Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL fix. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, we're breaking down everything you need to know for Gameweek Twenty Four. Let's get straight into it.
First up, the news bulletin. Bruno Guimaraes is a major doubt for Newcastle's trip to Liverpool after picking up an ankle injury in their loss to Aston Villa. He didn't feature in Gameweek Twenty Three and has just a seventy five percent chance of playing. With over three hundred thousand managers shipping him out already, his ownership has cratered from nineteen point two percent. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is edging closer to a return for Everton according to David Moyes, but he remains a doubt for their match at Brighton. Barry is in excellent form for Everton and has been impressing the manager in training. Newcastle's injury crisis deepens with Bruno G's issue adding to their midfield concerns ahead of that tough Liverpool fixture. And finally, Cunha made an immediate impact off the bench for Man United in their win over Arsenal, scoring in just twenty one minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Now for your top three transfers in. First, Ayari from Brighton at four point eight million pounds with just zero point six percent ownership. This guy exploded in Gameweek Twenty Three, scoring a goal and collecting eleven points against Fulham. He started and played the full ninety minutes in an advanced role and now has three goals and two assists this season. Brighton face Everton at home in Gameweek Twenty Four, a solid fixture, and Ayari is delivering consistent returns at an absolute bargain price. He's one of the cheapest starting midfielders in the game and perfect for freeing up funds elsewhere. Verdict: essential if you need a budget enabler.
Second, Pickford from Everton at five point six million pounds with thirteen point nine percent ownership climbing. The Everton goalkeeper has been solid all season with nine clean sheets to his name and one hundred and three total points. He collected three points in the draw against Leeds despite conceding and has over fifty thousand transfers in this week. Everton have a reasonable fixture against Brighton away before hosting Fulham in Gameweek Twenty Five. With sixty five saves this season, Pickford is providing steady returns and bonus point potential. David Moyes has tightened up the defense, and Everton's form is improving. Verdict: good option for goalkeeper stability.
Third, Mukiele from Sunderland at four point five million pounds with twelve point five percent ownership surging. He's become one of the standout budget defenders in the game with one hundred and two total points. In Gameweek Twenty Three, he delivered an assist against West Ham playing the full eighty two minutes before being substituted. That's six clean sheets and four assists this season from a four point five million pound defender. Sunderland face Burnley at home on Monday night in Gameweek Twenty Four, a very winnable fixture. Over forty four thousand managers have brought him in this week. Verdict: essential budget defender.
Now your top three transfers out. First, Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle at seven point two million pounds with ownership collapsing from nineteen point two percent. The injury news is brutal timing. He didn't feature against Aston Villa with an ankle problem and now has just a seventy five percent chance of playing against Liverpool. Over three hundred thousand managers are ditching him already. Even if he does play, Liverpool away is a nightmare fixture, and Newcastle's attack has been struggling. With one hundred and twenty total points, he's been excellent, but you cannot risk an expensive midfielder who might not play. Verdict: sell immediately.
Second, Thiaw from Newcastle at five point one million pounds with six percent ownership dropping. The Newcastle defender collected just one point against Aston Villa despite playing the full ninety, and he's now facing Liverpool away followed by Brentford and then Spurs. Newcastle kept zero clean sheets in Gameweek Twenty Three, and their defensive structure is falling apart. He has four clean sheets all season but has conceded twenty six goals. Over fifty one thousand managers are selling him this week, and rightfully so. The fixtures turn ugly, and Newcastle's defensive assets are losing appeal fast. Verdict: sell for better defensive options.
Third, Barnes from Newcastle at six point one million pounds with just one point seven percent ownership but still worth mentioning. He managed only two points against Aston Villa playing the full ninety minutes without any attacking returns. That's just five goals and zero assists all season for seventy total points. At six point one million pounds, there are far better midfield options available. Newcastle's attack looks toothless, and Barnes isn't providing the returns you need from a six million pound midfielder. Over ten thousand managers are already moving him on. Verdict: sell and upgrade.
Differential picks time. Summerville from West Ham at five point five million pounds with just zero point three percent ownership. He scored and collected eight points against Sunderland playing the full ninety minutes. That's two goals and three assists this season, and West Ham face Chelsea away before Burnley at home. At that price with that ownership, he's a massive differential. M Fernandes, also West Ham, five point five million pounds, zero point two percent owned. He scored against Sunderland too, eight points, playing the full match. Three goals and two assists this season. Both West Ham midfielders are flying under the radar.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek Twenty Four: if you're looking safe, Palmer at Chelsea hosting West Ham is the obvious choice. But keep an eye on team news for Bruno G. If he's declared fit, fading him completely could be premature. However, the smart play is looking at Spurs attackers against Man City given City's defensive issues. One key tip: don't panic sell everyone after one bad week. Look at the fixtures, look at the underlying stats, and make rational decisions. Gameweek Twenty Four is not the time for knee jerk reactions.
