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, the daily Fantasy Premier League podcast that cuts through the noise and gets straight to the points. I'm your host, and in the next seven minutes, we're breaking down everything you need to prepare for Gameweek Twenty. The deadline is Saturday morning at eleven AM, so let's get straight into it.
Rapid-fire news bulletin time. First up, Bruno Fernandes remains sidelined with that hamstring injury. Manchester United expect him back around the seventeenth of January, so he's missing the Leeds trip and you need him out of your squad. Second, Moises Caicedo picked up a suspension in Chelsea's two-two draw with Bournemouth, ruling him out of the crucial Manchester City clash. That's a blow for Chelsea's defensive stability. Third, Yankuba Minteh suffered an injury in West Ham's two-two draw with Brighton. Monitor his status closely. Fourth, Newcastle injury updates look positive. They demolished Burnley three-one with goals flowing, and Eddie Howe's side face Crystal Palace next. Fifth, Arsenal absolutely demolished Aston Villa four-one in Gameweek Nineteen. Gabriel scored and kept a clean sheet, Trossard grabbed a goal and an assist, and the Gunners are firing again ahead of their trip to Bournemouth.
Right, let's talk transfers in. Top of the list, Gabriel from Arsenal at six point four million pounds. Ownership has exploded to seventeen percent after his fifteen-point haul against Villa. Started seventy-six minutes, scored, kept the clean sheet, and bagged three bonus points. He's now got ninety-seven points this season with eight clean sheets and two goals. The underlying stats are exceptional, averaging seven point five points per game. But here's the problem, Arsenal face Bournemouth away, then Liverpool at home in Gameweek Twenty-One. That's a tough run. Verdict? Good buy for the medium term, but the fixtures aren't perfect immediately.
Next up, Bruno Guimaraes at seven million pounds. Ownership sitting at fourteen point one percent after his ten-point return against Burnley. Played the full ninety, scored a goal, grabbed three bonus points. He's now on ninety-six points for the season with six goals and four assists. Newcastle face Crystal Palace at home next, then Leeds away. Palace have conceded heavily on the road, and Bruno's in the form of his life with five point three points per game average. Expected five point three against Palace. Verdict? Essential. Get him in immediately.
Third transfer in is Morgan Rogers at seven point four million pounds. Now, before you panic about that one-pointer against Arsenal, hold on. Ownership is twenty-four point eight percent, and there's been over one hundred twenty-five thousand transfers in. He's got ninety-three points this season with seven goals and three assists. Villa face Nottingham Forest away in Gameweek Twenty, then Crystal Palace at home in Twenty-One. Forest are leaky, Palace are struggling defensively. Expected six point seven points. Yes, he blanked against Arsenal, but that's Arsenal. The fixtures flip nicely now. Verdict? Good buy, especially with Villa's upcoming run.
Transfers out time. Bruno Fernandes is the obvious one at nine point one million pounds. Ownership down to twelve point six percent with nearly forty thousand transfers out this gameweek. He's got ninety-nine points, which shows his quality, but that hamstring injury keeps him out until mid-January. Zero minutes in Gameweek Nineteen, zero expected against Leeds. You cannot carry an injured nine million pound midfielder. Free up that cash. Verdict? Sell immediately.
Next, Jarrad Bowen at seven point six million pounds. Ownership at seven point five percent. He scored against Brighton for seven points, which looks good on paper, but West Ham face Wolves away, then Nottingham Forest away, then Tottenham at home. Those aren't bad fixtures, but at seven point six million, you're paying premium forward money for inconsistent returns. He's got eighty-four points total with six goals and two assists. Form is five point three. The problem is reliability. Some managers are moving to cheaper forwards or upgrading elsewhere. Verdict? Hold if you have him, but he's not essential.
Third transfer out, Ruben Dias at five point seven million pounds. Ownership seven point four percent. Now this might surprise you because City have good fixtures, but here's the issue. City's defence has been shaky with sixteen goals conceded when Dias has played. Yes, he has eight clean sheets, but at five point seven million with City's inconsistent defensive form, managers are looking at better value options. He faces Chelsea away next, hardly a clean sheet guarantee. Expected five point seven points. With Gvardiol offering more attacking threat at six point one million, Dias feels like the wrong City defender. Verdict? Sell and upgrade or move funds elsewhere.
Differential picks now, all under ten percent ownership. Leif Trossard at six point nine million pounds, just one point two percent owned. Bagged thirteen points against Villa with a goal, assist, and three bonus. He's got seventy-seven points total with five goals and four assists. Playing ninety minutes consistently now. Arsenal face Bournemouth away, where they should dominate. At under two percent ownership, he's a league-winning differential if you're chasing in your mini-leagues.
Matheus Nunes at five point four million pounds, two point five percent owned. City defender with six clean sheets and four assists this season. Eighty points total. Faces Chelsea away, yes, but then Brighton and Burnley at home follow. Expected five point seven points. Cheaper than Gvardiol but offers similar attacking potential from left-back.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin at five point nine million pounds, nine point eight percent owned. Leeds striker with eight goals this season, seventy-eight points. Expected seven point five points against Manchester United. Leeds play at home where they're stronger. At five point nine million, he's an affordable third striker option with real goal threat. Over forty-four thousand transfers in show managers are backing him.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek Twenty? Bruno Guimaraes against Crystal Palace at home. Newcastle are flying, Palace struggle away, and Bruno's on penalties and free kicks. Safe alternative is Alexander Isak in the same fixture, but Bruno offers better value and differential appeal.
One key tip to end. With your second wildcard now available, don't rush to use it. Gameweek Twenty-Five brings a double gameweek for several teams. Hold your wildcard for that unless your squad is completely broken. Be patient and plan ahead.
