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 your Gameweek thirty-five transfers before Friday's deadline at five thirty. Let's go.
Right, straight into the news. The big one first. M.Salah is doubtful for Gameweek thirty-five with a muscle injury, and we're talking just a twenty-five percent chance of playing. Liverpool face Man Utd on Sunday and that fixture alone made Salah a must-have consideration, but with those odds you simply cannot risk the armband on him. Nearly seventy-nine thousand managers have already transferred him out this gameweek, and that number is only going up before deadline. Do not be the one left holding him if he misses out.
Also worth flagging, Thiago had a blank in Gameweek thirty-four, scoring just one point despite playing ninety minutes. With Brentford facing West Ham in Gameweek thirty-five, over one hundred and five thousand managers are moving him out. His form has cooled and that ownership at thirty-five point two percent makes him a liability if he blanks again.
And keep an eye on team news coming out of Friday's press conferences. Multiple clubs are reporting injury updates ahead of the deadline, so stay close to the news right up until five thirty this evening.
Now let's get into your transfers.
Transfer In number one. Casemiro. Man Utd. Five point eight million pounds. Four point three percent ownership. This man hauled twelve points in Gameweek thirty-four, scoring a goal and picking up three bonus points. Nine goals and four assists on the season, and Man Utd now face Liverpool at home in Gameweek thirty-five. The expected points for next gameweek sit at eight point seven. Nearly seventy-seven thousand managers have brought him in this week already, and at under five percent ownership he's still a genuine differential. Verdict: Essential. Get him in before he explodes in price.
Transfer In number two. Bowen. West Ham. Seven point eight million pounds. Fifteen percent ownership. Two assists in Gameweek thirty-four, ten points, and a form rating of eight point seven. Eight goals and twelve assists this season make him one of the most creative assets in the game right now. West Ham face Brentford in Gameweek thirty-five, a very winnable fixture, and the expected points are sitting at eight point seven. Over one hundred and forty-six thousand transfers in this week. He is in rampant form. Verdict: Essential. He should be in your squad.
Transfer In number three. Groß. Brighton. Five point five million pounds. Two point three percent ownership. Brighton head to Newcastle in Gameweek thirty-five, and Groß has that expected points figure of seven point eight, the highest in our midfield options at his price range. Five clean sheets on the season, five assists, and he's priced at budget mid value. Over sixty-seven thousand managers are already moving for him. His low ownership means the upside is massive. Verdict: Good. A smart budget mid option with genuine ceiling.
Now the transfers out. Who needs to go?
Transfer Out number one. M.Salah. Liverpool. Fourteen point zero million pounds. Fourteen point three percent ownership. We've covered it already but here are the hard numbers. Twenty-five percent chance of playing. One point in Gameweek thirty-four. Expected points of just one point six for Gameweek thirty-five. Seventy-nine thousand transfers out already. If he misses the Man Utd game, that is your armband and your week gone. Verdict: Sell. The risk is simply too high at this price.
Transfer Out number two. Thiago. Brentford. Seven point four million pounds. Thirty-five point two percent ownership. Twenty-one goals on the season is elite, but one point in Gameweek thirty-four and a form dip to five point three is a concern. Over one hundred and five thousand managers are already shipping him out. Brentford vs West Ham in Gameweek thirty-five is decent but the momentum just isn't there right now. If you have a strong replacement lined up, this is a natural time to move. Verdict: Sell for most. If you have no obvious upgrade, Hold is acceptable.
Transfer Out number three. Virgil. Liverpool. Six point two million pounds. Thirty-two point nine percent ownership. Four points in Gameweek thirty-four and a clean sheet blank despite Liverpool winning three one against Crystal Palace. Over one hundred and forty-three thousand managers are moving him out. The Man Utd fixture in Gameweek thirty-five is tough defensively, and with Liverpool's defensive record this season showing forty-four goals conceded, the clean sheet potential is limited. Verdict: Sell. Reinvest that budget into attacking returns.
Differential picks. Under ten percent ownership. These are your mini-league movers.
First up. Dewsbury-Hall. Everton. Five point two million pounds. Six percent ownership. Eight points in Gameweek thirty-four with a goal. Eight goals and six assists on the season. Everton host Man City in Gameweek thirty-five, and yes that is a tough ask, but his expected points of seven point two show bookmakers respect what he can do. His form rating of seven point seven is outstanding for a five point two million pounds player. Sixty-three thousand transfers in this week. Sneaky differential with real upside.
Second differential. Jensen. Brentford. Four point nine million pounds. Just zero point one percent ownership. Ten points in Gameweek thirty-four including a goal. Eight clean sheets on the season, and Brentford face West Ham at home in Gameweek thirty-five. He is criminally under the radar at this price. If Brentford keep a clean sheet and Jensen contributes, you are looking at a huge haul from a player barely anyone owns. Verdict: Differential dart worth taking if you have the budget space.
Third differential. Mac Allister. Liverpool. Six point two million pounds. Two percent ownership. Thirteen points in Gameweek thirty-four with two assists and three bonus points. Liverpool face Man Utd in Gameweek thirty-five, and with M.Salah doubtful, Mac Allister becomes the premium Liverpool asset. Two assists and three bonus in one game shows he is in the thick of the action. Only two percent own him. That is a massive differential if Liverpool click against Man Utd. Get on him now.
Captaincy and one key tip. Your captaincy pick for Gameweek thirty-five is Bowen. West Ham vs Brentford, brilliant form, two assists last week, expected points of eight point seven. With Salah out and the big premium options stuttering, Bowen at seven point eight million pounds is your armband. If you want an alternative, Casemiro at home to Liverpool with that blistering twelve-point return fresh in the memory is a bold differential captain shout.
Key tip: do not panic transfer Rogers out just yet. He blanked with two points in Gameweek thirty-four, but Aston Villa face Spurs in Gameweek thirty-five, a genuinely good fixture, and with nine goals and seven assists on the season, the ceiling is still very much there. Hold unless you have a compelling upgrade.
