Your daily dose of Premier League insights - powered by data, driven by AI. From top transfer tips to captain picks, we break it all down in under 10 minutes.
Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail Gameweek thirty-six. Transfers, differentials, and your captain pick — let's get into it.
Right, here's your rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, Gibbs-White and Sanchez are both injury concerns for Nottingham Forest ahead of Gameweek thirty-six. Forest host Newcastle on Sunday, so keep a close eye on team news before that deadline. Second, there are injury questions surrounding Havertz, Odegaard, and Timber at Arsenal. Arsenal face West Ham away on Sunday and those absences could significantly impact their attacking output. Third, Rodri was absent for Man City in the Everton draw, and with Man City playing twice in Gameweek thirty-six — against Brentford and Crystal Palace — his fitness is massive for City assets. Fourth, Muñoz only played forty-five minutes in Crystal Palace's three-nil defeat to Bournemouth. He's been coming off at half time and that rotation concern is real — check his status carefully. Fifth, Forest made eight changes against Chelsea, which is rotation heavy, but they won three-one regardless. With Forest playing Man City's second double fixture opponent Crystal Palace in Gameweek thirty-six, assess their first-team lineup carefully.
Now let's get into transfers. Here are your top three ins for Gameweek thirty-six.
First up — Doku from Man City. Six point four million pounds, three point one percent ownership, and he just bagged fifteen points in Gameweek thirty-five with two goals and three bonus points. Here's the big one though — Man City have TWO fixtures in Gameweek thirty-six. They face Brentford on Saturday and Crystal Palace midweek on Wednesday the thirteenth of May. Doku's expected points for Gameweek thirty-six sit at a massive sixteen point six. He has four goals and eight assists this season, and with a form rating of seven point eight, he is absolutely flying right now. Over fifty-two thousand managers have already transferred him in this gameweek. Verdict: Essential. Get him in before the deadline on Saturday.
Second in — Lacroix from Crystal Palace. Five point two million pounds, six point five percent ownership. Over fifty-seven thousand transfers in this gameweek. He played the full ninety in Gameweek thirty-five and has kept eleven clean sheets this season — the most of any defender in our data. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-six are nine point five, with Crystal Palace playing twice — away at Everton on Sunday and at home to Man City on Wednesday. At five point two million, he is outstanding value. Verdict: Good buy. Sneak him in if you have the budget.
Third in — Szoboszlai from Liverpool. Seven million pounds, twelve point three percent ownership. He scored a goal and grabbed an assist in Gameweek thirty-five for thirteen points, with three bonus points on top. Liverpool face Chelsea at home in Gameweek thirty-six, which is a juicy fixture. He has six goals and five assists this season, averaging four point five points per game. Over thirty-three thousand transfers in this week. Verdict: Good buy if you want a Liverpool midfielder with attacking returns.
Now your top three transfers out.
First out — Wirtz from Liverpool. Eight point three million pounds, nine percent ownership. He blanked with just two points in Gameweek thirty-five, playing the full ninety with zero goal involvement. Over fourteen thousand transfers out already this week. He has five goals and four assists this season, but his form has dipped to four point five, and at eight point three million he is overpriced for current output. Liverpool face Chelsea in Gameweek thirty-six and that fixture is not guaranteed returns. Verdict: Sell. Funds raised could upgrade elsewhere, particularly toward a Man City double-gameweek asset.
Second out — Muñoz from Crystal Palace. Five point nine million pounds, nine point three percent ownership. He only lasted forty-five minutes against Bournemouth in Gameweek thirty-five. Over fifty-three thousand transfers IN this week, which seems bold given the rotation risk. He faces Everton and Man City in the double gameweek, but if he doesn't play the full matches, those returns are capped. Verdict: Hold with caution. If you already own him, monitor team news, but don't buy if you don't have him.
Third out — O'Reilly from Man City. Five point two million pounds, eighteen point five percent ownership. He picked up just one point in Gameweek thirty-five as Man City drew three-three with Everton and kept no clean sheet. Despite having a massive expected points of fifteen for Gameweek thirty-six because of the double, without Rodri in midfield City look vulnerable defensively. Nearly one hundred thousand transfers in this week though, so massive template pressure to hold. Verdict: Hold for the double gameweek upside, but don't be shocked if the clean sheets don't come.
Now let's talk differentials — players under ten percent ownership who could seriously haul.
First differential — Doku is already covered, so let's highlight Casemiro from Man Utd. Five point eight million pounds, four point eight percent ownership. He has nine goals and four assists this season, averaging five points per game — the highest of any player in our data. Man Utd face Sunderland away in Gameweek thirty-six and his expected points are eight. He only got four points this week with no goal involvement, but his season-long record is phenomenal. If you need a budget midfielder with big ceiling, Casemiro is worth a look.
Second differential — Rayan from Bournemouth. Five point four million pounds, just one point four percent ownership. He scored and kept a clean sheet in Gameweek thirty-five for eight points. Bournemouth travel to Fulham in Gameweek thirty-six — a fixture rated difficulty three for both sides. He has four goals and two assists this season and at five point four million, he is an absolute budget gem if you need midfield cover. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-six are five point two.
Third differential — Donnarumma in goal for Man City. Five point six million pounds, nine point two percent ownership. With Man City playing twice in Gameweek thirty-six, he has expected points of nine and has thirteen clean sheets this season. If City tighten up defensively, a double-gameweek goalkeeper haul is on the cards. Seventy-two saves this season shows he works hard too.
Captaincy pick and one key tip. Your captain this week is Doku. Man City double gameweek, sixteen point six expected points, two goals last time out — the numbers don't lie. If you own him, he is your armband. If you don't, seriously consider it.
Key tip for Gameweek thirty-six: this is a partial double gameweek with Man City and Crystal Palace both playing twice. Prioritise assets from those teams where possible. The deadline is Saturday the ninth of May at ten in the morning, so don't sleep on this one.
