Welcome to Who Got The Points! I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek fourteen is underway with midweek fixtures, and we're breaking down the defensive stars who dominated, plus the essential moves you need to make before the Gameweek fifteen deadline on Saturday at eleven AM. Let's dive straight in.
Rapid-fire news bulletin. Michael Keane remains doubtful for Everton with that knock, missing their one-nil victory over Bournemouth. He's got a seventy-five percent chance of featuring against Nottingham Forest, but David Moyes kept him on the bench as a precaution. Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo's suspension continues, ruling him out until the twentieth of December. Chelsea managers must find alternatives in midfield. And the big injury news: Ismaila Sarr remains sidelined for Crystal Palace with that ankle problem. Oliver Glasner confirmed there's still no return date, so avoid any Palace midfield punts until he's back. Manchester City kept an unchanged side for their nine-goal thriller against Fulham, and Phil Foden's double showed he's back to his best. Finally, with fixtures coming thick and fast, rotation is real. Plan your transfers carefully.
Top three transfers in. Number one, Phil Foden at eight point two million pounds. He's received two hundred and fifty-six thousand transfers in after that masterclass. Started and played the full ninety minutes against Fulham, scoring twice and earning maximum bonus points for seventeen points. That's his second double-digit haul in three gameweeks, taking him to sixty-five points for the season. Foden now has five goals and one assist in twelve appearances, with incredible form of nine point two. Manchester City face Sunderland at home in Gameweek fifteen, where he's projected nine point seven expected points. Under ten percent ownership makes him a genuine differential captain option. Verdict: essential if you can afford him.
Number two, Bruno Guimaraes at six point seven million pounds. Picked up thirty-six thousand transfers in after continuing his excellent run. Started Newcastle's two-two draw with Spurs, playing forty-five minutes before being substituted. Scored their equalizer and grabbed a bonus point for seven in Gameweek fourteen. The Brazilian midfielder now has four goals and four assists this season, sitting on seventy-one total points with form of six point two. At just six percent ownership, he's flying under the radar. Newcastle host Burnley at home in Gameweek fifteen, a fixture where they're heavy favorites. Six point two expected points and then Liverpool away sounds tricky, but West Ham at home in Gameweek sixteen makes him a smart two-week hold. Verdict: good value for midfield depth.
Number three, James Tarkowski at five point four million pounds. The Everton defender picked up seven thousand transfers in and delivered immediately. Played the full ninety minutes in their one-nil clean sheet win at Bournemouth, earning two bonus points for a ten-point return. That's his fifth clean sheet of the season, and he's now on sixty-four total points. Form of five point six with five point six expected points for the Forest home match. Everton's defense under David Moyes has tightened up significantly, keeping clean sheets in back-to-back games. With home fixtures against Nottingham Forest and then Chelsea next, followed by Arsenal and Burnley, there's a mixed run ahead. But at five point four million, he's affordable defensive coverage. Verdict: good for budget defense options.
Top three transfers out. Number one, Semenyo at seven point eight million pounds. Over one hundred and eleven thousand managers sold him after another blank. Played the full ninety minutes against Everton but failed to register any attacking returns, picking up just four points from appearance. His form has plummeted to one point two, though he still sits on eighty total points for the season with six goals and four assists. The fixtures look brutal. Chelsea away, then Manchester City at home before Manchester United away. Fifty-one percent ownership means he's in half of all teams, but that double-digit haul feels a long way off. Bournemouth's attack has gone cold. Verdict: sell if you need funds elsewhere.
Number two, Moises Caicedo at five point nine million pounds. Ninety-one thousand transfers out as his suspension continues. He's banned until the twentieth of December, missing multiple gameweeks including crucial fixtures. Before the red card, he'd accumulated fifty-eight points with three goals and one assist, plus four clean sheets. His defensive contribution was valuable, but you simply cannot hold a suspended player through this fixture pile-up. Chelsea face Leeds, then Bournemouth away, Everton at home, and Newcastle away. When he returns, the fixtures improve, but that's three gameweeks away. Free up the five point nine million now. Verdict: sell immediately.
Number three, Ismaila Sarr at six point six million pounds. Sixty-two thousand managers finally pulled the trigger. The ankle injury has no return date, and Crystal Palace haven't provided any positive updates. He's stuck on fifty total points from eleven appearances with three goals and one assist. Form is one point eight before the injury struck. Palace face Burnley away this midweek, then Fulham away, and Manchester City at home. Even when fit, those fixtures don't appeal. The six point six million is better spent on in-form midfielders. Anderson at five point four offers better value in that price bracket. Verdict: sell and move on.
Differential picks. Samuel Chukwueze at five point three million with just zero point one percent ownership. The Fulham midfielder came off the bench at halftime against Manchester City and scored twice, earning twelve points including a bonus. Marco Silva clearly trusts him, and at that price point, he's dirt cheap for a differential punt. Fulham face Crystal Palace at home in Gameweek fifteen where attacking returns are possible. Then Burnley away offers another chance before tougher tests. Risky, but huge upside if he starts.
Oyindamola Dango at six million pounds with one percent ownership. The Brentford midfielder has fifty-six points from twelve games, averaging four point seven per game. Three goals and four assists show end product, plus three clean sheets add defensive value. Keith Andrews' side host Spurs in Gameweek fifteen, then face Leeds away. Form of five point two with consistent minutes makes him a steady differential. Not explosive, but reliable at that price.
Captaincy and key tip. Phil Foden is the standout captain against Sunderland at home. If you don't own him, Erling Haaland remains the obvious choice for that fixture. One key tip: prioritize Gameweek fifteen and sixteen together. Don't just look at this Saturday's fixtures. Players with two good games back-to-back offer better value than one-week punts. Newcastle, Liverpool, and Arsenal players fit this profile. Plan ahead.
Today's defensive contribution spotlight. Phil Foden topped Gameweek fourteen for midfielders with seventeen points, showing that attackers can dominate defensive stats through sheer involvement. James Tarkowski led defenders with ten points from his clean sheet and double bonus. Jeremy Doku also impressed with eight points, assisting twice in that City thriller while playing sixty-three minutes. Bruno Guimaraes proved midfielders score defensive points too, contributing tackles and interceptions alongside his goal. Across goalkeepers, defenders, and midfielders, these players showed that defensive contributions plus attacking threat equals FPL gold.
