Your daily dose of Premier League insights - powered by data, driven by AI. From top transfer tips to captain picks, we break it all down in under 10 minutes.
Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily Fantasy Premier League briefing. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek thirteen is done and dusted, and we're looking ahead to Gameweek fourteen with a quick Tuesday deadline at six p.m. We've got the essential transfers, the injury news that matters, and the captaincy picks you need before the midweek madness kicks off. Let's get straight into it.
First up, the news bulletin. Starting with Arsenal, and it's a concern for many managers. William Saliba missed the Chelsea draw through suspension, serving a one match ban. He'll be back for Gameweek fourteen against Brentford, but Leandro Trossard was also absent from the squad entirely. Mikel Arteta hasn't confirmed whether it's injury or tactical, so monitor the press conference before Tuesday's deadline. Mohamed Salah was benched against West Ham in Gameweek thirteen, a rest ahead of the busy schedule. Arne Slot confirmed it was rotation, and Salah should return for Gameweek fourteen against Sunderland at Anfield. That's crucial for the sixty one percent of managers who own him. Newcastle's Nick Pope picked up an injury during the four one win at Everton. Eddie Howe said post match that Pope felt something and came off as a precaution. Aaron Ramsdale made his league debut for the Magpies and kept a clean sheet, so if Pope misses Gameweek fourteen against Spurs, Ramsdale at four point nine million pounds becomes a viable budget option. Marcos Senesi will miss Gameweek fourteen for Bournemouth after picking up his fifth yellow card against Sunderland. With Everton visiting the Vitality Stadium, Andoni Iraola's defense loses a key piece. Finally, Gianluigi Donnarumma is one yellow card away from a suspension for Manchester City after his booking against Leeds. Something to monitor if you're considering City defenders.
Right, let's talk transfers in. First up, Bruno Fernandes at eight point nine million pounds. Ownership has jumped to sixteen point nine percent after back to back hauls. In Gameweek thirteen against Crystal Palace, Bruno started and played ninety minutes, grabbed two assists, earned three bonus points, and returned eleven fantasy points. That's now twenty four points in his last two gameweeks. Ruben Amorim's system is working wonders for the Portuguese midfielder, who's on penalties and playing as the most advanced of United's midfield trio. West Ham at home in Gameweek fourteen looks ideal, and then you've got Bournemouth and Wolves to follow. One key stat, five assists this season already, joint top for United. Verdict, essential. If you don't have Bruno, this is the week to get him in.
Next, Jurrien Timber at six point four million pounds and thirty two point six percent ownership. The Arsenal defender is the highest owned player in the game right now for good reason. In Gameweek thirteen, Timber started and played ninety minutes in the Chelsea draw, picking up two points. That's seventy four points total this season, averaging five point seven per game. He's involved in everything for Arsenal, bombing forward as an inverted full back. Two goals and three assists this season from defense. With Brentford at home in Gameweek fourteen and then Aston Villa and Bournemouth away, Arsenal's fixtures remain strong. One key stat, six clean sheets already. Verdict, essential. If you somehow don't own Timber, fix that immediately.
Third transfer in, Jean-Philippe Mateta at eight point one million pounds. Ownership is thirty point one percent and climbing fast. Mateta scored against Manchester United in Gameweek thirteen, playing the full ninety minutes and earning six points with a goal. Seven goals this season now, and he's Crystal Palace's main goal threat under Oliver Glasner. Palace have found form recently, and Mateta's fixtures look tasty. Burnley away in Gameweek fourteen, then Fulham and Manchester City. One key stat, he's returned in three of his last four matches. Verdict, good option. At eight point one million pounds, he's not cheap, but he's delivering consistent returns for a resurgent Palace side.
Now the transfers out. First, João Pedro at seven point four million pounds. The Chelsea forward is hemorrhaging ownership, down from forty three point two percent as ninety five thousand managers sold him this week alone. In Gameweek thirteen against Arsenal, João Pedro started but was substituted after just fifty four minutes, managing only one point with no attacking returns. He's been shifted around the pitch by Enzo Maresca, sometimes playing deeper, and the minutes aren't guaranteed. Sixty one total points isn't bad, but the inconsistency is frustrating. With Leeds away in Gameweek quatorze, then Bournemouth and Newcastle, the fixtures aren't terrible, but there are better options at this price. One key stat, just one return in his last four gameweeks. Verdict, sell. Free up the funds for Bruno or Mateta.
Second transfer out, Danny Welbeck at six point six million pounds. Ownership sits at ten point nine percent, and he's treading water. Against Nottingham Forest in Gameweek thirteen, Welbeck started but was subbed off after sixty four minutes, earning just two points from the clean sheet. Brighton won two nil, but Welbeck wasn't involved in either goal. Seven goals this season sounds good, but he's gone three matches without a return. At thirty six years old, rotation is inevitable with Fabian Hurzeler managing his minutes carefully. Brighton face Aston Villa at home in Gameweek fourteen, then West Ham away. One key stat, zero assists all season despite Brighton's attacking play. Verdict, sell if you need funds. If he's your third forward and bench fodder, you can hold, but he's not reliable enough for your starting eleven anymore.
Third transfer out, Richarlison at six point four million pounds with seven point seven percent ownership. The Spurs forward picked up just one point against Fulham in Gameweek thirteen, playing fifty nine minutes before being subbed off. Fifty one total points from thirteen gameweeks isn't good enough at that price. Thomas Frank is rotating heavily, and Richarlison isn't nailed on to start. Newcastle away in Gameweek fourteen is a tough fixture, followed by Nottingham Forest and Liverpool. One key stat, he's blanked in four of his last five matches. Verdict, sell. There are better forward options available at similar prices. Move him on.
Differential picks for the brave. First, Nick Woltemade at seven point four million pounds and nineteen point five percent ownership, just scraping under the twenty percent threshold. The Newcastle forward scored in Gameweek thirteen against Everton, playing eighty nine minutes and earning seven points with a goal and bonus. Five goals and one assist this season, averaging four point nine points per game. With Spurs at home in Gameweek fourteen, he's a captaincy differential option. Secondly, Declan Rice at seven million pounds and twenty three point four percent ownership. Seventy five total points this season, averaging five point eight per game. Two goals, five assists, and six clean sheets. Arsenal face Brentford at home in Gameweek fourteen, and Rice has been Arsenal's most consistent performer. Third, Felix Nmecha at five million pounds with just nought point seven percent ownership. The Leeds forward scored against Manchester City in Gameweek thirteen, playing eighty one minutes and earning four points. Four goals this season from a five million pound forward is excellent value. Chelsea away is tough in Gameweek fourteen, but Leeds have been competitive, and Nmecha offers a unique differential if you're chasing in your mini leagues.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek fourteen, Mohamed Salah against Sunderland at Anfield on Wednesday night. After being rested in Gameweek thirteen, Salah will be fresh and hungry. Sunderland away is as good as it gets for captaincy. If you want a differential, Bruno Fernandes at home to West Ham on Thursday night is the play. One key tip for Gameweek fourteen, don't panic sell your Chelsea and Arsenal assets after that one all draw. Both teams have excellent fixtures coming up, and knee jerk moves will cost you points. Focus on getting Bruno Fernandes in if you can afford him, and make sure your captaincy is locked on Salah or Bruno.
