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.
Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL briefing. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, we're cutting through the noise to give you exactly what you need for Gameweek twenty-three. No fluff, just actionable insights. Let's dive in.
Gameweek twenty-two delivered some shocks. Man United beat Man City two nil, West Ham stunned Spurs two one, and Everton grabbed a vital one nil win at Villa. But we're not dwelling on the past. The Gameweek twenty-three deadline is Saturday at eleven AM, and there's work to do.
Here's your rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, injury concerns. Tavernier picked up a knock in Monday's game and is being assessed. Monitor the team news closely if you own him. Second, Salah is back from AFCON along with thirteen other players, which completely reshapes the Liverpool attack for their trip to Bournemouth. Third, Man City have a favorable home fixture against Wolves, and with Pep Guardiola's side needing to bounce back after that derby defeat, expect rotation clarity in Friday's press conference. That's your breaking news sorted.
Now, your top three transfers in. These are the players flooding into FPL squads right now.
Number one: Wirtz from Liverpool. Eight point three million pounds, ownership jumping to twelve point three percent with over eighty-four thousand transfers in. This midfielder started and played the full ninety minutes against Burnley, scoring once and picking up three bonus points for a ten-point haul. He's got three goals and two assists this season already. Liverpool face Bournemouth away, a team conceding at both ends, and Wirtz is clearly trusted by Arne Slot. Seven point seven expected points for Gameweek twenty-three. Verdict: Good option. He's showing attacking threat and Liverpool's fixtures are decent, but watch for Salah's return potentially affecting his minutes.
Number two: Mukiele from Sunderland. Four point four million pounds, eleven point four percent owned, and seventy-five thousand transfers in make this the budget enabler everyone's chasing. He's a defender with four price rises already this season, and in Gameweek twenty-two he assisted and played ninety minutes for six points. Six clean sheets this season plus three assists give him serious value. Sunderland face West Ham away, then Burnley at home in Gameweek twenty-four, and Arsenal in Gameweek twenty-five. Five point six expected points. Verdict: Essential if you need budget cash. At four point four million, he's freeing up funds across the board and actually contributing points. Absolute no-brainer.
Number three: Pickford from Everton. Five point six million pounds, thirteen percent owned, twenty-five thousand transfers in. The Everton keeper grabbed ten points in Gameweek twenty-two with a clean sheet at Villa plus three bonus points. Nine clean sheets this season with sixty-two saves. Under David Moyes, Everton's defensive structure is improving. They face Leeds at home on Monday, then Brighton away and Bournemouth at home. Six expected points for Gameweek twenty-three. Verdict: Essential for goalkeepers. Everton's fixtures are kind, Moyes has them organized, and at five point six million, Pickford offers premium returns at mid-price. Lock him in.
Your top three transfers out. Players FPL managers are dumping.
Number one: Cunha from Man United. Eight million pounds, ownership down to eight point eight percent with eighty thousand transfers out. The midfielder came off the bench for just nineteen minutes in Gameweek twenty-two but did grab an assist for four points. Only four goals and two assists all season, and he's clearly not in Ruben Amorim's first eleven plans consistently. Man United face Arsenal away on Sunday, then Fulham at home, then Spurs away. Three point seven expected points. Verdict: Sell. At eight million pounds, you're paying premium money for a rotation risk who isn't delivering consistent returns. Better options exist at that price point.
Number two: Gravenberch from Liverpool. Five point seven million pounds, six point two percent owned, twenty-five thousand transfers out. He played seventy-seven minutes against Burnley for just two points, no attacking returns. Four goals and three assists this season sounds decent, but with Salah back and Liverpool's midfield packed with quality, minutes aren't guaranteed. Five point one expected points against Bournemouth. Verdict: Hold if you own him, but don't buy. The price has risen twice, but he's a defensive midfielder primarily. Better five to six million midfielders are available with clearer roles.
Number three: Reijnders from Man City. Five point two million pounds, twelve percent owned, twenty-four thousand transfers out. Only ten minutes in Gameweek twenty-two for one point tells you everything. Pep Guardiola rotated heavily in the derby, and Reijnders is suffering. Five goals and two assists this season show potential, but you can't trust his minutes. City host Wolves, then face Spurs away. Four point nine expected points. Verdict: Sell if you need reliability. He's a Pep roulette victim. If you're chasing differentials and can handle the bench risk, hold, but safer options exist.
Differential picks under ten percent ownership. These could be your secret weapons.
Thiaw from Newcastle. Five point one million pounds, six point three percent owned. This defender hauled nine points in Gameweek twenty-two with a clean sheet and three bonus points. Three goals this season from defense is exceptional. Newcastle face Aston Villa at home, Liverpool away, then Spurs at home. Eddie Howe's side are solid defensively, and Thiaw offers goal threat from set pieces. Six point two expected points. Low ownership, high ceiling.
Bruno G from Newcastle. Seven point two million pounds, twenty-three point seven percent owned. Just over the differential threshold but worth mentioning. Eight goals and five assists this season, played ninety minutes in Gameweek twenty-two. Newcastle's fixtures include Villa at home and he's on everything set-piece wise. Seven point two expected points. Consistent returner who's flying under the radar.
Your captaincy pick for Gameweek twenty-three: it has to be someone from Man City at home to Wolves or Liverpool away to Bournemouth. Both fixtures scream goals. If Salah starts, he's the obvious choice given Bournemouth's leaky defense. But monitor team news because if there's any doubt, pivot to a City attacker.
One key tip: don't ignore Everton's defense. Pickford and their back line are delivering consistent clean sheets under Moyes. Leeds at home is a great fixture. Consider doubling up on Everton defenders if you have the budget.
