Differentials
Tactics
1) What is a differential?
Usually <10–20% ownership. But the key is why they can outscore the template now.
2) Where edges come from
- Role change (pens, set pieces, new position).
- Fixture clusters the template ignores.
- Underlying data spiking before points.
3) Risk control
Minutes risk kills differentials. Prioritize nailed picks, then layer upside (set pieces, counterattacks, matchups).
