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.
Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL fix. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, we're cutting through the noise to prepare you for Gameweek Twenty One. The deadline is Tuesday evening at six thirty pm, so let's get straight into what matters.
First, the injury bulletin. Liverpool's Ekitiké has a hamstring problem and is officially doubtful with a seventy five percent chance of playing. That's a huge concern for his thirty three point six percent ownership. He didn't feature in the two two draw with Fulham, and with Arsenal away on Thursday, this is looking like a bench situation at best. Monitor the press conferences closely.
Staying with that Fulham match, there's positive news from Manchester United. Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount both came through the one one draw at Leeds unscathed after recent injury concerns. Bruno played the full ninety minutes and looks nailed for the Burnley fixture on Wednesday night.
And finally, Burnley's four million pound keeper Dúbravka had a nightmare performance in the two nil defeat to Brighton, conceding twice and reportedly picking up a knock. With just three clean sheets all season and thirty nine goals conceded, even at bargain basement price, he's becoming hard to justify. Monitor his availability for the Manchester United match.
Now, your top three transfers in for Gameweek Twenty One.
Number one: Thiago from Brentford. Six point nine million pounds with ownership jumping to twenty seven point nine percent. He just hauled seventeen points at Everton with a perfect hat trick, playing the full ninety minutes. That's fourteen goals in twenty games this season, averaging five point four points per game. Brentford face Sunderland at home on Wednesday, and the form is undeniable. Verdict: Essential. If you don't own him, you're chasing points already.
Number two: Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle. Seven point one million pounds with seventeen point four percent ownership and climbing. He bagged ten points against Crystal Palace with a goal, a clean sheet, and two bonus. That's seven goals and four assists this season from midfield, averaging five point six points per game. Newcastle host Leeds on Wednesday, who've looked vulnerable defensively. The Magpies are flying, and Bruno is the orchestrator. Verdict: Good option if you have the funds. Premium midfielder delivering premium returns.
Number three: Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa. Eight point seven million pounds with ten point seven percent ownership rising fast. He scored in the three one win over Nottingham Forest, playing eighty two minutes and picking up seven points. That's his seventh goal of the season, and Villa face Crystal Palace away on Wednesday. Unai Emery's side are finding rhythm at the perfect time. Verdict: Good, especially if you're lacking premium forward depth. But monitor the fixture swing after Gameweek Twenty One.
Now, the three players being shipped out.
First up: Ekitiké from Liverpool. Nine point one million pounds and his ownership has cratered from over thirty three percent as nearly three hundred thousand managers sold him this week. Zero minutes against Fulham with that hamstring issue looming. Yes, he has eight goals this season, but being doubtful before Arsenal away is a red flag. Verdict: Sell if you need the funds. If you can afford to hold and have decent bench cover, wait for clarity, but the risk is high.
Second: Jurrien Timber from Arsenal. Six point three million pounds with ownership at twenty seven point seven percent but over one hundred and twenty eight thousand transfers out. Just three points in Gameweek Twenty despite Arsenal's form. Eight clean sheets this season is solid, but Arsenal face Liverpool away on Thursday. That's not a clean sheet fixture, and at six point three million, you need attacking returns he's not consistently providing. Verdict: Hold if you have other fires to put out, but he's not essential anymore.
Third: Richarlison from Spurs. Six point four million pounds with seven point eight percent ownership declining. Two points against Sunderland, failing to find the net or create. Seven goals and three assists this season sounds decent, but three point seven points per game isn't cutting it at that price. Spurs face Bournemouth away on Wednesday, and with his inconsistency, there are better options. Verdict: Sell. The funds can be better used elsewhere.
Time for differential picks under ten percent ownership.
First, Raúl Jiménez from Fulham. Six point two million at just two percent ownership. He picked up five points with an assist in the Liverpool draw, playing eighty four minutes. Four goals and four assists this season, and Fulham host Chelsea on Wednesday. Marco Silva's side are creating chances, and at this price with this fixture, he's an intriguing punt.
Second, Amadou Mané from Wolves. Just four point five million pounds and point four percent owned. He exploded for twelve points against West Ham with a goal, an assist, a clean sheet, and three bonus. Vitor Pereira has transformed Wolves defensively. They face Everton away on Wednesday, and at that price, he's the ultimate differential enabler.
Captaincy for Gameweek Twenty One: it has to be Thiago from Brentford. Hat trick hero, home fixture against Sunderland, in red hot form. If you're feeling bold, Bruno Guimarães against Leeds is your differential armband. But don't overthink it.
One key tip: with fixtures coming thick and fast, prioritize players with strong upcoming schedules. Check Gameweeks Twenty Two and Twenty Three before making transfers. Those double and triple gameweek rumors are getting louder.
