Kevin Schade FPL: £6.0m Midfielder Scores Twice — Buy for GW5?

The short answer

Kevin Schade (£6.0m) has become one of the strongest new FPL differential stories after scoring twice at Bournemouth.

Before GW4 he was owned by roughly 4% of managers and had started all three previous league matches.

He has now moved to three league goals.

Verdict: BUYABLE differential — but not a blind transfer because Chelsea are next.

Why the brace matters

Schade's early FPL problem was whether he would clearly separate from Brentford's other wide attackers.

The evidence now includes:

• regular starts,
• £6.0m price,
• direct goal threat,
• a GW4 brace,
• low ownership.

GW5: Chelsea at home

Chelsea's attack is dangerous, but their defensive record keeps Schade interesting even against a stronger opponent on paper.

Schade vs Anthony vs Ouattara

Schade now has the strongest current league evidence of the trio.

OneFPL verdict

Schade is now the leading Brentford midfield route for managers chasing goals and differential upside.
