Welcome to Who Got The Points, the daily FPL show that cuts through the noise. I'm your host, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to dominate Gameweek Eight.
First, the rapid-fire news bulletin. Two players are walking a disciplinary tightrope heading into Gameweek Eight, sitting on four yellow cards and one booking away from suspension. Rodri's injury concerns continue to linger after Man City's win at Brentford, with Pep Guardiola remaining tight-lipped about the midfielder's availability. Meanwhile, Lewis Hall's injury could open the door for Dan Burn and Sven Botman at Newcastle, with Eddie Howe's defensive options suddenly looking more appealing. Over twenty-five percent of managers are considering a Wildcard for Gameweek Eight, suggesting major squad overhauls are incoming. Finally, Mason Mount's surprise start against Sunderland has raised eyebrows, with Ruben Amorim potentially shaking up his midfield rotations.
Right, let's dive into the top three transfers in for Gameweek Eight. First up, Antoine Semenyo at seven point nine million pounds. His ownership has exploded to fifty-eight point nine percent after picking up eighteen points in Gameweek Seven with two goals, one assist, and maximum bonus points. The Bournemouth winger started and played the full ninety minutes, showcasing his explosive potential under Andoni Iraola's attacking system. With ten point eight expected points for Gameweek Eight, he's averaging nine point four points per game this season. Verdict: Essential. Get him in immediately.
Next, Moises Caicedo at five point seven million pounds. The Chelsea midfielder is flying under the radar at just thirteen point six percent ownership despite banking ten points last gameweek with a goal and maximum bonus. He started and played ninety minutes, proving his place in Enzo Maresca's midfield is secure. At under six million, he offers incredible value with seven point five expected points for Gameweek Eight. Verdict: Good. A smart differential pick with serious upside.
Finally, Jurrien Timber at five point nine million pounds. The Arsenal defender has quietly accumulated forty-eight points across seven gameweeks, delivering eleven points last time out with an assist, clean sheet, and two bonus points. His ownership sits at seventeen point four percent, making him less template than other Arsenal assets. Started and played the full match under Mikel Arteta, with Arsenal's defensive solidity making him a consistent points scorer. Verdict: Good. Solid value in a premium defense.
Now for the top three transfers out. Mohamed Salah leads the exodus at fourteen point four million pounds. Despite thirty-nine point two percent ownership, he's managed just two points in Gameweek Seven and averages only four point nine points per game this season. Over three hundred thousand managers have already shipped him out, with his price dropping. His hefty price tag isn't justified by current output under Arne Slot's system. Verdict: Sell. Free up funds for better value elsewhere.
Phil Foden at eight point one million pounds continues to disappoint at just four points per game. The Manchester City midfielder managed only three points despite playing ninety minutes and keeping a clean sheet. His ownership has remained stable at six point three percent, but his five point three expected points for Gameweek Eight don't justify his premium price under Pep Guardiola's rotation policy. Verdict: Sell. Too expensive for inconsistent returns.
Eberechi Eze rounds out the departures at seven point six million pounds. Now at Arsenal, the midfielder has struggled with just three point seven points per game and twenty-two total points. Despite an assist and clean sheet last gameweek for six points, his form remains patchy at four point five average. His thirteen point four percent ownership suggests many are losing patience with his inconsistency. Verdict: Hold. One more gameweek to prove himself.
For differential picks under ten percent ownership, Ryan Gravenberch at five point seven million pounds offers Liverpool's midfield at bargain basement prices. Just five point nine percent owned, he's banking consistent minutes under Arne Slot and has eight expected points for Gameweek Eight. Ismaila Sarr at Crystal Palace presents attacking potential for six point five million pounds with only six point one percent ownership, fresh from seven points with an assist and bonus. Finally, Josko Gvardiol at five point eight million pounds delivered twelve points last gameweek with Manchester City's clean sheet and an assist, owned by just five point five percent of managers.
For captaincy, Erling Haaland remains the obvious choice despite question marks. Sixty point six percent ownership, twelve expected points for Gameweek Eight, and seventy total points make him essential armband material. One key tip: don't chase last week's points. Semenyo's eighteen-point haul will tempt many, but consistency beats explosiveness in FPL.
