Hello and welcome back to Who Got The Points, your daily fantasy football briefing. I'm Archer and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to maximise your Gameweek seven points and prepare for the weeks ahead. Let's dive straight into today's essential updates. First up, Mohamed Salah owners are facing serious questions after managing just two points against Chelsea. The fourteen point four million pound asset has now blanked in back-to-back games, with over one hundred and twenty thousand managers already shipping him out. Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed Salah was fit but struggled to find space against Chelsea's defensive structure. Next, injury concerns are mounting at Arsenal with Martin Odegaard's fitness still uncertain after missing the West Ham clash. However, the positive news is Bukayo Saka took penalty duties and converted confidently, adding another string to his fantasy bow. Finally, there's a major talking point around Richarlison after Thomas Frank benched him for the Leeds match. The Brazilian has now started just three of Tottenham's seven league games this season, raising serious questions about his seven point three million pound price tag. Now let's move to our top three transfers in for this week. First up, Benjamin Sesko at seven point three million pounds and four point nine percent ownership. The Manchester United striker finally delivered with nine points against Brighton, scoring his first Premier League goal and claiming maximum bonus points. With United's fixtures improving and Ruben Amorim settling into his tactical approach, Sesko offers genuine differential potential at under five percent ownership. Verdict, good value if you need a United attacker. Our second transfer target is Marc Guehi at four point eight million pounds. The Crystal Palace defender has been fantasy gold this season, averaging seven point two points per game and rising in price three times already. Oliver Glasner's defensive structure has Palace keeping clean sheets regularly, and at thirty point four percent ownership, Guehi remains essential for most squads. Verdict, essential if you don't already own him. Finally, Anthony Gordon at five point seven million pounds is attracting over fifty thousand transfers in despite blanking in Gameweek seven. The Burnley winger has been incredibly consistent under Scott Parker, delivering six point seven points per game and rising two price increments. His underlying stats remain excellent with consistent attacking threat. Verdict, good option for those seeking Burnley coverage. Now for our top three transfers out starting with Mohamed Salah. At fourteen point four million pounds and dropping ownership, the Liverpool superstar is hemorrhaging managers after consecutive blanks. His expected points remain decent at five point five for next week, but the premium price tag demands more consistent returns. With so many cheaper alternatives performing well, Salah's stranglehold on fantasy teams is weakening. Verdict, consider selling if you need funds elsewhere. Van de Ven at four point eight million pounds represents another concern. The Tottenham defender managed just two points against Leeds and has been inconsistent defensively all season. Thomas Frank's tactical tweaks haven't solved Spurs' defensive frailties, and Van de Ven's attacking returns have dried up completely. With thirty-four point four percent ownership, many are reconsidering his place in their squads. Verdict, hold for now but monitor closely. Our final transfer out candidate is Yankuba Minteh at six million pounds. The Brighton midfielder was completely benched in Gameweek seven, managing zero points and raising rotation concerns under Fabian Hurzeler. Despite solid underlying numbers, his game time isn't guaranteed and there are better value options available in his price range. Verdict, sell if you need the funds for more reliable assets. For differential picks under ten percent ownership, Noah Okafor caught the eye with eight points for Leeds including a goal and two bonus points. At five point five million pounds and just zero point one percent ownership, he offers massive differential potential if Daniel Farke continues trusting him in advanced positions. Ryan Sessegnon also delivered nine points for Fulham with a goal and bonus points at just zero point one percent ownership. At five point four million pounds, he provides cheap access to Marco Silva's improving attack. Finally, Martin Zubimendi at five point five million pounds for Arsenal represents excellent value at four point five percent ownership, offering defensive stability and set piece threat under Mikel Arteta. For captaincy this week, despite his recent struggles, Mohamed Salah remains the safest pick against Nottingham Forest's leaky defense. His five point five expected points and Liverpool's need to bounce back make him the logical choice for most managers. One key tip for this week, monitor Richarlison's status closely ahead of Thursday's deadline, as any indication of a starting role could make him an excellent differential at low ownership.
