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 essential daily Fantasy Premier League breakdown. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek fifteen is done and dusted, and with the Gameweek sixteen deadline hitting Saturday at half one, we've got critical injury news, explosive transfer trends, and a captaincy call that could make or break your week. Let's get straight into it.
Rapid fire news bulletin. First up, Liverpool are in crisis. Mohamed Salah is a major doubt with a groin issue, and Cody Gakpo is also sidelined. Alexander Isak has picked up another groin problem, throwing the Liverpool attack into chaos ahead of Brighton at home. This is massive for FPL managers heavily invested in their front line. Next, Crystal Palace have confirmed Daniel Munoz requires knee surgery and will miss Gameweek sixteen against Manchester City. At nearly ten percent ownership, that's a lot of dead teams carrying him. Over at Newcastle, Nick Pope and Joelinton remain doubts ahead of the Sunderland derby. Eddie Howe is keeping cards close to his chest, but both trained this week. Finally, Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez and Pau Torres both sat out Thursday's European fixture. Unai Emery will assess them before the West Ham trip, but rotation is a real concern. Right, let's dive into the transfer market.
Top three transfers in. Number one, Bruno Fernandes at nine point two million pounds. Ownership jumped from twenty five point six percent with over seven hundred and eighty thousand managers bringing him in. The Manchester United captain exploded in Gameweek fifteen, bagging two goals and an assist against Wolves for eighteen points including maximum bonus. That's now four goals and six assists for the season, averaging five point seven points per game. With Bournemouth visiting Old Trafford on Monday night, and Ruben Amorim's attacking system clicking, Fernandes is back in premium midfielder conversation. He's got eight point eight expected points for Gameweek sixteen. Verdict: good option if you don't own him, but be aware the fixture is Monday night, limiting flexibility.
Number two, Bruno Guimaraes at seven million pounds even. Over six hundred and thirty-seven thousand transfers in as Newcastle's Brazilian maestro continues his hot streak. Ten points in Gameweek fifteen with a goal against Burnley makes it five goals and four assists this season. He's averaging five point eight points per game with four clean sheets banked. Seven point eight expected points for the Sunderland derby at the Stadium of Light looks tasty. At seven million, he's incredible value in a Newcastle side pushing European spots. Verdict: essential. If you haven't got him, this is your week.
Number three, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at five point one million pounds. The Everton midfielder is flying under the radar with just nine point two percent ownership but over five hundred and sixty thousand brought him in this week. Sixteen points in Gameweek fifteen thanks to a goal, an assist, a clean sheet and maximum bonus against Nottingham Forest. That's four goals and three assists with six clean sheets already. He's playing advanced in David Moyes's setup and faces Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Five point eight expected points suggests continued returns. Verdict: excellent differential at five point one million. Everton's fixtures turn after this, so jump on now.
Top three transfers out. Number one, Harvey Barnes at six point four million pounds. Over one hundred and twenty-five thousand sold him, and rightly so. The Newcastle winger didn't feature at all in Gameweek fifteen against Burnley. Zero minutes is a killer. He's got just three goals this season and hasn't assisted once in fourteen gameweeks. His three point one points per game average is woeful for a six point four million asset. With Anthony Gordon, Jacob Murphy and others ahead in the pecking order, Barnes is a bench option at best. Verdict: sell immediately. There are far better six point four million midfielders out there.
Number two, Elliot Anderson at five point four million pounds. Nottingham Forest's midfielder saw over one hundred thousand bail after four points in the thrashing at Everton. He's been okay this season, sixty-two total points from one goal and two assists, but that five point two expected points doesn't inspire confidence ahead of the Tottenham clash. Forest's defensive fragility is hurting midfield assets, and at five point four million, Dewsbury-Hall offers much better value. Verdict: hold if you're priced out of moves, but he's sellable if funds are needed elsewhere.
Number three, Marc Cucurella at six point two million pounds. Over one hundred thousand moved him on despite Chelsea keeping a clean sheet. The Spanish left back got six points in the bore draw with Bournemouth, but his attacking returns have dried up. Just two assists all season and zero goals for a six point two million defender in a top four side isn't good enough. His three point five expected points for Everton at home is poor. With Trevoh Chalobah at five point four million offering better value with three goals already, Cucurella feels overpriced. Verdict: sell if you need to fund upgrades. Better defensive options exist at this price point.
Differential picks for the brave. First, Oghene Dango at six point one million pounds and just two percent ownership. The Brentford midfielder has three goals and four assists this season, sixty-two total points, and faces Leeds at home. Leeds shipped three to Liverpool in Gameweek fifteen, and Dango creates chances in Keith Andrews's system. At six point one million, he's a punt that could pay off big.
Second, Samuel Chukwueze at five point three million pounds with half a percent ownership. The Fulham winger has two goals and three assists but is criminally overlooked. Fulham visit Burnley, who've conceded in almost every home game. Marco Silva rotates, but when Chukwueze plays, he delivers in the final third. Five point eight expected points suggests an upset haul is possible.
Third, Enzo Le Fee at four point nine million pounds for Sunderland. Point six percent owned but fifty-six points this season says he's involved. Two goals, three assists, and Sunderland host Newcastle in a tasty derby. At four point nine million, he's the ultimate enabler with genuine attacking upside if the Black Cats grab a surprise result.
Captaincy and key tip. Bruno Fernandes is the standout captain pick for Gameweek sixteen. Bournemouth away on Monday night gives him prime conditions to build on that eighteen point haul. If you want safer, Bruno Guimaraes at home to Sunderland offers similar ceiling with derby motivation. Avoid Liverpool assets until we get clarity on Salah and Gakpo. Key tip: don't sleep on Trevoh Chalobah. Eleven points in Gameweek fifteen, seven clean sheets, three goals, five point four million. Chelsea face Everton at home. He's the set piece threat every defensive budget needs.
