The same old name everywhere. And while it&#8217;s nothing wrong, it rarely helps you stand out. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<div data-testid=\"atom-body-paragraph\" class=\"text-onLight-02 break-words body-2 md:body-1\">Most advice columns go down the &#8220;free hit&#8221; route and trade whole teams that don&#8217;t actually change. Or they will tell you Captain Mohamed Salah.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>We do things differently. Every week we offer three fresh differentials:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">Player 1: Up to 10% Ownership player 2: Up to 5% Ownership player 3: Up to 2% Ownership player<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>There is no safe choice. There is no copy paste advice. Only low-owned players who can explode. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>One note of note: the first international break arrives after just three supplies. By that point, the transfer window will be closed and the early stages of the season will be much more clear. Rolling your transfer this week might be a smarter play. You are being warned!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>Anyway, there will be a GameWeek 2 deadline at 18:30 BST on Friday, August 22nd. Here is our latest trio&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"text-onLight-02 mt-10 mb-3 title-2 md:title-1\" data-testid=\"atom-body-h2\">1. Matthews Ku\u00f1a, \u00a38.0m (midfielder, Manchester United, 8.7%)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">Next six games: Fulham (a), Burnley (h), Man City (a), Chelsea (h), Brentford (a), Sunderland (h)<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>When was the last time you could tilt a Manchester United player, not named Bruno Fernandez, in a twitch from the room? Those days may have finally ended. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>Yes, United fired a void in the opening game against Arsenal, but once they carried a real threat &#8211; and Mateus Cunya was at the center of it. He scored high on all the most unscientific indicators: &#8220;I see it properly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>Fulham is next to Reuben Amorim&#8217;s men, but he&#8217;s in a match against Burnley, Old Trafford. Cunha is set to explode from the left flank. At \u00a3800,000, he appears to be of great value. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"text-onLight-02 mt-10 mb-3 title-2 md:title-1\" data-testid=\"atom-body-h2\">2. Pipe Matalsar, \u00a35.0m (Midfielder, Tottenham Hotspur, 2.8%)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">Next six games: Manchester City (A), Bournemouth (H), West Ham United (A), Brighton &#038; Hove Albion (A), Wolverhampton Wanderers (H), Leeds United (A)<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>&#8220;Wait&#8230; didn&#8217;t you choose Sarl last week?&#8221; <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>We did. And while his ownership was tweaked from 2.5% to 2.8%, it&#8217;s clear that not everyone got the notes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>Sarr earned an assist in Spurs&#8217; 3-0 victory over Burnley, and was two defensive contributions of shyness in hitting 12 targets that are closer to everyone else on the team. What&#8217;s next? Manchester City: A side that defensively tests the Spurs, leaving space for SARR to penetrate. He remains an underrated pick, even in Etihad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"text-onLight-02 mt-10 mb-3 title-2 md:title-1\" data-testid=\"atom-body-h2\">3. Eliezer Mayenda, \u00a35.5 million (forward, Sunderland, 1.5%)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">Next 6 games: Burnley (a), Brentford (H), Crystal Palace (A), Aston Villa (H), Nottingham Forest (A), Mann UTD (A) <\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>In the market for Njark to sign to boost your frontline? Move forward with Eliezer Mayenda. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<p>The Sunderland striker opened a Premier League account against West Ham, adding two bonus points to properly measure. Now, after managing all the games all six tackles, they&#8217;re facing the Burnley side, which looks good against the Spurs. If that&#8217;s a sign of the future, Mayenda could once again easily cash out at Turf Moor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 first:mt-0 lg:mt-4\">\n<div data-testid=\"atom-body-paragraph\" class=\"text-onLight-02 break-words body-2 md:body-1\">Watch the 2025\/26 Premier League season on TNT Sports and Discovery+<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tntsports.co.uk\/football\/premier-league\/2025-2026\/fantasy-premier-league-fpl-gw2-differentials_sto23212990\/story.shtml\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scrolling through the mini league is probably something like Deja Vu.
