Welcome to Who Got The Points! I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. We're breaking down the essential Gameweek Ten prep, cutting through the noise with transfers in, transfers out, differentials, and your captaincy pick. Gameweek Nine is done. Gameweek Ten deadline hits Saturday, first of November at half past one. Let's get to work. Rapid fire news bulletin. Eddie Nketiah picked up an injury in Palace's three nil win at Liverpool, which could thrust Jean-Philippe Mateta straight back into the starting lineup for Oliver Glasner. The Frenchman is flying into squads at seven point seven million pounds with over five hundred sixty thousand transfers in. Erling Haaland remains fit despite minor injury concerns from Pep Guardiola's press conference. The Norwegian is available and absolutely essential for Gameweek Ten. Rodrigo Bentancur bagged an assist against Newcastle, continuing his midfield resurgence for Spurs, though he remains under one percent owned. Raul Jimenez picked up an injury in the EFL Cup for Fulham, putting his Gameweek Ten availability in doubt. Monitor Marco Silva's team news closely. Finally, Bryan Mbeumo exploded with two goals in Gameweek Nine, rocketing his ownership to twenty three point six percent and his price to eight point two million pounds. He's now the must-have mid-priced midfielder. Top three transfers in. Number one, Bryan Mbeumo. Eight point two million pounds. Ownership surging to twenty three point six percent with nine hundred seventy eight thousand transfers in this week. The Man United midfielder scored twice against Bournemouth, racking up fifteen points with three bonus. He's hit fifty one points total across nine gameweeks. Ten expected points for Gameweek Ten shows the algorithm loves his fixture. Mbeumo has four goals and one assist this season, playing the full ninety every single week. Verdict? Essential. If you don't own him, you're behind the curve. He's fixture-proof, penalty-taker, and in red-hot form. Get him in before his price rises again. Number two, Jean-Philippe Mateta. Seven point seven million pounds. Ownership at seventeen point five percent with five hundred sixty one thousand managers jumping on. The Palace striker benefits directly from Nketiah's injury. Mateta has five goals this season, including a purple patch earlier in the campaign. Seven expected points for Gameweek Ten against Wolves at home is tasty. He plays the full ninety and gets into dangerous positions consistently. Verdict? Good buy for the next three gameweeks. Palace have kind fixtures, and Mateta is their focal point up front. Just be aware he can go quiet, but at this price with this fixture run, he's worth the risk. Number three, Jurrien Timber. Six point one million pounds. Ownership climbing to twenty three point nine percent with two hundred twenty eight thousand transfers in. The Arsenal defender has sixty points already, averaging six point seven per game. Five clean sheets, two goals, two assists in nine matches is elite output. Eight point seven expected points for Gameweek Ten against Newcastle shows confidence in Arsenal's defensive solidity under Mikel Arteta. Timber plays every minute as the inverted full-back in Arteta's system. Verdict? Essential. Arsenal have hit their defensive stride, and Timber offers attacking threat from deep. At six point one million pounds, he's a set-and-forget defender for the season. Top three transfers out. Number one, Mohammed Kudus. Six point eight million pounds. Ownership dropping from thirty two point seven percent with two hundred thirty thousand shipping him out. The Spurs midfielder blanked in Gameweek Nine with just three points despite playing seventy seven minutes. He has one goal and five assists this season but lacks the explosive ceiling you need at his price. Five point seven expected points for Gameweek Ten isn't inspiring. Verdict? Sell. Kudus is inconsistent, and there are better options at similar prices. Mbeumo, Semenyo, or even banking funds for a premium makes more sense. Move him on. Number two, Bukayo Saka. Ten million pounds. Ownership at sixteen point nine percent with forty five thousand selling. The Arsenal winger managed just three points in Gameweek Nine, playing sixty five minutes before being subbed. Two goals and zero assists across nine gameweeks is underwhelming for ten million pounds. Seven expected points for Gameweek Ten is decent but not explosive. Saka has thirty points total, averaging four point three per game. Verdict? Hold for now. Yes, he's underperforming, but Arsenal's fixtures turn favorable, and Saka remains their primary creative outlet. If you own him, give him one more week. If you don't, there are better ten million pound investments like Mohamed Salah when he returns. Number three, Donyell Malen. Five point one million pounds. Ownership at just zero point seven percent but still seeing six thousand transfers out. The Aston Villa midfielder played just four minutes in Gameweek Nine, managing one point. Two goals this season but inconsistent minutes under Unai Emery make him unreliable. Five point five expected points for Gameweek Ten means nothing if he's riding the bench. Verdict? Sell if you somehow own him. Malen is a trap. There are better budget midfielders who actually play. Don't waste a transfer, but if he's clogging your squad, move him out for an enabler who gets minutes. Differential picks. Under ten percent ownership only. First, Rodrigo Bentancur. Five point three million pounds, zero point three percent owned. The Spurs midfielder bagged eight points in Gameweek Nine with an assist and clean sheet, playing the full ninety. Eight expected points for Gameweek Ten shows the algorithm rates his involvement. One goal, one assist this season, but he's nailed in Thomas Frank's midfield. At five point three million pounds, he's a budget enabler who can deliver. Second, Bruno Guimaraes. Six point five million pounds, three point two percent owned. The Newcastle midfielder exploded for ten points in Gameweek Nine with a goal and three bonus. Three goals, one assist this season with forty two points total. Eight point seven expected points for Gameweek Ten against Arsenal is bold but shows his ceiling. He's on set pieces and dictates Newcastle's tempo. Third, Junior Kroupi. Four point six million pounds, three point five percent owned. The Bournemouth forward scored in Gameweek Nine, playing sixty eight minutes for six points. Four goals in six appearances is an incredible rate. Five point five expected points for Gameweek Ten shows he's becoming fixture-proof. At four point six million, he's the ultimate bench fodder who can start and haul. Captaincy pick. Bryan Mbeumo. Two goals last week, in scintillating form, and Man United's fixtures are strong. Ten expected points is the highest projection for Gameweek Ten. He's on penalties, playing every minute, and averaging over five points per game. If you're looking differential, Micky van de Ven after his two-goal explosion is tempting at eight point three percent ownership, but Mbeumo is the safer, smarter choice. One key tip for Gameweek Ten: don't panic sell your premiums after one blank. Players like Saka and Erling Haaland have proven over seasons that they deliver. Knee-jerk reactions cost ranks.
