The return to fitness of Pascal Gross (£6.7m) hands Fantasy Premier League managers a tempting differential for Gameweek 34.

Brighton & Hove Albion's playmaker has missed their last four Gameweeks through injury.

But he is back in full training and will be assessed prior to the Seagulls' pair of Gameweek 34 fixtures.

Brighton are one of just two teams to play twice this Gameweek, facing AFC Bournemouth and Cardiff City at the Amex Stadium.

Creative influence

The Seagulls also have a Double Gameweek 35 against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur.

Gross’s underlying statistics demonstrate his points potential. He has created 19 chances in his last four matches, more than any other player in FPL.

He is unlikely to make back-to-back 90-minute appearances in Gameweek 34 as he steps up his match fitness.

But as the only team with seven fixtures remaining, Brighton’s key players could yet deliver big points during the run-in.

Low ownership

Over 150,000 managers have played their Wildcard ahead of the two Double Gameweeks.

Those on the lookout for a big differential should consider Gross.

Owned by only 1.4 per cent of managers, he is set to be a key figure for Brighton in their bid to secure Premier League safety.
