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.
Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to get your Gameweek thirty-two squad sorted. Transfers, differentials, captaincy, and today's defensive hero special. Let's go.
Right, rapid fire news first. Salah is confirmed to be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. Big news, but does it change anything for Gameweek thirty-two? He faces Fulham at home on Saturday, so there could be one last hurrah in him. Keep that in mind. Next up, Chalobah is out until the second of May with an ankle injury. If you still have him, get him out immediately. He's not playing again this season. J.Timber is doubtful for Arsenal with an ankle issue, seventy-five percent chance of playing. Arsenal host Bournemouth on Saturday and that fixture is tasty, but Timber's fitness is a concern with a quarter chance he misses it. Finally, Damsgaard at Brentford is also doubtful with a knock ahead of their home game against Everton. And check those suspension lists before the deadline on Friday the tenth of April at five thirty in the afternoon.
Now, today's special theme. It's Wednesday, which means we're shining the light on defensive contribution points from Gameweek thirty-one. And the standout performer? N.Williams from Nott'm Forest. He was absolutely electric. Ninety minutes played, two assists, a clean sheet, and three bonus points. Fifteen points total. Sean Dyche's Forest side thrashed Spurs three-nil, and N.Williams was at the heart of everything going forward from left back. At just four point seven million pounds and only two point nine percent ownership, this lad is criminally underowned. He's racked up eight clean sheets this season, three assists, and one goal. For Gameweek thirty-two, Forest host Aston Villa. A tougher test, but the underlying defensive structure is solid. This is a must-discuss asset.
Gordon at Newcastle also put in a strong Gameweek thirty-one showing. Eighty-eight minutes, one goal, three bonus points, ten points total. Newcastle lost to Sunderland two-one, so no clean sheet, but Gordon delivered on the attacking end regardless. Seven point four million pounds, seven point three percent ownership. His Gameweek thirty-two fixture sees Newcastle travel to Crystal Palace. Expected points of seven point five make him very attractive.
And let's not forget B.Fernandes. He played ninety minutes in the Bournemouth draw, scored one, assisted one, three bonus points, thirteen points in total. A midfield monster. He also contributed defensively with his press and interceptions making him the ultimate box-to-box contributor in FPL terms.
Now, transfers in. Three players you should be targeting for Gameweek thirty-two.
First up, Welbeck at Brighton. Six point two million pounds, four point eight percent ownership, and he's incoming with over one hundred and five thousand transfers in this week. In Gameweek thirty-one he scored twice in eighty-two minutes against Liverpool. Two goals, three bonus points, twelve points. He now has twelve goals this season. Brighton face Burnley away in Gameweek thirty-two, which looks very winnable for Fabian Hurzeler's side. Expected points of six point five. Verdict? Essential. Get him in before the price rises.
Second, N.Williams at Nott'm Forest. As we just covered, four point seven million pounds, fifteen points in Gameweek thirty-one, eight clean sheets this season. Over eleven thousand transfers in already this week. He's a budget defensive gem. Forest face Aston Villa in Gameweek thirty-two. Verdict? Good buy. At that price, the upside massively outweighs the risk.
Third, J.Gomes at Wolves. Five point three million pounds, only zero point three percent ownership, but nearly nine thousand transfers in this week. His form rating is eight point zero, his expected points for Gameweek thirty-two are seven point five, and Wolves open the gameweek against West Ham on Friday night. Four clean sheets this season and a growing influence in Rob Edwards' midfield. Verdict? Good. If he starts, he could be a massive differential.
Now, transfers out. Three players to move on.
First, Chalobah at Chelsea. Five point five million pounds, fourteen point one percent ownership. He's out until the second of May with an ankle injury. Over one hundred and eighty-three thousand transfers out already this week. His expected points are zero. There is absolutely no debate here. Sell immediately.
Second, Ekitiké at Liverpool. Nine point three million pounds, thirty-five point six percent ownership. He came off the bench in Gameweek thirty-one, playing just seven minutes after Brighton beat Liverpool two-one. Over one hundred and four thousand managers are already moving him on. His form has dipped to four point eight, and facing Fulham at home in Gameweek thirty-two, the expected points of only five point three suggest limited upside at his price. Verdict? Sell. The premium price just isn't justified right now.
Third, Damsgaard at Brentford. Five point six million pounds, zero point nine percent ownership, and doubtful with a knock. He didn't feature in Gameweek thirty-one and over six and a half thousand managers are already exiting. If you have him, don't wait. Verdict? Sell.
Differential picks now. These are under ten percent ownership and could be the difference makers in your mini-league.
N.Williams we've already covered, but worth reiterating as a differential special. Two point nine percent owned. Fifteen points last gameweek. For under five million pounds, this is an elite differential.
Next, J.Gomes at Wolves. Zero point three percent owned. Wolves face West Ham on Friday and then have a decent run ahead. Seven point five expected points for Gameweek thirty-two. If you want a budget mid who could deliver big, this is your pick.
Finally, Truffert at Bournemouth. Four point seven million pounds, three point two percent ownership. He got an assist in Gameweek thirty-one and has nine clean sheets this season. Bournemouth travel to Arsenal in Gameweek thirty-two, which is a tough fixture, but his expected points of five point eight reflect a solid underlying floor. Nine clean sheets tells you this defence is organised under Andoni Iraola. A sneaky budget option.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek thirty-two. B.Fernandes at Man Utd. Ten point three million pounds, forty-four point three percent ownership. Expected points of nine point seven. Eight goals and seventeen assists this season. Man Utd host Leeds on Monday night, which has four difficulty rating for Leeds. Michael Carrick's side have been flying, winning three-one against Aston Villa in Gameweek thirty and drawing two-two at Bournemouth in Gameweek thirty-one. Fernandes has a goal and assist in both recent games. He is the obvious captain choice this week. One key tip: if you're torn on Timber for Arsenal, the seventy-five percent fitness rating means you might want to wait for press conference updates before the Friday deadline before making a final decision.
