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 — Gameweek twenty-seven is done and dusted, and the Gameweek twenty-eight deadline hits Friday the twenty-seventh of February at six thirty in the evening. Transfers need to happen fast. Let's get into it.
First up, the rapid-fire news you need right now. Big one to start — Mbeumo limped off during Gameweek twenty-seven. We had him as our captain pick yesterday, so if you followed that advice, fingers crossed the points still came in, but he is now a major injury concern ahead of the Gameweek twenty-eight deadline. Monitor his fitness closely before locking in your captain. Michael Carrick has also been speaking about Šeško, suggesting the striker is being used carefully — he only played thirty-two minutes against Everton but still bagged a goal, so his minutes management is something to watch. Newcastle's Eddie Howe has given updates with concerns around Gordon and Botman — both worth monitoring before the weekend. Liverpool travel to West Ham in Gameweek twenty-eight — a juicy fixture on paper — and Arne Slot's side just beat Nott'm Forest one nil, so confidence is high. Arsenal thrashed Spurs four one away — they host Chelsea in Gameweek twenty-eight, and Chelsea have a difficulty rating of five away from home, so that fixture looks tricky for Blues assets.
Now, it's Wednesday, so we're spotlighting the top defensive contribution performers from Gameweek twenty-seven. Who scored the most defensive points this week?
The standout is O'Reilly from Man City — seventeen points in Gameweek twenty-seven. Two goals, a clean sheet, and three bonus points. This man is an absolute FPL phenomenon. Priced at five million pounds, owned by just seven point six percent, and his expected points for Gameweek twenty-eight are eight point seven against Leeds. Outstanding. Mitchell from Crystal Palace put in eleven points — an assist, a clean sheet, and two bonus points. And Virgil of Liverpool also hit eleven — an assist, clean sheet, and two bonus. Liverpool host West Ham on Saturday, another excellent opportunity.
Right, into the transfers. Here are your top three buys for Gameweek twenty-eight.
Transfer In Number One: O'Reilly, Man City defender, five million pounds, seven point six percent ownership. He scored two goals against Newcastle in Gameweek twenty-seven and has racked up one hundred and seventeen total points this season. Man City face Leeds in Gameweek twenty-eight, and Leeds have conceded heavily. With ten clean sheets, four goals, and three assists this season, O'Reilly is essential. Eight point seven expected points. Verdict: Essential. Get him in immediately.
Transfer In Number Two: Virgil, Liverpool defender, six million pounds, twenty-five point seven percent ownership. Eleven points in Gameweek twenty-seven with an assist, clean sheet, and bonus. Liverpool host West Ham at home on Saturday — a very winnable fixture. Nine clean sheets this season, excellent form at eight point zero, and eight point five expected points next gameweek. If you don't have him, rectify that. Verdict: Essential.
Transfer In Number Three: Hill, Bournemouth defender, four point one million pounds, five point four percent ownership. Almost one hundred thousand transfers in this gameweek — the community has noticed. Six points in Gameweek twenty-seven with a clean sheet. Bournemouth host Sunderland in Gameweek twenty-eight, a very favourable fixture. Form of seven point two, four clean sheets this season, and seven point two expected points next. An elite budget option. Verdict: Essential for the price.
Now your top three transfers out.
Transfer Out Number One: Mbeumo — we recommended him as captain yesterday but that injury is a real worry. With the Gameweek twenty-eight deadline on Friday evening, if there's no positive update on his fitness, you cannot risk him in your side. The uncertainty alone makes him a sell candidate. Verdict: Sell if no positive fitness news by Friday.
Transfer Out Number Two: Wan-Bissaka, West Ham defender, four point one million pounds, four point six percent ownership. Six points in Gameweek twenty-seven — the clean sheet helped — but only two clean sheets all season and a disappointing points-per-game of three point zero. West Ham face Liverpool at home in Gameweek twenty-eight, which is not an appealing defensive fixture. With Diouf at four million pounds outperforming him with nine points this week, the upgrade within the team makes sense. Verdict: Sell.
Transfer Out Number Three: Rayan, Bournemouth midfielder, five point six million pounds, one point nine percent ownership. Only three points in Gameweek twenty-seven despite the clean sheet. Just two goals and one assist all season, and that five point six million price tag feels steep for the returns delivered. With better options available at similar or lower prices, he's hard to justify. Verdict: Sell.
Differential picks — all under ten percent ownership and all capable of a big haul in Gameweek twenty-eight.
First up: Konaté, Liverpool defender, five point four million pounds, three point six percent ownership. Nine points in Gameweek twenty-seven — clean sheet and bonus. Nine clean sheets this season is sensational. Liverpool host West Ham in Gameweek twenty-eight, seven point three expected points. A near-identical profile to Virgil at a lower price point. Forty-three thousand transfers in already this week. If you need a budget Liverpool defensive option, Konaté is your man.
Second: Dalot, Man Utd defender, four point five million pounds, four point seven percent ownership. Seven points this gameweek including a clean sheet and bonus against Everton. Six clean sheets and six assists this season — he contributes at both ends. Man Utd host Crystal Palace in Gameweek twenty-eight, six expected points. Under the radar and genuinely decent value.
Third: Šeško, Man Utd forward, seven point two million pounds, three point eight percent ownership. Came on as a substitute in Gameweek twenty-seven and still scored with three bonus points for eight total. Seven goals this season, Michael Carrick is talking him up, and with Man Utd at home to Crystal Palace, he could start and deliver. Six point three expected points. High ceiling differential if he gets full minutes.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-eight? With Mbeumo's fitness uncertain, the armband has to go to O'Reilly. Man City away at Leeds, eight point seven expected points, two goals last gameweek, and in the form of his life. Straightforward choice this week. Keep an eye on Virgil as a safe alternative — home to West Ham with huge attacking threat from set pieces.
