Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm your host, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to dominate Gameweek eight. We've got the hottest transfers, the biggest letdowns, and the differential picks that could separate you from the pack.
First up, your rapid-fire news bulletin. Mohamed Salah managers, take note - he's hemorrhaging four hundred and fifteen thousand transfers out after another disappointing two-point return. The fourteen point four million pound Egyptian king is looking more like a pauper with just thirty-four points in seven games. Meanwhile, Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo is absolutely flying - eighteen points in Gameweek seven including two goals and an assist has made him the most transferred-in player this week with nearly half a million managers jumping aboard. Arsenal's Jurrien Timber is also catching fire with eleven points last weekend, combining an assist with a clean sheet and bonus points. Injury-wise, keep monitoring team news closely as we approach the Gameweek eight deadline on Saturday morning.
Now let's dive into your top three transfers in. First up, Semenyo at seven point nine million pounds. This Bournemouth midfielder has exploded with fifty-nine point seven percent ownership after his Gameweek seven masterclass. Six goals and three assists this season makes him the second-highest scoring midfielder with sixty-six total points. The verdict? Essential. If you don't own him, you're falling behind fast.
Second, Jurrien Timber at five point nine million pounds with seventeen point nine percent ownership rising fast. The Arsenal defender has forty-eight points from seven games and offers incredible attacking returns with two goals and two assists already. He's playing as an attacking fullback under Mikel Arteta and Arsenal's defense is looking solid with just three goals conceded. The verdict? Good buy. Arsenal's fixtures are turning favorable and Timber offers both defensive stability and attacking threat.
Third, Marc Guéhi at four point nine million pounds with thirty-one percent ownership climbing. The Crystal Palace center-back has quietly accumulated forty-six points with three clean sheets, one goal, and two assists. Oliver Glasner's system suits him perfectly and at under five million pounds, he's exceptional value. The verdict? Good buy. Palace's defense is improving and Guéhi offers consistent returns at budget price.
Moving to transfers out. Mohamed Salah leads the exodus and rightfully so. Fourteen point four million pounds for just thirty-four points is shocking value. Two goals and two assists in seven games from Liverpool's supposed talisman is unacceptable. The verdict? Sell. That money is desperately needed elsewhere and Arne Slot's Liverpool look different this season.
Second transfer out target is any expensive defender not delivering. Many premium defenders are struggling for consistent returns while budget options like Guéhi and Timber offer better value. The verdict? Consider selling expensive underperformers.
Third, any dead-weight midfielders in your squad. With Semenyo and other mid-price options exploding, carrying passengers is costly. The verdict? Clear them out for active players.
For differential picks under ten percent ownership, consider Granit Xhaka at five million pounds with just four percent ownership. The Sunderland midfielder has three assists and three clean sheets, quietly accumulating thirty-two points. With Regis Le Bris' side improving defensively, Xhaka offers great value.
Second differential is Yankuba Minteh at six million pounds with three point five percent ownership. The Brighton winger has one goal and two assists under Fabian Hurzeler and Brighton's attacking style suits his pace perfectly.
Third differential pick is Ryan Gravenberch at five point seven million pounds with six percent ownership. The Liverpool midfielder is becoming crucial under Arne Slot with two goals and two assists. At under six million pounds, he's exceptional value for Liverpool's midfield engine.
For captaincy in Gameweek eight, Semenyo is the obvious choice. His form is phenomenal and Bournemouth's attack looks unstoppable under Andoni Iraola. The key tip for this week - don't be afraid to take hits for essential players like Semenyo. His points-per-game average of nine point four makes him worth the investment.
