Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes about Gameweek thirty. Transfers, differentials, and the captaincy pick that could make or break your week. Let's go.
Right, rapid fire news to kick things off. First up, Saliba picked up an injury concern in Arsenal's one nil win at Brighton in Gameweek twenty-nine. Keep a close eye on his fitness ahead of the Gameweek thirty deadline on Saturday the fourteenth of March at one thirty in the afternoon. Arsenal's defence has been superb this season so any changes there matter big time for your FPL decisions. Second, Munoz picked up an injury during Crystal Palace's three one thrashing of Spurs in Gameweek twenty-nine. That brace from Sarr stole the headlines but Munoz's fitness could affect Palace's defensive options going forward. Third, Wilson has an injury concern flagged following Fulham's one nil defeat to West Ham. Marco Silva's side face Nottingham Forest away in Gameweek thirty, so monitor that situation carefully. And finally, Dalot was benched for Manchester United against Newcastle. With Michael Carrick's side facing Aston Villa in Gameweek thirty, squad rotation is clearly a factor at Old Trafford right now.
Okay, let's get into the transfers. Three players you should be targeting for Gameweek thirty.
First up, J.Timber from Arsenal at six point three million pounds. Ownership sitting at twenty-eight point three percent with nearly sixty thousand transfers in this gameweek alone. He delivered thirteen points in Gameweek twenty-nine, getting an assist, a clean sheet, and two bonus points. Arsenal host Everton on Saturday the fourteenth and with thirteen clean sheets this season, the defensive returns are consistent and reliable. Six point five expected points for Gameweek thirty. Verdict: Essential. If you don't have Timber, you need him now.
Second transfer in, Sarr from Crystal Palace at six point three million pounds. Only three point five percent ownership and he just scored a brace against Spurs, banking fifteen points in Gameweek twenty-nine. Seven goals this season, and Palace travel to Leeds in Gameweek thirty with a very favourable fixture on paper. Crystal Palace have kept eight clean sheets this season so there's defensive upside too. He was flagged here as a differential just yesterday and now he's delivering at the perfect time. Verdict: Good buy. Get him in while ownership is still low.
Third transfer in, Summerville from West Ham at five point seven million pounds. Just three percent ownership and he put in eleven points in Gameweek twenty-nine, scoring and keeping a clean sheet in the one nil win at Fulham. West Ham face Manchester City at home in Gameweek thirty, which looks tough on paper, but Summerville's recent form is excellent. Five goals and three assists this season at a budget price. Verdict: Good. A strong differential option for those looking to free up funds.
Now the three players you should consider moving on from.
First up, Thiago from Brentford at seven point two million pounds. Ownership is still high at thirty-four point five percent and he's gone two Gameweeks without a goal return, banking just two points in Gameweek twenty-nine despite playing the full ninety minutes against Bournemouth. His form rating has dipped to three point four and his expected points for Gameweek thirty against Wolves is only three point nine. Eighteen goals this season is impressive but the blank drought is becoming a concern. Verdict: Sell. Reinvest that seven point two million into more in-form assets.
Second, Guéhi from Man City at five point two million pounds. Thirty-seven point four percent ownership and he returned just one point in Gameweek twenty-nine as City drew two two with Nottingham Forest. Man City face West Ham away in Gameweek thirty, which isn't the easiest clean sheet opportunity. His expected points drop to four point three and with thirty thousand transfers out happening this gameweek, the market is already moving. Verdict: Sell. Rotate him out for a better defensive option.
Third, Damsgaard from Brentford at five point six million pounds. Despite nearly ten thousand transfers in this gameweek, he returned just three points in Gameweek twenty-nine. Brentford face Wolves away on Monday the sixteenth of March in Gameweek thirty, which is a tough ask. Three goals and four assists this season but the form has cooled with a rating of four point eight. Verdict: Hold if you have him, but don't buy in now. Wait and see.
Differentials. Three under the radar picks that could haul in Gameweek thirty.
Sarr's Palace teammate Wharton at five million pounds and just zero point six percent ownership. He bagged ten points in Gameweek twenty-nine with two assists and two bonus points against Spurs. Six assists this season for a holding midfielder is remarkable. Palace travel to Leeds with a great fixture and Wharton is the creative hub making it all tick. At five million, he's an absolute bargain differential.
Next, Hermansen in goal for West Ham at four point two million pounds and just zero point three percent ownership. He kept a clean sheet against Fulham in Gameweek twenty-nine, earning nine points. Four clean sheets this season and twenty-eight saves. West Ham host Man City in Gameweek thirty, which seems tough, but Nuno Espirito Santo's side have shown defensive resilience of late. If you need a budget goalkeeper switch, Hermansen is your man.
Finally, Rodrigo from Man City at six point three million pounds and only zero point five percent ownership. He scored in the two two draw with Nottingham Forest in Gameweek twenty-nine, returning nine points. Man City travel to West Ham in Gameweek thirty and with expected points of five point five, there's real upside here at low ownership. Pep Guardiola will want a response after that draw.
Captaincy. Palmer from Chelsea is your pick for Gameweek thirty. Ten point six million pounds, sixteen point one percent ownership, and he's in scorching form with nine points in Gameweek twenty-nine. Nine goals this season, nine expected points for Gameweek thirty as Chelsea face Newcastle at home on Saturday. His form rating is nine point zero, the highest of any player in our data today. Newcastle away from home can be vulnerable and Palmer is Chelsea's creative fulcrum. Armband on. One key tip: the Gameweek thirty deadline is Saturday the fourteenth of March at one thirty in the afternoon. Don't get caught out, make those transfers early.
