Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL fix. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. We're looking ahead to Gameweek eleven with a special focus on defensive contribution points from Gameweek ten. We'll cover the top transfers in and out, differential picks, and your captaincy strategy. Let's dive in. First, the news bulletin. Cole Palmer is available for Chelsea after injury concerns were raised. Enzo Maresca confirmed he's fit to face Noah in the UEFA Champions League and should be good for Gameweek eleven. Pedro Neto picked up a minor knock but isn't expected to be out long term, though Chelsea managers should monitor updates closely. In other news, Iliman Ndiaye came off against Everton and there's been no serious injury update, but keep an eye on Regis Le Bris's pressers. Meanwhile, Justin Woltemade has been described as fatigued after his recent heavy minutes for Brighton, which could affect his minutes management going forward. On the positive side, budget midfielder Granit Xhaka at five point one million pounds continues to impress with strong underlying numbers and could be on your radar for midfield depth. Now, let's dive into today's special focus. Who scored the most defensive contribution points in Gameweek ten? It's Wednesday, so we're highlighting the top defensive performers, including goalkeepers, defenders, and even midfielders who racked up defensive stats. Starting with Declan Rice. The Arsenal midfielder at six point eight million pounds scored thirteen points in Gameweek ten. He started and played the full ninety minutes against Newcastle, scoring one goal and keeping a clean sheet. Rice earned three bonus points for his dominant display. With six clean sheets this season, two goals, and four assists, he's become a genuine FPL asset. His defensive contributions combined with attacking output make him a unique midfield option. Ownership sits at seventeen point one percent, and he gained over three hundred thousand transfers in this week. Verdict: Essential for those who can afford him. Next up, Moises Caicedo. The Chelsea midfielder at six point zero million pounds delivered ten points in Gameweek ten. He played ninety minutes, provided one assist, kept a clean sheet, and earned two bonus points. Caicedo now has three clean sheets, three goals, and one assist this season. His defensive stats are elite, and Chelsea's improving defense under Enzo Maresca makes him an interesting option. With twenty point five percent ownership and over two hundred sixty thousand transfers in, managers are taking notice. His price point offers excellent value for a midfielder who contributes both defensively and offensively. Verdict: Good option if you're building Chelsea coverage. Marc Guehi at Crystal Palace continues his stellar season. The defender costs five point zero million pounds and scored ten points in Gameweek ten. He played the full ninety minutes, kept a clean sheet, and earned two bonus points. Guehi now has four clean sheets, one goal, and three assists this season. His attacking threat from set pieces combined with Palace's improving defense makes him excellent value. Ownership has exploded to thirty-four point four percent with one hundred twenty-five thousand transfers in. Oliver Glasner's side has tightened up at the back, and Guehi is central to that. Verdict: Essential at this price point. Now let's talk about our top three transfers out. Starting with Micky Van de Ven. The Spurs defender at four point eight million pounds only scored two points in Gameweek ten despite playing ninety minutes. Thomas Frank's Tottenham conceded against Wolves, ending their clean sheet hopes. Van de Ven has four clean sheets and three goals this season, but Spurs' defensive inconsistency is concerning. With thirty-two point seven percent ownership, over seventy-three thousand brought him in, but forty-five thousand are selling. The fixtures turn difficult, and there are better defensive options available. Verdict: Hold if you have him, but don't buy now. Nordi Mukiele at Sunderland is another interesting case. At four point two million pounds, he scored just one point in Gameweek ten after playing ninety minutes in the draw with Everton. The budget defender has three clean sheets and one goal this season, but Sunderland's defensive numbers aren't elite. With five point five percent ownership and twenty-two thousand transfers in, he's popular as enabler fodder. However, there are questions about his nailed status long term. If you need budget defense, he works, but don't expect huge returns. Verdict: Hold if you need the cash elsewhere. Tyler Walker at Burnley rounds out our transfers out. The four point four million pound defender played ninety minutes but scored just one point as Burnley conceded again. With only two clean sheets all season and nineteen goals conceded, Burnley's defense is leaky. Walker has one assist but isn't providing attacking returns to compensate for the lack of clean sheets. Only one point six percent own him, and more are selling than buying. Scott Parker's side faces tough fixtures ahead. Verdict: Sell if you own him, plenty of better budget options exist. Time for differential picks under ten percent ownership. First, Carlos Gomez at Brighton. The midfielder costs four point nine million pounds and exploded for sixteen points in Gameweek ten. He scored two goals, kept a clean sheet, played eighty minutes, and earned maximum bonus. Gomez has only point two percent ownership, making him an elite differential. He's playing higher up the pitch recently and Brighton's fixtures are favorable. At his price, he's an incredible value pick if Fabian Hurzeler keeps starting him. The risk is minutes, but the upside is massive. Second differential is Matty O'Reilly at Manchester City. The four point nine million pound defender scored eight points in Gameweek ten. He played ninety minutes, scored one goal, and now has four clean sheets this season. With just one point one percent ownership, O'Reilly offers City defensive coverage at a budget price. Pep Guardiola has been rotating, but O'Reilly is starting to nail down his spot. One goal and one assist this season show he can contribute going forward too. City's fixtures improve, making him an intriguing differential. Our captaincy pick for Gameweek eleven is straightforward. With Liverpool facing Aston Villa at home and Mohamed Salah in sensational form, he's the safe captain choice. However, if you want a differential captain, consider Erling Haaland against Wolves. Manchester City need to bounce back, and Wolves' defense has been vulnerable. One key tip: don't overlook midfielders with defensive contributions. As we've seen this week, players like Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo can deliver huge points through clean sheets, tackles, interceptions, and bonus points while also chipping in with goals and assists. They're essentially defenders who play in midfield positions, giving you the best of both worlds. This dual threat makes them essential for building balanced squads.
