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 daily Fantasy Premier League briefing. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes: Harry Wilson's explosive haul, Mal Gusto's breakout performance, and the crucial injury news that could derail your Gameweek seventeen plans. Let's dive in.
First, the rapid-fire news bulletin. Dominic Szoboszlai picked up a knock for Liverpool in their two-nil win over Brighton. Arne Slot confirmed the midfielder felt something in his hamstring and was taken off as a precaution. One to monitor ahead of that massive Gameweek seventeen clash with Spurs. Next, Daniel Munoz remains sidelined for Crystal Palace with a knee injury, not expected back until mid-January. Over two hundred thousand managers have finally pulled the trigger on selling the Colombian defender who'd been such a reliable asset. Third, Bryan Mbeumo is away at the Africa Cup of Nations and red-flagged as unavailable. The Man Utd midfielder has seen over two hundred thousand transfers out this week as managers pivot away from AFCON-affected assets. Fourth, Iliman Ndiaye also red-flagged for AFCON duty with Senegal. Everton's creator blanked against Chelsea before jetting off, and fifty-five thousand managers have already moved him on. Finally, Arsenal's entire defensive trio of Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, and William Saliba all declared fit for their win over Wolves. Mikel Arteta's backline is healthy heading into that tasty Gameweek seventeen trip to Everton.
Now, your top three transfers in for Gameweek seventeen. First up, Harry Wilson at five point five million pounds. The Fulham midfielder has exploded into one hundred and seventy-nine thousand teams this week after a sixteen-point haul against Burnley. Wilson scored once, grabbed two assists, and claimed maximum bonus in eighty-eight minutes of action. That's five goals and five assists for the season now from a midfielder priced at just five point five. The verdict? Good option. Fulham face Nottingham Forest on Monday night in Gameweek seventeen, then West Ham in Gameweek eighteen. Wilson's on set pieces, he's in red-hot form with eight point eight expected points, and he's budget-friendly for those looking to upgrade elsewhere.
Second, Hugo Ekitike at eight point five million pounds. The Liverpool striker has attracted one hundred and thirty-three thousand new owners after bagging a brace against Brighton. Ekitike played seventy-seven minutes, scored twice, kept a clean sheet, and earned maximum bonus for thirteen points. That's seven goals from just fifteen appearances this season. The verdict? Essential if you don't own him. Liverpool face Spurs away in Gameweek seventeen, then Wolves at home in Gameweek eighteen. Ekitike is Arne Slot's first-choice striker, playing in the league's best attack, and has six point three expected points next. At fifteen point eight percent ownership, he's still not over-owned despite being Liverpool's main goal threat.
Third, Bruno Guimaraes at seven million pounds. The Newcastle midfielder continues to tick along with thirty-five thousand transfers in this week. Bruno's on five goals and four assists for the season, delivering eighty-one total points at five point eight points per game. That's four clean sheets as well, showcasing his bonus magnet status. The verdict? Good differential. Newcastle face Chelsea away in Gameweek seventeen, then Man Utd at home in Gameweek eighteen. At fifteen point two percent ownership, Bruno offers captaincy potential in the right fixtures and consistent returns from midfield. His price has risen five times already this season, reflecting his strong form under Eddie Howe.
Now, your top three transfers out. First, Daniel Munoz at six million pounds. One hundred and twenty-one thousand managers have finally cut ties with the Crystal Palace defender. Munoz picked up a knee injury and won't return until mid-January, ruling him out of Gameweeks seventeen through twenty at minimum. He'd been brilliant earlier in the season with eighty-nine total points from seven clean sheets, three goals, and three assists. The verdict? Sell immediately. You can't carry a six million pound defender who won't play for a month. Downgrade to a playing four point five and use those funds to upgrade your attack, or move sideways to a Chelsea or Liverpool defender with better fixtures.
Second, Bryan Mbeumo at eight point three million pounds. Over two hundred thousand managers have shipped out the Man Utd midfielder as he departs for AFCON duty. Mbeumo is red-flagged as unavailable and won't feature for several gameweeks while representing Cameroon. He'd delivered seventy-two points from six goals and one assist before his departure. The verdict? Sell now. Man Utd have Bournemouth on Monday night, but Mbeumo won't feature. You need playing assets, especially with Gameweek seventeen's huge fixture list. Move to Wilson, Neto, or boost up to Bruno Fernandes if you don't own United's other midfielder.
Third, Iliman Ndiaye at six point four million pounds. Fifty-five thousand transfers out for the Everton midfielder who's also AFCON-bound with Senegal. Ndiaye managed just two points against Chelsea, playing ninety minutes but failing to contribute in the two-nil defeat. He'd been decent value with seventy-three total points from four goals and two assists. The verdict? Sell this week. Everton face Arsenal in Gameweek seventeen, and Ndiaye won't be available. At six point four, there are better midfield options at similar price points who'll actually play. Consider downgrading to enable funds elsewhere or moving sideways to a Wilson or Gordon if you have the extra cash.
Differential picks under ten percent ownership. Mal Gusto at four point nine million pounds and just one point eight percent owned. The Chelsea right-back exploded for eighteen points against Everton with a goal, an assist, a clean sheet, and maximum bonus. That's six clean sheets, two goals, and two assists this season. Chelsea face Newcastle away, then Aston Villa at home in the next two. Gusto offers attacking threat from defence at bargain price.
Pedro Neto at seven point three million pounds with nine point three percent ownership. The Chelsea midfielder assisted against Everton for six points and now has five goals and three assists across the season. Eight clean sheets in sixteen appearances shows Chelsea's defensive improvement under Enzo Maresca. Neto's on penalties, plays advanced, and faces decent fixtures ahead.
Captaincy for Gameweek seventeen: Bruno Fernandes against Bournemouth at home on Monday night. The Man Utd midfielder is in sensational form, returning seven points per game recently, and faces a Bournemouth side that conceded three to Fulham. With eighty-five total points and four goals plus six assists already, Bruno offers ceiling and safety. One key tip: Don't sleep on Chelsea defenders. With eight clean sheets already and favourable fixtures, Gusto and Sanchez offer excellent value.
