Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL briefing. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek thirteen's deadline hits Saturday at one thirty PM, and we've got transfer targets, differentials, and a crucial captaincy call to nail down. Let's get straight into it.
News bulletin time. Three critical updates for Gameweek thirteen. First up, the Mohamed Salah situation. The Egyptian king blanked in Gameweek twelve with just two points, and more importantly, he's now hemorrhaging ownership with over one hundred and fifty thousand managers selling. Liverpool's fixtures turn after this week, so the mass exodus has begun. Second, Jurrien Timber continues to deliver for Arsenal, picking up another five points in Gameweek twelve with an assist. He's now sitting at an incredible thirty one percent ownership and has returned in four of his last five games. Finally, Bruno Guimaraes exploded into life with ten points against West Ham, grabbing two assists and maximum bonus. Newcastle's fixtures look excellent, and he's suddenly become essential again.
Top three transfers in, starting with Harvey Barnes at six point three million pounds. The Newcastle midfielder just bagged fifteen points with a brace against West Ham, and he's seeing over one hundred and sixteen thousand transfers in. Barnes is playing as a forward in Eddie Howe's system and has three goals this season already. With West Ham at home, he's got eight point three expected points for Gameweek thirteen. The fixtures are prime, and at just one point five percent ownership, he's the ultimate differential who could easily become essential. Verdict? Good buy, but be aware of Newcastle's rotation risk with their European commitments.
Next up, Emiliano Martinez at five million pounds exactly. The Aston Villa keeper has picked up over fifty two thousand transfers in and sits at four point seven percent ownership. Martinez has three clean sheets this season and twenty three saves, showing he's busy behind that defense. Villa face Brentford at home in Gameweek thirteen, and with six expected points, he's a solid pick. The Argentine has been quietly consistent with forty three total points. Verdict? Essential if you're looking for goalkeeper stability at a reasonable price.
Third transfer in is Bruno Guimaraes at six point six million pounds. He's gained eighty four thousand managers after that ten pointer, and rightly so. Bruno has sixty total points already this season, averaging five point five per game. He's got three goals and four assists, plus four clean sheets contributing to that tally. Newcastle face West Ham at home, and he's priced at six expected points. At just four point two percent ownership, he's flying under the radar. Verdict? Essential buy. This is peak Bruno form, and Newcastle's schedule is beautiful.
Top three transfers out now. Mohamed Salah leads the exodus at fourteen point two million pounds. He's lost over one hundred and fifty thousand managers, and it's understandable. Salah scored just two points in Gameweek twelve with ninety minutes played but zero attacking returns. At twenty three point six percent ownership, he's still heavily backed, but that fourteen point two million price tag is crippling team structure. His four goals and two assists for the season aren't matching the premium price. Verdict? Sell if you haven't already. Use that cash to upgrade elsewhere and reinvest when Liverpool's fixtures improve.
Robert Sanchez at four point eight million pounds is the second big mover out. The Chelsea keeper has lost nearly forty thousand managers despite keeping a clean sheet in Gameweek twelve. Sanchez has six clean sheets this season, which is actually decent, but at thirteen point two percent ownership, people are moving on. Chelsea's fixtures aren't terrible, but there are better options at similar prices. Verdict? Hold if you own him. That clean sheet in Gameweek twelve shows he can still deliver, and his price has already dropped twice.
Third transfer out is Casemiro at five point five million pounds. The Manchester United midfielder has lost nineteen thousand managers after getting zero points in Gameweek twelve despite playing fifty seven minutes. Under new boss Ruben Amorim, rotation is a real concern. Casemiro has forty seven total points with three goals and two assists, but consistency is lacking. Verdict? Sell if you need funds. United's midfield is uncertain under Amorim's system, and you can't trust his minutes.
Differential picks time. Three players under ten percent ownership who could explode. First, Harvey Barnes again at six point three million and one point five percent owned. That fifteen point haul makes him the standout differential of the week. Second, Kiernan Dewsbury Hall at four point nine million pounds and three percent ownership. The Everton midfielder just smashed thirteen points in Gameweek twelve with a goal and maximum bonus. He's playing every minute under David Moyes and has two goals and two assists this season. Absolute bargain. Third, Tomas Soucek at five point seven million pounds but only zero point three percent owned. The West Ham midfielder has great underlying stats with six point three form, and he's due a haul.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek thirteen. It's got to be Bruno Guimaraes against West Ham at Saint James' Park. Newcastle are flying, he's in red hot form, and West Ham's defense is leaky. Alternative option? Jurrien Timber if you're feeling bold, but Bruno is the safe premium pick. One key tip? If you still own Salah, this is the week to move him on. Don't wait until his price drops again.
