Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily Fantasy Premier League briefing. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, you'll get everything you need to dominate Gameweek Thirteen. We're talking transfers in, transfers out, differentials, and your captaincy call. Let's go.
Rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, Gabriel is a major doubt for Arsenal with a thigh injury. The Brazilian defender, who's kept seven clean sheets this season, has seen over one hundred and fifty thousand managers ship him out already. Monitor Mikel Arteta's press conference closely. Second, Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo missed their latest fixture through illness according to reports from the Vitality. If you own him at six point nine million pounds, keep an eye on his availability. Third, Manchester United face Everton on Sunday after their midweek European action, with new manager Ruben Amorim settling into Old Trafford. Rotation risk is real across all the big clubs now. Fourth, Marcus Senesi is one booking away from a suspension, something to remember if you're considering Bournemouth defenders. Finally, Newcastle showed attacking intent against Manchester City, and we'll dive into that shortly.
Top three transfers in. Starting with Daniel Muñoz from Crystal Palace at five point eight million pounds. Ownership has jumped to eighteen point six percent after his fourteen-point haul in Gameweek Twelve. He started and played the full ninety minutes against Brighton, scored a goal, kept a clean sheet, and bagged maximum bonus. That's six clean sheets this season already, plus two goals and three assists. Oliver Glasner has him bombing forward constantly, essentially playing as a winger. Palace face Newcastle, Sunderland, and Manchester City next. Verdict: Good option, especially if you don't own him yet, but be aware that City fixture in three weeks.
Next up, Yankuba Minteh from Brighton at six point one million pounds. Just five point seven percent owned but picked up twenty-five thousand transfers in after his eleven-point return. He started and played eighty-eight minutes against Palace, delivered two assists, and secured maximum bonus points. That's seven assists this season from midfield, giving him genuine attacking threat. Brighton face Fulham, Leicester, and West Ham in the next three gameweeks, all very favourable fixtures under Fabian Hurzeler's attacking system. At six point one million pounds, he's a steal. Verdict: Essential for those looking to free up funds without sacrificing attacking returns.
Third, Harvey Barnes at Newcastle for six point three million pounds. This is the differential play. Just point four percent ownership but he exploded for fifteen points in Gameweek Twelve. Started and played eighty-four minutes, scored twice against Manchester City, and picked up maximum bonus. Three goals this season from limited minutes shows his efficiency. With Newcastle's fixture run including West Ham, Aston Villa, and Liverpool, Eddie Howe might give him more starts. He's dropped two points in price this season, making him affordable. Verdict: Wait and see. One big haul doesn't guarantee consistent minutes, but if he starts again, he's a bargain.
Top three transfers out. First, Gabriel from Arsenal at six point five million pounds. This one's straightforward. He's injured with a thigh problem and has no expected return date. Over one hundred and fifty thousand managers have already moved him on. He's been brilliant this season with eighty-one points, seven clean sheets, and was essential at seven point four points per game. But you can't hold an injured defender with no timeline. Arsenal face West Ham next, which would've been a great fixture. Verdict: Sell immediately unless you have other fires to put out. You need that six and a half million pounds working for you.
Second, João Pedro from Chelsea at seven point five million pounds. Massive forty-eight point three percent ownership but he's bleeding managers fast. Nearly seventy thousand transferred him out this week after just one point against Burnley. He played seventy-five minutes, which suggests Enzo Maresca might be managing his minutes. Four goals and three assists this season isn't bad, but at seven point five million pounds, you need more than five points per game. Chelsea face Brentford, Everton, and Fulham next, decent fixtures, but his output hasn't matched his price. Verdict: Hold if you have bigger problems, but if you need funds or consistency, move him on for Minteh or upgrade elsewhere.
Third, Jurrien Timber from Arsenal at six point three million pounds. Twenty-nine point five percent owned and while he's not injured like Gabriel, Arsenal's defensive coverage is uncertain. He blanked in Gameweek Twelve as his team hasn't played yet, but with Gabriel out, Arsenal's defensive structure changes. He's been excellent with sixty-seven points, six clean sheets, two goals, and two assists, averaging six point one per game. But at six point three million pounds, you're paying premium money. West Ham away isn't a guaranteed clean sheet with Gabriel missing. Verdict: Keep if you have no other moves. He's still good value if fit, but if you need to free up funds, there are cheaper defensive options.
Differentials time. Three players under ten percent ownership who could explode. First, Harvey Barnes at six point three million pounds and point four percent owned. We mentioned him earlier but his fifteen-point haul deserves another look. If he keeps starting, he's the ultimate differential. Newcastle's attack is firing. Second, Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest at seven point three million pounds and three point three percent owned. He started and played ninety minutes in Gameweek Twelve, scored, kept a clean sheet under Ange Postecoglou's system, and picked up eight points. Three goals and one assist this season. Forest face Fulham, Everton, and Aston Villa next. Third, Bruno Guimarães at six point six million pounds and three point six percent owned. His ten-point haul came from two assists and bonus against City. Sixty points this season with three goals and four assists. Expected seven points for Gameweek Thirteen. At three point six percent owned, he's a genuine midfield differential with Newcastle's favourable run.
Captaincy and key tip. With Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland likely to dominate the armband again, consider your team structure first. If you own Salah and he's fit, he's the safe captain against Southampton. If you're chasing in mini-leagues, look at differentials like Bruno Guimarães or even Minteh against Fulham. Key tip: Don't panic sell João Pedro yet if you have other moves to make. Use your free transfer wisely. Gabriel's injury is the priority.
