Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek twenty-six is done and dusted, and we're looking ahead to Gameweek twenty-seven with the deadline hitting Saturday at half past one. We've got Palmer finding form, João Pedro continuing his essential run, Liverpool defenders delivering, and some crucial transfer targets to discuss. Let's dive in. First up, the rapid-fire news bulletin. Saka started in the number ten role for Arsenal in their two-two draw with Wolves in Gameweek twenty-six, giving us a tactical insight ahead of the North London derby on Sunday. Mikel Arteta is mixing things up, which could affect attacking returns. Next, Spurs have undergone a managerial change with Igor Tudor replacing Thomas Frank as head coach. The Croatian brings a fresh approach, and historically, new manager bounces can shake up FPL assets. Keep an eye on how Spurs' attacking players adapt. Finally, Martinez has emerged as a differential goalkeeper option, keeping a clean sheet against Brighton and collecting eight points with bonus included. With Villa's decent fixtures, he's worth considering at five million pounds. Right, let's get to the transfers. Top three players to bring in for Gameweek twenty-seven. Number one: João Pedro. Seven point seven million pounds, ownership has rocketed to forty-six point one percent. He's scored ten goals this season with eight assists, and in Gameweek twenty-six, he delivered again with a goal and an assist against Leeds, picking up ten points. Chelsea face Burnley at home in Gameweek twenty-seven, one of the best fixtures you could ask for. With eleven expected points, he's absolutely firing on all cylinders. Verdict: essential. If you don't own him, you're already behind the curve. Number two: Palmer. Ten point six million pounds, fifteen point six percent ownership. The Chelsea midfielder grabbed a goal and an assist in that Leeds game, collecting twelve points with three bonus. He's got eight goals and two assists this season, averaging five point three points per game. Against Burnley at home, he's projected for nine point five expected points. Palmer's form rating of eight point five shows he's hitting his stride under Liam Rosenior. Verdict: buy. He's expensive but Chelsea's fixtures are strong, and he's their main creative outlet. Number three: Virgil. Five point nine million pounds, twenty-two percent owned. The Liverpool defender scored against Sunderland in Gameweek twenty-six, grabbing seventeen points with three bonus. That's two goals this season now, plus eight clean sheets from his available games. With eight expected points for the trip to Nottingham Forest, he's a defensive powerhouse. Liverpool's backline is solid under Arne Slot, conceding just thirty-five goals this season. Verdict: good buy. Premium defender pricing but delivering premium returns consistently. Now, top three transfers out. Number one: O'Reilly. Four point nine million pounds, four point eight percent ownership. Yes, he scored against Fulham and got thirteen points, but that's his second goal of the season and he's primarily a rotation risk at City. Pep Guardiola rotates defenders constantly, and with City facing Newcastle next, that's a tough fixture against Eddie Howe's in-form attack. His expected points drop to six for Gameweek twenty-seven. Verdict: sell if you need funds. That thirteen-pointer might be your best exit point. Number two: Anderson from Nottingham Forest. Five point four million pounds, five point nine percent owned. He's got just one goal and three assists all season, averaging four point three points per game. Forest face Liverpool at home in Gameweek twenty-seven, a fixture where clean sheet probability is low. His expected points are down to four point seven. With sixteen thousand transfers out already, managers are losing faith. Verdict: sell. Downgrade to free up funds for premium attackers. Number three: Estêvão. Six point four million pounds, two point four percent ownership. The Chelsea midfielder has struggled for minutes, playing just sixty-three in Gameweek twenty-six. Two goals and five assists across the season sounds decent, but he's averaging under three points per game. He's a rotation risk even with decent fixtures. Over eleven thousand have already moved him out. Verdict: sell. Chelsea have better options, stick with Palmer or João Pedro instead. Differential picks time. Under ten percent ownership only. First up: Martinez. Five million pounds, four point one percent owned. Eight points in Gameweek twenty-six with that clean sheet and two bonus against Brighton. He's kept six clean sheets this season with sixty-five saves, and Villa face Leeds at home in Gameweek twenty-seven. Differential goalkeepers can be league winners. Second differential: M Fernandes from West Ham. Five point five million pounds, just zero point four percent owned. Three goals and three assists this season, playing the full ninety minutes consistently. West Ham host Bournemouth in Gameweek twenty-seven, and at that ownership, if he hauls, you gain massive ground. Third: Hincapie from Arsenal. Five point one million pounds, zero point six percent owned. Across both Gameweek twenty-six matches, he played one hundred and seventy minutes, scored one, assisted one, and collected fifteen points total with three bonus. Arsenal face Spurs away, a fixture where defenders can grab attacking returns. At that price and ownership, he's a massive differential for the North London derby. Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-seven: João Pedro is the obvious choice against Burnley at home. Eleven expected points, forty-six percent ownership means he's the safe captain. But if you want a differential armband, Palmer offers similar upside with lower ownership. One key tip: don't knee-jerk on that Virgil haul. Liverpool's fixtures remain strong through Gameweek thirty, so if you're bringing him in, plan to keep him for the long haul. Want to win your fantasy Premier League mini leagues?
