<\/p>\nIt\u2019s time to look at some more differential options as Gameweek 9 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) comes swiftly into view.<\/p>\n
As always, to qualify, the player must have an ownership of 5% or lower.<\/p>\n
RAYAN<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
FPL ownership: 2.0%<\/p>\n
Price: \u00a36.3m<\/p>\n
GW9-13 fixtures: LEE | ips | NFO | ful | BHA<\/p>\n
After a superb display in Bournemouth\u2019s 3-0 win over Manchester United last week, we\u2019ve opted to include Rayan (\u00a36.3m) among our trio of differentials.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian, who scored and really should have added a second, recorded 10 points for his 2.0% ownership.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think now he\u2019s in a good shape, in a good spot. He\u2019s struggled a little bit. He had the World Cup and then national team again travelling, preparation. This is hard for players like this, and now he is fresh.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow he has enough games with some rests inside, in between, in his feet, and today it looked really good, yeah.\u201d \u2013 Marco Rose on Rayan\u2019s Gameweek 8 display, via the Bournemouth Echo<\/a><\/p>\n In terms of his underlying numbers, Rayan impressively ranks top or joint-top among all midfielders for shots (26, see shot map below) and big chances (nine) in 2026\/27 so far, while he\u2019s also created four chances for his teammates.<\/p>\n Rayan subsequently looks well placed to translate those solid underlying stats into further FPL points, given that Bournemouth\u2019s fixtures<\/a> \u2013 except for Gameweek 15 \u2013 are excellent right the way through to the turn of the year.<\/p>\n Up first is Leeds United on Saturday. <\/p>\n This isn\u2019t a straightforward fixture, of course, with Daniel Farke\u2019s men ranked sixth for expected goals conceded (xGC). However, the Cherries have won five matches in a row in all competitions, so they arrive in good form.<\/p>\n And with the longer-term fixture outlook positive, now is surely the time to invest in Bournemouth.<\/p>\n So, while it is Marcus Tavernier (\u00a36.4m) who has rightly attracted plenty of investment following five goals in eight matches, Rayan provides plenty of upside as a differential.<\/p>\n MATTY CASH<\/p>\n FPL ownership: 4.3%<\/p>\n Price: \u00a34.3m<\/p>\n GW9-13 fixtures: FUL | mun | SUN | ips | EVE<\/p>\n Matty Cash (\u00a34.3m) could be worth a look as a cheap, low-owned defender.<\/p>\n The Polish international, who is only \u00a34.3m in FPL, has kept two clean sheets in his last four starts.<\/p>\n Although he\u2019s failed to produce a goal or an assist, he did help himself to six attacking returns (three goals, three assists) in 2025\/26, so the offensive threat is clearly there.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Cash has banked defensive contribution (DefCon) points in each of his last two appearances, and also took a couple of corners against Manchester City last time out.<\/p>\n Cash should be an assured starter in Gameweek 9, having been rested in midweek, and faces off against Fulham, who are the division\u2019s joint-lowest scorers on the road, with two goals in four away matches.<\/p>\n The longer-term fixture list is favourable for Unai Emery\u2019s side, too\u2026<\/p>\n Indeed, the Villans have the fourth-best clean sheet odds<\/a> of any team over that seven-match run, behind only Arsenal, Man City and Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-630.png\")
