Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily Fantasy Premier League briefing. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to dominate Gameweek twenty-two. Let's jump straight in. Right, quick news bulletin. Nine Premier League players have been eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals and are now available for Gameweek twenty-two selections, so check your squads if you've been waiting on African internationals. The big injury concern is Hugo Ekitiké at Liverpool. He's listed as doubtful with a hamstring problem and only has a seventy-five percent chance of playing against Burnley this weekend. With over two hundred and ninety-one thousand managers shipping him out already, this is a red flag situation. And finally, Gameweek twenty-two kicks off Saturday at half twelve with the Manchester derby, so get those transfers locked in before the eleven o'clock deadline on Saturday morning. Now, let's talk transfers in. First up, Thiago at Brentford. Seven point one million pounds, thirty-four point three percent ownership, and over four hundred thousand transfers in this week. The Brazilian baller bagged a brace in Gameweek twenty-one against Sunderland, taking his season tally to sixteen goals. That's elite numbers for a forward under eight million pounds. Brentford face Chelsea away on Saturday, and while that's not ideal, Thiago has six expected points for the fixture. The Bees are in decent attacking form and their talisman is absolutely essential at this price point. Verdict: Essential. Get him in if you haven't already. Next, Bruno Guimarães at Newcastle. Seven point two million pounds, twenty-one point six percent ownership, and nearly two hundred and eighty-seven thousand transfers in. Bruno delivered an eleven-pointer in Gameweek twenty-one with a goal and assist in that thriller against Leeds. That's eight goals and five assists for the season from midfield. Newcastle travel to Wolves on Sunday, and Bruno has six expected points against a shaky Wolves defence. The Magpies are flying and Bruno is their creative heartbeat. For a mid-priced midfielder, he's offering premium returns. Verdict: Essential. One of the best value picks in FPL right now. Third transfer in is Nathan Collins at Brentford. Five million pounds, just three percent ownership, and ninety-four thousand brave souls bringing him in. Collins hauled thirteen points in Gameweek twenty-one with an assist, clean sheet, and two bonus points against Sunderland. That's outstanding for a five million pound defender. He's got eight expected points for Gameweek twenty-two. Now, Brentford face Chelsea which isn't a great fixture, but Collins is a threat from set pieces and the Bees have kept five clean sheets this season. At this price with attacking potential, he's a solid differential if you need defensive cover. Verdict: Good option, especially if you're chasing in mini-leagues. Now, transfers out. Top of the list, Hugo Ekitiké at Liverpool. Eight point nine million pounds, twenty-six percent ownership, and two hundred and ninety-one thousand transfers out. The hamstring injury is the obvious concern here. Zero minutes in Gameweek twenty-one, marked as doubtful, and Arne Slot won't rush him back with Liverpool's fixture congestion. Even if he's passed fit for Burnley at home, there's rotation risk. With so much quality in the forward line at similar prices, you can't afford passengers at eight point nine million. Verdict: Sell. Too much uncertainty and capital tied up. Next, Phil Foden at Manchester City. Eight point seven million pounds, thirty-four point one percent ownership, and over three hundred thousand managers bailing out. Foden managed just two points in Gameweek twenty-one, playing seventy-two minutes in that one-all draw with Brighton. He's got seven goals and two assists this season, which is decent, but City's form is patchy and Pep Guardiola's rotation is a nightmare. Foden has four point three expected points for the Manchester derby, but United at Old Trafford is tough. At eight point seven million, you're paying premium money for inconsistent returns. Verdict: Sell if you need funds. Hold if you're using him as a City asset and can't afford Haaland. Finally, Martin Ødegaard at Arsenal. Seven point eight million pounds, two point five percent ownership, and modest transfer activity. Ødegaard played seventy-seven minutes in that goalless draw with Liverpool, picking up three points for the clean sheet. He's got just one goal and three assists all season. For seven point eight million pounds, that's nowhere near good enough. Arsenal face Nottingham Forest away on Saturday evening, which is tricky, and Ødegaard simply isn't delivering the attacking returns you need from a midfielder at this price. There are better Arsenal assets like Gabriel or better midfield options elsewhere. Verdict: Sell. Poor value for money. Right, differential picks for the brave. First, Matheus Nunes at Man City. Five point five million pounds, four point six percent ownership. The Brazilian started and played seventy-two minutes in Gameweek twenty-one and has six point seven expected points for the derby against United. Seven clean sheets this season plus four assists from defence makes him a genuine attacking threat. If you need a City defender and want to be different, Nunes offers route one access. Second differential, Caoimhin Kelleher at Brentford. Four point five million pounds, nine point six percent ownership. Massive thirteen-pointer in Gameweek twenty-one with a clean sheet and bonus point. He's making saves, keeping Brentford tight at the back, and at four point five million, he's budget-friendly with upside. Brentford face Chelsea which isn't ideal, but Kelleher has six point eight expected points and could easily grab save points. Third, Alisson Becker at Liverpool. Five point four million pounds, six percent ownership. Ten points in Gameweek twenty-one with a clean sheet and three bonus against Arsenal. Liverpool face Burnley at home on Saturday, and Burnley are struggling. Alisson has five point five expected points and should be good for a clean sheet. At five point four million with Liverpool's favourable fixtures coming up, he's a premium goalkeeper worth considering. Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-two. It's got to be Thiago at Brentford. Away at Chelsea isn't perfect, but he's in red-hot form with sixteen goals, and Brentford are scoring for fun. Six point seven expected points and proven consistency make him the safe captain pick. One key tip: Watch that Manchester derby deadline. It's early Saturday at half twelve, so if you're planning moves around City or United players, don't leave it late Friday night.
