Welcome to the FPL AI Briefing! As we head into the final gameweek of the season, there's plenty to discuss with some fascinating developments over the weekend. Let's dive straight into the latest news and analysis that could make or break your fantasy season.
Starting with the breaking news - Alexander Isak is a major doubt for Newcastle's final game against Everton after picking up a groin injury. The Swedish striker, who is owned by nearly fifty-seven percent of managers, has been given just a seventy-five percent chance of featuring. This comes at a crucial time as many were looking to him as a captaincy option.
In other news, Jamie Vardy rolled back the years by scoring his two-hundredth Leicester City goal in their two-nil victory over Ipswich. The veteran striker, who is thirty-seven years old, could be an interesting differential for the final gameweek against Bournemouth, owned by just six point two percent of managers.
Bryan Mbeumo endured a frustrating evening despite Brentford's entertaining three-two defeat to Fulham. The midfielder, owned by forty-seven percent of teams, picked up five points but managers were hoping for more given the fixture.
Over at Goodison Park, Everton bid farewell to their historic home ground with Iliman Ndiaye stealing the show, scoring twice in a two-nil victory over Southampton. At just one point one percent ownership, he could be a shrewd differential pick for their final game.
Let's analyze some of the key players for Gameweek thirty-eight. Mohamed Salah remains the highest-owned premium asset at sixty-seven percent ownership. Despite blanking this weekend, his home fixture against Crystal Palace makes him a strong captaincy option, with predicted points of six point seven seven.
Bryan Mbeumo faces Wolves away and continues to offer excellent value at eight point three million pounds. His ownership remains high but his underlying statistics suggest another return could be coming, with predicted points of five point zero six.
Ollie Watkins has seen significant transfer interest with over thirty-seven thousand managers bringing him in this week. At nine point one million pounds and twenty-five point seven percent ownership, his away fixture against Manchester United could be tricky, but his form can't be ignored.
For those looking for differentials, Chris Wood of Nottingham Forest is interesting at just thirty-one percent ownership. He faces Chelsea at home and has averaged five point seven points per game this season.
Looking at the defense, Ezri Konsa offers tremendous value at just four point four million pounds. With only eight point four percent ownership, his attacking threat from set-pieces makes him an excellent differential option.
David Raya continues to be the preferred premium goalkeeper choice at thirty point eight percent ownership. Arsenal's fixture against Southampton looks promising for a clean sheet.
In terms of transfer trends, we're seeing massive movement away from Isak due to his injury concerns, with over fifty-one thousand managers selling. Meanwhile, Palmer has seen significant interest despite Chelsea's inconsistent form, with predicted points of five point two two against Nottingham Forest.
Some interesting differentials for the final gameweek include Raúl Jiménez, owned by just four point nine percent of teams, who has been in good form despite a tough fixture against Manchester City. Morgan Gibbs-White, at seven percent ownership, could be an excellent midfield option against Chelsea.
For those still holding chips, this is your last chance to use them. If you have your Free Hit or Wildcard remaining, don't let it go to waste. The final gameweek often brings surprises, so having flexibility in your squad could be crucial.
