GW38 Differentials: Low-Owned Gems to Climb the Ranks in the Final Gameweek

The final gameweek is your last chance to claw back rank, and that means targeting low-ownership assets who can haul while your rivals stare at blanks. Gibbs-White (7.0% owned), Truffert (4.7%), and Doku (6.4%) all carry sub-8% ownership with fixture difficulties of just 3, making them ideal rank-climbing weapons. One big score from any of these could move you thousands of places overnight.

Morgan Gibbs-WhiteBUY -- 87%
MIDNFO£7.5mForm: 7.4Owned: 7.0%Fixture: NFO(h) vs BOU, diff=3

The highest-form differential in the pool, Gibbs-White hosts Bournemouth in what shapes up as a high-scoring home affair with both sides showing attacking intent and a combined fixture difficulty of just 3. At only 7.0% ownership, captaining or even starting him could be the rank-saving move of the entire season.

TruffertBUY -- 79%
DEFBOU£4.7mForm: 5.8Owned: 4.7%Fixture: BOU(a) at NFO, diff=3

At just £4.7m, Truffert is among the cheapest genuine differential plays available, travelling to Nottingham Forest in the same mouth-watering NFO vs BOU clash. His form of 5.8 is exceptional for a defender, and at 4.7% ownership even a clean-sheet bonus return makes him a rank-climbing asset for pennies.

Jeremy DokuBUY -- 76%
MIDMCI£6.5mForm: 5.8Owned: 6.4%Fixture: MCI(h) vs AVL, diff=3

Doku hosts Aston Villa at the Etihad with a fixture difficulty of 3, and his explosive dribbling and chance-creation make him a constant goal-threat when he starts. At 6.4% ownership and form of 5.8, he rounds out a compelling trio of differentials who could collectively detonate for rank-climbing scores on the final day.

Groß -- BHA MID -- £? -- Form 4.8 -- Owned 3.2% -- BHA(h) diff=3WATCH

Both carry form scores of 4.8 with sub-8% ownership and easy home fixtures. Groß in particular at just 3.2% ownership could be a near-invisible rank-mover if Brighton fire on the final day.
