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 thirty is done, the dust has settled, and Gameweek thirty-one's deadline is this Friday the twentieth of March at six thirty in the evening. Let's get into it.
Right, the news bulletin first. Chelsea have a blank in Gameweek thirty-one — they don't have a fixture, so João Pedro, Palmer, and any Blues assets are sitting on your bench or heading out the door. Plan accordingly. Arsenal also blank in Gameweek thirty-one, meaning Gabriel, Saliba, and Hincapie are all unavailable this week despite their brilliant Gameweek thirty returns. Hold them — don't panic sell — but don't expect points from them on Sunday. Newcastle's Gordon backed up our buy recommendation with eleven points in Gameweek thirty — a goal, a clean sheet, and maximum bonus. He faces Sunderland at home on Sunday, which looks very tasty. And a word on Haaland — reports have emerged explaining why he was substituted in Gameweek thirty. Managers with him should monitor his fitness closely ahead of the deadline. Finally, Semenyo was benched again — we called the sell yesterday and stand by it. Move him on.
Now let's talk transfers in for Gameweek thirty-one.
First up — Gordon from Newcastle. Seven point three million pounds, six point one percent ownership, one hundred and seventy-five thousand transfers in this gameweek. The man delivered the goods — a goal and a clean sheet against Chelsea, bagging eleven points. Now he gets the Tyne-Wear derby at home against Sunderland on Sunday the twenty-second. Newcastle have Eddie Howe's side flying, and Gordon is central to everything they do going forward. Five goals and four assists this season, and in excellent form. We said buy yesterday, he delivered immediately. Verdict: Essential.
Next — O.Dango from Brentford. Six million pounds, three point eight percent ownership, nearly twelve thousand transfers in. He put in a solid Gameweek thirty shift — an assist and three bonus points for eight total. Brentford travel to Leeds on Saturday the twenty-first, a very favourable fixture. He's racked up five goals and seven assists this season — that's outstanding creativity for six million pounds. With such low ownership, he's a brilliant differential who could fire in a big haul. Verdict: Good buy.
Third in — Raúl from Fulham. Six point two million pounds, three point three percent ownership, nearly twenty-two thousand transfers in this week. Fulham host Burnley on Saturday the twenty-first — that's about as good a fixture as you can get. Burnley are rock bottom on form and Fulham under Marco Silva have been solid at home. Eight goals and five assists on the season for Raúl. He only managed two points in Gameweek thirty but should be primed for a bounce-back in a perfect matchup. Verdict: Good.
Now the transfers out for Gameweek thirty-one.
João Pedro from Chelsea. Seven point eight million pounds, fifty point six percent ownership, and sixteen thousand transfers out this week. He's owned by over half the game but Chelsea blank in Gameweek thirty-one — no fixture, no points. He scored just two points in Gameweek thirty, playing the full ninety against Newcastle. He'll be back for Gameweek thirty-two against Man City, and he has been brilliant this season with fourteen goals and nine assists. But if you need funds or have a better option this week, he's your man to shift temporarily. Verdict: Sell if you need the funds this week.
Gabriel from Arsenal. Seven point two million pounds, forty point six percent ownership. Nine points in Gameweek thirty — lovely — but Arsenal blank in Gameweek thirty-one. He has fourteen clean sheets this season and is outstanding value long-term, but he won't score you a single point this Sunday. If you're struggling to field eleven starters for Gameweek thirty-one, consider a temporary sell. But don't ditch him permanently — he's a top asset. Verdict: Hold if you can field a full team. Sell temporarily if you're stuck.
Finally out — Mitchell from Crystal Palace. Five million pounds, two point one percent ownership. He kept a clean sheet and banged six points in Gameweek thirty, which is nice, but Crystal Palace don't have a fixture in Gameweek thirty-one. No game means no points. Eleven clean sheets this season is impressive, but with no fixture this week and seven thousand transfers out already, the market agrees. Verdict: Sell and recycle the funds.
Differentials time — players under ten percent ownership worth targeting.
First — Gomez from Brighton. Just four point nine million pounds and only zero point four percent ownership. Brighton host Liverpool on Saturday the twenty-first in what looks a cracking game. Gomez kept a clean sheet in Gameweek thirty and has seven clean sheets and five goals on the season for a midfielder — remarkable value at that price. Brighton under Fabian Hurzeler have been excellent defensively at times. If you're looking for a cheap midfield differential with clean sheet potential, Gomez is your man.
Second — Diouf from West Ham. Four million pounds flat, two point four percent ownership. West Ham travel to Aston Villa on Sunday the twenty-second. Diouf has six assists this season — elite creativity for a four million pound defender. That's your budget enabler right there. Six assists from a back four player at that price is almost unheard of. Under Nuno Espirito Santo, West Ham have been improving, and Diouf is a constant attacking outlet. At four million, the risk is minimal.
Third differential — Anderson from Nottingham Forest. Five point five million pounds, eight point three percent ownership — just sneaking under our ten percent threshold. Forest travel to Spurs on Sunday. Under Sean Dyche, Forest have been defensively solid, and Anderson has eight clean sheets, two goals, and three assists this season. He's getting nearly thirty thousand transfers in this week, so act quickly before ownership rises and the price shifts.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek thirty-one — Gordon from Newcastle. Home game against Sunderland, he's in red-hot form, just scored last gameweek, and the Tyne-Wear derby tends to bring out the best in him. At only six point one percent ownership, he's also a brilliant differential captain. If you want a safer armband, consider targeting Liverpool assets against Brighton — but for the differential upside, Gordon is our pick.
One key tip — with Arsenal, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, and Newcastle all potentially having blank or disrupted weeks in the coming rounds, now is the time to think about squad structure heading into the double gameweeks. Don't overload on any single team. Spread your assets across Fulham, Brighton, and Newcastle this week to maximise your Gameweek thirty-one ceiling.
