Welcome to Who Got The Points, your essential daily Fantasy Premier League briefing. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail Gameweek Twenty Three.
Right, let's hit the news bulletin. First up, Bruno Guimaraes is a massive doubt for Newcastle's clash with Aston Villa. He's got an ankle injury with only a seventy five percent chance of playing. Twenty three percent owned, he played the full ninety in Gameweek Twenty Two but this injury cloud could derail plenty of teams. Monitor the pressers closely. Second, Cole Palmer picked up a knock in Chelsea's European match. He's been everywhere in attack for Chelsea under Liam Rosenior, so any absence would be huge. Keep an eye on Friday's team news. Third, Lewis Hall's minutes could be under threat with Dan Burn returning to fitness for Newcastle. Hall has been a budget defensive gem but rotation is now a real concern. Fourth, Brentford face Nottingham Forest on Sunday, and with Keith Andrews' side keeping four clean sheets in their last six home games, their defensive assets are suddenly interesting again. Finally, Salah has been deployed as the central striker in European action for Liverpool. If that continues domestically, his goal threat could skyrocket under Arne Slot. Right, that's your news sorted. Let's get into transfers.
Top three transfers in for Gameweek Twenty Three. Number one, Florian Wirtz. Eight point three million pounds, ownership surging to twelve point seven percent after a hundred and thirty seven thousand transfers in. The Liverpool midfielder scored and grabbed ten points in Gameweek Twenty Two against Burnley, playing the full ninety minutes as the number ten. He's got seven point seven expected points against Bournemouth this weekend. Two goals and two assists this season but the underlying stats are strong, with Liverpool's fixtures turning green. Verdict? Good buy. He's emerging as Liverpool's creative hub but monitor minutes with European rotation. Number two, Jurrien Timber. Six point three million pounds, twenty eight point one percent owned, sixty two thousand transfers in. The Arsenal defender has ten clean sheets this season and five points in Gameweek Twenty Two against Forest. He's playing as an inverted full back, giving him defensive security and attacking threat with two goals and four assists. Arsenal face Manchester United at home on Sunday, and Mikel Arteta's side have conceded just twelve goals in twenty two games. Verdict? Essential. At this price with Arsenal's defensive record, he's a no brainer. Number three, Vitezslav Jaros. Four million pounds goalkeeper, a budget enabler. Wait, that's not right. Let me correct that. Let's talk about budget options that actually matter. The third transfer in focus should be on someone who can deliver. Let me pivot to Janelt at Brentford. Four point nine million pounds, just zero point three percent owned, nearly six thousand transfers in. He's started the last four games, playing the full ninety in Gameweek Twenty Two. Four assists this season and five point six expected points against Forest. Brentford have found form with Keith Andrews, and Janelt is their deepest lying enabler who chips in. Verdict? Wait. He's a budget option but not nailed enough to rush in.
Top three transfers out for Gameweek Twenty Three. Number one, Rayan Cherki. Six point seven million pounds, thirteen point eight percent owned, but a hundred and forty nine thousand transfers out. The Manchester City midfielder has been rotated heavily, playing just forty five minutes in Gameweek Twenty Two against Manchester United. Under Pep Guardiola, he's unreliable for starts despite eight assists this season. City face Wolves at home, but with Cherki's rotation risk, that fixture means nothing if he's on the bench. Verdict? Sell. Too expensive to sit on your bench, too unreliable to start. Move him on. Number two, Bruno Guimaraes. Seven point three million pounds, twenty three point two percent owned, over a hundred and fifteen thousand transfers out. We mentioned the ankle injury already. Even at seventy five percent chance of playing, that's not good enough when you're using a transfer. Three points in Gameweek Twenty Two, and now this injury cloud before facing Villa away. Eight goals and five assists this season make him quality, but not right now. Verdict? Sell if you need the funds. Hold if you can afford to wait one week and have decent bench cover. Number three, Micky Van de Ven. Four point six million pounds, twenty eight point one percent owned, seventy five thousand transfers out. The Spurs defender blanked in Gameweek Twenty Two as Tottenham lost two one to West Ham. Seven clean sheets this season sounds decent, but Spurs under Thomas Frank have been defensively shaky, conceding twenty seven goals. They face Burnley away this weekend, which looks good on paper, but can you trust Spurs' defence? Verdict? Hold if you own him for the price, but he's not a priority buy. Better budget defenders exist.
Differential picks time. Three under ten percent owned players who could explode. First up, Yasin Ayari at Brighton. Four point eight million pounds, zero point four percent owned. The midfielder didn't feature in Gameweek Twenty Two but has five clean sheets, two goals and two assists this season when playing. Brighton face Fulham away this weekend, and Ayari offers rotation cover at minimum price. He's a punt, not a priority. Second, Vitinho Yarmoliuk at Brentford. Five million pounds, zero point one percent owned. Two points in Gameweek Twenty Two, playing the full ninety. One goal and two assists this season, and with Brentford's fixtures improving, he's a cheap way into their attack. Forest at home on Sunday is a great fixture. Third, Raul Jimenez at Fulham. Six point two million pounds, two point two percent owned. The forward has five goals and four assists this season. He played eighty seven minutes in Gameweek Twenty Two, and Fulham face Brighton at home. Under Marco Silva, Fulham create chances, and Raul is their main striker. At six point two million, he's a differential worth considering if you need a third striker.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek Twenty Three? It's got to be Mohamed Salah against Bournemouth on Saturday evening. Liverpool's fixtures are turning, and if he continues up front, the points will flow. Alternatively, Bukayo Saka at home to Manchester United offers huge potential. One key tip? Check Bruno Guimaraes' fitness on Friday. If he's ruled out, pivot those funds immediately to Wirtz or another Liverpool midfielder.
