⚽ Who Got The Points? - Daily Premier League Football Insights

Gameweek 29 is done and dusted, and there's no time to waste with the Gameweek 30 deadline landing on Saturday 14th March at 1:30pm — earlier than you might expect. In this rapid-fire episode of Who Got The Points?, we break down everything FPL managers need to know to maximise their points haul this week. We kick off with the key news items shaping your transfer decisions: João Pedro's stunning hat-trick and assist in Chelsea's 4-1 demolition of Aston Villa, O'Reilly's ankle injury concern ahead of a tricky Man City fixture, Virgil van Dijk's disappointing return after Liverpool's shock defeat to Wolves, and Saka continuing his fine form with a goal and clean sheet for Arsenal. Our top transfer ins for Gameweek 30 include the in-form João Pedro (9.7 expected points vs Newcastle), the prolific Semenyo despite a tough Man City fixture, and budget gem Anderson from Nottingham Forest at just £5.4m. On the outs, O'Reilly's injury makes him an easy sell, while Virgil and Anthony also come under the microscope. We also spotlight three differentials under 10% ownership — including a sub-1% Arsenal defender who returned 9 points in Gameweek 29 and could be your secret mini-league weapon. Plus, our captain pick is locked in with a very clear frontrunner given the form and fixture combination. Visit whogotthepoints.com for more FPL insights and analysis.

What is ⚽ Who Got The Points? - Daily Premier League Football Insights?

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.

Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail Gameweek Thirty. Transfers, captaincy, differentials — let's go.

Right, here's your rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, João Pedro had an absolute monster game for Chelsea in Gameweek Twenty-Nine, bagging a hat-trick and an assist in that stunning four-one win over Aston Villa. The man is in the form of his life. Secondly, O'Reilly missed Man City's draw with Nottingham Forest and is listed as doubtful with an ankle injury — there's a seventy-five percent chance of playing but that's still a concern heading into Gameweek Thirty. Keep an eye on that. Third, Wolves beat Liverpool two-one in a big result, meaning Virgil picked up just one point — Liverpool face Spurs at home in Gameweek Thirty though, so don't panic just yet. And finally, Saka scored and kept a clean sheet as Arsenal beat Brighton one-nil. Arsenal host Everton in Gameweek Thirty, another solid fixture on paper.

Now let's get into the transfers. Here are your top three ins for Gameweek Thirty.

First up — João Pedro. Seven point six million pounds, forty-six point two percent ownership. This man just dropped nineteen points in Gameweek Twenty-Nine. A hat-trick, an assist, and the maximum bonus. He has fourteen goals and nine assists this season. His expected points for Gameweek Thirty are nine point seven against Newcastle. Chelsea at home, great form, elite price point — this is Essential. Get him in if you haven't already.

Second transfer in — Semenyo. Eight point two million pounds, fifty-six point eight percent ownership. Already the most-owned player in the game, and he keeps delivering. Fifteen goals, six assists this season, and seven points in Gameweek Twenty-Nine with a goal. Man City face West Ham away in Gameweek Thirty — that's a tricky-looking fixture on paper, but Semenyo's individual quality makes him hard to ignore. Expected points of seven point five. Verdict: Good. If you don't have him, this is the week to act.

Third transfer in — Anderson. Five point four million pounds, six point four percent ownership. Nottingham Forest's midfielder scored in Gameweek Twenty-Nine against Man City and picked up twelve points including three bonus. He has two goals and three assists this season at just five point four million pounds. Forest host Fulham in Gameweek Thirty — that's a favourable home fixture. Expected points five point four. Verdict: Good. Brilliant budget option for those restructuring their midfield.

Now your top three transfers out for Gameweek Thirty.

First — Virgil. Six point one million pounds, thirty-two point three percent ownership. He was in our data as a key asset but he only got one point as Liverpool lost to Wolves two-one in Gameweek Twenty-Nine. He's been solid over the season with nine clean sheets, but Liverpool's form is a concern and their Gameweek Thirty fixture against Spurs at home is decent. Verdict: Hold for now — Liverpool at home is a good matchup, but if you need the funds and have a better option, the window is open.

Second — O'Reilly. Five point one million pounds, nine point five percent ownership. Doubtful with an ankle injury, missed Gameweek Twenty-Nine entirely, and managers are bleeding transfers rushing him out. Man City drew two-two with Forest, which isn't the clean sheet return defenders want. West Ham away in Gameweek Thirty is also not a nailed-on clean sheet opportunity. Verdict: Sell. The injury concern combined with a tough fixture makes this a straightforward decision.

Third sell — Anthony. Five point zero million pounds, one point nine percent ownership. Playing for Burnley who are shipping goals for fun — forty-three conceded this season. He only returned four points in Gameweek Twenty-Nine and Burnley host Bournemouth in Gameweek Thirty, hardly a walk in the park. His form of five point two is decent but there are far better options at that price. Verdict: Sell. Redirect those funds to Anderson or another mid-price gem.

Now let's talk differentials. Three picks under ten percent ownership that could make the difference in your mini leagues.

First — Diouf, West Ham defender, four point zero million pounds, two point one percent ownership. He kept a clean sheet as West Ham beat Fulham one-nil in Gameweek Twenty-Nine, and he's racked up six assists this season. Six clean sheets too at just four million pounds — that's remarkable value. West Ham face Man City in Gameweek Thirty which is tough, but at that price and with that assist record, he's a brilliant budget enabler.

Second differential — Hincapie. Arsenal defender, five point one million pounds, just zero point eight percent ownership. He played ninety minutes and kept a clean sheet in Arsenal's win over Brighton in Gameweek Twenty-Nine, returning nine points. Arsenal host Everton in Gameweek Thirty — another strong defensive setup under Mikel Arteta. Nine clean sheets for Arsenal this season, sixteen goals conceded. At under one percent ownership, he could be your secret weapon.

Third differential — Saka. Arsenal midfielder, nine point eight million pounds, eight point zero percent ownership. Yes, he's just below ten percent, so qualifies here. He scored and kept a clean sheet in Gameweek Twenty-Nine for nine points. Six goals and eight assists this season — this is premium-level output at a price that feels light given the returns. Arsenal versus Everton at home is a juicy Gameweek Thirty fixture. Verdict: Get him in before he rockets past ten percent.

Now for the captain pick and one key tip. Your captain for Gameweek Thirty — João Pedro. His expected points of nine point seven lead the pack, he's in blistering form with a hat-trick last time out, and Chelsea face Newcastle at Stamford Bridge. The form, the fixture, the confidence — it all points to João Pedro. If you don't own him yet, that's your priority transfer this week.

Key tip: The Gameweek Thirty deadline is Saturday the fourteenth of March at one thirty in the afternoon — earlier than a midweek deadline, so don't sleep on this one. Get your transfers and captain locked in before Saturday lunchtime.
