Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail Gameweek Nineteen. We're looking at the Tuesday deadline with some huge Boxing Day team news to digest, plus essential transfer targets for the next forty-eight hours. Let's get into it.
First, the major team news that's shaking up FPL. Bruno Fernandes is out with a hamstring injury and won't return until mid-January. That's seventeen point one percent ownership needing to act fast. Manchester United have confirmed Lisandro Martinez has returned to the starting lineup, but with their manager Ruben Amorim still finding his feet, defensive assets remain risky. Over at Everton, Dewsbury-Hall is rated just twenty-five percent to play against Nott'm Forest in Gameweek Nineteen with a hamstring problem. That's five point one percent ownership sweating on news. Meanwhile, Patrick Dorgu made an instant impact for Manchester United, scoring on his debut and delivering seventeen points against Newcastle. At just four point one million pounds, he's now in two point four percent of squads and rising rapidly. Finally, Diogo Dalot got an assist and clean sheet against Newcastle, playing the full ninety minutes. Eight thousand transfers in already suggest managers are noticing his four point four million pound price tag and attacking threat under the new system.
Now, your top three transfers in for Gameweek Nineteen. First up, Morgan Rogers. Seven point three million pounds with twenty-two percent ownership and twenty-two thousand transfers in already. Rogers has seven goals and three assists this season, averaging five point four points per game with consistent returns. Aston Villa face Arsenal on Tuesday, then have Nott'm Forest at home and Crystal Palace away in the next three. The fixtures turn green and Rogers is Unai Emery's most in-form attacking player right now. Verdict: Essential. You need Villa coverage and Rogers offers it at a price point that frees up funds elsewhere. Get him in before his price rises again.
Next, Patrick Dorgu. Four point one million pounds, two point four percent owned, sixteen thousand transfers in. The new Manchester United defender scored and kept a clean sheet on debut, delivering seventeen points including three bonus. At that price, he's the ultimate enabler who can actually return points. United face Wolves at home in Gameweek Nineteen, then Leeds away. The defensive numbers aren't great yet under Ruben Amorim, but Dorgu offers attacking potential from deep and minutes are guaranteed after that debut performance. Verdict: Good option. If you need funds or a fifth defender who can outscore premiums, Dorgu is your man. Just be aware United's defense is still leaky.
Third transfer in is Matheus Nunes. Five point four million pounds with two point three percent ownership. The Manchester City midfielder has six clean sheets, one goal and four assists this season, averaging five point one points per game. City face Nott'm Forest away then Sunderland away on New Year's Day before hosting Chelsea. Pep Guardiola is rotating heavily but Nunes has played regularly in recent weeks. At five point four million, he's priced as a defender but classified as a midfielder, offering clean sheet potential plus attacking returns. Verdict: Wait. The rotation risk under Guardiola is real, and City's form has been patchy. Only move if you're chasing differential points and can stomach a potential zero.
Now the transfers out you need to consider. First and most urgent: Bruno Fernandes. Nine point two million pounds, seventeen point one percent owned, and forty-eight thousand transfers out already. The hamstring injury rules him out until mid-January minimum. That's three gameweeks where nine point two million sits on your bench doing nothing. Manchester United face Wolves, Leeds, then City. You'd want him for those fixtures, but he simply won't play. Verdict: Sell immediately. Use the funds to upgrade elsewhere or bring in form midfielders like Rogers. Every day you wait, you lose team value.
Second transfer out is Kieran Dewsbury-Hall. Five million pounds with five point one percent ownership. The Everton midfielder picked up a hamstring injury and is rated just twenty-five percent to play against Nott'm Forest in Gameweek Nineteen. He's averaged five points per game this season with four goals and three assists, but David Moyes' side then face Brentford away and Wolves at home. Nearly five thousand transfers out show managers aren't willing to risk it. Verdict: Sell if you own him. The injury risk combined with Everton's inconsistency makes him an easy downgrade to fund moves elsewhere.
Third transfer out is Bruno Guimaraes. Seven million pounds, thirteen point eight percent owned, and hemorrhaging transfers. Newcastle's midfielder managed just two points against Manchester United in Gameweek Eighteen, playing the full ninety but offering nothing. That's five goals and four assists all season, averaging five point one points per game. Eddie Howe's side face Burnley away, then Crystal Palace away. The fixtures aren't terrible but at seven million pounds, you're paying premium prices for mid-range returns. Verdict: Hold for now. If you own him, the fixtures in Gameweeks Nineteen and Twenty aren't bad enough to justify a hit. But don't buy him. That seven million is better spent on Rogers or saved for premium forwards.
Differential time. Two low-owned picks who could explode. First, Lewis Miley. Four point four million pounds with three point two percent ownership. The Newcastle midfielder played ninety minutes against Manchester United and has one goal plus two assists this season. Two thousand transfers in suggest smart managers see the value. Newcastle face Burnley away then Crystal Palace away. At that price, Miley offers a starting midfielder in a decent team with kind fixtures. Second differential: Ruben Dias. Five point seven million pounds, seven point four percent owned. The Manchester City defender has eight clean sheets this season, more than most premium options. City face Sunderland on New Year's Day then Chelsea at home. If Pep Guardiola's defense clicks, Dias is a steal at five point seven million with double-digit haul potential against weaker sides.
Captaincy for Gameweek Nineteen: Morgan Rogers against Arsenal looks risky on paper, but Villa at home have been excellent and Rogers is their focal point. If you're brave, he's your man. Safer pick is Mohamed Salah if Liverpool's fixtures suit, but check your premiums against their opponents and trust form over fixtures right now.
One key tip before we go: Don't panic sell everyone after one blank gameweek. Boxing Day throws up weird results. Focus your transfers on the injured like Bruno Fernandes, not the underperformers who'll bounce back. Save your hits for emergencies.
