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.
Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail Gameweek 36 and climb those mini-league tables. Let's go.
Right, quick news blast to kick things off. Gameweek 35 is done and dusted, and what a week it was. Nott'm Forest continued their stunning form, beating Chelsea three goals to one, while Man Utd shocked Liverpool three goals to two. Bournemouth put three past Crystal Palace without reply, and Arsenal crushed Fulham three nil. Big results with big FPL implications heading into Gameweek 36.
The massive story for Gameweek 36 is the double gameweek for Man City and Crystal Palace. Man City play both Brentford on Saturday and Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Crystal Palace face Everton on Sunday and then Man City midweek. That double exposure means assets from both clubs are flying off the shelves right now. Plan around it or get left behind.
Mavropanos picked up a yellow card in Gameweek 35 and registered minus one points, so West Ham defenders are looking shaky ahead of a tough home fixture against Arsenal. Be warned there. And keep an eye on any late injury news before the Saturday deadline at ten in the morning.
Okay, now today's special theme. It's Wednesday, so we're asking who delivered the most defensive contribution points in Gameweek 35. Let's get into it.
The standout defensive performer this week has to be Truffert of Bournemouth. At just four point seven million pounds with four point six percent ownership, this left back played all ninety minutes, kept a clean sheet against Crystal Palace in that three nil win, and bagged a bonus point for seven points total. He now has ten clean sheets this season. Ten! That is elite for a defender at that price point. His form rating is six point zero and he's in the top picks for Gameweek 36 where Fulham visit. Bournemouth have been ruthless defensively in recent weeks and Truffert is criminally underowned.
Next up, Okafor of Leeds. Yes, he's a midfielder, but defensive contribution points go to midfielders too, and Okafor absolutely delivered in Gameweek 35. He scored a goal, kept a clean sheet, earned two bonus points, and totalled ten points from sixty-four minutes of play against Burnley in that three one win. At five point six million pounds and only three percent ownership, his form rating of ten point two is the best in the data. He's been transferred in by nearly sixty-one thousand managers this week alone. Eight goals and three assists this season, and Leeds face Spurs in Gameweek 36 on Monday night. That's a fixture worth targeting.
Now let's flip to the transfers section. Top three in for Gameweek 36.
First up, Cherki from Man City. Six point six million pounds, sixteen point nine percent ownership, and over two hundred and thirteen thousand transfers in this gameweek. He assisted in Gameweek 35 and has twelve assists this season with four goals. The double gameweek expected points of fifteen make him almost unmissable. He plays Brentford and Crystal Palace in Gameweek 36, both genuinely winnable fixtures. Verdict: Essential.
Second transfer in, Haaland of Man City. Fourteen point six million pounds, sixty-two point six percent ownership. He scored in Gameweek 35, has twenty-five goals this season, and carries twelve expected points for the double gameweek. Nearly one hundred and seventy-four thousand transfers in this week. If you don't have him, the double gameweek is your moment. Verdict: Essential.
Third transfer in, and this one is for the budget-conscious, Truffert from Bournemouth. Four point seven million pounds, only four point six percent ownership. Ten clean sheets this season, solid upcoming fixture against Fulham, and a form rating of six. Frees up cash for premium assets elsewhere. Verdict: Good.
Now the three to consider moving on from.
First, Mavropanos of West Ham. Four point five million pounds. He got minus one points in Gameweek 35, picking up a yellow card. West Ham face Arsenal at home in Gameweek 36, which is a brutally tough defensive fixture. He's being transferred out by over nineteen thousand managers and rightly so. Verdict: Sell.
Second, F.Kadioglu of Brighton. Four point four million pounds, only one point one percent ownership. He played ninety minutes in Gameweek 35 but returned just one point with no clean sheet as Brighton lost to Newcastle three one. Brighton host Wolves in Gameweek 36 but the form has dried up. With nine clean sheets on the season, he looked like a bargain, but the recent returns just aren't there. Verdict: Hold if funds are needed elsewhere, Sell if you want a Gameweek 36 upgrade.
Third, Matheus N. of Man City. Five point three million pounds, three percent ownership. He started the Everton draw but returned just one point from ninety minutes. With eleven clean sheets this season and eight assists, the underlying numbers are good, but the price has dropped two points and the returns have stalled. The double gameweek could revive him though, with an expected ten points. Verdict: Hold if you already own him for the double.
Right, quick-fire differentials. Under ten percent ownership, big upside.
Okafor, Leeds, five point six million pounds, three percent ownership. Ten points in Gameweek 35, form of ten point two, eight goals this season. Leeds face Spurs on Monday night. If you want a differential with genuine haul potential, this is your guy right now.
Khusanov, Man City, five point four million pounds, just zero point seven percent ownership. He's got a double gameweek with expected points of thirteen. Man City face Brentford and Crystal Palace. With five clean sheets on the season, he's a genuine differential play if you want City defensive coverage without paying the premium price. Massive upside for almost zero template exposure.
Bernardo, Man City, six point two million pounds, zero point seven percent ownership. Seven expected points for the double gameweek, eleven clean sheets this season at midfielder price, and four assists in the campaign. Playing in a team with two fixtures this week. Very low ownership means massive green arrow potential if City deliver.
Captaincy pick. Haaland of Man City gets the armband. Double gameweek, twenty-five goals this season, twelve expected points, and facing Brentford then Crystal Palace. He's the standout captain choice for Gameweek 36. If you want a differential captaincy, Cherki is your option with fifteen expected points and twelve assists on the season.
One key tip for this week: if you only make one move, target the Man City double gameweek. Cherki and Haaland are the premium plays, but Khusanov or Bernardo as budget differentials could be the green arrow makers your mini-league rivals aren't considering.
