Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek twenty-two is wrapping up with a few fixtures still to play, but our eyes are firmly on Gameweek twenty-three, deadline Saturday the twenty-fourth of January at eleven am. We've got transfer targets, captaincy picks, and the differential plays that could swing your mini-league. Let's dive in.
News bulletin time. First up, Bukayo Saka was benched again for Arsenal's goalless draw with Nottingham Forest. Mikel Arteta is managing his workload carefully, rotating him in recent matches. With Arsenal facing Manchester United on Sunday, there's uncertainty around whether he starts. Monitor the team news closely. Second, Patrick Dorgu made an instant impact for Manchester United in the derby, scoring on debut in their two-nil win over City. At just four point two million pounds, he's caught everyone's attention. Third, Gabriel continues his incredible scoring run. He picked up eight points against Forest with a clean sheet and bonus, meaning he's now outscoring Erling Haaland this season. The Arsenal defender is becoming essential. Fourth, Elliot Anderson extended his defensive contribution run for Forest with another clean sheet against Arsenal. He's becoming a sneaky option in that five point three million bracket. Finally, Cole Palmer started for Chelsea despite fitness concerns, playing the full ninety in their two-nil win over Brentford. He remains crucial to their attack.
Now, your top three transfers in for Gameweek twenty-three. Number one: Patrick Dorgu at four point two million pounds. He's seen over fifty-four thousand transfers in after his debut goal and clean sheet against Manchester City, fifteen points total. Playing as a wing-back for Manchester United, he offers attacking potential at budget price. United face Arsenal next, not ideal, but then Fulham away in Gameweek twenty-four. The verdict? Good option if you need to free up funds, but wait one more week if you can afford it.
Number two: Bruno Fernandes at nine point two million pounds. Over one hundred and fifty thousand managers brought him in after his masterclass in the number ten role against City. He grabbed an assist, clean sheet, and two bonus points for ten total. With nine assists this season already, he's the creative hub under Ruben Amorim. Arsenal away is tough, but his underlying numbers are exceptional. Verdict? Essential for the run-in, especially with Fulham and Spurs to follow.
Number three: Bryan Mbeumo at eight point one million pounds. Seventy-one thousand transfers in after his goal and nine points at Old Trafford. He's moved to Manchester United and immediately looks at home, scoring in his debut. Seven goals this season shows his finishing quality. Arsenal next is difficult, but his price and form make him compelling. Verdict? Good transfer, especially if you're backing United's improved form.
Let's flip to the top three transfers out. Number one: Martin Ødegaard at seven point eight million pounds. Nearly four thousand managers are selling after a disappointing return. He played fifty-six minutes against Forest, blanking for just one point. Only one goal this season from sixteen appearances is concerning for a player at that price. His expected points are decent, but the output isn't matching. Verdict? Hold if you own him, Arsenal's fixtures improve, but don't buy right now.
Number two: Kelleher at four point six million pounds. Over two thousand transfers out despite being Brentford's number one. He conceded two against Chelsea for just one point. Five clean sheets this season from twenty-two games isn't great. Brentford face Nottingham Forest next, then Aston Villa. Their defensive record has dropped. Verdict? Sell if you need funds, better goalkeeper options exist at that price.
Number three: Bukayo Saka at twelve point one million pounds. He didn't even make it off the bench against Forest. Arteta's rotation is making him unreliable despite his quality. When he plays, he's brilliant, but predicting starts is impossible right now. Manchester United away next adds to the uncertainty. Verdict? Keep if you have him, his ceiling is too high to sell, but don't buy until rotation settles.
Differential picks now, all under ten percent ownership. First, Pascal Struijk at four point three million pounds and just zero point four percent owned. The Leeds defender kept a clean sheet against Fulham for six points. Four clean sheets this season and Leeds face Everton away next, a winnable fixture. At that price, he's a bench enabler with potential. Second, Ethan Ampadu at four point nine million pounds, zero point one percent owned. The Leeds midfielder grabbed an assist and clean sheet against Fulham for seven points, including two bonus. Playing deep, he's involved in build-up play. Everton away could bring another return. Third, Nathan Collins at five million pounds, three point seven percent owned. The Brentford defender is in red-hot form with seven point five form rating. He blanked against Chelsea but faces Forest next where defensive returns are possible. Nearly fifteen thousand brought him in this week.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-three? It has to be Mohamed Salah against Bournemouth away. Liverpool are in the title race, Bournemouth's defence is leaky, and Salah is the most consistent captaincy option in the game. If you're feeling brave, Bruno Fernandes against Arsenal could be a differential armband, but Salah is the safe play.
One key tip: Don't panic over Arsenal's blank against Forest. Their defensive assets like Jurrien Timber and William Saliba remain excellent long-term holds. Timber has twenty-eight percent ownership for good reason, ten clean sheets this season. Focus on the bigger picture, not one gameweek.
