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 get your Gameweek thirty-six transfers sorted. Deadline is Saturday the ninth of May at ten in the morning, so let's not waste a second.
Right, here's your rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, Leeds beat Burnley three one in the opening Gameweek thirty-five fixture, and it was a big night for two players on our radar. Okafor and Stach were both superb, with Okafor grabbing a goal in a commanding performance. Burnley looked shell-shocked throughout, which is not great news for their assets going forward. Second, the big one to watch is Man United versus Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. Both sides have players with massive captaincy potential for Gameweek thirty-six, so team news from that fixture will be crucial for your planning. Third, keep an eye on the Man City double gameweek situation in Gameweek thirty-six. City face Brentford on Saturday the ninth and then Crystal Palace on Wednesday the thirteenth, making their assets extremely attractive ahead of the deadline. Fourth, Arsenal host Fulham on Saturday afternoon in Gameweek thirty-five, with both teams involved in important fixtures next week. And fifth, Chelsea face Nottingham Forest on Monday, another game to watch before finalising your Gameweek thirty-six squad.
Now let's get into the transfers. Here are your top three ins for Gameweek thirty-six.
First up, O'Reilly from Man City, priced at five point two million pounds, owned by seventeen point eight percent and rising fast with over eleven thousand transfers in this week alone. This lad has thirteen clean sheets this season, five goals, and four assists. He is the standout budget defender right now, and with Man City playing twice in Gameweek thirty-six against Brentford and Crystal Palace, his expected points of fourteen point six for the gameweek are simply too good to ignore. We flagged him as essential two days ago and that call is absolutely standing. Verdict: Essential. Get him in now.
Second, Guéhi from Man City at five point one million pounds, owned by thirty-two point seven percent. Yes, Guéhi has made the move to Man City in this FPL universe, and with twelve clean sheets and an expected points return of twelve point six for Gameweek thirty-six, he complements O'Reilly perfectly as a double Man City defensive option. Three goals and four assists show his attacking threat too. With that double gameweek incoming, the ceiling here is enormous. We said sell Guéhi a couple of days ago but that was before the double gameweek picture fully crystallised. Now, with City playing twice, this is a clear buy. Verdict: Good buy, especially alongside O'Reilly.
Third, Okafor from Leeds, priced at five point six million pounds, owned by just two point six percent. He scored in Gameweek thirty-five, bagging ten points on the night, and his form rating of ten point two is the highest in our data set today. Eight goals and three assists this season, and Leeds face Spurs in Gameweek thirty-six on Monday the eleventh of May. Spurs have been inconsistent, and Okafor is clearly in the form of his life right now. At this price and ownership, he is a genuine differential that could separate you from your mini-league rivals. Verdict: Good. Low ownership, high upside.
Now your top three transfers out for Gameweek thirty-six.
First, Semenyo from Man City, eight point one million pounds, fifty point two percent ownership. Despite being in over half of all FPL squads, his form rating has dropped to just one point eight and he blanked in Gameweek thirty-five's yet-to-play fixture. Yes, Man City have a double gameweek, but if Semenyo is not firing, you are carrying a very expensive differential risk. With fifteen goals and six assists on the season, the potential is there, but recent form is a major concern. If you need the funds for O'Reilly or Guéhi, this is your sell. Verdict: Sell if upgrading.
Second, B.Fernandes from Man Utd, ten point four million pounds, forty-seven point two percent ownership. Look, two hundred and four points on the season is quality, but his recent form has dipped to three point eight and Man United face Sunderland in Gameweek thirty-six, which looks manageable on paper, but with expected points of just four point three, you are paying a premium for a player not currently at his best. If you are looking to fund those Man City double gameweek assets, B.Fernandes is the obvious sell target at ten point four million pounds. Verdict: Sell or consider downgrading.
Third, Calvert-Lewin from Leeds, five point eight million pounds, thirteen point three percent ownership. He scored today against Burnley and took home six points, but his form rating sits at four point zero and his expected return next gameweek against Spurs is also modest. With twelve goals on the season he has been solid, but at five point eight million pounds you can arguably get better value elsewhere in attack. If you are cash-strapped and need funds, this is a sensible place to look. Verdict: Hold if happy, but open to selling.
Now, three differentials under ten percent ownership that could haul in Gameweek thirty-six.
Donnarumma in goal for Man City at five point six million pounds, owned by nine point two percent. Thirteen clean sheets this season. A double gameweek against Brentford and Crystal Palace. His expected points of eight point six are among the highest for any goalkeeper this week. If you do not have a Man City goalkeeper already, this is your move. Seriously underowned.
Darlow in goal for Leeds at four point zero million pounds, owned by six point seven percent. Leeds face Spurs in Gameweek thirty-six and at four million pounds, Darlow is budget gold if you need a cheap keeper to free up funds. Only two points tonight against Burnley, but Spurs away gives him a shot at a clean sheet.
Scott from Bournemouth at five point one million pounds, owned by two point five percent. Nine clean sheets this season is a remarkable tally, and Bournemouth host Fulham in Gameweek thirty-six in what looks a competitive but winnable fixture. Scott has a hundred and twenty-five total points this season and is criminally underowned. If you want a low-cost midfielder with defensive upside, Scott is your differential.
Right, captaincy pick for Gameweek thirty-six. It has to be O'Reilly from Man City. Double gameweek, fourteen point six expected points, thirteen clean sheets, five goals, four assists, and only five point two million pounds. He is the standout captaincy shout for budget-minded managers, and with a vice-captain option of Guéhi alongside him, you can double up on that Man City defensive clean sheet potential. And one key tip: if you are not already thinking about Gameweek thirty-seven and thirty-eight, note that Man City face Bournemouth and Aston Villa in those closing rounds, so holding City assets through the run-in looks like the smart play.
