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. Gameweek twenty-six is wrapping up with fixtures tonight, while we start planning for Gameweek twenty-seven this Saturday. We're diving into defensive contribution points, Palmer's penalty prowess, and the transfers you need to make before the weekend deadline.
Let's hit the news bulletin. First up, Dorgu is confirmed out with a hamstring injury for Manchester United. No return date set, so if you're holding the four point three million defender, it's time to move him on. Second, Calvert-Lewin missed out on Tuesday's fixture for Everton with David Moyes remaining tight-lipped on the reason. Monitor the situation ahead of their Monday night clash with United. Third, Cucurella picked up an injury concern for Chelsea. Liam Rosenior has press conferences coming, but with Chelsea facing Burnley at home in Gameweek twenty-seven, keep an eye on team news. Fourth, Palmer converted yet another penalty against Leeds, taking his spot-kick tally to eight successful conversions this season. He's Chelsea's undisputed penalty taker and at ten point five million, he's delivering elite returns. Finally, several double gameweek teams have now completed both fixtures, so fixture analysis for Gameweek twenty-seven becomes crucial.
Today's Wednesday special focuses on defensive contribution points from Gameweek twenty-six. Hill from Bournemouth was outstanding, playing ninety minutes against Everton, grabbing an assist, and earning two bonus points for nine total. At just four million pounds, he's picked up three assists this season and represents incredible value. Adli delivered ten points in the same match, scoring a goal and collecting three bonus points across seventy-nine minutes. The Bournemouth midfielder at five point four million has three goals and two assists, with form hitting six point six. Palmer racked up twelve points for Chelsea with a goal, an assist, and three bonus across the full ninety minutes. That's eight goals and two assists this season from midfield.
Now for the top three transfers in for Gameweek twenty-seven. First, Palmer at ten point five million pounds with fourteen point three percent ownership saw forty-six thousand managers bring him in. He's scored twelve points in Gameweek twenty-six, has eight point six expected points for the Burnley home fixture, and just delivered a goal plus assist with maximum bonus. Chelsea face Burnley at Stamford Bridge, and Palmer's on every set piece and penalty. The verdict is essential. He's the most inform midfielder in the game right now.
Second, João Pedro at seven point six million with massive forty-four point seven percent ownership gained thirty-five thousand new managers. He scored ten points in Gameweek twenty-six with a goal, assist, and one bonus point across ninety minutes. That's ten goals and eight assists for the season from a Chelsea forward playing under Liam Rosenior's attacking system. Nine point six expected points against Burnley makes him a no-brainer. The verdict is essential. If you don't own him, you're falling behind the curve.
Third, Hill at four million pounds with two point five percent ownership exploded with thirty thousand transfers in after his nine-point haul. He delivered an assist and two bonus points against Everton, taking his season tally to three assists from defence. Bournemouth have decent fixtures coming with West Ham away next, and at four million, he's the ultimate enabler for your defence. The verdict is good value. He frees up funds for premiums elsewhere.
Top three transfers out for Gameweek twenty-seven. First, Dorgu at four point three million with four point nine percent ownership saw eight thousand managers sell after confirmation of his hamstring injury. Zero minutes in Gameweek twenty-six, no return date, and Manchester United's defence isn't keeping clean sheets anyway. Three goals and three assists earlier this season showed promise, but injured players offer nothing. The verdict is sell immediately. Take the funds elsewhere.
Second, Enzo at six point nine million with twenty-three point one percent ownership lost twenty-two thousand managers despite playing ninety minutes. Just two points in Gameweek twenty-six with no attacking returns shows why. Yes, he has eight goals this season, but form has dropped to five point two with Chelsea's fixtures turning. The verdict is consider selling. Better midfield options exist at similar price points.
Third, Cunha at eight point one million with eight point seven percent ownership dropped eight thousand managers after just two points for Manchester United. He played sixty-eight minutes against West Ham but offered nothing attacking. Six goals and two assists for the season sounds decent, but United's form under Michael Carrick is inconsistent. The verdict is sell if you need funds. The eight point one million is better invested in Palmer or proven captaincy options.
Differential picks under ten percent ownership. M Fernandes from West Ham at five point five million with zero point four percent ownership played the full ninety against United. Three goals and three assists this season with six point four expected points against Bournemouth away makes him interesting. West Ham have Bournemouth, then Liverpool in Gameweek twenty-eight, so it's short-term only. Rayan at Bournemouth costs five point five million with zero point five percent ownership and just scored his second goal of the season. Six points in Gameweek twenty-six shows potential, but with only three matches played, sample size is tiny. One to monitor rather than rush into. Bernardo at Manchester City for six point two million with zero point six percent ownership has quietly picked up four assists this season. Eight clean sheets show City's defensive improvements under Pep Guardiola, and with Newcastle away in Gameweek twenty-seven, there's potential for attacking returns. At six point two million with ownership under one percent, he's a genuine differential.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-seven goes to Palmer against Burnley at home. Ten point five million, twelve points last gameweek, and eight point six expected points makes this straightforward. He takes every set piece, every penalty, and Chelsea are flying under Liam Rosenior. Burnley away is the fixture everyone wants. Alternative options include João Pedro in the same fixture or looking at City assets for their Newcastle clash.
One key tip for Gameweek twenty-seven: prioritise Chelsea attackers for the Burnley fixture, but also consider the North London derby on Sunday. Arsenal travel to Tottenham under Thomas Frank in a fixture rated difficulty four and three respectively. Both teams have attacking weapons capable of hauling, so spread your risk between the Chelsea doubles and one explosive differential from that match.
