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.
Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily Fantasy Premier League fix. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, you'll get everything you need to dominate Gameweek twenty-seven. Let's dive straight in.
First up, the news bulletin. Big concern for Manchester City managers as Haaland didn't feature in their FA Cup tie. Pep Guardiola confirmed he's being rested, but with Newcastle away on Saturday, there are rotation fears brewing. Savinho also picked up a knock in that same match, so keep an eye on Friday's press conference. Over at Fulham, Alderete was rested in the FA Cup, suggesting he's nailed for the trip to Sunderland. And finally, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is back in training after injury concerns, which could shake up Everton's attack for their Monday night clash with Manchester United. Right, let's get to the transfers.
Top three transfers in, starting with Bruno Fernandes. Priced at nine point eight million pounds with thirty-six point seven percent ownership, he's gained thirty-four thousand net transfers this week. Bruno played the full ninety minutes in the one-one draw with West Ham, picking up just two points. But here's why he's still in demand. Seven point three expected points against Everton on Monday night, and he's delivered six assists in his last four matches. Everton's defence has been leaky, and Bruno loves a big Monday night performance under the lights at Goodison Park. Verdict? He's a good option if you don't own him, but with that price tag and Everton showing some fight, he's not quite essential.
Next up, Szoboszlai at six point seven million pounds. Ownership sits at five point six percent, and he's picked up forty-three thousand net transfers. Now, he didn't feature in the Sunderland match, coming off the bench in the FA Cup, which suggests Arne Slot is managing his minutes carefully. Seven expected points for the trip to Nottingham Forest is tasty though. Forest have conceded thirty-four times this season, and Liverpool's fixtures turn favourable with West Ham and Wolves in the next three. The concern? He's only returned four goals and two assists all season, so he's more of a squad rotation risk than a guaranteed starter. Verdict? Wait. There are better Liverpool options at this price point.
Third transfer in is Summerville from West Ham. Five point six million pounds, two point six percent owned, and he's gained forty-five thousand net transfers. Played eighty-nine minutes against Manchester United, earning three points with a clean sheet contribution. Seven point two expected points against Bournemouth at home is encouraging. He's got four goals and three assists this season, and West Ham's fixtures include Bournemouth, Liverpool, and Fulham in the next three. The Cherries have been inconsistent defensively, conceding two goals in their last match at Everton. Verdict? He's a good budget enabler if you need funds elsewhere, but don't expect explosive hauls just yet.
Now the transfers out. First, M dot Salah at fourteen million pounds. Ownership has dropped to fourteen point two percent, basically flat with fifty-two net transfers out. He assisted in the Sunderland win and bagged six points, so why are people selling? That price tag is the killer. Fourteen million pounds ties up massive funds, and with just four goals and six assists all season, he's not delivering the explosive returns we expect from premium players. Five expected points against Forest isn't screaming captaincy material either. Verdict? If you own him, hold. But if you don't, there are better ways to spend fourteen million pounds right now.
Second transfer out is Wirtz at eight point four million pounds. Thirteen point seven percent owned, virtually flat on transfers. He played ninety minutes at Sunderland but managed just three points despite Liverpool keeping a clean sheet. The problem? He's blanked in three of his last four matches, returning only four goals and three assists all season. Five point three expected points against Forest is mediocre for an eight million pound midfielder. With Szoboszlai pushing for starts and Luis Diaz looking sharp, Wirtz's place isn't guaranteed. Verdict? Sell if you need funds. He's not providing value at that price point.
Third transfer out, Zubimendi at five point three million pounds. Five point nine percent owned, up six thousand net transfers. He's Arsenal's defensive midfielder, and while he's got thirteen clean sheets this season, he only has five goals and one assist. Two points in the Brentford draw says it all. Five point six expected points for the North London Derby is decent, but he's not an attacking threat. With Arsenal facing Spurs, Chelsea, and Brighton in the next three, there are better five million pound midfielders who actually contribute in the final third. Verdict? Sell. He's a real-life asset, not a fantasy one.
Differential picks now, and we've got three under ten percent owned. First is Casemiro at five point six million pounds, just two point three percent owned. He played ninety minutes against West Ham and has five goals and four assists this season. Five point five expected points at Everton looks solid. The Brazilian has been playing further forward recently, and Manchester United need him to deliver in that Monday night fixture. High ceiling, low ownership.
Second differential is Lacroix from Crystal Palace. Five point one million pounds, six point four percent owned. He played the full ninety at Burnley and has nine clean sheets this season. Four point seven expected points against Wolves at home. Palace have tightened up defensively under Oliver Glasner, and Wolves have scored just one goal in their last two matches. Bonus point magnet too with his defensive contributions.
Third differential, O dot Dango from Brentford. Five point eight million pounds, zero point six percent owned. Played ninety minutes in the Arsenal draw, picking up one point. But here's the angle. Five point five expected points at Brighton, and he's got five goals and five assists this season. Brentford's attack runs through him, and Brighton have conceded four goals in their last match alone. Thomas Frank's side love a goal fest, and Dango is central to everything they create going forward.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek twenty-seven? It's got to be one of the Manchester City attackers against Newcastle. Whether that's Haaland if he starts, or Foden if Pep rotates. Newcastle have conceded five goals in their last two away matches, and City at home are ruthless. Seven plus expected points across the board for their forwards.
One key tip? Don't overlook the double gameweek planning. With Blank Gameweek thirty-four approaching fast after the FA Cup results, start building a squad with teams who'll have doubles. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Newcastle are all looking likely for extra fixtures. Plan ahead now, and you'll avoid panic transfers later.
