Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL fix. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek twenty-three delivered chaos with Liverpool losing to Bournemouth, Man United beating Arsenal, and Bruno Guimaraes missing the Newcastle defeat through injury. We're now preparing for Gameweek twenty-four with the deadline Saturday at one thirty pm. Let's get straight into it.
First, the rapid-fire news bulletin. Bruno Guimaraes is listed as doubtful with an ankle injury and seventy-five percent chance of playing after missing Newcastle's loss to Aston Villa. With over two hundred thousand managers transferring him out, this is the biggest story of the week. Monitor team news closely before Liverpool away. Second, Joao Pedro exploded with a goal, assist, and three bonus points in Chelsea's three-one win over Crystal Palace. He's been hauling over two hundred thousand transfers in and looks essential at seven point two million pounds. Third, Nottingham Forest kept another clean sheet, beating Brentford two-nil with Igor Jesus scoring and bagging maximum bonus. Fourth, Watkins scored and kept a clean sheet against Newcastle, returning eight points. Finally, Bowen confirmed he's on penalties for West Ham after converting in their three-one victory over Sunderland.
Now, your top three transfers in for Gameweek twenty-four. First up, Joao Pedro. Priced at seven point two million pounds with twenty-eight point eight percent ownership, he's gained over two hundred thousand transfers this week. The Chelsea forward delivered twelve points in Gameweek twenty-three with a goal, an assist, and three bonus points against Palace. He's now returned in three consecutive matches and has eight goals and four assists this season. Chelsea face West Ham at home on Saturday, then Wolves away in Gameweek twenty-five. At under seven and a half million with elite form, he's explosive value in attack. Verdict: essential buy.
Second, Watkins. The Aston Villa striker costs eight point eight million pounds with thirteen point two ownership and over fifty thousand transfers in. He scored and kept a clean sheet in Villa's two-nil win at Newcastle, earning eight points with two bonus. Watkins has eight goals and two assists this season with superb underlying numbers. Villa host Brentford on Sunday, then face Bournemouth away in Gameweek twenty-five and Brighton away in twenty-six. His fixtures turn excellent and he's averaging six points per game recently. Verdict: good buy for those upgrading forwards.
Third, Enzo Fernandez. At six point seven million pounds with fifteen point two percent ownership, the Chelsea midfielder has gained over one hundred seventy thousand transfers in. He scored against Palace, returning eight points with a bonus, and now has seven goals and three assists this season. Operating in advanced positions for Chelsea, he's returned in four of his last five matches. With Chelsea playing West Ham and Wolves next, he's perfectly placed for points. At under seven million, he offers incredible value for a top-six midfielder in form. Verdict: essential for those without Chelsea coverage.
Moving to your top three transfers out. First, Bruno Guimaraes. The Newcastle midfielder is priced at seven point three million pounds with nineteen point nine percent ownership, hemorrhaging over two hundred sixteen thousand transfers out. He missed the Aston Villa defeat with an ankle injury and is listed as doubtful with seventy-five percent chance of playing. Even if fit, Newcastle face Liverpool away on Saturday evening, then Brentford away, Spurs at home, and Man City away in the next four. The fixtures are brutal and the injury concern is real. At seven point three million, you can't afford a doubt. Verdict: sell now.
Second, Rice. Arsenal's seven point four million pound midfielder with thirty-one point five percent ownership managed just one point against Man United despite playing ninety minutes. Arsenal lost three-two at home, ending their defensive reliability. Rice has blanked in three of his last four matches and while he has ten clean sheets this season, Arsenal's defensive solidity is wavering. With Leeds away next, then Sunderland at home and Spurs away, the fixtures aren't terrible, but at seven point four million, there are better options. With funds tight, downgrading Rice funds Chelsea moves. Verdict: sell to fund premiums.
Third, Sesko. The Man United forward costs seven point two million pounds with three point four percent ownership and seven thousand transfers out. He managed just nine minutes off the bench against Arsenal despite United winning three-two. That's three consecutive matches with minimal minutes, suggesting he's fallen down the pecking order under Michael Carrick. United face Fulham at home on Sunday, but if he's not starting, he's dead money at over seven million. There are better forward options at this price point. Verdict: sell immediately.
Your differential picks for Gameweek twenty-four. First, Evanilson at seven million pounds with just two percent ownership. The Bournemouth forward scored and earned two bonus points against Liverpool, returning eight points. He has five goals and three assists this season and Bournemouth face Wolves away on Saturday. With under two and a half percent ownership, he's a genuine differential who's hitting form at the perfect time. Fifty thousand transfers in suggests managers are noticing.
Second, Igor Jesus at five point eight million pounds with one percent ownership. The Nottingham Forest forward scored against Brentford and grabbed three bonus points, returning nine points. Forest kept another clean sheet and face Crystal Palace at home on Sunday. At under six million with Forest's defensive form, he's a budget enabler who can actually return points. Perfect for those needing funds elsewhere.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-four: Joao Pedro against West Ham at home is the standout choice. Twelve points last week, explosive form, and Chelsea are flying under Liam Rosenior. If you want safety, Watkins against Brentford is solid, but Pedro offers the ceiling.
One key tip: Monitor Bruno Guimaraes' press conference on Friday. If he's confirmed out, that's your green light to move him. If he's starting, Liverpool away is still brutal. Either way, have your transfer plans ready.
