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 get your Gameweek twenty-nine team absolutely nailed. Deadline is Tuesday the third of March at six pm, so let's get straight into it.
Right, the rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, Wolves were absolutely solid in Gameweek twenty-eight, beating Aston Villa two-nil at Molineux. Watkins started for Villa but couldn't find the net, and crucially Tolu was benched - that's a big red flag for FPL managers holding him. Wolves now face Liverpool in Gameweek twenty-nine, a tough ask, but they've shown real defensive resilience. Second, Mosquera is approaching a suspension after picking up another booking, so keep an eye on that situation before the deadline. Third, Rogers blanked again - if you haven't already, this might be the week to cut ties and reinvest that cash. And fourth, the Arsenal versus Chelsea fixture in Gameweek twenty-nine is a spicy one - both teams clash at the Emirates on Wednesday the fourth of March. Mikel Arteta's side host Liam Rosenior's Chelsea, and with Brighton also welcoming Arsenal... wait, Brighton host Arsenal in Gameweek twenty-nine on the fourth of March too, so Arsenal assets face a tough double fixture to navigate. Plan wisely.
Now let's get into the transfers. Three players you should seriously consider bringing in for Gameweek twenty-nine.
First up, Rice from Arsenal, priced at seven point five million pounds, owned by thirty-three point two percent. He's been consistently recommended and for good reason. Rice has twelve clean sheets this season, four goals, and eight assists. He's averaging five point six points per game with five point three expected points next gameweek. Arsenal face Brighton away in Gameweek twenty-nine, which isn't easy, but Rice's all-round contribution makes him one of the most reliable midfielders in the game. He's also seeing more transfers in than out this week. Verdict: Good. If you don't have him yet, now is the time.
Next, Konaté from Liverpool, priced at five point five million pounds, owned by just four point one percent. He's flying under the radar but absolutely shouldn't be. Nine clean sheets this season, averaging four point two points per game, and he's projected for six point four expected points in Gameweek twenty-nine when Liverpool host West Ham on Saturday. Liverpool have been defensively excellent under Arne Slot, and Konaté is a key part of that. Two thousand four hundred and twenty-five transfers in this week tells you managers are waking up to this one. Verdict: Essential. Get him in.
Third, Hill from Bournemouth, priced at just four point one million pounds with six point five percent ownership. Three assists and four clean sheets this season, with a form score of five point eight - one of the best in the data we're looking at. He's got five point eight expected points for Gameweek twenty-nine when Bournemouth host Brentford, which is a very winnable home game for Andoni Iraola's side. Nearly four thousand transfers in this week. For four point one million pounds, he is exceptional value at the back. Verdict: Essential. A must-have budget defender.
Now the three players to consider moving on.
First, if you're holding Tolu, the news from Gameweek twenty-eight is clear - he was benched for Wolves versus Aston Villa. With Wolves now facing Liverpool in Gameweek twenty-nine, there's no guarantee of a start. If your premium budget spots are taken up by a player who isn't even starting, you need to act now. Verdict: Sell.
Second, if you're still holding Rogers despite the continued blanks, this is your sign. Blanking again this week, the points just aren't coming. With better options at similar price points, there's no reason to keep persisting. Verdict: Sell. Reinvest in Konaté or Hill and you'll be laughing.
Third, Szoboszlai at Liverpool - priced at six point eight million pounds with nine point two percent ownership. His form score is only three point two, and while Liverpool have been defensively strong, his personal attacking output hasn't matched his price tag recently. He has four goals and just two assists all season. With eight thousand one hundred and forty-five transfers in this week, he's getting popular, which actually caps your differential advantage. If you can use that budget elsewhere, it might be worth considering a swap. Verdict: Hold for now if you have him, but don't panic buy.
Right, let's talk differentials. These are the players under ten percent ownership who could seriously haul in Gameweek twenty-nine.
First, J.Gomes from Wolves, priced at five point three million pounds and owned by just zero point three percent. He was absolutely electric in Gameweek twenty-eight against Aston Villa, bagging a goal, an assist, and the maximum three bonus points for fourteen points in total. He played the full ninety minutes. Yes, Wolves face Liverpool next, but at that ownership level, if he fires again, the differential points are priceless. A high-risk, high-reward pick. Worth watching.
Second, Madueke at Arsenal, priced at six point eight million pounds with just one point two percent ownership. He's listed as a midfielder but is playing in an Arsenal side that's defensively excellent - twelve clean sheets for Rice tells you about that defensive structure. His form score is four point eight and he has five point eight expected points for Gameweek twenty-nine. Arsenal face a tough fixture, but Madueke's upside in terms of attacking play makes him a very interesting differential if he starts against Brighton. At one point two percent ownership, the upside is enormous.
Third, Adli at Bournemouth, priced at five point four million pounds with just zero point seven percent ownership. Three goals and two assists this season, with Bournemouth hosting Brentford in Gameweek twenty-nine. He's flying under almost everyone's radar. If Andoni Iraola's side get a clean sheet and he contributes going forward, at that price and ownership, he's gold dust.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek twenty-nine. It has to be Rice. Arsenal's consistency this season has been extraordinary, with Rice at the heart of everything. Twelve clean sheets, eight assists, four goals - he contributes across every metric. Brighton away isn't the softest fixture, but Rice's floor is incredibly high, and his ceiling is one of the best in the game. He gets the armband from us this week.
One key tip - keep a very close eye on the Arsenal versus Chelsea build-up. Madueke is a Chelsea player who has moved to Arsenal according to the current data, so Arsenal assets are looking very attractive across the board heading into Gameweek twenty-nine. Double up on Arsenal if you can.
