Welcome to Who Got The Points, the daily FPL show that cuts through the noise. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to prepare for Gameweek twenty-five.
Right, let's dive straight into the news bulletin. First up, Arsenal and Wolves have a Double Gameweek twenty-six confirmed, but they'll blank in Gameweek thirty-one. This is crucial for planning. Arsenal face Brentford at home plus another fixture, making their assets highly attractive. Start thinking about how to navigate that blank now. Second, Saka is targeting a Gameweek twenty-seven return, aiming for the north London derby against Spurs. That's still two weeks away, so don't hold a transfer for him just yet. Third, Man City's Dias and Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes both received positive team news from their managers. Pep Guardiola confirmed Dias is fit, whilst Eddie Howe suggested Bruno G should be available for the Brentford clash. Fourth, six new January signings have been priced up, though most are budget options unlikely to make immediate FPL impact. Finally, West Ham's Dorgu picked up a hamstring injury in Gameweek twenty-four and faces an unknown return date. At six point nine percent ownership, over one hundred thirty-two thousand managers are moving him out.
Now, let's talk defensive contribution points from Gameweek twenty-four, because Wednesday means we're celebrating the defenders and midfielders who locked things down. Mukiele from Sunderland delivered a clean sheet and an assist against Burnley, banking nine points. The four point five million defender has now racked up seven clean sheets and five assists this season. Anderson at Nott'm Forest earned seven points with maximum bonus despite the one-all draw with Crystal Palace, playing the full ninety. And Zubimendi, Arsenal's five point two million midfielder, scored and kept a clean sheet in the four-nil thrashing of Leeds, picking up ten points with bonus. These defensive warriors are the unsung heroes of FPL.
Right, transfers. Let's start with who you should be bringing in. Number one, Enzo from Chelsea. Priced at six point eight million with twenty-one point four percent ownership, he's gained over two hundred seventy-three thousand transfers in this week. Started and played ninety minutes against West Ham, scoring once and earning eight points with two bonus. The Argentine has eight goals this season from midfield, which is exceptional output. Chelsea face Wolves away in Gameweek twenty-five, and Wolves have conceded forty-eight goals already. Enzo offers goals, clean sheet potential, and consistency. With Chelsea's fixtures looking decent, he's a superb mid-price midfielder option. Verdict? Good buy, especially if you need Chelsea coverage.
Number two, B dot Fernandes from Man Utd. At nine point six million pounds with thirty-one percent ownership, he's the most transferred-in player this week with over three hundred twenty-seven thousand additions. Played the full match against Fulham, providing two assists for ten points including two bonus. That's five goals and twelve assists this season, elite numbers. Man Utd host Spurs in Gameweek twenty-five, then face West Ham away in Gameweek twenty-six. Bruno's on penalties, set pieces, and everything else. He's Michael Carrick's main man and shows no signs of slowing. However, at nine point six million, he's pricey. Verdict? Essential if you can afford him. The consistency is unmatched.
Number three, Mukiele from Sunderland. Four point five million with thirteen point five percent ownership, gaining forty-six thousand transfers in. We just praised his defensive work, but here's the kicker: five assists this season from a four point five million defender. Started against Burnley, delivering a clean sheet, assist, and nine points. Sunderland face Arsenal away next, tough on paper, but then Liverpool at home in Gameweek twenty-six. Seven clean sheets in twenty-two matches is solid. At this price, he's basically a free enabler who actually delivers. Verdict? Good buy if you need budget defensive cover with attacking upside.
Now, who should you be shipping out? Number one, Dorgu from Man Utd. Four point four million with six point nine percent ownership, hemorrhaging one hundred thirty-two thousand transfers out. Hamstring injury with unknown return date. He's dropped one price level already. Even when fit, rotation risk was high under Michael Carrick. The injury seals it. Verdict? Sell immediately. No point holding an injured four point four million defender who wasn't nailed anyway.
Number two, Barnes from Newcastle. Six point one million with just one point five percent ownership, but he's a trap many avoided. Played seventy-two minutes against Liverpool for two points. Five goals this season sounds decent until you realise he's averaging three point one points per game. Newcastle have tough fixtures coming, facing Brentford at home then Spurs away. At six point one million, you're paying premium prices for inconsistent returns. Verdict? Sell if you own him. Better options exist at this price point.
Number three, O'Brien from Everton. Four point nine million with zero point eight percent ownership. Low owned, but worth mentioning because he's a trap for budget hunters. Got an assist against Brighton for five points, which looks nice. Eight clean sheets this season seems strong. But Everton's defensive record is patchy, conceding twenty-six goals. Their fixtures include Fulham away, Bournemouth at home, then Man Utd away. Defensive returns will be scarce. Verdict? Hold if you own him as enabler, but don't buy in. Better budget options available.
Differential time. Under ten percent ownership gems that could explode. First, Anderson from Nott'm Forest at five point three million with five point one percent ownership. Seven points in Gameweek twenty-four with maximum bonus despite not returning attacking stats. That's defensive contribution gold. One goal and three assists this season, but five clean sheets. Forest face Leeds away in Gameweek twenty-five, then Chelsea at home and Wolves at home after. At this price with this output, he's a sneaky enabler pick.
Second differential, O'Brien from Everton. Yes, I just said sell, but hear me out. Zero point eight percent ownership makes him the ultimate differential. Eight clean sheets is genuinely impressive. If Everton suddenly tighten up defensively under David Moyes, he's positioned for hauls. It's a gamble, but differential picks always are.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-five. Bruno Fernandes against Spurs is the standout. Spurs shipped two goals to Man City and have defensive issues. Bruno's on everything, twelve assists this season, and hauled last week. If you own him, captain him. If not, Salah against Man City in that tasty Sunday clash is your alternative, though that fixture could go either way.
One key tip before we go. Arsenal's Double Gameweek twenty-six is coming. Start planning your transfers now. Getting in J dot Timber, Zubimendi, or Arsenal attackers before their price rises could be crucial. Don't wait until the deadline.
