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 Gameweek 36. We've got big scores from Saturday, key transfer targets, and the captain pick you cannot ignore. Let's go.
Right, rapid-fire news time. First up, Odegaard was absent from Arsenal's starting lineup against Fulham in Gameweek 35, with Eze and Saka both starting instead. Arsenal ran out three nil winners, so keep that in mind when planning your Arsenal assets going forward. Odegaard's absence is a concern heading into Gameweek 36 where Arsenal travel to West Ham. Second, Gyökeres was absolutely sensational for Arsenal on Saturday, bagging two goals, one assist, and the full bonus haul for sixteen points. He only played sixty three minutes, suggesting he may have been managed, but what a return. Third, Osula has now scored in three of his last four appearances for Newcastle, making him a genuine budget enabler worth monitoring. Newcastle hammered Brighton three one in Gameweek 35 and Osula delivered again. Fourth, Welbeck started for Brighton in Gameweek 35 while Gordon and Hall came off the bench, which is worth noting for Brighton's upcoming trip to face Wolves in Gameweek 36. Finally, Man City haven't played yet in Gameweek 35, with their fixture against Everton coming on Monday. Their Gameweek 36 schedule is massive, playing Man City versus Brentford on Saturday and then a double with Man City versus Crystal Palace midweek. City assets are flying through the turnstiles this week.
Now let's get into the transfers. Here are your top three buys heading into Gameweek 36.
First up, Gyökeres at Arsenal. Eight point eight million pounds, twelve point three percent ownership. He's just hauled sixteen points in Gameweek 35 with two goals, one assist, and max bonus. Fourteen goals and one assist for the season so far, and Arsenal face West Ham away in Gameweek 36, which has a fixture difficulty rating of four for Arsenal, but this man has the quality to deliver anywhere. Six point eight expected points next gameweek. He's been the standout performer of the weekend and the transfers in are already rolling in at nearly thirty two thousand. Verdict: Essential. Get him in now before his price rises.
Second buy, Cherki at Man City. Six point five million pounds, fifteen point seven percent ownership. Nearly forty nine thousand transfers in this gameweek, and it's not hard to see why. Man City have a double in Gameweek 36, Brentford at home and Crystal Palace, and Cherki has eleven assists and four goals this season with a form score of five point eight. He's generating twelve point six expected points for Gameweek 36. With City's double and his creative output, he is the midfield priority. Verdict: Essential. If you don't have him, he needs to be in your squad now.
Third buy, Matheus N. at Man City. Five point three million pounds, just two point nine percent ownership. He hasn't played yet in Gameweek 35 with Man City's match still to come, but he has eleven clean sheets this season, eight assists, and a four point eight points per game average. That is outstanding for a five point three million pound defender. With City's Gameweek 36 double, his expected points are nine point four. A budget defender with premium output. Verdict: Good. A smart pick if you need defensive cover and want City exposure.
Now your top three transfers out for Gameweek 36.
First out, Mavropanos at West Ham. Four point five million pounds, two point one percent ownership. He put in a horror shift against Brentford in Gameweek 35, picking up minus one point after playing the full ninety. West Ham conceded three goals and look shaky defensively. In Gameweek 36 they host Arsenal, which is a very tough fixture. Form of seven point five is misleading given his latest blank and Brentford ran riot. Verdict: Sell if you have him. Too risky with Arsenal up next.
Second out, Lewis-Potter at Brentford. Four point eight million pounds, one point five percent ownership. Yes he scored eleven points today with an assist and a clean sheet in the three nil win over West Ham, which was a great result. But Gameweek 36 sees Brentford travel to Man City, a difficulty rating of five for Brentford. That is a brutal fixture for any defensive asset. His expected points for next week drop to four point three. Verdict: Hold if you have him after today's points, but don't rush to buy.
Third out, Damsgaard at Brentford. Five point six million pounds, zero point seven percent ownership. Another Brentford player who delivered today with a goal, clean sheet, and full bonus for eleven points. But again, Man City away in Gameweek 36 is a nightmare fixture for any Brentford player. His expected points next week are also four point three. Verdict: Hold for now but consider moving on after Gameweek 35 wraps up. You've had your fun, get out before the City brick wall.
Now let's talk differentials. Under ten percent ownership, players who could make you serious rank gains in Gameweek 36.
First differential, Osula at Newcastle. Five point four million pounds, just zero point six percent ownership. Three goals in his last four appearances, nine points in Gameweek 35, and Newcastle face Nott'm Forest in Gameweek 36. That is a very manageable fixture. Seven expected points next gameweek. If you need a cheap forward rotation option with serious upside, Osula is the name. Genuinely exciting and seriously cheap.
Second differential, Hinshelwood at Brighton. Five point one million pounds, only zero point five percent ownership. Scored in Gameweek 35 playing eighty seven minutes and has three goals and five assists this season. Brighton face Wolves at home in Gameweek 36, which has a difficulty rating of four for Brighton but Wolves have been poor. Six expected points projected and at this price and ownership, he could be a serious rank climber. Worth a look if you want Brighton midfield exposure on the cheap.
Third differential, Mukiele at Sunderland. Four point six million pounds, eight point seven percent ownership. Scored himself in Gameweek 35 for eleven points. Five clean sheets, three goals, and five assists across the season at four point eight points per game. Sunderland face Man Utd in Gameweek 36 with five point five expected points. He is an elite budget defender and one of the best value picks in the game right now.
Right, captaincy. It has to be Cherki at Man City. Double gameweek, eleven assists this season, and an expected points return of twelve point six for Gameweek 36. With City hosting Brentford and then Crystal Palace, the opportunity for a massive haul is right there. If you do not have Cherki yet, he becomes your priority transfer this week and your captain the moment he is in your squad. Back him heavily.
One key tip before we go. With the Gameweek 36 deadline on the ninth of May at ten in the morning, you need to have your Man City assets sorted before Saturday morning. Do not sleep on the double gameweek. Cherki and Matheus N. are the priority picks. Get them in, back Cherki with the armband, and you are set up perfectly.
