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 — Gameweek thirty is done and dusted, the deadline for Gameweek thirty-one is Friday the twentieth of March at six thirty in the evening, and there are some big decisions to make right now. Let's get into it.
First up, the news that matters. Jimenez was benched for Burnley in Gameweek thirty — that's a real concern for anyone holding him, and with Fulham the next opponents for Burnley in Gameweek thirty-one, you need clarity on his status before holding. Also flagged — Gibbs-White came off during Forest's goalless draw with Fulham, so keep an eye on his fitness ahead of a home game against Spurs. Reece James and Timber are both in the news from press conferences this week — both have question marks over their availability, so hold off on any Chelsea or Arsenal defensive investments until we get clearer team news closer to the deadline. And Gudmundsson is banned, which weakens Brighton's options on the right as they host Liverpool on Saturday. Finally — suspensions watch is live for Gameweek thirty-one, so double check any player sitting on four or more yellow cards before you finalize your squad.
Right, let's talk transfers in. Three players you should seriously consider bringing in before Friday's deadline.
First up — Szoboszlai from Liverpool, priced at seven million pounds, owned by twelve point eight percent. He bagged a goal and two bonus points in Gameweek thirty against Spurs — eleven points in total — and nearly sixty thousand managers have already brought him in this week. Liverpool host Brighton in Gameweek thirty-one, a tough fixture on paper, but Szoboszlai's form is undeniable with five goals and three assists this season. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-one sit at six point three. Verdict — Good buy, especially if you need a reliable mid-price midfielder.
Next — Iwobi from Fulham, six point four million pounds, just two point nine percent ownership. He's been on a strong run with a form rating of seven, and Fulham host Burnley in Gameweek thirty-one — that is a one difficulty home fixture, one of the easiest on the board this weekend. He picked up a clean sheet in Gameweek thirty and his expected points for Gameweek thirty-one are seven point five. We highlighted him as a buy yesterday and that verdict stands. Verdict — Good, with a very attractive matchup.
Third in — Cunha from Man Utd, eight million pounds, eight percent ownership. He scored in Gameweek thirty as Man Utd beat Aston Villa three one, and he's now got seven goals and three assists this season. Man Utd travel to Bournemouth in Gameweek thirty-one — a three versus three difficulty fixture — but Cunha's attacking returns under Michael Carrick make him compelling. Over thirty-three thousand transfers in this gameweek back that up. Verdict — Good, if you can afford the eight million price tag.
Now for the transfers out. Three players you should consider moving on from.
First — Eze from Arsenal, seven point two million pounds, eight percent ownership. Wait — Eze is now at Arsenal based on the latest data. He registered just three points in Gameweek thirty with a clean sheet but no attacking returns, and he's seeing ten thousand transfers out this week. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-one show zero, which suggests Arsenal don't have a fixture. If your Arsenal assets aren't returning, this could be the time to cash in and reinvest elsewhere. Verdict — Sell if you need the funds and he has no fixture.
Second — André from Wolves, five point two million pounds, just zero point one percent ownership. Two points in Gameweek thirty, his expected points for Gameweek thirty-one also sit at zero, meaning Wolves don't have a fixture either. There's absolutely no reason to hold here. Verdict — Sell immediately.
Third — J.Gomes from Wolves, five point three million pounds, zero point three percent ownership. Same story — Wolves have no Gameweek thirty-one fixture, so his expected points are zero. He picked up seven points in Gameweek thirty with an assist, which is decent, but without a fixture next week, he's dead weight in your squad. Verdict — Sell.
Now the differentials — players under ten percent ownership who could really haul in Gameweek thirty-one.
Mac Allister from Liverpool — six point three million pounds, just two point four percent ownership. Eight points in Gameweek thirty, an assist and a bonus, and his expected points for Gameweek thirty-one are eight point five. Liverpool versus Brighton, Mac Allister in form — this is a genuine differential that could separate you from your mini-league rivals. Serious upside here.
Petrović from Bournemouth — four point five million pounds, five point three percent ownership. Nine clean sheets this season, six points in Gameweek thirty, and Bournemouth host Man Utd in Gameweek thirty-one. His expected points are five point five and he's made ninety saves this season. At four point five million, he's brilliant value in goal. If you need a budget keeper, look no further.
And finally — Casemiro from Man Utd, five point seven million pounds, three point one percent ownership. He scored in Gameweek thirty as United beat Villa, and he's got seven goals from midfield this season at just five point seven million pounds. That is outrageous value. Man Utd away at Bournemouth in Gameweek thirty-one — expected points of six point three. If you want a cut-price differential who actually finds the net, Casemiro is your man.
Captaincy for Gameweek thirty-one. We went with Flemming last gameweek — this week, the armband goes to Szoboszlai. Eleven points in Gameweek thirty, Liverpool have a home fixture against Brighton, and he's firing on all cylinders right now. If you're not going Liverpool captain, Cunha is your backup option with Man Utd's trip to Bournemouth looking appetising. One key tip — triple up on Newcastle if you can. Eddie Howe's side host Sunderland in a derby clash and the early scout picks are all over this. Newcastle are a fantastic source of clean sheets and attacking returns right now. Isak, Trippier, and a Newcastle midfielder could be the foundation of a huge Gameweek thirty-one score.
