<\/p>\nNewcastle United, Brentford and Liverpool players are on our differentials radar in Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).<\/p>\n
BRUNO GUIMARAES<\/p>\n
Newcastle entertain Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, and we think Bruno Guimaraes<\/strong> (\u00a36.8m) could enjoy a fruitful afternoon.<\/p>\n The Brazilian, who returned to action as a starter against Arsenal last week, has been in superb form on home turf in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n He has scored eight goals and supplied five assists in 11 starts and two substitute appearances at St James\u2019 Park, amassing 96 points, the sixth-most of any player, despite playing fewer minutes.<\/p>\n Above: Players sorted by FPL points (home matches only)<\/p>\n In addition, Bruno has been directly involved in 52% of Newcastle\u2019s goals when on the pitch at St James\u2019 Park this season.<\/p>\n Orchestrating play from his central midfield role, he fired narrowly over at Arsenal last week, and also took several corners and free-kicks. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The only issue is that Newcastle are in really poor form.<\/p>\n However, it was a much better performance last time out, and with Bruno re-joining the team, you\u2019d expect improvement over the next four Gameweeks. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Priced at \u00a36.8m, and with home matches against Brighton and West Ham United to come, Bruno appears to have the ideal platform to be a key differential.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also important to mention that Newcastle play Nottingham Forest next week, just a few days after the Tricky Trees\u2019 UEFA Europa League semi-final second leg at Villa Park. With the tie finely poised, it could potentially go to extra time and penalties.<\/p>\n DANGO OUATTARA Brentford similarly have a couple of favourable home fixtures coming up.<\/p>\n While Igor Thiago (\u00a37.4m) is an obvious target, some Fantasy managers may want a cheaper differential alternative.<\/p>\n Dango Ouattara<\/strong> (\u00a35.8m) meets the criteria. He is Brentford\u2019s joint-top scoring midfielder this season, with 112 points, despite playing fewer minutes than Kevin Schade (\u00a36.9m).<\/p>\n He\u2019s delivered 12 attacking returns in 22 starts and six substitute appearances.<\/p>\n His underlying numbers add further appeal, too.<\/p>\n Among all Fantasy midfielders who have made more than five starts this season, Ouattara ranks second for the most big chances per 90 minutes, with 0.71.<\/p>\n He\u2019s also created eight big chances for his teammates since Gameweek 25 \u2013 only Bruno Fernandes (\u00a310.4m) has more in his position.<\/p>\n Brentford, meanwhile, surprisingly rank first for minutes per expected goal (xG) on home turf in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n Above: Teams sorted by minutes per xG (home matches only)<\/p>\n Ouattara, who also takes some corners for Brentford, hit the post at Old Trafford on Monday, and with home matches against West Ham and Crystal Palace to come, could be a fine differential for the run-in.<\/p>\n Notably, six points are probably a must for Brentford in each of their home matches if they are to qualify for Europe.<\/p>\n ALEXANDER ISAK Alexander Isak<\/strong> (\u00a310.3m)\u00a0has endured a difficult season, mainly due to injury, but last week\u2019s opportunistic strike against Crystal Palace could provide the catalyst for improvement.<\/p>\n The Sweden international played for 78 minutes, and with Hugo Ekitike (\u00a39.1m) ruled out for the rest of the season, should lead the line in each of Liverpool\u2019s final four matches.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving Alex more and more available would help with converting created chances into goals, which is something we haven\u2019t done very well this season.\u201d \u2013 Arne Slot<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n A win at Old Trafford on Sunday could see Liverpool move up to third on goal difference.<\/p>\n Notably, Manchester United have kept just six clean sheets this season, fewer than every other team except Burnley, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham.<\/p>\n Above: Teams sorted by fewest clean sheets (CS) in 2025\/26<\/p>\n And without Mohamed Salah (\u00a314.0m), others will need to step up for Liverpool.<\/p>\n That includes Isak, the focal point of Arne Slot\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n Potentially tricky fixtures against Chelsea, Aston Villa and Brentford follow, but Isak, who, despite a poor season, has still scored three times in his last eight league matches, could do well over this run, building some momentum in the process.<\/p>\n It could be worth taking a punt on Isak, then, who could provide a real rank boost if he delivers.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screen-Shot-2026-05-01-at-09.47.26-1024x462.png\")
