Welcome to Who Got The Points? Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to master Gameweek Nine. With the deadline set for Friday at five thirty PM, let's cut through the noise and get straight to the moves that matter.
Right, let's start with the rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, suspension watch for Gameweek Nine. Several players are walking a tightrope on yellow cards, so check your squads carefully before the deadline. Meanwhile, West Ham looked absolutely dreadful in their two nil defeat to Brentford on Monday night, with new manager Nuno Espirito Santo witnessing a performance that screams avoid their assets. On the injury front, we're still waiting on several key updates, but the good news is most of the big hitters seem available for the weekend. Finally, with UEFA Champions League action midweek, rotation could be a factor for the bigger clubs, so keep an eye on those team selections.
Now let's dive into the top three transfers in for Gameweek Nine. First up, Neto at seven million pounds. The Chelsea winger has seen ninety thousand transfers in after his twelve-point haul in Gameweek Eight, taking his ownership to four point four percent. He scored one goal and provided one assist against Brighton, showing exactly why Enzo Maresca rates him so highly. With Chelsea's improved defensive record keeping three clean sheets this season, Neto offers both attacking returns and clean sheet potential. Verdict: Good buy, especially with his favorable upcoming fixtures.
Second transfer in is Mbeumo at eight million pounds. The Manchester United midfielder has attracted nearly one hundred thousand new managers, pushing his ownership to fourteen percent. He found the net in Gameweek Eight for his second goal of the season, adding to his one assist. Under Ruben Amorim's system, he's been given more attacking freedom and it's paying dividends. His expected points for Gameweek Nine sit at five point seven, which is solid value at his price point. Verdict: Essential for those without him, as United's attack is finally clicking.
Our third transfer in is Gakpo at seven point five million pounds. The Liverpool midfielder has seen one hundred and nine thousand transfers in, with ownership now at twelve point eight percent. He scored in Gameweek Eight to take his season tally to three goals and two assists. Playing in Arne Slot's fluid front three, he's benefiting from Liverpool's excellent form. With two clean sheets this season as well, he offers defensive stability too. Verdict: Good buy, particularly with Liverpool's kind fixture run ahead.
Moving to transfers out, let's start with Šeško at seven point three million pounds. The Manchester United forward has suffered twenty thousand transfers out as managers lose patience. He managed just twenty-nine minutes in Gameweek Eight, coming off the bench for a measly one point. With just two goals this season and a concerning drop in minutes, he's fallen down the pecking order under Ruben Amorim. His price has already dropped twice, reflecting his poor form. Verdict: Sell immediately, his game time is too unreliable.
Second transfer out is Sarr at six point five million pounds. The Crystal Palace midfielder has lost twenty-four thousand managers despite his decent form rating of six point seven. He played the full ninety minutes in Gameweek Eight but managed just two points with no attacking returns. While he has three goals and one assist this season, his consistency has been lacking. With Palace's mixed form under Oliver Glasner, there are better midfield options available. Verdict: Hold for now, but monitor closely.
Our final transfer out is Cucurella at six point one million pounds. The Chelsea defender has seen thirteen thousand transfers out despite a recent price rise. He kept a clean sheet in Gameweek Eight but offered nothing in attack, earning just eight points. While Chelsea have kept three clean sheets this season, his attacking returns have dried up with zero goals and two assists. At his price point, you need more than just defensive stability. Verdict: Keep if you have him, but don't buy in.
Now for some differential picks under ten percent ownership. Palhinha at Spurs looks interesting at five point five million pounds with just one point three percent ownership. He scored nine points in Gameweek Eight with an assist and bonus points, showing his attacking potential under Thomas Frank's system. With two goals and one assist this season, he's offering genuine value.
Muñoz at Crystal Palace is another differential at five point six million pounds. Despite thirteen point one percent ownership, he's still relatively under the radar. He bagged ten points in Gameweek Eight with two assists, taking his season tally to one goal and three assists. For a defender offering attacking returns, he's a steal.
Finally, Ugochukwu at Burnley caught our eye. At five million pounds with just zero point one percent ownership, he's the ultimate differential. Ten points in Gameweek Eight with a goal and clean sheet shows his potential under Scott Parker's system.
For captaincy this week, Mbeumo looks the standout option. Manchester United's improved attacking play under Ruben Amorim makes him a solid choice, especially with his current form.
One key tip for Gameweek Nine: with the Bench Boost potentially being optimal this week due to fixture congestion, consider strengthening your bench if you haven't used the chip yet.
