Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL fix. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to dominate Gameweek Twenty-Six. We've got transfer targets, players to ditch, and differential picks that could swing your mini-league. Let's get straight into it.
First, the news bulletin. Gameweek Twenty-Five is wrapped, and we're now looking ahead to Gameweek Twenty-Six with a Tuesday deadline at six p.m. GMT. Key injury news: Liverpool's Szoboszlai picked up a knock in the City game and is expected to miss multiple matches, so avoid any Liverpool midfielders in that price bracket. Meanwhile, Brighton's van Hecke didn't feature against Palace, potentially injured, which impacts their defensive stability. On the positive side, Fulham's Raúl came through unscathed despite concerns, playing seventy-four minutes and grabbing an assist. Suspension alert: several players are now on nine bookings, just one yellow away from a ban, so check your defenders carefully. Finally, Dewsbury-Hall hauled for Everton, but we'll focus on more reliable assets today. Right, let's talk transfers.
Top three transfers in. Number one: B.Fernandes from Manchester United, nine point eight million pounds, owned by thirty-five point one percent. Bruno just bagged ten points in Gameweek Twenty-Five with a goal and two bonus against Spurs, playing the full ninety. He's now on six goals and twelve assists this season, averaging six point four points per game. United face West Ham away in Gameweek Twenty-Six, then Everton at home in Twenty-Seven. Bruno's on penalties, on set pieces, and absolutely central to everything Michael Carrick's side creates. One hundred and seventy-six thousand managers brought him in last week, and that momentum will continue. Verdict: Essential buy. If you don't own Bruno, fix that immediately.
Number two: Gabriel from Arsenal, seven point one million pounds, forty-one point seven percent owned. The Brazilian kept his twelfth clean sheet of the season against Sunderland, scoring six points in Gameweek Twenty-Five. Arsenal face Brentford away on Thursday in Twenty-Six, a tough fixture, but then look at Twenty-Seven and Twenty-Eight: Spurs at home, then Chelsea away. Gabriel's also a goal threat, with three goals this season. At seven point one million, he's premium-priced but offers consistent returns. Ninety-seven thousand transfers in shows the FPL community trusts him. Expected thirteen point six points for Gameweek Twenty-Six. Verdict: Good buy, especially if doubling up on Arsenal defense.
Number three: João Pedro from Chelsea, seven point six million pounds, forty-three point two percent ownership. Now this is interesting. João Pedro grabbed eight points in Gameweek Twenty-Five with two assists against Wolves, playing seventy-four minutes. He's in incredible form, averaging nine point five points per game recently, with nine goals and seven assists this season. Chelsea face Leeds at home in Twenty-Six, a fixture they should dominate under Liam Rosenior. One hundred and fifty-five thousand transfers in last gameweek shows massive confidence. Expected nine point five points next. Verdict: Essential. At seven point six million, he's the best value forward in the game right now.
Now, top three transfers out. Number one: Haaland from Manchester City, fourteen point nine million pounds, sixty-nine percent owned. Yes, he scored and assisted for eleven points against Liverpool, but eighty-one thousand managers sold him last week, and here's why. At fourteen point nine million, he's eating your budget. City face Fulham at home in Twenty-Six, expected five point three points, then Newcastle away in Twenty-Seven. Compare that to João Pedro at half the price with similar output recently. Haaland's still elite, but downgrading him funds two premiums elsewhere. Verdict: Sell if you need funds, hold if your team structure allows it.
Number two: Ekitiké from Liverpool, eight point nine million pounds, twenty-six percent owned. Blanked with just two points against City, playing ninety minutes but completely ineffective. With Szoboszlai injured and Liverpool's attack looking blunt, there are serious concerns. Gameweek Twenty-Six sees Liverpool face Sunderland away, a tricky fixture, then Forest at home in Twenty-Seven. Fifty-eight thousand managers sold him last week. At eight point nine million, you're paying premium money for inconsistent returns. Verdict: Sell. Move funds to João Pedro or save money with a cheaper forward.
Number three: Bowen from West Ham, seven point seven million pounds, nine point three percent owned. Seventy-two thousand transfers out tells you everything. Despite a clean sheet against Burnley for two points, Bowen's not delivering attacking returns. Eight goals and three assists all season with points per game of four point six isn't good enough. West Ham face Manchester United at home in Twenty-Six, a horrible fixture, then Bournemouth away in Twenty-Seven. Expected just six point two points next. Verdict: Sell. Too expensive for what he offers.
Differential picks time. Under ten percent ownership. First up: Raúl from Fulham, six point two million pounds, one point nine percent owned. Got five points against Everton with an assist and clean sheet, playing seventy-four minutes. Fulham face City away in Twenty-Six, skip that, but then Sunderland and Spurs in gameweeks Twenty-Seven and Twenty-Eight. Six goals and five assists this season, and at six point two million, he's a bargain enabler who can actually return. Differential alert.
Second differential: Armstrong from Wolves, five point five million pounds, literally zero percent owned. Just got four points with an assist against Chelsea, playing the full ninety. Budget enabler who's nailed and can facilitate other moves. Wolves face Forest away then Crystal Palace in the next two. At five point five million, he's bench fodder who might surprise. Worth a punt if you need to free up funds.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek Twenty-Six: João Pedro against Leeds at home. Chelsea should destroy Leeds, and Pedro's hauling every week. If you're feeling brave, B.Fernandes away at West Ham is the safer option given his consistency. Stick with João Pedro for the ceiling, Bruno for the floor.
One key tip: Don't panic sell Haaland unless you desperately need the funds. He's still Haaland. But if your team structure is broken, downgrading him to João Pedro unlocks your entire squad. Make that move count.
