Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail your Gameweek 36 transfers before Saturday's ten o'clock deadline. Let's go.
Right, quick news bulletin to kick things off. Nott'm Forest had four previously injured players named on the bench in Gameweek 35, which is huge for their squad depth heading into a crunch Gameweek 36 clash against Newcastle. Gibbs-White's situation is one to monitor closely after the Forest manager addressed it in his press conference, so keep an eye on any late updates there. Crystal Palace have a double gameweek, playing both Everton and Man City, and their manager has already been talking about rotation with less than seventy-two hours between fixtures, so be selective with which Palace assets you pick. The deadline is Saturday the ninth of May at ten in the morning, so do not sleep on this one. Get your transfers done tonight.
Now let's get into the transfers. Here are your top three ins for Gameweek 36.
First up, Guéhi from Man City, priced at five point one million pounds with thirty-two point seven percent ownership. He's picked up nearly sixty thousand transfers in this gameweek alone. Man City have a double gameweek, facing Brentford on Saturday and then Crystal Palace on Wednesday. The FPL expected points for Gameweek 36 are a massive fourteen point six. He's got twelve clean sheets this season, five goals, and five assists. At five point one million, this is extraordinary value for a defender with a double. Verdict: Essential. Get him in before that deadline.
Second, O'Reilly, also from Man City, at five point two million pounds and nineteen percent ownership. He's seen over one hundred and sixty-six thousand transfers in this gameweek, making him one of the hottest properties right now. Thirteen clean sheets this season, five goals, and four assists. Expected points of fifteen for Gameweek 36. Two games, great fixtures against Brentford and Crystal Palace. If you're not already on him, this is your last chance. Verdict: Essential. These two Man City defenders could be the difference between winning and losing your mini-league this week.
Third, Casemiro from Man Utd at five point eight million pounds and five percent ownership. He's a slightly spicy pick but hear me out. His form rating is seven point five, one of the highest in the data, and he's racked up nine goals and four assists this season for a midfielder at that price. Expected points of eight for Gameweek 36 away at Sunderland. Nearly sixty-two thousand managers have brought him in this week. He's been consistently scoring and there's real differential value here given his low ownership. Verdict: Good. A solid budget mid option if you need to free up funds for those Man City defenders.
Now your top three transfers out for Gameweek 36.
First, Bowen from West Ham at seven point eight million pounds. Over one hundred and eighty-two thousand transfers out this gameweek, and it's easy to see why. He played eighty-seven minutes against Arsenal and returned just two points. West Ham face Arsenal in Gameweek 36, which is a horrible fixture. His price has dropped two points this week. Despite eight goals and twelve assists this season, the matchup is tough and his value could be better spent elsewhere. Verdict: Sell. Move the funds into those Man City assets.
Second, Virgil from Liverpool at six point one million pounds. Over one hundred and twenty-four thousand transfers out this week. He only got one point in Gameweek 35, and Liverpool face Chelsea in Gameweek 36. That Chelsea side just beat Nott'm Forest three-one in Gameweek 35, so they're not without threat. With forty-seven goals conceded by Liverpool this season, the defensive record is a concern. His expected points are just six for next week. Verdict: Sell if you need the funds. Hold only if you're light on transfer budget.
Third, Thiago from Brentford at seven point three million pounds. Now, he got a goal and a clean sheet in Gameweek 35, so don't panic sell. But over two hundred and twenty-three thousand managers moved him out this week. At thirty-three point five percent ownership, he's been a season-long asset with twenty-two goals, but Brentford travel to Man City in Gameweek 36, one of the tougher fixtures around. His expected points drop to five for that game. Verdict: Hold if you've got him, but don't buy in now with that fixture incoming.
Right, let's get into the differentials. These are your under ten percent picks that could haul big in Gameweek 36.
Awoniyi from Nott'm Forest at five point two million pounds and just zero point three percent ownership. Sixteen points in Gameweek 35, two goals, one assist, and three bonus points. Forest host Newcastle in Gameweek 36, and with that kind of form, he's impossible to ignore. Incredibly low ownership makes this a game-changing differential. The risk is minutes, but if he starts, the ceiling is enormous.
Next, Igor Jesus from Nott'm Forest at five point nine million pounds and two point three percent ownership. He got five points in Gameweek 35, scoring once before being substituted at half time. Six goals and six assists this season. Forest at home to Newcastle is a decent fixture, and Forest have been in red-hot form. Two Forest forwards as differentials might feel bold, but that team is flying right now.
And finally, Groß from Brighton at five point six million pounds with just two point eight percent ownership. Nearly twenty-nine thousand transfers in this week. Brighton host Wolves in Gameweek 36, a fantastic home fixture. He's got an expected points return of seven for Gameweek 36. Five assists this season at that price. An underrated budget mid who could chip in with a goal or assist against a leaky Wolves side.
Captaincy pick. It has to be Guéhi or O'Reilly from Man City. Two games, strong fixtures, and expected points in the double digits. If you want a premium option and you've got Salah or a big forward, they could work too, but the Man City double gameweek is where the captain armband should be pointing this week. One key tip: if you've got a chip saved, the double gameweek structure with Man City's brace of fixtures makes this a strong week to consider using it.
