Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL fix. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes we're breaking down everything you need to know for Gameweek Twenty Four. We'll cover the best defensive assets from Gameweek Twenty Three, essential transfers, and your captaincy pick. Let's dive in.
First, the news bulletin. Big team news dropping ahead of Gameweek Twenty Four. Bruno G is available for Newcastle after fitness concerns were raised yesterday. That's massive for managers who backed him in Gameweek Twenty Three. Cole Palmer trained fully at Chelsea and looks set to start against West Ham on Saturday evening. The Blues have a favourable run coming up, so Palmer remains essential. Arsenal's Timber is also fit and should start at Leeds, giving defensive stability to Mikel Arteta's backline. Patrick Dorgu is the big injury concern. The wing-back could miss up to ten weeks, which opens up opportunities for others in that price bracket. Finally, Gameweek Twenty Four has an early Saturday deadline at thirteen thirty, so don't miss it.
Now let's talk defensive contributions, our Wednesday focus. Who dominated the defensive stats in Gameweek Twenty Three? Matheus N from Man City tops the charts with eleven points. The five point four million pound defender delivered a clean sheet, an assist, and maximum bonus points in the two nil victory over Wolves. With eight clean sheets this season and five assists, he's delivering at both ends. City face Spurs on Sunday in a huge clash, but their fixtures improve dramatically from Gameweek Twenty Five onwards. At three point three percent ownership, he's an under the radar pick who combines defensive security with attacking threat.
Romero also bagged eleven points in Gameweek Twenty Three, scoring in the two all draw with Burnley. The five million pound Spurs defender now has four goals this season, making him one of the most attacking centre-backs in the league. His set piece threat is genuine, and with five clean sheets to his name, he's not just about goals. Spurs face City this weekend, which is tough, but then play Newcastle and Arsenal in consecutive weeks. At four point two percent ownership, Romero offers differential appeal with genuine upside. His ability to pop up with goals makes him more than just a defensive asset.
Justin from Leeds delivered nine points in Gameweek Twenty Three, scoring and picking up a bonus point in the one all draw with Everton. At just three point nine million pounds, he's one of the cheapest attacking defenders in the game. Leeds face Arsenal at home in Gameweek Twenty Four, which is difficult, but their fixtures turn green from Gameweek Twenty Five. With over six thousand transfers in this week, managers are catching on. If you need a budget enabler who can contribute points, Justin is your man. Zero point three percent ownership means almost nobody has him.
Let's move to transfers in. Who should you be buying for Gameweek Twenty Four? First up is Brobbey from Sunderland. The five point five million pound forward has picked up forty three thousand transfers in ahead of Monday's fixture against Burnley. He scored again in Gameweek Twenty Three, making it five goals this season in limited minutes. Sunderland then face Arsenal and Liverpool in Gameweeks Twenty Five and Twenty Six, which are tough, but Brobbey is a short term option who can deliver goals at a budget price. His explosiveness and eye for goal make him worth a punt. Verdict: good option for the next two weeks.
Mané at Wolves is next. The four point five million pound forward has attracted over forty three thousand transfers in. He's playing regularly, has two goals and two assists this season, and is dirt cheap. Wolves face Bournemouth at home in Gameweek Twenty Four, which is winnable, then Chelsea and Crystal Palace in the following weeks. At one point four percent ownership, he's a differential option who could free up funds elsewhere in your squad. The risk is that he doesn't always start, but at this price you're getting value. Verdict: great enabler if you need funds.
Anderson from Nott'm Forest is the third option. The five point three million pound midfielder sits at four point seven percent ownership and has collected over twenty eight thousand transfers in. He kept another clean sheet in Gameweek Twenty Three and now has five this season. Forest face Crystal Palace at home in Gameweek Twenty Four, which is a good fixture for defensive returns. With three assists to his name, Anderson contributes more than just clean sheet points. At ninety seven total points, he's been quietly consistent all season. Verdict: essential for defensive midfield coverage.
Now for transfers out. Who should you be selling? Collins from Brentford is hemorrhaging ownership, with over thirty one thousand transfers out. The five million pound defender failed to keep a clean sheet in the two nil defeat at Forest and now faces Aston Villa away, which is tough. Brentford have conceded thirty one goals this season, and their defensive record is poor. Collins has just one point in Gameweek Twenty Three and looks overpriced at five million. Better options exist at this price point. Verdict: sell immediately.
Ødegaard is the second sell candidate. Over ten thousand managers have moved him on, and it's understandable. The seven point eight million pound Arsenal midfielder managed just four points in Gameweek Twenty Three, picking up an assist but being substituted after fifty seven minutes. At this price, you need more consistent returns. Arsenal face Leeds away in Gameweek Twenty Four, which should be good, but Ødegaard's form rating of four point zero suggests he's not firing. With better midfield options available, he's expendable. Verdict: sell for better value.
Zubimendi rounds out the sells. The five point two million pound Arsenal midfielder also came off after fifty seven minutes in Gameweek Twenty Three, managing just one point. While he has eleven clean sheets this season, his attacking output is minimal with three goals and one assist. Arsenal's midfield is crowded, and at five point two million you need more than occasional clean sheet points. Nearly six thousand managers are selling, and you should join them. Verdict: hold if you need a defensive midfielder, otherwise sell.
Differential picks for the brave. M dot Fernandes at West Ham scored eight points in Gameweek Twenty Three, netting a goal and picking up two bonus points. The five point five million pound midfielder sits at just zero point two percent ownership and faces Chelsea away, which is tough, but he's in form. West Ham then play Burnley at home, which is a great fixture. His attacking threat makes him a genuine differential option if you want to be bold.
Matheus N we've already discussed, but at three point three percent he qualifies as a differential. Eleven points in Gameweek Twenty Three, combining defensive security with attacking returns. City's fixtures improve soon, making him a smart early move before his price rises.
Captaincy for Gameweek Twenty Four. It's got to be Cole Palmer at Chelsea. The Blues face West Ham at home on Saturday evening, and Palmer is their main man. He's fit, he's firing, and West Ham have conceded thirty goals this season. Palmer delivered consistently before his brief absence, and this is the perfect fixture for his return to form. Safe, sensible, and likely to deliver.
One key tip: watch that early Saturday deadline. Gameweek Twenty Four kicks off at thirteen thirty on Saturday, not the usual later time. Set your team by Friday night to avoid missing out. Several template players could haul this week, so don't get locked out.
