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. Gameweek thirty-two is done and dusted, and Gameweek thirty-three is a Double Gameweek with some teams playing twice. The deadline is Saturday the eighteenth of April at ten in the morning. Do not sleep on this one.
Right, let's hit the news fast. First up, the big one. Ekitike is ruled out for the rest of the season. That's a massive blow for anyone who held him. If you haven't already moved him on, this is your last chance window. Get him out before the deadline. Replacements are absolutely critical this week, and we'll get to that.
Next, from Arsenal's camp, Rice is fit which is a relief for Arsenal holders, but Saka and Timber are still absent. No update on their return. That's a concern heading into Arsenal's tough trip to Man City on Sunday. Arsenal do have a second Double Gameweek fixture if you're considering their assets, but the absentees weaken the case.
Third, Madueke has picked up an injury, which affects Chelsea's attacking options going into a tricky Double Gameweek. Chelsea face Man United on Saturday and then Brighton on Tuesday. Worth noting for anyone considering Palmer.
Finally, this is a Double Gameweek for a number of sides. Bournemouth, Burnley, Brighton, Chelsea, Leeds, and Man City all have two fixtures this week. That heavily shapes your transfer strategy. Double Gameweek assets are at an absolute premium right now.
Now, transfers in. Who are you bringing in for Gameweek thirty-three?
First up, Guéhi at Man City. Five point one million pounds, thirty-four point six percent ownership. In Gameweek thirty-two he was absolutely magnificent. Ninety minutes, a goal, a clean sheet, three bonus points, fifteen fantasy points in one game. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-three sit at thirty point five against Arsenal. Yes, that's a tough fixture, but Man City are at home and Guéhi has eleven clean sheets this season with three goals and four assists. He's a five million pound defender punching way above his price tag. With a Double Gameweek, the ceiling here is enormous. Verdict: Essential.
Second transfer in, Doku at Man City. Six point four million pounds, two point six percent ownership. He scored in Gameweek thirty-two and has seven assists to his name this season. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-three are sixteen point five, the highest in our data pool. Man City have two fixtures this week, and Doku is a genuine attacking threat. At under three percent ownership, this is a differential with premium upside. We flagged him as a buy recently and that call looks even better now. Verdict: Essential buy for those seeking a differential.
Third transfer in, Beto at Everton. Five point oh million pounds, two point nine percent ownership. He scored in Gameweek thirty-two playing seventy-three minutes, picking up seven points. He's bagged seven goals this season and has an expected points total of eleven point oh for Gameweek thirty-three against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby. Now that's a tough game on paper, but Beto has been in red-hot form with a form score of eleven point five. He's being transferred in by nearly fourteen thousand managers this week. At five million pounds, he offers huge value. Verdict: Good buy.
Transfers out. Who needs to go before Saturday?
First, Ekitike. As mentioned, he is done for the season. There is no holding here, no debate. If you own him, he needs to leave immediately. He will score zero for the rest of the campaign. Sell him now. Verdict: Sell immediately.
Second, Gabriel at Arsenal. Seven point two million pounds, forty-one point five percent ownership. He's the most-owned player in the game but he only returned four points in Gameweek thirty-two as Arsenal lost one-nil to Bournemouth. He faces Man City away in Gameweek thirty-three, which is a very difficult clean sheet prospect. His form has dipped to four point oh, and with Saka and Timber still out, Arsenal's attacking output is reduced. Eighty-six thousand managers are already transferring him out this week. With a tough fixture and no Double Gameweek for Arsenal, the opportunity cost is significant. Verdict: Sell if you need the funds for Double Gameweek assets.
Third, Palmer at Chelsea. Ten point five million pounds, nineteen point eight percent ownership. He only managed four points in Gameweek thirty-two as Chelsea were hammered three-nil by Man City. His form is down to three point oh and Madueke's injury creates uncertainty in the Chelsea setup. Chelsea do have a Double Gameweek with Man United and Brighton, so there's a case for keeping him if you trust the fixtures. But at ten point five million, if he's not delivering and you need funds for Double Gameweek differentials, now might be the moment to shift him. Verdict: Hold if you have the cash elsewhere, consider selling if you need the funds urgently.
Differential picks. Under ten percent ownership, let's go.
Hudson-Odoi at Nott'm Forest. Five point seven million pounds, zero point seven percent ownership. He played the full ninety in Gameweek thirty-two, grabbed an assist, two bonus points, and returned seven fantasy points. He has four assists and three goals this season. Forest face Burnley in Gameweek thirty-three, which is a very favourable fixture. At under one percent ownership, he's a genuine points haul waiting to happen. If you need a budget midfielder who can deliver, Hudson-Odoi is your man.
Bowen at West Ham. Seven point six million pounds, ten percent ownership. Okay, he's right on that ownership threshold but his Gameweek thirty-two performance deserves a mention. He assisted three times in West Ham's four-nil demolition of Wolves, returning fourteen fantasy points. Eight goals and ten assists this season shows his all-round threat. West Ham face Crystal Palace in Gameweek thirty-three on Monday night. Good fixture, in-form player. If you don't have him, he's worth serious consideration.
Captaincy pick and one key tip. The captain armband this week has to go on Guéhi. Thirty point five expected points, a goal in his last outing, and Man City at home in a Double Gameweek. The risk is the Arsenal fixture, but the potential reward is enormous. Alternative captain is Doku if you want even more of a differential feel.
Key tip this week: this is a Double Gameweek. Every transfer decision you make should prioritise players with two fixtures. Guéhi and Doku from Man City both double up. Use that Bench Boost or Free Hit chip if you have it available, as the Double Gameweek creates the perfect chip-playing opportunity. The Gameweek thirty-three deadline is Saturday the eighteenth of April at ten in the morning. Set your alarms.
