Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL fix. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, you're getting everything you need to dominate Gameweek Twenty Four. We're breaking down the biggest movers, the smartest picks, and the captain decision that could make or break your rank. Let's dive in.
Right, quick news bulletin. First up, Champions League fixture congestion is hitting hard. Newcastle face two extra play-off games while Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Man City skip straight to the last sixteen. That's rotation risk for Newcastle assets over the coming weeks, so factor that in. Second, Man United's attacking assets are absolutely flying. Mbeumo bagged ten points in Gameweek Twenty Three with a goal and maximum bonus against Arsenal, while B.Fernandes added another assist to his tally. Both are essential heading into their home fixture against Fulham. Third, Arsenal's defence got exposed. Three goals conceded at home means Gabriel owners are sweating despite his massive ownership. Fourth, Brentford's blank at Crystal Palace has everyone questioning Thiago. Zero attacking returns and another massive sell-off is underway. Finally, Leeds host Arsenal this weekend, and with Daniel Farke's side looking solid at home, there could be value in their budget options.
Let's talk transfers in. Top of the list, Mbeumo at eight point three million pounds. He's now owned by fifteen point six percent of managers and over half a million brought him in this week. Started and played sixty eight minutes against Arsenal, scored his eighth goal of the season, and grabbed maximum bonus for ten points. He's playing as an out and out striker for Man United under Michael Carrick, and Fulham at home looks tasty. With three clean sheets and consistent returns, this is a premium midfielder who's actually delivering. Verdict? Essential purchase if you can afford him.
Next up, B.Fernandes at nine point five million pounds. Twenty four percent ownership and six hundred thousand transfers in says it all. He assisted in the Arsenal win, now has ten assists and five goals this season, and is on every set piece for United. Expected four point four points against Fulham, but that feels conservative given United's momentum. The fixtures turn after this, but for immediate returns, he's a must. Verdict? Buy now, captain material for Gameweek Twenty Four.
Third transfer in is Gabriel at six point nine million pounds. Thirty seven point six percent own him, so he's template material. Ten clean sheets this season is elite for a defender at his price. Yes, he got one point in Gameweek Twenty Three after conceding three at home, but Arsenal away to Leeds isn't a terrible fixture. Eight point eight expected points next shows the algorithm still backs him. The concern is whether Arsenal's defensive solidity is cracking, but at his price with set piece threat, he's hard to ignore. Verdict? Good buy for the fixtures ahead, despite the blip.
Transfers out time. First up, Thiago at seven point two million pounds. Thirty seven percent still own him, but nearly two hundred thousand shipped him out after his blank. Two points against Brentford, zero goals or assists, and he's suddenly looking mortal. Sixteen goals this season is impressive, but the returns have dried up. Seven expected points next against Aston Villa suggests a bounce back, but the fixtures after that are mixed. If you need funds or have two transfers, he's moveable. Verdict? Sell if you're wildcarding or have pressing needs elsewhere, but not a panic move yet.
Second sell is Tarkowski at five point eight million pounds. Fourteen percent ownership and he's haemorrhaging managers. Four points in Gameweek Twenty Three after Everton drew one all with Leeds. Nine clean sheets is solid, but Everton's defensive record is wobbling. Five point four expected points next against Brighton away isn't inspiring. The issue is David Moyes' side are conceding chances, and at five point eight million, you want more security. Verdict? Sell if you can upgrade to a premium defender with better fixtures.
Third to move on from is Trossard at six point eight million pounds. Just one point five percent own him, and they're selling. Two points in Gameweek Twenty Three after playing seventy four minutes without returns against Man United. Five goals and four assists all season isn't enough for a six point eight million midfielder. The rotation risk under Mikel Arteta is brutal, and even with Arsenal's decent fixtures, he's not nailed. Four point eight expected points shows the system doesn't rate him either. Verdict? Sell and use the funds on a more reliable asset.
Differential time. Under ten percent ownership only. First, Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest at seven point three million pounds. Three point one percent ownership. Six points in Gameweek Twenty Three with an assist and clean sheet against Brentford. Five goals and two assists this season, and Sean Dyche has Forest playing solid football. Crystal Palace at home in Gameweek Twenty Four could bring returns, and he's on set pieces. Five point six expected points next. At his price with Forest's fixtures, he's a genuine differential captain shout for the brave.
Second differential, Matheus N from Man City at five point four million pounds. Three point three percent own him. Eleven points in Gameweek Twenty Three with an assist, clean sheet and maximum bonus against Wolves. Eight clean sheets this season and five assists from defence is exceptional. Pep Guardiola trusts him, and at five point four million, he's a bargain enabler who actually delivers. City away to Spurs is tough, but five point five expected points shows promise. Worth a punt if you need funds freed up elsewhere.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek Twenty Four? It's Mbeumo. Man United at home to Fulham, in red hot form, eight goals this season, and playing as the main striker. Marco Silva's defence has been leaky, and with Mbeumo's bonus magnet status, he could easily drop fifteen plus points. Safer options are B.Fernandes in the same fixture or Gabriel away to Leeds if you want defensive security. But for ceiling? Mbeumo all day.
One key tip to close. Don't panic sell Thiago yet. One blank doesn't erase sixteen goals. If you have bigger fires to fight like injured players or terrible fixtures elsewhere, hold him for one more week. But if you're on a wildcard or free hit, yeah, move him on.
