Your daily dose of Premier League insights - powered by data, driven by AI. From top transfer tips to captain picks, we break it all down in under 10 minutes.
Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily Fantasy Premier League fix. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes as we gear up for Gameweek Twenty-Two. We're breaking down the hottest transfers, the differential picks that could separate you from the pack, and the captain you need to back. Let's get into it.
Right, the news bulletin. Gameweek Twenty-One threw up some drama. Arsenal and Liverpool played out a goalless draw at the Emirates, meaning both defenses locked up clean sheets. Jurgen Timber and Virgil van Dijk both delivered six pointers for their owners. Moving to Manchester City, Rayan Cherki was hauled off after just seventeen minutes against Brighton, coming off the bench and barely touching the ball. He picked up a single point. That's a concern for his sixteen percent ownership. Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes continued his sensational home form, bagging a goal and an assist in the four-three thriller against Leeds. He's now got eleven points and is attracting massive transfer interest. And finally, keep an eye on Spurs defender Micky van de Ven. He blanked at Bournemouth but remains a popular pick at just four point six million pounds. The fixtures ahead look decent.
Now, the top three transfers in for Gameweek Twenty-Two. First up, Bruno Guimaraes. Seven point two million pounds, midfielder for Newcastle. He's had nearly one hundred and ninety thousand transfers in since the deadline. Bruno scored eleven points in Gameweek Twenty-One with a goal, an assist, and a bonus point. His home form is absolutely electric. At Saint James' Park, he's been a points machine, consistently delivering big hauls. Newcastle face Wolves away on Sunday, and while that's not a home fixture, his form is too good to ignore. He's averaging six points per game with eight goals and five assists this season. Verdict? Good. He's not essential just yet, but if you need a dynamic midfielder with goal threat, Bruno is your man right now.
Second, Jurgen Timber. Arsenal defender, six point three million pounds. Over forty-three thousand managers brought him in. Timber kept a clean sheet against Liverpool, picking up six points in the process. Arsenal have shown defensive solidity, and Timber's attacking returns are a bonus. Nine clean sheets this season, plus two goals and four assists. He's playing as an inverted full-back under Mikel Arteta, which gives him license to push forward. Arsenal travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening. Forest have been decent, but Arsenal should have enough quality. Verdict? Essential. At six point three million, he's the perfect balance of defensive security and attacking upside. If you don't own him, get him in.
Third, Florian Wirtz. Liverpool midfielder, eight point two million pounds. Nearly thirty-eight thousand transfers in. Wirtz played the full ninety minutes against Arsenal and kept a clean sheet for three points. Now, that's not a haul, but Liverpool face Burnley at home on Saturday. Burnley have shipped goals all season and look vulnerable. Wirtz has two goals and two assists so far, but his underlying numbers suggest more returns are coming. Expected points of seven for the next game. Verdict? Good. If you can afford him and need Liverpool coverage, Wirtz offers a creative spark. Just be aware he hasn't quite exploded yet, but the fixtures are turning in his favor.
Top three transfers out now. First, Rayan Cherki. Six point eight million pounds, Man City midfielder. Nearly seventy-five thousand managers have shipped him out. Cherki came off the bench for just seventeen minutes against Brighton and picked up one point. That's a disaster for a player with sixteen percent ownership. He's been rotated under Pep Guardiola, and with City's packed schedule, he's a rotation risk. Yes, he has eight assists this season, but if he's not starting, he's not scoring points. City face Man United in the derby on Saturday lunchtime. Verdict? Sell. The rotation risk is too high, and you need players who are nailed on starters. Free up that cash and move to someone more reliable.
Second, Ryan Gravenberch. Liverpool midfielder, five point seven million pounds. Over eighteen thousand transfers out. Gravenberch played ninety minutes against Arsenal but managed just three points from the clean sheet. No attacking returns. He's got ten thousand transfers out, which tells you managers are losing patience. Look, he's cheap at five point seven million, but he's not offering enough attacking threat. Four goals and three assists all season. Liverpool have better options in midfield, and for an extra two point five million, you get Wirtz. Verdict? Sell. Unless you're desperate for budget, move him on and upgrade to a midfielder with more goal involvement.
Third, Micky van de Ven. Spurs defender, four point six million pounds. Thirty-one thousand transfers out. Van de Ven played the full match at Bournemouth but blanked with zero points. Spurs conceded three goals. Now, at four point six million, he's still an absolute bargain, and his seven clean sheets this season show he can deliver. The problem is Spurs' fixtures are mixed. They face West Ham at home on Saturday, which is winnable, but then comes Burnley and Manchester City. Verdict? Hold. If you own him, keep him. That price point is too good to ditch, and one clean sheet gets you six points. But if you don't own him, maybe wait and see how Spurs' defense shapes up.
Differential picks under ten percent ownership. Yasin Ayari, Brighton midfielder, four point eight million pounds, just zero point three percent owned. Ayari assisted in the one-all draw with Man City, picking up five points. He's started consistently and is playing in advanced positions. Brighton face Bournemouth on Monday night, and that's a fixture they should dominate. Two goals and two assists this season, and at four point eight million, he's a perfect enabler with upside. Worth a punt if you need bench fodder who can actually return points.
Second differential, Vitaly Janelt. Brentford midfielder, four point nine million pounds, zero point two percent owned. Janelt assisted and kept a clean sheet against Sunderland, bagging seven points. He's quietly been involved in Brentford's attack, with four assists this season. Brentford travel to Chelsea on Saturday, which is tough, but Janelt's price and form make him an intriguing pick for deeper squad depth. If you're chasing in your mini-league, these low-owned punts could be the difference.
Third differential, Alisson Becker. Liverpool goalkeeper, five point four million pounds, five point nine percent owned. Alisson kept a clean sheet against Arsenal and picked up ten points with three bonus. Liverpool face Burnley at home next, and that's about as favorable as it gets for a goalkeeper. Six clean sheets this season, and Liverpool's defense is solid under Arne Slot. At five point four million, he's premium priced, but if you want set-and-forget goalkeeper security, Alisson is the man.
Captaincy for Gameweek Twenty-Two. It has to be Erling Haaland. Fifteen point one million pounds, seventy-four percent owned. Man City face Man United in the derby on Saturday lunchtime. Haaland scored against Brighton for six points in Gameweek Twenty-One and has twenty goals this season already. United's defense has been shaky, and Haaland thrives in big games. Expected points of seven point three. This is a no-brainer. Captain Haaland.
One key tip. Don't overthink your transfers. Bruno Guimaraes and Jurgen Timber are the two standout moves this week. If you can get both in, do it. If not, prioritize Timber for Arsenal's defensive coverage and attacking potential. Avoid chasing last week's points. Look ahead to the fixtures, and trust the numbers.
