Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail your Gameweek twenty-eight transfers before that Friday deadline. Let's go.
Right, the news first. Big one from Newcastle — Gordon and Hall were rested in Gameweek twenty-seven, but Wissa and Botman have returned to training. That's huge for Brentford and Newcastle owners alike heading into Gameweek twenty-eight. Newcastle host Everton on Saturday, which should be a good fixture for their attacking assets, but if Gordon isn't fully back, temper your expectations. Keep an eye on team news before the Friday deadline at six-thirty in the evening.
Arsenal hammered Spurs four-one in Gameweek twenty-seven — Gyökeres bagged a brace and was absolutely electric. Arsenal face Chelsea on Sunday in what looks like a blockbuster fixture. Chelsea drew one-all with Burnley in Gameweek twenty-seven, and with the difficulty rating showing a five for Chelsea away at Arsenal, it's not the best time to be holding Chelsea assets.
Man City beat Newcastle two-one in Gameweek twenty-seven with O'Reilly absolutely lighting things up. Fulham hammered Sunderland three-one. Liverpool kept their winning form going, beating Nott'm Forest one-nil. These are the teams you want exposure to heading forward.
Finally, the sub-seven million pounds midfield debate is real. Names like Dewsbury-Hall, Anderson, and others are in the conversation. We'll touch on the best options shortly.
Now, the top three transfers in for Gameweek twenty-eight.
First up — O'Reilly from Man City. Five-point-zero million pounds, seven-point-nine percent ownership, and he pulled in a massive three hundred and fifty-six thousand transfers in this gameweek. Seventeen points in Gameweek twenty-seven — two goals and three bonus points. That's right, seventeen points from a five million pound defender. He now has ten clean sheets this season, four goals, and three assists. Man City host Leeds in Gameweek twenty-eight with a difficulty rating of three. Pep Guardiola's side are in ruthless form. At this price and with those numbers, this is absolutely essential.
Second — Gyökeres from Arsenal. Eight-point-eight million pounds, twelve-point-one percent ownership, with almost sixty thousand transfers in this gameweek. Two goals and three bonus in Gameweek twenty-seven against Spurs, thirteen points total. Ten goals this season for the Arsenal forward, and Arsenal host Chelsea on Sunday. Yes, Chelsea away at Arsenal is rated a five — tough for Chelsea — which means Arsenal could well be on the front foot. The expected points for Gameweek twenty-eight sit at seven-point-five. This is a good buy, especially with more big fixtures ahead.
Third — Virgil from Liverpool. Six-point-zero million pounds, twenty-six-point-one percent ownership. Over three hundred and thirty-seven thousand transfers in this gameweek. Eleven points in Gameweek twenty-seven — an assist, a clean sheet, and two bonus points. Nine clean sheets this season, two goals, one assist. Liverpool host West Ham on Saturday, and that home fixture looks very tasty. Expected points of eight-point-five for Gameweek twenty-eight. We flagged this as a buy yesterday, and Virgil absolutely delivered. Essential.
Now the top three transfers out for Gameweek twenty-eight.
First — João Pedro from Chelsea. Seven-point-seven million pounds, forty-seven-point-two percent ownership. Over one hundred and thirty-seven thousand transfers out this week. He scored in Gameweek twenty-seven, grabbing seven points, which is decent, but Chelsea now face Arsenal away in Gameweek twenty-eight — rated a five difficulty. That's brutal. Chelsea drew with Burnley, drew with Leeds, and Liam Rosenior's side just can't keep clean sheets consistently. Eleven goals and eight assists this season is a great return, but the fixtures are turning. The verdict — sell if you can reinvest into Arsenal or Liverpool assets. Hold if you're short on transfers.
Second — Palmer from Chelsea. Ten-point-six million pounds, sixteen-point-eight percent ownership, with over seventy-four thousand transfers out this week. Only three points in Gameweek twenty-seven and eight goals this season. The same fixture concern applies — Chelsea away at Arsenal is a very tough ask. His expected points for Gameweek twenty-eight are eight-point-seven, which is surprisingly optimistic given the fixture, but the FPL community is clearly moving on. Sell. Reinvest in a Gunner.
Third — Anderson from Nott'm Forest. Five-point-four million pounds, six-point-two percent ownership. He picked up five points in Gameweek twenty-seven but only thanks to a clean sheet. One goal and three assists all season. Forest travel to Brighton on Sunday in Gameweek twenty-eight with Sean Dyche's side rated a three for difficulty. It's not a disaster, but with Brighton in decent form under Fabian Hurzeler after beating Brentford two-nil in Gameweek twenty-seven, the clean sheet odds aren't great. Hold if you have him, but don't chase this one.
Now for our differential picks — all under ten percent ownership.
Lammers from Man Utd. Five-point-zero million pounds, two-point-two percent ownership. Nine points in Gameweek twenty-seven — a clean sheet and two bonus. Five clean sheets this season, forty-eight saves. Man Utd host Crystal Palace on Sunday in Gameweek twenty-eight. Michael Carrick's side have quietly been keeping clean sheets and Lammers is fantastic value at this price. Seriously worth a look.
Dewsbury-Hall from Everton. Five-point-zero million pounds, three-point-three percent ownership. Five goals and four assists this season — ninety-seven total points is brilliant value. Everton travel to Newcastle on Saturday. Not the easiest fixture, but at this price, the upside is real. Under the radar, and a genuine differential.
Hermansen from West Ham. Four-point-two million pounds, zero-point-three percent ownership. Ten points in Gameweek twenty-seven — a clean sheet and three bonus. Three clean sheets this season and twenty-one saves. West Ham face Liverpool at home on Saturday, and while it won't be easy, Nuno Espirito Santo's side are dangerous on the counter. Ultra-differential. Only for the brave.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-eight — O'Reilly from Man City. Seventeen points last week, Man City at home to Leeds, and a difficulty rating of three. At five million pounds he's the most explosive captaincy pick in the game right now. If you own him, he's your armband. If not, Gyökeres against Chelsea at home is the premium alternative with seven-point-five expected points.
One key tip — the Friday deadline at six-thirty in the evening catches people out. Get your transfers in early on Friday. With Gordon's fitness uncertain at Newcastle, don't wait on that one.
