With only two weeks remaining of the Premier League season, the best move in Fantasy Premier League may be to look away from the obvious names. Wes Prickett says low ownership can still swing a mini-league late on, and his case leans on Jordan Pickford, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Viktor Gyökeres.
Prickett put it bluntly: "With only two weeks remaining of the Premier League season, selecting players with low ownership could be the key to a late surge up your mini-league."
Why Pickford is the clean-sheet punt
Pickford is the safest of the four picks if you want a goalkeeper with a route to points rather than a headline upside play. Prickett said, "I can see Pickford getting at least one clean sheet in the final two Gameweeks, with some save and bonus points along the way."
That call is built on the fixture and the recent numbers. Everton have no clean sheets from Pickford in their last five Gameweeks, but they are at home to Sunderland next, and Sunderland have only scored once in their past three games, against Wolves. Everton are 10th in the Premier League with 49 points from 36 matches, so this is about a steady end to the season rather than a side under pressure.
The appeal of Mavropanos and Gyokeres
Mavropanos is the more aggressive defensive play. Prickett backed him on the basis that he is averaging 12.0 defensive contributions per game over the past seven Gameweeks, which gives him a decent floor even before any attacking return is added. He has also scored twice in his most recent five league games, so there is more to his profile than blocks and clearances.
Gyökeres is the ceiling pick. Prickett said, "Viktor Gyokeres is on penalties and he's shown his haul potential with two goals and an assist vs Fulham in Gameweek 35." That burst matters because it gives managers a recent example of the kind of score that can change a mini-league chase quickly.
Dewsbury-Hall fits the same low-ownership logic, even if he is the quieter name in the group. He has eight attacking returns in his last 12 games, which is enough to keep him in the conversation for managers trying to find one more differential before the season ends.
The overall case is simple enough. If you are still chasing rank, Prickett is pushing four players who offer different routes to points, with Pickford the steadier bet, Mavropanos the defensive value, Dewsbury-Hall the balanced option and Gyökeres the most explosive finish. The next step is whether those picks land in the final two Gameweeks.
