Welcome to Who Got The Points, the daily FPL fix that gets straight to business. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. With Gameweek Twenty wrapping up this weekend and a crucial midweek Gameweek Twenty One deadline hitting Tuesday evening, we're talking transfers, differentials, and the moves you need to make right now. Let's go.
First up, the rapid fire news bulletin. Declan Rice just silenced his doubters with a massive seventeen point haul against Bournemouth, scoring twice in Arsenal's three two victory. This comes after he was the most sold midfielder going into Gameweek Twenty, with over twenty three thousand managers shipping him out. That's going to sting. Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka was benched for that same match, raising questions about rotation ahead of the Liverpool clash on Thursday. Bruno Fernandes is now listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury, just twenty five percent chance of playing according to official sources. With Manchester United facing Leeds today and Burnley in Gameweek Twenty One, this is a major concern for his eleven point seven percent ownership. Finally, keep an eye on Yankuba Minteh at Brighton. He didn't feature in the squad against Burnley despite being available, which could signal tactical changes under Fabian Hurzeler ahead of their trip to Manchester City on Wednesday.
Now let's get into the big transfer moves. Top three transfers in, starting with Gabriel at Arsenal. Priced at six point six million pounds, his ownership has exploded to twenty three point nine percent with one hundred and sixty seven thousand transfers in. Gabriel just scored in the Bournemouth win, banking nine points, and has now delivered one hundred and six total points this season with eight clean sheets and three goals. Arsenal face Liverpool on Thursday in what's shaping up to be a title decider, then Nottingham Forest in Gameweek Twenty Two. With his goal threat from set pieces and Arsenal's defensive solidity, Gabriel offers premium defender points at a reasonable price. Verdict? Essential. If you don't own Arsenal defense, Gabriel is your man.
Next, Matheus Nunes at Manchester City. Just five point four million pounds with only three point two percent ownership, but fourteen thousand managers brought him in this week. Nunes has quietly accumulated ninety one total points with seven clean sheets and four assists. His expected points for the upcoming fixture is seven point two, joint highest among City assets. With Pep Guardiola's side facing Brighton at home on Wednesday and then the Manchester Derby in Gameweek Twenty Two, City are hitting form at the right time. Nunes offers attacking returns from a defensive position, making him incredible value. Verdict? Good move if you need a City route. Just watch for Guardiola's rotation roulette.
Third transfer in is Rayan Cherki at Manchester City. Six point eight million pounds, fifteen point four percent owned, and thirty four thousand transfers in. Cherki has seventy one points including eight assists, making him one of the league's top creators. He's classified as a midfielder but plays advanced under Guardiola. Expected points of seven point two for the Brighton fixture, and with City's fixtures turning favorable after a tough December, Cherki could be the differential that separates you from the pack. Verdict? Essential for those without Haaland or Foden. He's City's creative hub and at this price, he's a steal.
Flip side, top three transfers out. First up, Hugo Ekitike at Liverpool. Nine point one million pounds, still thirty five point seven percent owned, but twenty six thousand shipped him out this week. Liverpool face Fulham today then Arsenal on Thursday in a massive top of the table clash. Ekitike has eight goals and eighty four total points, but his recent form has dipped to seven point zero. More importantly, at nine point one million, you can downgrade to fund moves elsewhere or upgrade to a premium striker. With question marks over Liverpool's fixture congestion and Arne Slot managing minutes, Ekitike feels like a luxury right now. Verdict? Hold if you own him. Liverpool's fixtures improve after Arsenal, and he's too expensive to just drop without a plan.
Second transfer out, Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United. Nine point one million pounds, eleven point seven percent owned, and fifteen thousand transferred out. The hamstring injury is the killer here. Just twenty five percent chance of playing according to official channels, and even if he does feature against Leeds today, will he be risked midweek against Burnley? Fernandes has ninety nine points with five goals and seven assists, but at his price point and injury status, he's a massive risk. Manchester United's form under Ruben Amorim has been inconsistent, and with better options at this price, it's hard to justify holding. Verdict? Sell. Get him out for Rice, Saka when fit, or bank the funds.
Third transfer out, surprisingly, Martin Odegaard at Arsenal. Seven point eight million pounds with just two point four percent ownership, so not widely held, but two thousand three hundred transferred out this week. Odegaard picked up six points with an assist against Bournemouth, playing seventy nine minutes, so he's clearly back in the fold. He has forty four total points in a limited sample, just one goal and three assists. At seven point eight million, you're paying for pedigree, but Arsenal have better options. Rice is cheaper and scoring more, Saka is their main attacking outlet, and Gabriel offers defensive points with goal threat. Odegaard is a luxury midfielder in a team with better value picks. Verdict? Keep if you own, but don't buy. There are better Arsenal routes.
Differential picks time. Three names under ten percent ownership that could explode. First, James Tarkowski at Everton. Five point six million pounds, eleven percent owned but twenty nine thousand transferred in this week. Tarkowski has ninety four points with eight clean sheets, rock solid at the back under David Moyes. Everton face Wolves on Wednesday then Aston Villa next weekend. Their defensive organization has been excellent, and Tarkowski is on corners, offering attacking threat. At five point six million, he's set and forget material.
Second differential, Keane Lewis Potter at Brentford. Four point nine million pounds, just two point four percent owned. Lewis Potter plays as a wing back under Keith Andrews, offering both defensive and attacking potential. Fifty nine points with two goals and one assist, playing out of position classification gives him a points ceiling most defenders can't match. Brentford face Sunderland on Wednesday then Chelsea, and Lewis Potter's low ownership makes him a proper differential. Seven thousand transfers in suggest managers are catching on.
Third differential, Nordi Mukiele at Sunderland. Four point three million pounds, eight point three percent owned. Eighty five points with six clean sheets makes him one of the best budget defenders in the game. Sunderland's defensive record under Regis Le Bris has been impressive, and at four point three million, Mukiele frees up funds across your squad. Twenty three thousand transfers in this week. He's approaching template status, so jump on now before his price rises again.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek Twenty One? Declan Rice. Seven point one million pounds with a massive seventeen point haul in Gameweek Twenty, he's now the form midfielder in the game. Arsenal face Liverpool on Thursday in a fixture that could define the title race, and Rice is their engine room. Four goals and seven assists this season, one hundred and nineteen total points. Captaining a midfielder is bold, but Rice is on penalties, long shots, and everything goes through him. If you want safer, Gabriel for the armband if Arsenal keep a clean sheet. But Rice offers explosive potential.
One key tip to finish. Don't panic sell your Liverpool assets ahead of the Arsenal game. Yes, it's tough, but their fixtures after Thursday are golden. Bournemouth, Burnley, Newcastle in the next five. If you own Ekitike, hold. If you own Salah who we haven't even discussed yet, definitely hold. One bad fixture doesn't warrant a minus four. Play the long game.
