Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail Gameweek Eight. Chelsea sit second on the fixture ticker for the next five gameweeks, Liverpool's defense continues to struggle, and we've got some brilliant differentials emerging after Gameweek Seven's chaos. Let's dive straight in. First up, the rapid fire news bulletin. Moisés Caicedo is absolutely flying for Chelsea right now, starting and playing ninety minutes in Gameweek Seven, bagging a goal and three bonus points for ten points total. With Chelsea's excellent fixtures coming up, he's become a serious transfer target at five point eight million pounds. Antoine Semenyo continues his incredible form for Bournemouth, starting and playing the full ninety minutes again, scoring twice and assisting once for eighteen points in Gameweek Seven. He's now hauled in three of his last four appearances. Mohamed Salah managers are starting to panic. The Liverpool captain managed just two points despite playing ninety minutes, and Liverpool's attacking returns have been concerning all season. Finally, Donyell Malen exploded into life for Aston Villa, starting and playing eighty three minutes, scoring twice for fifteen points. At just zero point six percent ownership, he's a serious differential option. Now, let's talk transfers in. First up, Moisés Caicedo at five point eight million pounds. His ownership has jumped to fourteen point two percent after nearly three hundred thousand transfers in. He's scored three goals this season and sits on seven point five expected points for Gameweek Eight. With Chelsea's fixtures turning green and Enzo Maresca's side looking solid, Caicedo offers goals from midfield at a reasonable price. Verdict: Good buy for the next few gameweeks. Second transfer in is Antoine Semenyo at seven point nine million pounds. His ownership has rocketed to fifty nine point five percent, and rightly so. Six goals and three assists this season make him the most consistent midfielder outside the premium bracket. He's averaging nine point four points per game and has ten point eight expected points for Gameweek Eight. With Bournemouth's attacking threat under Andoni Iraola, he's essential for most squads. Verdict: Essential if you don't already own him. Third transfer in is Jurriën Timber at five point nine million pounds. The Arsenal defender has seventeen point eight percent ownership after nearly two hundred and fifty thousand transfers in. Two goals and two assists this season from defense, plus three clean sheets. He started and played ninety minutes in Gameweek Seven, assisting and keeping a clean sheet for eleven points. With Arsenal's defense finally looking stable under Mikel Arteta, he's a premium defender alternative. Verdict: Good buy for Arsenal coverage. Now for transfers out. First up, Mohamed Salah at fourteen point four million pounds. His ownership has dropped to thirty eight point seven percent after nearly four hundred thousand transfers out. Just two goals and two assists this season is shocking for his price point. Liverpool's attack under Arne Slot hasn't clicked yet, and at fourteen point four million pounds, he's eating up budget without delivering. His form rating of four point five tells the story. Verdict: Consider selling if you need funds elsewhere. Second transfer out is Virgil van Dijk at six point one million pounds. Twenty seven point nine percent ownership but over one hundred thousand transfers out this week. Liverpool's defense has been poor, conceding nine goals already this season. Just two clean sheets and zero attacking returns make him overpriced at six point one million pounds. His one point return in Gameweek Seven was deeply disappointing. Verdict: Sell for better defensive options. Third transfer out is Tijjani Reijnders at five point eight million pounds. Thirty three percent ownership but one hundred and eighteen thousand transfers out suggest managers are losing patience. Manchester City's midfielder has managed just one goal and two assists this season, and City's midfield rotation under Pep Guardiola makes him unreliable. His three point return in Gameweek Seven despite City winning shows his limitations. Verdict: Sell and upgrade elsewhere. Time for differentials under ten percent ownership. Donyell Malen at five point one million pounds with just zero point six percent ownership is the standout pick. Two goals in Gameweek Seven show he's finally settling at Aston Villa under Unai Emery. At such a low price, he's perfect bench fodder who could explode. Bruno Guimarães at six point five million pounds with two point one percent ownership offers Newcastle's set piece threat. One goal and one assist in Gameweek Seven for fourteen points shows his ceiling. Josh Cullen at five point zero million pounds with two percent ownership is Burnley's engine room under Scott Parker. One goal and one assist this season plus consistent minutes make him a solid budget option. For captaincy this week, Antoine Semenyo is the standout choice. Bournemouth face favorable opposition and his form is simply too good to ignore. Ten point eight expected points and three hauls in four games make him essential captain material. One key tip for Gameweek Eight: focus on Chelsea assets. They have the second best fixture run over the next five gameweeks, and Enzo Maresca's side are hitting their stride. Caicedo, Nicolas Jackson, and their defenders all offer value. Want to win your fantasy premier league mini leagues?
