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 29 transfers sorted before Tuesday's deadline. Let's go.
Right, news first. Odegaard missed the Arsenal versus Chelsea match in Gameweek 28, and his availability for Gameweek 29 is uncertain. That's a big deal if you're planning to bring in Arsenal assets. Raya and Rice also picked up knocks in that game, with their fitness being monitored ahead of Tuesday's deadline. Keep a close eye on those updates. Andersen was absent for Man Utd and his status is unclear going into Gameweek 29. And on the suspension front, three players are sitting on nine yellow cards for the season, meaning they're one booking away from a ban. Check your squads carefully before you transfer anyone in. Finally, Evanilson's injury is ongoing for Bournemouth, which affects their attacking options heading into a home game against Brentford on Tuesday night.
Now let's get into the transfers. Here are your top three buys for Gameweek 29.
First up, B.Fernandes from Man Utd, priced at nine point nine million pounds and owned by thirty-eight point three percent. He absolutely delivered in Gameweek 28, scoring a goal and an assist for thirteen points with three bonus. The man has seven goals and thirteen assists this season. Thirteen assists. That is elite creativity. He heads into Gameweek 29 away at Newcastle, and with Man Utd showing real momentum under Michael Carrick, this is a player who keeps delivering. Expected points of seven point nine for Gameweek 29. Nearly one hundred thousand transfers in this week. Verdict: Essential. Get him in.
Second buy, Šeško from Man Utd, at seven point three million pounds and just four point eight percent ownership. He scored in Gameweek 28 and bagged eight points. Eight goals in the league this season, and he's playing with real confidence right now. He goes to Newcastle in Gameweek 29 alongside B.Fernandes, and Man Utd look like they're finding their attacking rhythm. Over seventy-five thousand transfers in this week tells you the market has woken up to him. Expected points six point seven. Verdict: Good. He's a smart differential pick at this price.
Third buy, Semenyo from Man City, at eight point two million pounds and owned by fifty-four point five percent. He scored and kept a clean sheet in Gameweek 28 for eight points. Fourteen goals and six assists this season is outstanding for a midfielder. Man City host Nott'm Forest on Wednesday, which looks a tasty fixture on paper, and his expected points of seven point five reflect that. Over one hundred and thirty thousand transfers in this week. He's flying. If you don't have him, you're missing out. Verdict: Essential.
Now the transfers out. Three players you should be moving on.
First out, João Pedro from Chelsea, seven point six million pounds, forty-five point seven percent ownership. He played the full ninety in Gameweek 28 but returned just two points. No goal, no assist, no bonus. Chelsea travel to Aston Villa in Gameweek 29, which is rated as a difficult fixture with the difficulty score sitting at four. With nearly seventy-five thousand transferring him out this week, the market is already shifting. He has eleven goals and eight assists this season but his form needs to translate into actual points. Verdict: Sell. Rotate the funds into someone delivering right now.
Second out, Palmer from Chelsea, ten point six million pounds, sixteen point two percent ownership. He played eighty-five minutes against Arsenal in Gameweek 28 and returned just one point. Ouch. At that price, you simply cannot afford blank Gameweeks. Chelsea's trip to Aston Villa is tough, and with forty thousand transferring him out, managers are losing patience. His expected points of eight point one suggest upside, but the inconsistency is a problem. Verdict: Sell or at minimum Hold only if you can stomach the risk.
Third, Solanke from Spurs, seven point two million pounds, just one point two percent ownership. Full ninety minutes in Gameweek 28, just two points. Two goals all season. Spurs host Crystal Palace in Gameweek 29 but their attacking output has been deeply unreliable under Thomas Frank. The numbers don't lie here. Verdict: Sell immediately and free up that budget.
Now your differentials. Under ten percent ownership, players who could haul in Gameweek 29.
Welbeck from Brighton, six point one million pounds, three point seven percent owned. He scored in Gameweek 28 for nine points including three bonus. Ten goals this season. Brighton host Arsenal on Wednesday in what looks a high-quality game, and Welbeck has the physicality to cause problems. He's quietly been one of the better budget forwards this season. Worth a look.
Gyökeres from Arsenal, eight point eight million pounds, twelve point three percent owned. Just outside the ten percent threshold but worth mentioning. He didn't score in Gameweek 28 but Arsenal are heading to Brighton and he is the focal point of Mikel Arteta's attack. Ten goals this season, and with expected points of seven point two, he could easily haul here. The Brighton fixture looks tough on paper at difficulty four for Arsenal but Gyökeres is capable of scoring against anyone.
Flемming from Burnley, five point three million pounds, just zero point three percent owned. He scored in Gameweek 28 and has seven goals this season. Burnley travel to Everton on Tuesday night, a fixture where Scott Parker's side might actually fancy themselves. At five point three million pounds, he's one of the cheapest budget forwards with genuine goal threat. Pure differential territory.
Captaincy for Gameweek 29. The armband goes to B.Fernandes. He is in red-hot form, thirteen points in Gameweek 28, thirteen assists this season, and he's your best route to a big captain return this week. If you want a differential captain, Semenyo away at Nott'm Forest is an option, but B.Fernandes is the standout choice. Key tip: Get your transfers done before Tuesday's deadline at six PM. With Tuesday night games kicking off at seven thirty, you have no room for error here. Don't sleep on this one.
