe Gomez (£4.9m) </strong>has now returned to fitness too and may pick up a handful of minutes at fullback.</p>
<p>With some good fixtures on the horizon for Slot's side however, Frimpong looks well placed to continue his run of attacking form - particularly with strugglers Burnley making the trip to Merseyside this weekend.</p>
<p>Deployed on the right-hand side of Liverpool's attack during last gameweek's draw at league leaders Arsenal, Frimpong was actually the most advanced player for the Reds in Gameweek 21.</p>

<h3><strong>Nordi Mukiele/Daniel Ballard</strong><strong> (£4.4m/£4.6m) - Sunderland - 9.8%/2.9% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Crystal Palace (H)</strong></p>
<p>With Sunderland heading into an excellent run of fixtures, French full-back Mukiele is well set to continue providing excellent value for his FPL owners.</p>
<p>Only five teams have kept more clean sheets than the Black Cats so far, which is an exceptional record for a newly promoted side.</p>
<p>As such there are plenty of budget options to choose from among their defensive assets, and arguably the standout so far has been Mukiele, who has hit the defensive contributions threshold on an impressive ten occasions already this season.</p>
<div id="attachment_77054" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-77054" class="wp-image-77054 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/playerstats-Mukiele-bordered-4.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-77054" class="wp-caption-text">Nordi Mukiele's stats</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mukiele also has three attacking returns which is representative of his forward-thinking nature from right-back, but he is not the only Sunderland defender worth considering in that regard heading into Gameweek 22.</p>
<p><strong>Omar Alderete (£4.1m) </strong>has proven popular due to his extremely low price tag, also performing reasonably well for defensive contributions, but it's <strong>Daniel Ballard (£4.6m) </strong>who has the potential to turn a few heads according to underlying data.</p>
<p>The aerially dominant centre-back has racked up 16 shots in the box so far this season - only two defenders in the league have taken more, and that significant goal threat could make Ballard worth the extra outlay, although Mukiele will run him close through open play creativity.</p>

<h3><strong>Cody Gakpo (£7.6m) - Liverpool - 5.3% owned</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Burnley (H)</strong></p>
<p>Following a four-gameweek injury layoff for Liverpool, Gakpo has now completed 90 minutes in back-to-back league games for the Reds, and his status as the manager's favourite under Arne Slot doesn't appear to have shifted.</p>
<p>Gakpo has been used as a central striker in the last couple of games, but with <strong>Hugo Ekitike (£8.9m) </strong>also recently returning from injury, the Dutchman is expected to move back out to his familiar left wing position.</p>
<p>Liverpool sit fourth in the Hub <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker" data-clevertap-listener="true">fixture ticker</a>, and Burnley at home this weekend is arguably the highest-upside game all season for the likes of Gakpo in attack.</p>
<div id="attachment_77057" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-77057" class="wp-image-77057 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/playerstats-Gakpo-bordered-3.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-77057" class="wp-caption-text">Cody Gakpo's stats</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Clarets appear to have something of a weakness down their right flank, shipping a greater number of chances down that side, and Gakpo is the type of aggressive penalty box player who could seriously punish this deficiency,</p>
<p>With eight attacking returns already this season and a trip to leaky Bournemouth up next, Gakpo's potential for regular goals is not to be ignored given the combination of his price and position in FPL.</p>
<p>Regardless of the long-term outlook, there are few midfielders offering a higher ceiling in Gameweek 22, with Burnley conceding a league-high 41 xG (expected goals) so far - six more than West Ham in 19th, and 10 more than Everton in 18th.</p>
