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? I'm your host and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to dominate your Fantasy Premier League mini-leagues this Gameweek Seven.
Let's dive straight into the rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, Michael Keane picked up an injury during Everton's two-one victory over Crystal Palace and could be a doubt for upcoming fixtures. Ndiaye stepped up to take penalties for Everton, which could be crucial for his Fantasy value moving forward. Jack Grealish put in what Pep Guardiola called a 'great' performance for Manchester City, suggesting he's finally finding his rhythm. Ollie Watkins was substituted early during Aston Villa's win over Burnley, with Unai Emery managing his minutes carefully. Finally, Kaoru Mitoma missed out on Brighton's matchday squad entirely, raising questions about his fitness and short-term viability.
Now let's talk transfers in, starting with our top three players flying into Fantasy teams.
First, Jurrien Timber at five point nine million pounds. The Arsenal defender has seen one hundred sixty-three thousand transfers in after his eleven-point haul in Gameweek Seven. Timber delivered an assist plus clean sheet bonus against his former club, and he's now averaging six point nine points per game. With Arsenal's defence looking solid under Mikel Arteta and Timber offering genuine attacking threat from left-back, he's looking essential for the next few gameweeks. Verdict: Essential.
Second, Mohammed Kudus at six point seven million pounds with one hundred seventy thousand managers bringing him in. The Tottenham midfielder exploded with twelve points in Gameweek Seven, bagging a goal, assist, and maximum bonus points. Under Thomas Frank's attacking system, Kudus has been deployed in advanced positions and his underlying numbers are exceptional. At thirty-two percent ownership, he's still not universally owned despite averaging five point six points per game. Verdict: Essential.
Third, Erling Haaland at fourteen point five million pounds. Yes, he's expensive, but two hundred fifty-five thousand transfers in show managers are scrambling to get him back. The Norwegian scored again in Gameweek Seven for his fifth goal in six games, and he's averaging eleven and a half points per match. With Manchester City's fixtures improving and Pep Guardiola's attacking intent clear, Haaland looks unstoppable right now. Verdict: Essential if you can afford him.
Moving to our transfers out section, here are three players managers are ditching fast.
First, Mohamed Salah at fourteen point four million pounds has seen two hundred sixty-six thousand transfers out. The Liverpool superstar managed just two points in Gameweek Seven and his form has dipped to four point five over recent weeks. At nearly forty percent ownership, many are using his hefty price tag to fund moves for Haaland or strengthen elsewhere. Under Arne Slot's system, Salah seems less central to attacks. Verdict: Sell if you need the funds.
Second, Ollie Watkins at eight point seven million pounds with fifty-three thousand sales. The Aston Villa striker was substituted after just sixty-six minutes in Gameweek Seven and has managed only twenty points across seven gameweeks. His points per game average of two point nine is concerning for an eight point seven million pound asset. With Villa's attacking struggles continuing, Watkins looks overpriced. Verdict: Sell.
Third, João Pedro at seven point seven million pounds despite over sixty percent ownership. The Chelsea forward managed just two points in Gameweek Seven and one hundred forty-two thousand managers are jumping ship. His form has dropped to three point two and with Enzo Maresca rotating his attack, Pedro's minutes aren't guaranteed. For a player at his price point, consistency is crucial. Verdict: Hold for one more gameweek, then consider selling.
Quick-fire differential picks now for managers looking for that edge. Nick Woltemade at seven point two million pounds and just eight point four percent ownership scored in Gameweek Seven for Newcastle. Eddie Howe has given him a run in the team and he's averaging six points per match. Thiago at Brentford for six point one million pounds and three point one percent ownership offers decent value if Keith Andrews keeps starting him centrally. Finally, Wilson Isidor at Sunderland for five point six million pounds at three point three percent ownership has been consistent with twenty-eight points from seven games.
For captaincy this week, Haaland is the obvious choice with twelve expected points against weaker opposition. His goal-scoring form is simply too good to ignore right now.
One key tip: don't panic-sell players after one bad gameweek. Look at their underlying stats, fixture difficulty, and form over multiple weeks before making transfer decisions.
