GW36 Differentials: Gibbs-White, Bowen & Casemiro Are Flying Under the Radar

With the top-owned assets heavily priced in, GW36 rewards managers willing to look elsewhere. Gibbs-White is the highest-form player in the game at 8.8 yet sits at a mere 12.6% ownership ahead of Nottingham Forest hosting Newcastle (difficulty 3). Bowen and Casemiro add further differential firepower with West Ham hosting Arsenal and Sunderland hosting Manchester United.

The league's best in-form midfielder is being massively overlooked. Forest's home tie against Newcastle at difficulty 3 is one of the standout fixtures this week, and Gibbs-White's involvement in goals and assists has been relentless.

Form 7.0Owned 14.9%WHU (h) vs ARS · Diff 4

Bowen carries a slightly tougher fixture as Arsenal visit the London Stadium, but his 7.0 form and consistent attacking returns make him a credible differential. At 14.9% ownership, landing a Bowen haul would be a genuine rank-climbing moment.

Form 6.5Owned 4.7%SUN (h) vs MUN · Diff 3

At just 4.7% ownership, Casemiro is the ultimate differential. Sunderland hosting Manchester United at difficulty 3 is a winnable away game, and Casemiro's recent form of 6.5 suggests he is contributing at both ends of the pitch at a budget price.
