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.
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 looking ahead to Gameweek sixteen with the deadline at half past one on Saturday the thirteenth of December. Today we're covering the biggest movers from Gameweek fifteen, the essential transfers to make now, and three differential picks that could separate you from your rivals. Let's dive in.
Right, the news bulletin. First up, massive injury blow for Crystal Palace managers. Daniel Munoz is out until mid-January with a knee injury. He didn't feature in Gameweek fifteen and with over twenty-four percent ownership, that's mass panic selling happening right now. Three hundred and eighty-six thousand transfers out already. If you own him, he's got to go.
Second, team news from Arsenal. Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze were both rested in midweek. Mikel Arteta confirmed it was planned rotation, so both should be available for Gameweek sixteen. However, Jurrien Timber picked up an injury and his availability is uncertain. Monitor the Friday press conference closely.
Third, penalty duty news from Tottenham. In their match against Brentford, we saw Dominic Solanke step up for a penalty before James Maddison also took responsibility. Thomas Frank's side now has two potential takers, creating some uncertainty around set pieces. Worth noting for those considering Spurs attackers.
Fourth, Liverpool news. Arne Slot confirmed Dominik Szoboszlai is now on penalties after converting in their latest match. Mohamed Salah was rested entirely, but Slot assured fans he'll be back for the weekend. Liverpool face Brighton at home on Saturday, and Salah remains the premium captaincy option.
Finally, Bruno Fernandes. What a Gameweek fifteen performance at Wolves. Two goals, one assist, three bonus points, and eighteen Fantasy points total. He's now the most transferred-in player this week with three hundred and ninety thousand managers bringing him in. Ruben Amorim's system is clearly suiting him, and he's returning to his best form.
Let's talk transfers in. Number one, Bruno Fernandes. Nine point one million pounds, twenty-two percent ownership, up massively this week. He played the full ninety minutes against Wolves, scoring twice and assisting once. That's four goals and six assists for the season now. The key stat? He's averaging eight point eight form points over his last few matches. One reason to buy? Manchester United's fixtures improve, and he's clearly the main man under Amorim. The system change has him operating higher up the pitch with more freedom. Verdict? Essential. At nine point one million, he's expensive but delivering elite returns. If you don't have him, find the funds.
Number two, Bruno Guimaraes. Six point nine million pounds, thirteen percent ownership, and another huge transfer target with four hundred and forty-seven thousand bringing him in. He scored in Gameweek fifteen, playing the full ninety and picking up three bonus points for ten total. That's five goals and four assists this season. The key stat? At six point nine million, he's exceptional value, averaging five point eight points per game. One reason to buy? Newcastle's fixture swing looks favorable, and Eddie Howe's side are finding rhythm. He's also on some set pieces and operating as their most advanced midfielder. Verdict? Good. Not quite essential given the premium midfield options available, but at this price, he's a steal for those building balanced squads.
Number three, Ruben Dias. Five point six million pounds, five and a half percent ownership, and sixty-six thousand transfers in. He scored and kept a clean sheet against Sunderland, earning fourteen points with two bonus. That's six clean sheets this season now and two goals. The key stat? Manchester City kept their first clean sheet in seven matches, and Pep Guardiola confirmed Dias is finally finding fitness after injury issues. One reason to buy? City face Crystal Palace next, then have decent fixtures. Their defense looked more solid, and at five point six million, he's a route into their backline without breaking the bank. Verdict? Wait. City's defensive issues haven't fully resolved after one clean sheet. Monitor another week before committing.
Now transfers out. Number one, Daniel Munoz. Six point one million pounds, twenty-four percent ownership dropping fast. Zero minutes in Gameweek fifteen due to knee injury. The key stat? He's out until the seventeenth of January, missing at least five gameweeks. That's seven clean sheets and three goals wasted on your bench. One reason to sell? You can't afford passengers during this busy period. With so many matches coming up, every squad spot matters. Verdict? Sell immediately. No debate here. Use that six point one million elsewhere.
Number two, Van Hecke from Brighton. Four point five million pounds, three point four percent ownership. He assisted in Gameweek fifteen but Brighton's defense is leaky. Twenty-one goals conceded this season, just three clean sheets. The key stat? Brighton have conceded in their last five consecutive matches. One reason to sell? At four point five million, he was a budget enabler, but if you're looking to upgrade elsewhere, he's the obvious downgrade target. Brighton face Liverpool next, hardly a clean sheet opportunity. Verdict? Hold if he's your fifth defender. Sell if you need funds urgently, but as a bench option, he's fine.
Number three, Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace. Five point one million pounds, six and a half percent ownership. With Munoz out, Palace's defense loses attacking threat. Lacroix managed just two points in Gameweek fifteen despite playing ninety minutes. The key stat? Seven clean sheets sounds impressive, but Palace face Manchester City next, then fixtures get trickier. One reason to sell? If you doubled up on Palace defense, now's the time to move one out. Their attacking fullback is gone, reducing clean sheet likelihood. Verdict? Keep if he's your only Palace defender. Sell if you need funds or doubled up. Oliver Glasner's side still defend reasonably well, but value has diminished.
Differential picks now, all under ten percent ownership. First, Jordan Pickford. Five point five million pounds, ten point seven percent ownership. Six clean sheets this season already. Everton beat Nottingham Forest three nil in Gameweek fifteen, and their defense under David Moyes has tightened considerably. They face Chelsea next, then Arsenal in Gameweek seventeen. Not easy, but Pickford's save points keep him relevant. At five point five million, he's a set-and-forget option many are overlooking.
Second, Cristian Romero. Five million pounds, just four point two percent ownership. Tottenham kept a clean sheet against Brentford, and Romero earned six points with a bonus. Four clean sheets, two goals this season. Thomas Frank's system gives center backs attacking freedom, and Romero loves getting forward for set pieces. Spurs face Nottingham Forest next, a winnable fixture. At five million, he's a sneaky route into their defense.
Third, Diogo Dalot. Four point four million pounds, barely one percent owned. He assisted in the Wolves demolition, playing eighty-three minutes. That's three assists this season from a four point four million defender. He's nailed under Amorim as the right wing back, getting forward constantly. United face Bournemouth next in Gameweek sixteen, another favorable matchup. Complete differential that could haul.
Captaincy. It's Mohamed Salah. Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield on Saturday. He was rested midweek specifically for this fixture. Arne Slot confirmed he's fresh and ready. Brighton have conceded in five straight matches. Salah at home? That's your armband.
One key tip for Gameweek sixteen. Don't panic over one bad week. If your players have good fixtures ahead and returned recently, hold your nerve. Knee-jerk transfers waste value. Plan two or three gameweeks ahead, not just the next deadline.
