Isidore has emerged as a surprise package and a true dark horse for Birmingham City in the 2025/26 Championship season. With an ownership of less than 2%, he stands out as a differential pick for FPL managers looking to bring something unique to their squads.
So far, Isidore has netted three goals—the same tally as high-profile names like Gyökeres and João Pedro—underlining his impact despite playing for a team often seen as an underdog.

In short, Isidore is a surprising yet powerful pick who could prove decisive in shaping the perfect lineup, especially with the next gameweeks just around the corner.
Lyle Foster, the South African forward leading the line for Burnley in the 2025/26 season, is priced at around £5.0m in Fantasy. With an ownership of just 1.7%, he offers managers a valuable differential pick to stand out from the crowd.
So far, he has been directly involved in two of Burnley’s four goals, collecting 18 points—an average of roughly 3.5 points per match. Combining physical strength, pace, and sharp finishing, Foster is shaping up to be a promising option who adds real value to FPL squads, especially for managers seeking affordable, reliable performers.
Iliman Ndiaye has cemented his place as a key starter for Everton in the 2025/26 season, featuring regularly in the first XI. Across five matches so far, he has scored twice and provided one assist, amassing 28 Fantasy points. With an ownership of under 10%, he offers managers a valuable low-owned differential with a direct impact on games.
Ndiaye’s strength lies in his attacking contributions and consistent performances, making him a dependable option for FPL squads aiming to build the perfect lineup for the upcoming gameweeks.
Alex Iwobi, Fulham’s star and a key figure for the Nigerian national team, has been in fine form during the 2025/26 Premier League season. In his five appearances so far, he has been involved in three goals—scoring twice and providing one assist—highlighting his strong attacking influence and importance to the team.
In Fantasy, Iwobi has collected 28 points to date and is priced at £6.5m, making him a valuable mid-priced option for managers seeking consistent returns. With his pace, creativity, and attacking flair, he stands out as a reliable asset who can play a pivotal role in shaping your FPL lineup.
