⚽ Who Got The Points? - Daily Premier League Football Insights

The Gameweek 31 deadline hits tonight at 6:30pm and there's no time to waste — this episode of Who Got The Points? gives you everything you need to make the right calls before the window slams shut. First, the big news: both Manchester City and Crystal Palace are blank in Gameweek 31, meaning players like Rice and Sarr are must-sells. Arsenal are also without a fixture this gameweek, making Rice — despite his 24.5% ownership — a near-automatic transfer out with over 281,000 managers already moving him on. On the transfer in side, Bruno Fernandes is the hottest name in the game after two assists and 10 points in Gameweek 30. With 180,000+ managers bringing him in and an expected points tally of 8.7, he's the essential acquisition and the standout captaincy pick for GW31. Bournemouth's Senesi is another essential add — 10 points last week, nine clean sheets on the season, and just £5.1m. Fulham's Wilson also makes the transfers-in list as a reliable mid-price midfielder with 17 goal contributions. In the differentials section, Mac Allister stands out with just 2.6% ownership and 8.5 expected points against Brighton, while Garner and budget keeper Hermansen offer smart, low-owned options. Ekitiké's minutes concern is flagged — watch the team news closely. Act fast, the deadline is tonight. Visit whogotthepoints.com for more FPL insights and analysis.

What is ⚽ Who Got The Points? - Daily Premier League Football Insights?

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 your Gameweek thirty one transfers before tonight's deadline at six thirty.

Right, let's get into the news. First up, and this is massive — Manchester City and Crystal Palace have both been confirmed as blank in Gameweek thirty one. Neither side has a fixture this weekend. If you've got players from either club, you need to act fast. That deadline tonight is not forgiving.

Second, B.Fernandes was absolutely electric in Gameweek thirty, picking up two assists in Man Utd's three one win over Aston Villa. He's now the hottest transfer in the game with over one hundred and eighty thousand managers bringing him in this week alone. Man Utd travel to Bournemouth on Friday night — that's tonight — so if you're getting him in, get it done now.

Third, Ekitiké only came on as a substitute in Liverpool's one all draw with Spurs, playing just twenty six minutes. With Brighton up next for Liverpool in Gameweek thirty one, his minutes concern is real. Keep an eye on team news.

Fourth, Senesi delivered a stunning Gameweek thirty — clean sheet, two bonus points, ten points total for Bournemouth against Burnley. He's now pulled in nearly one hundred and forty six thousand transfers in this week.

And fifth — no blanks for Arsenal. Rice and Saka only managed three points each in the two nil win over Everton. Arsenal have no Gameweek thirty one fixture either — check your squads carefully.

Now let's get into the transfers.

Transfer number one to bring in — B.Fernandes. He's ten point two million pounds, owned by forty four point five percent of managers, and gaining fast. Two assists and ten points in Gameweek thirty. He's averaging eight point two form with sixteen assists on the season — nobody in midfield is creating like him right now. Man Utd host Bournemouth tonight and have Leeds in Gameweek thirty two. The expected points for Gameweek thirty one are eight point seven. Verdict: Essential. Get him in before the deadline.

Transfer number two — Senesi. Five point one million pounds, owned by twenty point four percent and rising. Ten points in Gameweek thirty, nine clean sheets on the season, and four assists. Bournemouth face Man Utd tonight at home, and the fixture run ahead looks decent. He's expected to score seven points in Gameweek thirty one. At that price, he is one of the best value defenders in the game. Verdict: Essential if you haven't got him already.

Transfer number three — Wilson. Six million pounds, owned by twenty four point nine percent, and one hundred and sixty three thousand transfers in this week. He has nine goals and eight assists on the season — that's a seventeen goal contribution return for a six million pound midfielder. Fulham host Burnley on Saturday in what looks a very favourable matchup. Expected points six point three. Verdict: Good. Strong pick if you need a mid-price midfielder.

Now for the transfers out.

First sell — Rice. Seven point three million pounds, twenty four point five percent ownership, and over two hundred and eighty one thousand managers are already shipping him out this week. And with good reason. Arsenal have NO fixture in Gameweek thirty one. Zero expected points. He only picked up three points in Gameweek thirty despite the clean sheet. With Arsenal blanking, this is a straightforward call. Verdict: Sell unless you have a free transfer to spare.

Second sell — Sarr. Six point three million pounds, three point seven percent ownership, and forty thousand transfers out this week. Crystal Palace are blank in Gameweek thirty one. Three points in Gameweek thirty, and with no fixture coming up, there is no reason to hold. Verdict: Sell.

Third — Ekitiké. Nine point two million pounds, thirty six point seven percent ownership. He only played twenty six minutes against Spurs and delivered just one point. Liverpool face Brighton in Gameweek thirty one — a tricky fixture. His form sits at five point zero and expected points are five point five. The minutes concern is real. If you have a premium forward option elsewhere, this might be the time to reassess. Verdict: Hold for now, but watch the team news closely. If he doesn't start against Brighton, the conversation changes.

Differential picks for Gameweek thirty one — these are under ten percent ownership, so proper differentials.

First up — Mac Allister. Six point three million pounds, just two point six percent ownership. He bagged an assist and eight points in Gameweek thirty against Spurs. Liverpool travel to Brighton on Saturday, and Mac Allister is registering attacking returns from central midfield. Eight point five expected points for Gameweek thirty one — that's seriously impressive for someone barely owned. At his price, he is a genuine differential gem.

Second differential — Garner. Five point two million pounds, four percent ownership. He has ten clean sheets on the season, five assists, and has been a consistent points scorer for Everton all campaign. Everton host Chelsea on Saturday in what could be a tight, competitive game. Expected points of five point zero and still going largely under the radar. A savvy budget pick.

Third differential — Hermansen. Four point two million pounds, just zero point five percent ownership. West Ham host Aston Villa on Sunday. He made thirty three saves on the season and has been solid recently with a form rating of five point five. Five point five expected points. At under half a million percent owned, if you need a budget goalkeeper rotation option or a streamer, he's worth a look.

Captaincy pick for Gameweek thirty one — it has to be B.Fernandes. Man Utd versus Bournemouth, eight point seven expected points, sixteen assists on the season, and he's in red hot form averaging eight point two over recent weeks. He's the standout armband choice.

Key tip — do not forget the blanks. Manchester City and Crystal Palace are both sitting out Gameweek thirty one. Get those players out and reinvest into fixtures. With the deadline tonight at six thirty, time is tight. Act now.
