Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail your Gameweek twenty-eight transfers before Friday's deadline at six thirty PM. Let's go.
Right, news time. Gameweek twenty-seven is done and dusted, and what a round it was. Arsenal absolutely dismantled Spurs four-one at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — Thomas Frank's side are in real trouble. Liverpool edged past Nottingham Forest one-nil, keeping the pressure on at the top. Man City beat Newcastle two-one, and Fulham had a brilliant day away at Sunderland, winning three-one. Everton also claimed a one-nil win over Man Utd courtesy of a tight defensive performance. Chelsea could only draw one-one with Burnley at home, which won't impress Liam Rosenior.
On the injury front, team news is still trickling through ahead of Friday's deadline, so keep an eye on updates throughout today. J.Timber came off in the Spurs clash at fifty-six minutes with an assist to his name — worth monitoring if he's carrying anything ahead of Arsenal's home clash with Chelsea in Gameweek twenty-eight.
Now let's get into the business end. Transfers in.
First up — O.Dango from Brentford. Five point nine million pounds, just two percent ownership, and he's seeing over one hundred and five thousand transfers in this gameweek — easily the biggest move of the week. He's racked up five goals and five assists this season, with a points per game of four point two. Brentford host Burnley in Gameweek twenty-eight, a fantastic fixture on paper. With expected points of six point three, he's the standout budget midfielder option. Verdict: Essential. Get him in before the price moves.
Next — Lammens, the Man Utd goalkeeper at just five million pounds. Only two point three percent ownership, but he bagged nine points in Gameweek twenty-seven with a clean sheet and two bonus points. He's got five clean sheets this season and forty-eight saves — the saves tally alone makes him a genuine bonus point threat. Man Utd host Crystal Palace in Gameweek twenty-eight, with a difficulty rating of three, and Oliver Glasner's Palace have shown defensive weaknesses on the road. Verdict: Good. A brilliant budget goalkeeper option with upside.
Third — Scott from Bournemouth. Five million pounds, one point two percent ownership, and thirty-two thousand nine hundred transfers in this week. Six points per game form rating, and Bournemouth host Sunderland in Gameweek twenty-eight. Regis Le Bris's side have conceded freely, so Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth could well keep a clean sheet here. Seven clean sheets this season tells you this is a defensively solid unit. Verdict: Good. Excellent budget enabler with clean sheet potential.
Now the transfers out.
J.Timber — Arsenal, six point four million pounds, twenty-eight point four percent ownership. Nearly one hundred and ninety-eight thousand managers are shipping him out this week, and it's easy to see why. His form rating has dropped to three point four, he came off at fifty-six minutes against Spurs, and Arsenal face Chelsea in Gameweek twenty-eight — a tough fixture with Chelsea rated a difficulty of five for this one. Twelve clean sheets this season is impressive, but with rotation risk and a brutal matchup, the timing to sell is now. Verdict: Sell.
Sarr from Crystal Palace at six point four million pounds. Three point eight percent ownership, but thirty-three thousand nine hundred and forty-four transfers out this week say it all. Only two points in Gameweek twenty-seven, and Crystal Palace travel to Man Utd in Gameweek twenty-eight — Michael Carrick's side at Old Trafford. Palace's attacking returns have dried up, and Sarr's form has dipped to four point eight. Verdict: Sell. Redirect those funds to better assets.
B.Fernandes from Man Utd. Nine point nine million pounds, thirty-seven point four percent ownership, and nearly thirty-eight thousand transfers out this week. Despite a brilliant season with six goals and twelve assists, he blanked in Gameweek twenty-seven with just two points. At nearly ten million pounds, that's a costly blank. Man Utd hosting Palace is a decent fixture, but with cheaper high-ceiling alternatives available, he's becoming hard to justify if you need the funds. Verdict: Hold for now if you have the budget balance elsewhere, but consider selling if you need the cash for O.Dango or premium upgrades.
Differential picks now. Three quick-fire options under ten percent ownership.
Scott I've already mentioned, but also look at Adli from Bournemouth. Five point four million pounds, just zero point seven percent ownership. Three goals and two assists this season, sixty-five minutes played in Gameweek twenty-seven, and Bournemouth have that juicy home game against Sunderland. If Scott is the safe bet, Adli is the differential from the same backline. Neat double-up potential.
Second differential — M.Fernandes from West Ham. Five point five million pounds, just zero point five percent ownership. One hundred total points this season, four goals, three assists, and a points per game of four point zero. West Ham host Liverpool in Gameweek twenty-eight which is tough on paper, but the forward fixture run is improving. Under half a percent ownership makes this a genuine differential for those chasing mini-league rivals. Worth a speculative punt.
Finally, Groß from Brighton. Five point five million pounds, just zero point one percent ownership. Brighton host Nottingham Forest in Gameweek twenty-eight — Sean Dyche's Forest have been defensively sound but lack attacking punch. Fabian Hurzeler's Brighton will fancy this at home. Groß went the full ninety in Gameweek twenty-seven and brings set-piece involvement. Tiny differential with real upside.
Captaincy pick and one key tip.
Haaland is the captain. Fourteen point eight million pounds, sixty-seven point four percent ownership, and seven point three expected points for Gameweek twenty-eight against Leeds. Pep Guardiola's Man City travel to Elland Road — Leeds are rated a difficulty of four, suggesting a competitive game, but Haaland has twenty-two goals this season and is in relentless form. He got an assist in Gameweek twenty-seven and his price rose by eight, but you simply can't overlook him. Double up on the armband confidence and back Haaland.
Key tip: the deadline is Friday the twenty-seventh of February at six thirty PM. Don't sleep on O.Dango — over one hundred thousand transfers in signals serious momentum. Get him in before that price rises.
