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, the daily FPL news show that cuts through the noise. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek Thirteen is done and dusted, and we've got just hours until the Gameweek Fourteen deadline at six PM on Tuesday evening. Tonight's opening fixtures kick off at seven thirty, so let's get straight into the rapid-fire bulletin, your essential transfers, and the captaincy call that could make or break your gameweek.
Rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, Moises Caicedo is suspended for Chelsea after picking up his fifth yellow card, meaning Ruben Amorim's Manchester United side face one less defensive shield on Thursday night. Ismaila Sarr has picked up an ankle injury for Crystal Palace, ruling him out and forcing many managers into emergency moves. Speaking of injuries, Monday's press conferences brought mixed news across the league. David Moyes confirmed Everton are dealing with multiple fitness concerns ahead of their trip to Bournemouth tonight, whilst Fabian Hurzeler indicated Brighton have a clean bill of health for their Wednesday clash with Aston Villa. Finally, with fixtures coming thick and fast this week, rotation is the name of the game. Pep Guardiola faces Fulham away on Tuesday night, and historically he loves to tinker when games pile up. Plan accordingly.
Right, let's talk transfers. Your top three transfers in for Gameweek Fourteen.
Number one, Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford at eight point seven million pounds. His ownership has rocketed to forty-three point nine percent, and frankly, if you don't own him, you're playing catch-up. In Gameweek Thirteen, he delivered twelve points against Burnley with a goal, an assist, and two bonus points. That's seventy total points this season from just twelve appearances. With Arsenal at home on Wednesday, followed by Spurs and Everton, the fixtures turn very tasty indeed. Brentford under Keith Andrews are scoring for fun, netting three goals in their last match. Mbeumo has seven expected points for Gameweek Fourteen. Verdict? Essential. If he's not in your team, fix that before deadline.
Number two, Bruno Fernandes at eight point nine million pounds. Manchester United's talisman saw one hundred and seventy-seven thousand transfers in after his eleven-point haul at Crystal Palace. He played the full ninety minutes, grabbed two assists, and collected maximum bonus for his efforts. That takes him to sixty-three points for the season with five assists already. Under new boss Ruben Amorim, United look revitalized, and they've got West Ham at Old Trafford on Thursday night. The Hammers' defence has shipped goals all season, conceding twenty-four in thirteen games. Bruno's on all set pieces, he's nailed on for ninety minutes, and he's got six expected points. Ownership sits at seventeen point nine percent, so he's not quite template yet. Verdict? Good buy, especially if you're looking to differentiate in midfield while still getting a premium option.
Number three, Yankuba Minteh at six point two million pounds. Brighton's bargain winger has eight point eight percent ownership after one hundred and forty-five thousand managers brought him in. He managed three points in the win at Nottingham Forest, playing eighty-three minutes and keeping a clean sheet. That's sixty-four total points already this season, with seven assists showcasing his creative threat. At just six point two million, he's perfect for those tight budgets. Brighton face Aston Villa on Wednesday, then West Ham, Arsenal, and Manchester City. The fixtures aren't a dream run, but Minteh's underlying numbers are excellent. He's got five point seven expected points. Verdict? Good value buy if you need to free up funds elsewhere. Just be aware Fabian Hurzeler does rotate his wide players.
Now your top three transfers out.
First up, Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea at seven point seven million pounds. He saw sixty-four thousand transfers out after blanking against Arsenal with just two points. Jackson played the full ninety but couldn't find the net in that one-one draw, leaving him on fifty-nine points for the season from nine goals. Here's the issue: Chelsea's fixtures turn brutal. They've got Leeds away on Wednesday, then Bournemouth, Everton, and Newcastle in the next four. Plus, Enzo Maresca has been rotating his forwards when fixtures pile up. At seven point seven million with twenty-four point one percent ownership, he's taking up serious funds. Verdict? Sell if you need to pivot funds. Jackson's talented, but the fixture swing and rotation risk make him droppable right now.
Second, Marc Cucurella at six point two million pounds. The Chelsea left-back managed just one point against Arsenal despite playing ninety minutes. That's torn up his recent purple patch, and with twenty-three point four percent ownership, he's one of the most popular defenders in the game. He's delivered fifty-six total points with six clean sheets, but the Arsenal draw exposed Chelsea's defensive vulnerabilities. Caicedo's suspension for the Leeds game doesn't help either. At six point two million, you can pivot to Liverpool or Arsenal defensive options who have better fixtures. Cucurella faces Leeds, Bournemouth, and Everton next. Verdict? Hold if you've got bigger fires, but he's definitely sellable if you're wildcarding or taking a hit for defensive structure.
Third, Bukayo Saka at ten point one million pounds. Wait, hear me out. He's eighteen percent owned and just delivered five points against Chelsea with an assist. Fifty-four total points from three goals and one assist this season. But here's the concern: that's just one attacking return in his last four games, and at ten point one million, he's your most expensive midfielder. Arsenal face Brentford at home, which sounds great, except Brentford just put three past Burnley and are flying. After that, Arsenal have Aston Villa, Wolves, and Everton. The fixtures are mixed, and Saka's output has been patchy. With Mohamed Salah still firing for Liverpool, many managers are questioning if Saka's worth that premium price. Verdict? Keep if you're committed to Arsenal attack, but if you're thinking of downgrading one premium to upgrade elsewhere, Saka's the candidate. He's not a panic sell, but he's under scrutiny.
Let's pivot to differentials. Three low-owned gems under ten percent that could explode.
First, Enzo Le Fee of Sunderland at four point nine million pounds. Just zero point four percent owned, which is criminal after his thirteen-point haul in Gameweek Thirteen. He scored, assisted, and grabbed three bonus points in that thriller against Bournemouth, playing eighty-five minutes. That's forty-nine total points from twelve games at four point nine million. Sunderland face Liverpool away on Wednesday, which isn't ideal, but then they've got Manchester City, Newcastle, and Brighton. Le Fee's on set pieces for a Sunderland side managed by Regis Le Bris who are competing well in this division. At that price, he's enabler gold with genuine ceiling.
Second, Mikel Merino of Arsenal at five point nine million. One point two percent owned after his nine-point return against Chelsea. Merino scored and played the full ninety, showing he's now locked into Mikel Arteta's midfield. That's thirty-seven points from twelve games with two goals and two assists. Arsenal face Brentford, Villa, and Wolves in the next three, and Merino's getting into dangerous positions regularly. At five point nine million with seven point three expected points for Gameweek Fourteen, he's a sneaky differential for those who want Arsenal coverage without paying Saka money.
Third, Boubacar Kamara at four point nine million pounds. The Aston Villa midfielder is just zero point two percent owned but delivered eleven points against Wolves in Gameweek Thirteen. He scored, kept a clean sheet, and earned three bonus points across eighty-seven minutes. Kamara's playing as a deep-lying midfielder but getting forward under Unai Emery's system. Villa face Brighton away, then Arsenal and West Ham. At four point nine million, he's another budget enabler who can actually return points. Thirty-eight total points already with four clean sheets to his name.
Captaincy time. The armband goes to Bryan Mbeumo against Arsenal at home. Yes, Arsenal's defence is solid with Mikel Arteta's side having conceded just ten goals this season, but Brentford at home are dangerous. Mbeumo's averaging nearly five points per game, he's on fire with three goals and four assists this season, and he's Brentford's main attacking outlet. Arsenal just drew with Chelsea and have been vulnerable on the road. With Mohamed Salah facing Sunderland away on Wednesday, he's the safe option, but if you're chasing rank or want to be bold, Mbeumo offers explosive differential potential at just seven percent captaincy. Salah's owned by over fifty percent of teams and will be heavily captained, so Mbeumo's your leverage play.
One key tip before we go: with fixtures stacked Tuesday through Thursday, set your team early and double-check your lineup. Nothing worse than missing deadline because you thought you had until Saturday. The Gameweek Fourteen deadline is Tuesday at six PM. Don't get caught out.
