Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL briefing. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, you'll get the essential intel for Gameweek twenty-seven. Let's dive straight into what matters for your team right now.
First, the news bulletin. Manchester City's Pep Guardiola withdrew Haaland at half-time in the three nil victory over Fulham. The manager cited rotation and fatigue, but with City facing Newcastle on Saturday evening, monitor team news closely. Bruno Fernandes blanked against West Ham despite ninety minutes, breaking his recent scoring run. Seventeen thousand managers sold him after that performance. Tottenham have sacked Thomas Frank after their one two defeat to Newcastle, ending an eight-game winless run. Expect rotation and uncertainty around Spurs assets until a permanent replacement arrives. Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes continues at an advanced position with Anthony Gordon deployed as a striker, creating fresh attacking potential for both players. Finally, Arsenal have two fixtures this Gameweek, facing Brentford tonight and Wolves next Wednesday, making their players priority targets.
Let's talk transfers in. First up, Palmer at ten point five million pounds. Ownership sits at fourteen point six percent with ninety thousand transfers in this week. The Chelsea midfielder scored one goal and assisted another in the two two draw with Leeds, collecting twelve points including maximum bonus. That's eight consecutive gameweeks with attacking returns. Chelsea host Burnley on Saturday, and Palmer has eight goals and two assists in just fifteen appearances this season. Verdict: Essential. If you don't own him, fix that immediately.
Next, Virgil at five point nine million pounds. The Liverpool defender is flying with twenty-one point one percent ownership and twenty thousand net transfers in. He scored and kept a clean sheet against Sunderland, delivering seventeen points with maximum bonus. That's his eighth clean sheet of the season. Liverpool travel to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, and Virgil has two goals and one hundred eleven total points. At his price, he's the standout defensive asset. Verdict: Essential for any serious team.
Third transfer in, O'Reilly at four point nine million pounds. Just four point six percent owned with nearly eleven thousand transfers in. The Manchester City defender scored his second goal of the season in the three nil win over Fulham, banking thirteen points. He's also collected ten clean sheets and three assists across the campaign. City face Newcastle on Saturday evening in what could be a high-scoring affair, but his attacking potential makes him a bargain enabler who actually delivers points. Verdict: Good option if you need funds elsewhere.
Now for transfers out. First, Bruno Fernandes at nine point eight million pounds. Ownership is thirty-six point five percent but seventeen thousand sold him after Wednesday's blank. He managed just two points against West Ham despite ninety minutes on the pitch. Yes, he has six goals and twelve assists this season, but Manchester United face Everton away on Monday evening under interim manager Michael Carrick. The fixtures turn difficult, and at nearly ten million pounds, that money could unlock Palmer or Haaland. Verdict: Sell if you need funds for better options.
Second transfer out, Wan-Bissaka at four point one million pounds. The West Ham defender has four point four percent ownership and played ninety minutes in the one all draw with Manchester United. He blanked again, collecting just two points. While he has three assists this season, he's managed only one clean sheet in seventeen appearances. West Ham host Bournemouth on Saturday evening, but their defensive fragility makes him a risky punt at any price. Better budget defenders exist. Verdict: Sell and reinvest.
Third transfer out, Matheus Nunes at five point four million pounds. The City midfielder has three point two percent ownership and played fifty-nine minutes against Fulham, grabbing an assist for four points. He's been rotated recently despite seven assists this season. With Guardiola managing minutes and Haaland's status uncertain, predicting City's lineup becomes a minefield. At five point four million pounds, you need guaranteed starters. Verdict: Sell unless you're specifically building around City.
Differential picks now. Martinez at five million pounds and just three point eight percent owned. The Aston Villa goalkeeper kept a clean sheet against Brighton, collecting eight points with two bonus. He's got six clean sheets and sixty-five saves this season. Villa face Leeds at home on Saturday, and at his price, he's a solid rotation option for managers doubling up on goalkeepers. Anderson at five point four million pounds with five point nine percent ownership. The Nottingham Forest midfielder kept a clean sheet in the nil nil draw with Wolves. Forest host Liverpool on Sunday, which looks tough, but he has one goal and three assists this season with consistent minutes. Finally, Aina at four point seven million pounds and just two point three percent owned. The Forest defender kept his third clean sheet of the season against Wolves, banking seven points with bonus. Budget defensive cover who's nailed on.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-seven goes to Palmer. Chelsea host Burnley at home, and he's in sensational form with eight consecutive gameweeks returning. The alternative is Haaland if he's confirmed fit, but Palmer's consistency makes him the safer choice. One key tip: prioritize Arsenal players for their double gameweek. If you don't have Saka or Odegaard, consider sacrificing premium assets elsewhere to bring them in.
