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 to get your Gameweek thirty-five transfers sorted before Friday's deadline at five thirty. Let's go.
Right, into the news bulletin. First up, Cunha is out for Man Utd. He missed the Brentford game in Gameweek thirty-four and his availability for Gameweek thirty-five against Liverpool looks seriously in doubt. If you've got him, you need a plan B. Speaking of Man Utd versus Liverpool on Sunday, that is a must-watch fixture for FPL purposes - two of the biggest attacking threats in the game going head to head.
Next, Sessegnon has picked up a muscle injury and is listed as doubtful for Gameweek thirty-five with a seventy-five percent chance of playing. He scored and kept a clean sheet in Gameweek thirty-four, but that injury concern drags his expected points for Gameweek thirty-five right down to three. Risky hold.
Third, Palmer and Pedro Porro are both fit after the Chelsea win over Man Utd in Gameweek thirty-three. That's good news for Chelsea owners ahead of their Gameweek thirty-five home fixture against Nott'm Forest on Monday the fourth of May.
And finally, big news in the differential world - over thirty percent of FPL managers are reportedly planning to use their Wildcard in Gameweek thirty-five. If you've got yours saved, now might be the time to think seriously about pulling the trigger.
Now let's get into the transfers.
Transfer in number one: Groß, Brighton midfielder, five point five million pounds, two percent ownership. Brighton travel to Newcastle in Gameweek thirty-five and the fixture difficulty rating is a three for both sides. Groß has five assists this season and his form rating of seven point three is eye-catching. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-five sit at seven point eight - the highest of any player in our data today. Nearly nineteen and a half thousand managers have already transferred him in this week. With Brighton's attacking style and Groß being central to their build-up play, he is a serious differential at that price. Verdict: Good buy before Friday's deadline.
Transfer in number two: Dewsbury-Hall, Everton midfielder, five point one million pounds, five point nine percent ownership. He got eight points in Gameweek thirty-four, scoring and adding a bonus point. He's got eight goals and six assists this season, which is exceptional output for a midfielder under five point five million pounds. Now here's the juicy bit - Everton host Man City in Gameweek thirty-five on Monday night. That is a fixture difficulty rating of four for Everton, but Man City are away from home and Everton tend to be harder to break down at Goodison. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-five are seven point two. Nearly twenty-four thousand transfers in this gameweek already. Verdict: Good buy.
Transfer in number three: Muñoz, Crystal Palace defender, five point eight million pounds, eight percent ownership. He scored in Gameweek thirty-four against Liverpool, taking six points despite Palace losing. He's got ten clean sheets, four goals, and three assists this season. Palace travel to Bournemouth in Gameweek thirty-five - fixture difficulty rating three - before a Gameweek thirty-six home match against Everton. That's solid double-gameweek territory for defenders. Nearly thirty thousand transfers in this week. His price has already risen by three this cycle. Verdict: Essential if you're building for the run-in.
Now the transfers out.
Transfer out number one: Sessegnon, Fulham midfielder, five point four million pounds, zero point two percent ownership. Listen, he delivered eleven points in Gameweek thirty-four, which is great, but he's now carrying a muscle injury with only a seventy-five percent chance of playing in Gameweek thirty-five. His expected points drop to just three as a result. Fulham also face Arsenal away in Gameweek thirty-five - a fixture difficulty rating of five for Fulham. That is a brutal assignment even when fully fit. With that injury cloud, the risk is not worth it. Verdict: Sell.
Transfer out number two: Wirtz, Liverpool midfielder, eight point three million pounds, nine point one percent ownership. He got eight points in Gameweek thirty-four with a goal against Crystal Palace, but his form rating of five point three and his expected points of five point three for Gameweek thirty-five at Man Utd tell a different story. Eight point three million pounds is a hefty price for someone averaging four points per game. Liverpool's fixture - away at Man Utd in Gameweek thirty-five - is rated a four for difficulty. If you can move to a higher-ceiling asset at a similar or lower price, now might be the time. His price has dropped by two this cycle. Verdict: Hold unless you have a direct upgrade in mind.
Transfer out number three: Souček, West Ham midfielder, five point seven million pounds, only zero point three percent ownership. He grabbed ten points in Gameweek thirty-four - a goal and three bonus points - which is a nice return, but West Ham travel to Brentford in Gameweek thirty-five with a fixture difficulty of three for West Ham as the away side. Souček's points per game of three point one suggests his Gameweek thirty-four return was a spike rather than form. With only zero point three percent ownership you won't lose ground on your mini-league rivals by selling. Verdict: Sell if you need the funds.
Right, let's talk differentials.
First differential: Casemiro, Man Utd midfielder, five point seven million pounds, four percent ownership. He scored and took three bonus points in Gameweek thirty-four for twelve total. Nine goals and four assists this season for a central midfielder at five point seven million pounds is extraordinary value. Man Utd host Liverpool in Gameweek thirty-five and his expected points are eight point seven. If Cunha remains absent, Casemiro's attacking role could be even more prominent. Under ten percent ownership makes this a genuine differential pick.
Second differential: Ampadu, Leeds midfielder, four point nine million pounds, zero point five percent ownership. Leeds host Burnley in the Gameweek thirty-five opener on Friday night. Fixture difficulty is rated one for Leeds at home - that is as good as it gets. Burnley have been leaking goals all season and Leeds put three past Wolves in Gameweek thirty-three. Ampadu has seven clean sheets and three assists this season. Nearly four thousand transfers in already this week. Expected points of five point five. At four point nine million pounds, he is a brilliant budget enabler especially if you're Wildcarding.
Third differential: Anderson, Nott'm Forest midfielder, five point six million pounds, seven point four percent ownership. He scored and kept a clean sheet in Gameweek thirty-four against Sunderland for nine points. Forest travel to Chelsea in Gameweek thirty-five - fixture difficulty rated three for both. Anderson has ten clean sheets and three goals this season. Forest's defensive structure has been superb and Anderson sits in an advanced midfield role that gives him goal threat. Just seven point four percent ownership. Worth a look.
Now the captaincy pick for Gameweek thirty-five.
Bowen, West Ham forward, seven point eight million pounds, fourteen point seven percent ownership. He got two assists and two bonus points against Everton in Gameweek thirty-four for ten points. Twelve assists and eight goals this season. West Ham travel to Brentford in Gameweek thirty-five, rated three for difficulty, and Bowen is the focal point of everything West Ham do going forward. Expected points of eight point seven. He is the standout armband pick for Gameweek thirty-five. Captain Bowen.
Quick tip: If you're Wildcarding, seriously consider doubling up on Leeds. Their home fixture against Burnley on Friday night with a difficulty rating of one is the best fixture in Gameweek thirty-five. Ampadu plus a Leeds forward could be the differential combination that wins your mini-league this week.
