Welcome to Who Got The Points? Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to dominate Gameweek Eight.
Let's start with your rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, Haaland continues his incredible scoring streak with nine goals from seven games and has just received a price rise to fourteen point five million pounds. He's now owned by sixty-one percent of managers and shows no signs of slowing down with twelve expected points for Gameweek Eight.
Second, Arsenal defenders are flying high after another clean sheet. Gabriel scored nine points in Gameweek Seven and sits on forty-seven total points for the season. His ownership has jumped to nearly thirty percent as managers pile in ahead of favorable fixtures.
Third, Mohamed Salah is experiencing his worst FPL start in years. Over four hundred thousand managers transferred him out this week as his ownership drops to thirty-nine percent. With just two goals and two assists from seven games, the Egyptian King looks vulnerable.
Fourth, Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes exploded with fourteen points in Gameweek Seven, bagging a goal, assist, and maximum bonus points. At just six point five million pounds and only two percent ownership, he's flying completely under the radar despite thirty total points.
Now let's dive into your top three transfers in for Gameweek Eight.
First, Jurrien Timber at five point nine million pounds. His ownership has rocketed from fourteen percent to eighteen percent with over two hundred and sixty thousand transfers in. The Dutch defender has forty-eight total points from just seven games, averaging six point nine points per game. He's scored two goals and provided two assists while keeping three clean sheets. Arsenal's defensive stability makes him essential at this price point. Verdict: Essential.
Second, Gabriel at six point three million pounds. Nearly two hundred and forty thousand managers brought him in this week, taking ownership to thirty percent. The Brazilian has forty-seven total points with four clean sheets and one goal. His eight point seven expected points for Gameweek Eight against weaker opposition makes him a premium defensive option. Verdict: Essential.
Third, Marc Guehi at four point nine million pounds. Almost one hundred and fifty thousand transfers in have pushed his ownership to thirty-one percent. He's delivered forty-six total points with three clean sheets, one goal, and two assists. At under five million pounds, he offers incredible value for a defender averaging six point six points per game. Verdict: Good.
Now your top three transfers out for Gameweek Eight.
First, Mohamed Salah at fourteen point four million pounds. Over four hundred thousand managers have sold him as ownership crashes from forty-two percent to thirty-nine percent. His form rating of four point five tells the story - just thirty-four total points from seven games with only two goals and two assists. His five point five expected points for Gameweek Eight shows even the algorithm has lost faith. Verdict: Sell.
Second, Jeremy Doku at six point six million pounds. Fifty-two thousand managers transferred him out despite seventy-nine thousand bringing him in. He managed just fourteen minutes in Gameweek Seven and has zero goals this season despite four assists. His inconsistent minutes under Pep Guardiola make him unreliable at six point six million pounds. Verdict: Hold.
Third, Jarrad Bowen at seven point seven million pounds. Thirty-three thousand managers sold him after consecutive disappointing returns. Despite three goals this season, he blanked again in Gameweek Seven playing the full ninety minutes. West Ham's poor form under Nuno Espirito Santo limits his ceiling significantly. Verdict: Hold.
Time for your differential picks under ten percent ownership.
Bruno Guimaraes at six point five million pounds and two percent ownership could be your secret weapon. His fourteen-point haul in Gameweek Seven included a goal, assist, and maximum bonus. With two goals and one assist already this season, he's Newcastle's creative heartbeat.
James Garner at five million pounds offers incredible value at one percent ownership. The Everton midfielder has thirty-three total points with one goal and one assist. His four point seven points per game average at such a low price makes him perfect bench fodder.
For your captaincy pick, Haaland remains the obvious choice with twelve expected points and nine goals from seven games. His consistency at this level is unprecedented.
Your key tip: Arsenal defenders are must-haves with their fixture run improving dramatically. Both Gabriel and Timber offer different price points into their defense.
