Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL news show. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, you'll get everything you need to prepare for Gameweek twelve. We've got the essential team news, the top transfers to make right now, and three differentials that could smash it this weekend. Let's go.
Rapid fire news bulletin. First up, injury concerns from Gameweek eleven. Benjamin Sesko came off the bench for Tottenham against Manchester United, which suggests he's not fully fit. Keep an eye on updates this week before considering him. Second, Mohammed Kudus was completely absent from the West Ham squad for their match against Burnley. No injury reported yet, but this is a big red flag if you own him. Third, Reece James was benched for Chelsea's match against Wolves despite being fit. Enzo Maresca clearly prefers Gusto right now, so James owners need to decide if they're holding or moving on. Fourth, Mikel Arteta deployed Merino in an attacking role again for Arsenal, and it's working. He's pushing high up the pitch and could be an interesting budget option. Finally, Josh King was benched for Burnley, which dents his appeal despite their decent fixtures. Monitor Scott Parker's team selections closely.
Top three transfers in. Number one, Trossard at six point nine million pounds. Ownership has jumped from point seven percent with over three thousand transfers in. He started and played ninety minutes against Sunderland, scoring once and picking up two bonus points for nine total points. That's his second goal of the season to go with two assists, and he's averaging four point four points per game. Arsenal face decent fixtures ahead, and at under one percent ownership before this week, he's a brilliant differential in midfield. He's on penalties when he plays, and Arteta is rotating his attackers, so when Trossard starts, he's involved. Verdict: Good option, especially if you want Arsenal coverage without breaking the bank.
Number two, Mbeumo at eight point four million pounds. Ownership has exploded to thirty point seven percent with over eighty one thousand transfers in. Now listed as a Manchester United midfielder in this data, he started and scored against Tottenham, taking his tally to five goals and one assist this season. He's averaging five point five points per game with eight point two expected points for Gameweek twelve. The man is on fire, playing as an advanced forward in Thomas Frank's system. With United's fixtures improving, he's an essential asset who combines explosive potential with consistent returns. Verdict: Essential. If you don't own him, you're taking a massive risk.
Number three, Ballard at four point six million pounds. Ownership at two point five percent with over twelve thousand transfers in. The Sunderland defender started and played ninety minutes against Arsenal, scoring once and assisting once for ten points total. That's two goals and one assist this season for a four point six million defender. He's averaging five point four points per game, which is incredible value. Sunderland's defence isn't the best, but Ballard gets forward constantly, especially from set pieces. At that price, he's a brilliant enabler who can actually return points. Verdict: Good option if you need funds elsewhere and want a defender who attacks.
Top three transfers out. Number one, Jurrien Timber at six point one million pounds. Ownership is twenty five point seven percent, but over eight thousand have already moved him out. He played ninety minutes against Sunderland but picked up just one point with no attacking returns. That's still sixty seven points total for the season, averaging six point one points per game, which is excellent. However, Arsenal failed to keep a clean sheet, and Timber's price has risen significantly. If you need funds for other moves or want to diversify your defensive coverage, now might be the time. Verdict: Hold if you can, but selling makes sense if you need the money for upgrades elsewhere.
Number two, Bruno Fernandes at eight point nine million pounds. Ownership at sixteen point two percent with over seven thousand moving him out. He played ninety minutes for United against Spurs, registering one assist for five points. That's two goals and three assists this season, fifty points total, but he's expensive at eight point nine million. With Ruben Amorim just taking over at United, there's uncertainty about how the system will change and whether Bruno remains on every set piece. His form score of five point five isn't inspiring for a player at that price. Verdict: Sell if you need funds, but monitor Amorim's first few matches to see his role.
Number three, Mohammed Kudus at six point four million pounds. He didn't feature at all for West Ham against Burnley, which is a massive concern. No injury has been officially announced, but his absence from the squad entirely suggests either fitness issues or a potential disciplinary problem. West Ham's fixtures aren't great either, and Nuno Espirito Santo's attacking options are limited. Until we get clarity on why he missed out, he's too risky to hold. Verdict: Sell. The uncertainty alone makes him a transfer out, and you can reinvest that money into more reliable options.
Differential picks under ten percent ownership. First, Amad at six point three million pounds and one point five percent ownership. He played ninety minutes for United against Spurs, grabbing one assist and three bonus points for eight total. He's operating as an advanced winger under Amorim's new system and looks lively every time he touches the ball. At that price and ownership, he's a brilliant punt if United's attack clicks. Second, Gusto at four point nine million pounds and one point one percent ownership. He started for Chelsea against Wolves, scored once, kept a clean sheet, and earned three bonus points for a fifteen point haul. Chelsea's defence is improving under Maresca, and Gusto is clearly first choice over James right now. Third, Soucek at five point seven million pounds and point two percent ownership. He came off the bench for West Ham and scored once and assisted once in just twenty eight minutes, earning three bonus points for twelve total. West Ham's fixtures improve, and if Nuno starts him, he could be a sneaky pick.
Captaincy and key tip. For Gameweek twelve, Mbeumo is the standout captain choice. He's in ridiculous form, playing as a striker essentially, and United's fixtures are turning. If you want a safer option, Mohamed Salah against Southampton is always reliable. One key tip: watch Manchester United closely this week. Ruben Amorim's first matches will tell us everything about how that attack functions and whether players like Amad, Bruno, or even Rashford become essential again.
