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 FPL briefing. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes as we prepare for Gameweek twenty-five.
Let's hit the news bulletin. Arsenal defender Saliba picked up a minor knock in the four nil demolition of Leeds but is expected to be fine for Gameweek twenty-five against Sunderland. Leeds keeper Darlow conceded four and manager Daniel Farke may look at alternatives ahead of their tricky Friday night fixture against Nottingham Forest. Meanwhile, Aston Villa have completed the signings of Abraham and Luiz during the transfer window, giving manager Unai Emery fresh attacking options ahead of their trip to Bournemouth. Over at Chelsea, João Pedro came off the bench to deliver a goal and assist against West Ham despite only playing forty-five minutes, showing he's still a rotation risk under Liam Rosenior. Finally, Liverpool's Ekitike is hitting form at the perfect time with two goals against Newcastle, but faces a huge test against Manchester City on Sunday.
Right, let's talk transfers in. Top of the list is Scott from Bournemouth, priced at five point zero million pounds. He's seen nearly three thousand transfers in after an absolute masterclass in Gameweek twenty-four. Started and played the full ninety minutes against Wolves, scoring once, keeping a clean sheet, and bagging maximum bonus for thirteen points. That's exceptional value from a five million pound midfielder. Bournemouth face Aston Villa next, then Everton. With his current form at five point six and just zero point four percent ownership, he's flying completely under the radar. Verdict: Essential differential.
Next up, Enzo from Chelsea at six point eight million pounds. Nearly sixty thousand managers brought him in and he repaid them with eight points against West Ham. Started the full ninety, scored his eighth goal of the season, and picked up two bonus points. He's on one hundred and fourteen total points with a tasty fixture against Wolves coming up in Gameweek twenty-five. At nearly twenty percent ownership, he's becoming a popular pick. His expected points of six point eight for the next match shows the algorithm rates him highly. Verdict: Good buy for the short term.
Third transfer in is Gabriel from Arsenal, currently six point nine million pounds rising to seven million. Over twenty-three thousand managers jumped on him this week. The Arsenal defender kept his eleventh clean sheet of the season against Leeds, playing the full ninety for eight points. With one hundred and twenty-nine total points and Arsenal facing Sunderland at home, he's a premium defensive asset with real ceiling. Facing Sunderland, then Spurs, then Sunderland again in the cup makes him attractive. At thirty-nine percent ownership, he's becoming essential for Arsenal defensive coverage. Verdict: Essential.
Now the transfers out. Top of the sell list is Thiago from Brentford. Despite being seven point one million pounds and owned by over thirty-five percent of managers, he's hemorrhaging transfers. Nearly fifty thousand moved him out this week. His team hasn't played yet this gameweek, but the fixture swing is concerning. After Aston Villa on Sunday, Brentford face Newcastle, Arsenal, Brighton, and Burnley. That's a tough run. At that price point with sixteen goals already this season, some managers are cashing in. However, six point six expected points suggests he could still deliver. Verdict: Hold for now, but watch that fixture swing.
Second sell is João Pedro from Chelsea at seven point four million pounds. Yes, he scored ten points as a substitute against West Ham, but only played forty-five minutes. That's the issue. Over one hundred thousand brought him in, but nearly four thousand are already selling. Under Liam Rosenior, his minutes aren't guaranteed despite nine goals and five assists this season. Chelsea face Wolves next, then Leeds and Burnley, which are decent fixtures. But rotation risk at seven point four million is concerning. Verdict: Sell if you need the funds, otherwise monitor his starting status closely.
Third on the outs is Hall from Newcastle, five point three million pounds. Played eighty-eight minutes against Liverpool in a two nil defeat, picking up just three points. Newcastle's defense has been leaky, conceding twenty-one goals with Hall on the pitch. He faces Brentford next, then faces Manchester City and Spurs in the following gameweeks. At just two point nine percent ownership, he's not widely held anyway, but those who own him are moving on. Verdict: Sell.
Differential picks now. First up, Kroupi Junior from Bournemouth at four point seven million pounds and just five point seven percent owned. Scored his eighth goal of the season against Wolves, playing sixty-seven minutes for seven points including bonus. He's a budget enabler who's actually delivering. Bournemouth face Aston Villa, Everton, and West Ham next. At under five million, he's perfect for freeing up funds elsewhere.
Second differential is Scott again, because at zero point four percent ownership and five million pounds after a thirteen point haul, he deserves mentioning twice. Bournemouth's fixtures aren't amazing but his form is exceptional. If you need a fifth midfielder who actually plays and produces, he's your man.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-five? It has to be one of the Arsenal defenders against Sunderland at home. Gabriel is the standout. Arsenal kept a clean sheet against Leeds, Sunderland have struggled all season, and the bookies have Arsenal as massive favorites. If you want a differential captain, Ekitike against Manchester City is high risk but showed his quality with two goals.
One key tip: Don't panic sell João Pedro after one benching. He delivered when he came on. Monitor the team news before Gameweek twenty-five, but his underlying numbers are still strong.
