Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm here to get you ready for Gameweek 8 in the next seven minutes. The deadline is Saturday morning at ten AM, so let's dive straight into what you need to know right now. We've got Arsenal flying high after another big win, some serious injury concerns across multiple clubs, and three massive transfer moves that could make or break your gameweek. Plus differential picks that nobody's talking about yet. Let's get started. Right, breaking news first. Arsenal's Jurrien Timber is now fit and firing after his assist in Gameweek 7, making him a serious defensive option at five point nine million pounds. Bruno Guimaraes exploded with fourteen points last gameweek including a goal and assist, putting Newcastle's midfield maestro firmly back on the radar. Chelsea's Moises Caicedo has been flying under the radar but just scored his third goal of the season and sits at perfect value. Manchester City's Tijjani Reijnders is being heavily sold after a quiet performance, creating a potential opportunity. Finally, injury watch - most Premier League players returned safely from international duty, but keep an eye on Friday's press conferences for any late fitness concerns. Now your top three transfers in for Gameweek 8. First up, Jurrien Timber at five point nine million pounds. Ownership has rocketed to eighteen point seven percent after sixty-four thousand transfers in. The Arsenal left-back has three clean sheets this season and just grabbed his second assist of the campaign. With Arsenal's defensive solidity under Mikel Arteta and attacking threat from full-backs, Timber offers premium returns at mid-price value. Verdict - good buy if you need Arsenal coverage. Second transfer in, Bruno Guimaraes at six point five million pounds. Just two point two percent ownership despite being Newcastle's creative hub. The Brazilian midfielder has four clean sheets, two goals and one assist this season, averaging five points per game. His fourteen-point haul in Gameweek 7 reminded everyone why he's capable of explosive returns when Newcastle click. With six point zero expected points for Gameweek 8, he's seriously underowned. Verdict - essential differential buy. Third transfer target, Moises Caicedo at five point eight million pounds. Ownership up to fifteen point four percent after nearly four hundred and fifty thousand transfers in this week. The Chelsea midfielder has scored three goals already this season while providing defensive stability with two clean sheets. At five point eight million pounds with Chelsea's fixtures improving, he offers genuine goal threat from midfield. Verdict - good buy for Chelsea triple-up strategies. Now the top three transfers out. First on the chopping block, Tijjani Reijnders at five point eight million pounds. Ownership still massive at thirty-two point six percent but one hundred and seventy-seven thousand managers sold this week. The Manchester City midfielder managed just three points in Gameweek 7 despite playing seventy-five minutes. His underlying stats suggest regression is coming after an unsustainable early season run. With Pep Guardiola's rotation risk always present, better value exists elsewhere. Verdict - sell if you need the funds. Second transfer out, Alex Iwobi at six point five million pounds. Just one point six percent ownership but those who own him are questioning the investment. The Fulham midfielder has one goal and two assists this season but managed only two points in Gameweek 7 despite playing eighty-five minutes. At six point five million pounds, he's not providing enough consistent returns for his price bracket. With better mid-price options available, he's an easy sell. Verdict - sell for better value. Third transfer out consideration, Marcos Senesi at five point zero million pounds. Despite twenty-five point five percent ownership, he's showing signs of fatigue. The Bournemouth defender kept three clean sheets this season but has conceded eight goals recently. His attacking returns have dried up with no goals and just two assists. With Bournemouth's fixtures toughening and defensive fragility showing, he's no longer essential at five million pounds. Verdict - hold if you have him, but don't buy. Time for differential picks under ten percent ownership. First differential, Donyell Malen at five point one million pounds with just zero point seven percent ownership. The Aston Villa midfielder exploded for fifteen points in Gameweek 7 with two goals and maximum bonus. Under Unai Emery's attacking system, he's finding space in the final third consistently. At five point one million pounds, he's incredible value if he maintains this form. Second differential, Ryan Sessegnon at five point four million pounds with zero point one percent ownership. The Fulham midfielder scored nine points in Gameweek 7 with a goal and two bonus points. Marco Silva is using him in advanced positions, and his pace creates problems for defenses. At five point four million pounds, he's perfect budget enabler material. Third differential, Benjamin Sesko at seven point three million pounds with five point two percent ownership. The Manchester United striker scored nine points in Gameweek 7 including a goal and clean sheet bonus. Under Ruben Amorim's system, he's finding regular chances and has two goals this season. At seven point three million pounds, he offers premium striker upside at mid-tier pricing. For captaincy in Gameweek 8, Mohammed Kudus leads the conversation. The Tottenham midfielder has thirty-three point nine percent ownership, seven expected points, and just delivered twelve points with a goal and assist under Thomas Frank's attacking system. One key tip - don't chase last week's points blindly. Players like Malen and Sessegnon had great games, but verify their long-term prospects before transferring them in.
