Welcome to Who Got The Points, the podcast that cuts through the noise and tells you exactly what you need to know for Fantasy Premier League success. I'm your host, and in the next seven minutes, we're breaking down everything for Gameweek twenty-five. The deadline is Friday the sixth of February at six thirty pm, so let's get straight into it.
First up, the rapid-fire news bulletin. Gameweek twenty-four delivered some crucial intel. One player is on nine bookings heading into Gameweek twenty-five, meaning they're one yellow card away from a suspension. Check your squads carefully. Crystal Palace have completed a club-record deal worth up to forty-eight million pounds for Strand Larsen, priced at six point one million pounds in FPL. He could offer value as a budget forward option. Schade has picked up a ban for Brentford, so avoid him for the immediate fixtures ahead. Tavernier has an injury concern for Bournemouth according to Andoni Iraola, so monitor that situation closely. Finally, Sels picked up an injury for Nottingham Forest in their draw with Crystal Palace, which could impact their goalkeeping situation.
Now let's talk transfers. First up, the top three players you should be bringing into your squad.
Number one: Wirtz from Liverpool at eight point three million pounds. Ownership has jumped to thirteen point four percent after his stunning Gameweek twenty-four performance. He started and played eighty-six minutes against Newcastle, scoring once and assisting once in Liverpool's four-one victory. That's twelve points total including two bonus. He's now got four goals and three assists this season with seven clean sheets. With seven point four expected points for Gameweek twenty-five against Manchester City, this is a premium midfielder hitting form at the perfect time. Liverpool face City in a Sunday blockbuster, and Wirtz is proving he can deliver in big games. Verdict: Good buy, especially if you need a Liverpool attacker.
Number two: Cunha from Manchester United at eight point zero million pounds. Ownership at eight point five percent. He started and played seventy-three minutes in United's three-two win over Fulham, scoring once and keeping a clean sheet for nine points including one bonus. That's six goals and two assists this season now. Michael Carrick's United are finding some momentum, and Cunha is central to their attacking threat. With six point six expected points for Gameweek twenty-five against Spurs, he's a differential with upside. United face Spurs, then West Ham, giving him two decent fixtures to deliver. Verdict: Good buy for those looking to differentiate their midfield.
Number three: Casemiro from Manchester United at five point five million pounds. Just one point five percent ownership makes him a proper differential. The Brazilian maestro exploded in Gameweek twenty-four, starting and playing seventy-four minutes with one goal and one assist in that three-two Fulham win. That's thirteen points including three bonus points. He's now got five goals and four assists this season with six clean sheets. At five point five million pounds, he offers incredible value as a midfielder who plays deeper but contributes to attacks. With five point eight expected points against Spurs, he's a budget enabler who can actually score points. Verdict: Essential for managers needing budget funds who don't want to sacrifice quality.
Now the players you should be moving out.
First sell: Thiaw from Newcastle at five point one million pounds. Ownership stands at five point four percent. He played the full ninety minutes against Liverpool but Newcastle were torn apart four-one, so zero points. That's four clean sheets this season and three goals, but with five point two expected points for Gameweek twenty-five against Brentford, the fixtures aren't kind. Newcastle's defensive structure looks shaky, and at five point one million pounds, there are better defensive options available. Brentford away is tough, then Spurs, then Manchester City. Verdict: Sell if you need to free up funds or want more reliable defensive cover.
Second sell: Konsa from Aston Villa at four point four million pounds. Seven point six percent owned. He played ninety minutes in Villa's zero-one loss to Brentford, picking up just two points. Seven clean sheets this season sounds good, but Villa's defensive form is inconsistent. Four point two expected points for Gameweek twenty-five against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium isn't enticing. Bournemouth scored three against Wolves and have attacking weapons. For a four point four million pound defender, you need consistent clean sheet potential, and Villa aren't providing that right now. Verdict: Hold if you need the budget slot, but sell if upgrading elsewhere.
Third sell: Szoboszlai from Liverpool at six point seven million pounds. Ownership six point two percent. He played the full ninety minutes against Newcastle but managed just five points including one bonus despite Liverpool winning four-one. That's three goals and two assists all season. At six point seven million pounds, you're paying for Liverpool's attack, but Szoboszlai isn't delivering the explosive returns you need. With Wirtz looking better and four point six expected points for Gameweek twenty-five, there are stronger midfield options in that price bracket. Verdict: Sell if you're looking to optimize your midfield returns.
Differential picks now. Three players under ten percent ownership who could be huge.
First: Summerville from West Ham at five point five million pounds. Just zero point seven percent ownership. He started and played the full ninety minutes against Chelsea, scoring once for seven points in Gameweek twenty-four. That's three goals and three assists this season with seven point two expected points for Gameweek twenty-five. West Ham face Burnley at Turf Moor, and Summerville offers incredible value as a budget midfielder who's getting minutes and finding dangerous positions. At that price, he's a steal.
Second: Adli from Bournemouth at five point four million pounds. Zero point two percent ownership. He played sixty-seven minutes against Wolves, assisting once and keeping a clean sheet for five points. That's two goals and two assists this season. Bournemouth face Aston Villa at home in Gameweek twenty-five, and Adli is involved in Bournemouth's build-up play. Five point five expected points at that ownership makes him a genuine differential who could pay off.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-five: It has to be Semenyo from Manchester City. Forty-nine percent owned at seven point eight million pounds. He played ninety minutes against Spurs in that two-two draw, scoring once for seven points. That's twelve goals and five assists this season. With five point eight expected points for Gameweek twenty-five against Liverpool, he's the standout captain pick. Manchester City versus Liverpool is the Sunday headliner, and Semenyo is City's main attacking threat. Go bold, captain Semenyo.
One key tip: Don't panic about price changes. Focus on fixtures and form over team value. The managers making smart, fixture-based moves will climb the ranks, not those chasing price rises.
