Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily Fantasy Premier League briefing. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. We're preparing for Gameweek eleven with the deadline at eleven AM on Saturday, the eighth of November. We've got breaking team news on Arsenal's striker situation, midfield assets exploding with points, and the differential picks that could separate you from the pack. Let's dive in.
First up, the rapid-fire news bulletin. The big story coming out of Arsenal is that Gyokeres could miss Gameweek eleven. Media reports suggest the striker who's been essential for so many managers might not feature against West Ham. This is huge news if you own him, and we'll discuss replacements shortly. Meanwhile, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah bounced back with a goal and ten points in Gameweek ten, but his ownership has dropped to twenty-four point seven percent as managers question his consistency this season. Finally, the defensive midfielder revolution continues. Declan Rice now has four assists this season, Moises Caicedo has three goals, and both are among the top-scoring midfielders in the game. If you don't own at least one, you're already behind.
Now let's talk transfers in, starting with the hottest property in Fantasy Premier League right now. Jean-Philippe Mateta at seven point nine million pounds has seen three hundred and seventy thousand transfers in this week, taking his ownership to twenty-four point two percent. He scored again in Gameweek ten, bagging nine points including all three bonus against Everton. That's six goals in ten gameweeks for Crystal Palace's target man. With fixtures against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Newcastle coming up, the schedule isn't perfect, but Mateta is the form forward in the game right now averaging nine point three expected points. Verdict: Essential if you don't already own him.
Next up, Declan Rice at six point eight million pounds is seeing absolutely massive interest with three hundred and thirty-eight thousand transfers in. The Arsenal midfielder just delivered thirteen points in Gameweek ten with a goal, a clean sheet and maximum bonus. That's his fourth assist of the season, and he's now returned in five of his last six matches. Arsenal have kept six clean sheets in ten games, and Rice is involved in everything good they do going forward. At just seventeen point four percent ownership, he's the perfect differential captain option against West Ham this weekend. Verdict: Essential buy, one of the bargains of the season.
Third on our transfers in list is Moises Caicedo at six point zero million pounds. Nearly three hundred thousand managers brought him in this week, and he delivered with ten points against Wolves. That's an assist, a clean sheet and two bonus points. Caicedo has three goals and one assist this season, playing as an attacking box-to-box midfielder under Enzo Maresca. His ownership is twenty point eight percent, so he's not a differential anymore, but Chelsea's fixtures include matches against Fulham and Crystal Palace in the next four gameweeks. Verdict: Good buy if you have the funds, but Rice offers more value.
Now the transfers out, and we start with the elephant in the room. Kai Havertz, sorry I meant Gyokeres, whoever Arsenal's main striker is, could be missing Gameweek eleven. If you own Arsenal's premium striker, you need to act fast. The news broke late, and thousands are already moving him out. With question marks over his fitness, you cannot risk captaining him or even having him in your starting eleven. Look at Mateta, Alexander Isak or even Darwin Nunez as direct replacements in that price bracket. Verdict: Sell immediately if the team news confirms he's out.
Second player to consider moving out is anyone who jumped on Mohammed Salah at fourteen point two million pounds expecting immediate returns. Yes, he scored ten points in Gameweek ten, but that's just his second double-digit haul all season. He's dropped in price three times, and sixty-two thousand managers shipped him out after the deadline. At his price point, you need explosive returns every week. Liverpool have good fixtures, but Salah's inconsistency this season makes him impossible to captain with confidence. Verdict: Hold if you own him, but don't buy him back if you've already sold.
Third transfer out consideration is Matty Cash at four point six million pounds. The Aston Villa defender did nothing in Gameweek ten, playing the full ninety minutes but picking up zero points. Villa have conceded in three of their last four matches, and Cash hasn't returned attacking points since Gameweek eight. At five point two percent ownership, he's not a popular pick anyway, but if you're looking for budget defenders, there are better options. Verdict: Sell if you need funds, but he's cheap enough to keep on your bench.
Time for differential picks, and we're focusing on players under ten percent ownership who could explode. First up, Danny Welbeck at six point five million pounds and eight point three percent owned. The Brighton striker scored his sixth goal of the season in Gameweek ten, playing eighty-one minutes and picking up six points. He's averaging eight point three expected points, and Brighton face Newcastle and Bournemouth in their next three. At his price, he's an absolute steal.
Second differential is Tyler Adams at just five point zero million pounds with microscopic ownership of zero point four percent. The Bournemouth midfielder scored and picked up eight points including bonus in Gameweek ten. He's playing advanced under Andoni Iraola and offers incredible value as a fifth midfielder who could start for you.
Third differential is Josh O'Reilly, the Manchester City defender at four point nine million pounds and one point one percent owned. He scored eight points in Gameweek ten with a goal, playing the full ninety minutes. With City's injuries, he's nailed in the starting eleven right now. At under five million, he's a budget enabler who could actually return points.
Captaincy for Gameweek eleven: Declan Rice is my pick. Arsenal face West Ham at home, he's in sensational form with returns in five of his last six, and his ownership is low enough that he's a genuine differential captain. If you want safety, Mohamed Salah against Brighton is the obvious choice, but Rice offers the explosiveness with lower ownership.
One key tip for Gameweek eleven: Don't panic sell your premiums unless they're injured. Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, and Bukayo Saka might frustrate you week to week, but they're the players who win leagues with their ceiling. Be patient, use your transfers wisely, and focus on the fixtures.
