Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL lifeline. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, you'll get exactly what you need to navigate Gameweek Sixteen. Let's dive straight in.
Rapid-fire news bulletin. Gameweek Fifteen is wrapping up, and the big story is Mohamed Salah being benched again for Liverpool's clash at Leeds, raising serious questions about his contract situation and immediate FPL value. Meanwhile, Liam Delap picked up an injury for Bournemouth in the goalless draw with Chelsea, which could open the door for budget forward Marc Guiu at just four point two million pounds. Elsewhere, Cole Palmer returned to Chelsea's starting eleven after being benched midweek, and he'll be crucial for their fixture against Everton in Gameweek Sixteen. Declan Rice was passed fit for Arsenal's trip to Aston Villa despite injury concerns, though the Gunners lost two-one. Finally, keep an eye on the AFCON situation as several key FPL assets could be departing for international duty soon, potentially affecting availability.
Right, let's talk transfers in. First up, Bruno Guimaraes at six point nine million pounds. He's absolutely flying right now with ten points in Gameweek Fifteen, scoring against Burnley and adding three bonus points. The Brazilian now has five goals and four assists this season with a fantastic form rating of seven point zero. Ownership jumped from ten point nine percent with one hundred and forty-five thousand transfers in. With Newcastle facing Sunderland in the derby next, he's perfectly positioned to continue his hot streak. The verdict? Good buy, especially if you're looking for a premium midfielder alternative.
Next, Phil Foden at eight point five million pounds. The Manchester City playmaker delivered twelve points against Sunderland with a goal, an assist, and a bonus point. That's six goals and two assists this season now, and his expected points for Gameweek Sixteen are a massive ten point three. Ownership has rocketed to twenty-two point four percent with over three hundred and thirty-eight thousand managers bringing him in. City face Crystal Palace away, and Pep Guardiola's men are hitting form at the right time. Verdict? Essential. If you don't have him, you're taking a significant risk.
Third transfer in is Trevoh Chalobah at five point two million pounds. The Chelsea defender earned eleven points in the clean sheet against Bournemouth with three bonus points. That's seven clean sheets this season, impressive defensive numbers from Enzo Maresca's backline. Fifty-eight thousand transfers in this week, and ownership sits at eleven point two percent. Chelsea host Everton next, a fixture they should control. The verdict? Good buy for defensive stability at a reasonable price.
Now, transfers out. First, Thiago at six point nine million pounds. The Brentford forward blanked against Tottenham, managing just two points despite playing the full ninety minutes. While he's got eleven goals this season, his form might be cooling slightly, and Brentford face Leeds away in Gameweek Sixteen, not the easiest fixture. With twenty-eight point seven percent ownership, many are sticking with him, but twelve thousand have transferred out. Verdict? Hold for now, but monitor closely. His underlying numbers remain strong.
Second, Josko Gvardiol at five point eight million pounds. Despite scoring twelve points against Sunderland, there's a concern here. The Croatian has dropped two price points and Manchester City's defence hasn't been reliable enough this season with only four clean sheets from eleven games. Expected points for Gameweek Sixteen are decent at five point five, but defensive assets need consistency. Twenty-nine thousand brought him in after his goal, but City's trip to Crystal Palace could be tricky. Verdict? Sell if you need funds elsewhere. City assets should be focused on attackers.
Third transfer out is Robert Sanchez at four point eight million pounds. The Chelsea goalkeeper earned ten points with a clean sheet and three bonus points against Bournemouth, but his season numbers tell a different story. Just seven clean sheets from fifteen games, and he's dropped two price points already. Thirteen point nine percent still own him, but better goalkeeper options exist at similar prices. Chelsea face Everton next, who scored three goals in Gameweek Fifteen. Verdict? Sell. Upgrade to a more reliable keeper or downgrade for funds.
Differential picks now. Matty Cash at four point seven million pounds is flying under the radar at just seven point six percent ownership. The Aston Villa defender scored against Arsenal for nine points, and that's three goals this season from full-back. Villa face West Ham away next, and Cash offers attacking threat from defence. Another differential is Matheus Nunes at five point three million pounds, owned by just one point four percent. He played ninety minutes in City's clean sheet and has three assists this season. City's fixtures are improving, and he's a cheap route into their attack.
Captaincy for Gameweek Sixteen? Phil Foden is the standout choice. Ten point three expected points against Crystal Palace, he's in red-hot form with twelve points last time out. Manchester City need to build momentum, and Foden is their creative hub under Pep Guardiola. If you want a safer option, Bruno Guimaraes against Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby could deliver, but Foden's ceiling is higher.
One key tip before we wrap: don't panic sell your premiums after one blank. Thiago at Brentford is the perfect example - eleven goals this season means he's proven quality despite a quiet game against Spurs. Form is temporary, class is permanent.
