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 thirty-five. Deadline is Friday the first of May at five thirty, so let's get straight into it.
First up, the rapid-fire news bulletin. Salah has received a fresh injury update from Liverpool, and the good news is he is expected to be fit before the end of the season. Whether that means Gameweek thirty-five remains unclear, so plan cautiously if you still own him. Moving on, Gameweek thirty-five is shaping up as a pivotal one with some managers deploying their Bench Boost chip this week, so squad depth matters more than ever right now. Crystal Palace have a Double Gameweek in thirty-six, making their players increasingly attractive to target ahead of that. And Nott'm Forest just put five past Sunderland in Gameweek thirty-four, so their key assets are absolutely flying heading into the final weeks. Leeds welcome Burnley on Friday night to kick off Gameweek thirty-five, and the deadline is that same Friday afternoon, so do not sleep on getting your transfers in.
Now let's get into the transfers. Here are your top three ins for Gameweek thirty-five.
First up, Cherki from Man City at six point five million pounds and twelve point three percent ownership. He is absolutely surging in transfers right now with over two hundred and sixty-seven thousand transfers in this week alone. Eleven assists and four goals this season, with an expected eight point two points for Gameweek thirty-five against Everton at Goodison. Man City have been in devastating form, and Cherki is at the heart of everything creative they do. We flagged him as a differential two days ago and he is fast becoming mainstream. Verdict: Essential. Get him in before the deadline.
Next in, O'Reilly from Man City at five point one million pounds and sixteen percent ownership. Over one hundred and eighty-two thousand transfers in this week, and it is easy to see why. Thirteen clean sheets, five goals, four assists, and a nine point five expected points score for Gameweek thirty-five. A five point one million defender who delivers like a midfielder. He is the budget pick of the season right now. Verdict: Essential. He is the highest-value player in the game at the moment.
Third transfer in, Gibbs-White from Nott'm Forest at seven point six million pounds and eleven point two percent ownership. We said hold last time and he has absolutely justified that with thirteen points in Gameweek thirty-four against Sunderland, scoring one and assisting one in a five-nil demolition. His form rating is an incredible eleven point seven, he has thirteen goals and three assists this season, and Forest head to Chelsea in Gameweek thirty-five. Expected eleven point seven points next week. If you do not own him, reconsider urgently. Verdict: Essential.
Now your top three outs for Gameweek thirty-five.
First out, Watkins from Aston Villa at eight point eight million pounds and fifteen point eight percent ownership. He only picked up two points in Gameweek thirty-four with seventy-nine minutes played but no goal involvement. Villa host Spurs in Gameweek thirty-five, which is a tricky fixture, and his upcoming schedule gets harder. His expected points of six point seven are decent but not great for eight point eight million. With better value elsewhere and Cherki and O'Reilly freeing up funds, he is one to consider moving on. Verdict: Sell if you need the funds.
Second out, Watkins aside, let's talk Guéhi from Man City. Now wait, hear us out. Guéhi is at five point one million pounds and thirty-two point eight percent ownership. He has been brilliant this season with twelve clean sheets, three goals, and four assists. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-five are eight point two, and he faces Everton at home. There is no urgent reason to sell, but if you are already carrying both Guéhi and O'Reilly from Man City, you are very heavily invested in one defence. If you only have one, keep them both, but prioritise O'Reilly if you are choosing. Verdict: Hold.
Third out, Haaland from Man City at fourteen point five million pounds and fifty-nine point seven percent ownership. Look, nobody wants to drop Haaland permanently. He has twenty-four goals and seven assists this season and faces Everton in Gameweek thirty-five. But his form of five point zero and expected five point five points next week is underwhelming for his price. If you are wildcarding this week, there are arguments to restructure your budget. If you are not using a chip, hold him. Verdict: Hold for now, but review if wildcarding.
Now your differentials for Gameweek thirty-five, all under ten percent ownership.
Igor Jesus from Nott'm Forest at five point nine million pounds and just two percent ownership. He was absolutely sensational in Gameweek thirty-four, scoring one, assisting two, keeping a clean sheet, and earning bonus points for fourteen points total. Forest travel to Chelsea in Gameweek thirty-five. He has five goals and six assists this season and is priced criminally low. If Forest keep this momentum, he is a huge differential weapon in the final weeks.
Wieffer from Brighton at four point nine million pounds and just zero point six percent ownership. Seven point two expected points for Gameweek thirty-five as Brighton travel to Newcastle. Six clean sheets this season, four assists, and a form rating of six point seven. He is the ultra-low-ownership enabler who could free up budget while still delivering. At under five million pounds, the risk is minimal.
And finally, Canvot from Crystal Palace at four point five million pounds and just zero point two percent ownership. Crystal Palace have a Double Gameweek thirty-six coming up, making their assets hugely attractive right now. Canvot plays at the back and averages four point one points per game with five clean sheets. In Gameweek thirty-four he picked up three points and he faces Bournemouth away in Gameweek thirty-five before that juicy double. Get him in cheap now ahead of the double.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek thirty-five: Gibbs-White. Forest are in electric form, he is the creative heartbeat of their side, and he has eleven point seven expected points against Chelsea. If you own him, he wears the armband. If you do not have a clear Forest or Man City asset leading your team, Cherki at Man City against Everton is your fallback captain option with eight point two expected points at home.
Key tip for this week: with Gameweek thirty-six Double Gameweeks looming, particularly for Crystal Palace, now is the time to position your squad to take advantage. If you have chips remaining, the Wildcard into Bench Boost strategy is being widely deployed this week. Make sure every player in your squad has a Gameweek thirty-five fixture before the deadline on Friday the first of May at five thirty.
