Welcome to Who Got The Points? The daily fantasy premier league show that cuts through the noise and gets straight to the points. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. We're breaking down the biggest defensive beasts from Gameweek Twelve, giving you the hottest transfer targets for Gameweek Thirteen, and revealing the captaincy pick that could make or break your weekend. Let's dive in.
Quick news bulletin. Nottingham Forest's defensive assets are flying under the radar with seventeen points for Murillo in Gameweek Twelve. The Tricky Trees face an improving Manchester United side next, but their defensive structure under Ange Postecoglou remains solid. Crystal Palace continue their impressive defensive run with six clean sheets this season. Dean Henderson and the back line face Newcastle away, a tougher test but one where their organization could pay dividends. Arsenal's Eze has exploded into life with twenty points in Gameweek Twelve after his hat trick. With six clean sheets defensively and now attacking returns flowing, Arsenal assets are becoming essential ahead of their home fixture against Fulham. Everton secured their fourth clean sheet of the season as Michael Keane continues to deliver exceptional value at four point five million pounds.
Now let's hit the top three transfers in for Gameweek Thirteen.
First up, Daniel Muñoz from Crystal Palace at five point nine million pounds. He's seen over two hundred and thirty thousand transfers in with twenty point one percent ownership now. Muñoz delivered fourteen points in Gameweek Twelve with a goal, clean sheet, and three bonus points. That's six clean sheets in twelve games and five attacking returns this season. The Colombian wing back is playing as a winger in all but name under Oliver Glasner. Palace face Newcastle away which isn't ideal, but their defensive solidity makes him a strong asset regardless of fixture. He's got eight point seven expected points for the next match. Verdict: essential. At under six million pounds, he's the best defender in the game right now for points per game.
Second, Eze from Arsenal at seven point seven million pounds. Two hundred and eighty two thousand managers have brought him in, pushing ownership to fifteen point four percent. That hat trick in Gameweek Twelve brought him twenty points, and he's now returned in four of his last five matches. Playing centrally in Mikel Arteta's attack with creative freedom, he's recorded four goals and three assists this season while benefiting from Arsenal's six clean sheets. He faces Fulham at home where Arsenal should dominate possession. Nine point three expected points tells you everything. Verdict: essential. At this price point with Arsenal's fixtures, he's a must-have midfielder for the next month.
Third, Michael Keane from Everton at just four point five million pounds. Over eighteen thousand transfers in with low ownership at one point six percent, making him a genuine differential. Nine points in Gameweek Twelve with a clean sheet and bonus point. That's four clean sheets this season and two goals for a budget defender. David Moyes has tightened up Everton defensively, and at four point five, Keane offers incredible value for your fifth defender slot. Nine point three expected points for Gameweek Thirteen against Manchester United at home. Verdict: good. If you need budget enablers, this is smart business. He won't get huge hauls but consistent returns at that price are gold.
Top three transfers out now.
First, Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. He's seen one hundred and six thousand transfers out as managers look elsewhere. Priced at seven point three million pounds with twelve point six percent ownership. Just one point in Gameweek Twelve, and he's blanked in three of his last four matches. Only two goals and three assists all season isn't good enough at that price point. With Thiago now the focal point of Brentford's attack and fixtures turning, Mbeumo's value has diminished. Verdict: sell. That money is better used on Eze or holding for premium strikers. He's not delivering consistent returns.
Second, Marcus Rashford from Manchester United at eight point nine million pounds. Over sixty thousand transfers out as his minutes remain a concern under Ruben Amorim. Just two points in Gameweek Twelve after coming off the bench for sixteen minutes. Four goals and two assists this season sounds decent, but the lack of guaranteed starts makes him impossible to own. At nearly nine million pounds, you need every minute and United's attack remains inconsistent. Verdict: sell. Too expensive for a rotation risk. Wait until Amorim's system settles and Rashford nails down a starting spot before reconsidering.
Third, Dominic Calvert Lewin from Everton at five point nine million pounds. Forty eight thousand managers have moved him on after another blank. He played sixty nine minutes in Gameweek Twelve but delivered just two points with no goal or assist. Three goals all season from a striker priced at nearly six million isn't acceptable. Everton's attacking output remains poor, and even with David Moyes improving their shape, the goals aren't flowing. Verdict: sell. That five point nine gets you much better options. Thiago at six point five is a far superior choice for just half a million more.
Differential picks for the brave managers.
Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace at five million pounds with just four point seven percent ownership. Eleven points in Gameweek Twelve with an assist, clean sheet, and two bonus points. Six clean sheets this season and two assists from defense. Playing as the right-sided center back in a back four, he's aggressive in possession and gets forward on set pieces. Palace's defensive form makes their backline serious options, and at five million, he's cheaper than Muñoz if you want Palace defensive coverage. Could easily return another double digit haul.
Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest at five point three million pounds with three point one percent ownership. Nine points in Gameweek Twelve with an assist and clean sheet. Playing in central midfield with license to push forward, he's recording defensive contributions while also creating chances. Twenty one thousand transfers in shows people are catching on. Forest's defensive structure under Ange Postecoglou means midfielders like Anderson can rack up points through tackles, interceptions, and the occasional assist.
Murillo from Nottingham Forest at five point three million pounds with two point one percent ownership. Seventeen points in Gameweek Twelve after scoring and keeping a clean sheet with three bonus points. The Brazilian center back is Forest's most aggressive defender, winning aerial duels and pushing into the box for corners. Twenty six thousand managers brought him in after that haul. At five point three with Forest's upcoming fixtures against Ipswich and Aston Villa, he's a serious differential who could haul again.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek Thirteen: Eze from Arsenal. Playing at home against Fulham with nine point three expected points, fresh off a hat trick, and Arsenal needing to maintain pressure at the top of the table. He's on penalties, takes set pieces, and is the focal point of their attack. Safe captaincy with huge upside.
One key tip: don't overlook defensive contributing midfielders this week. Players like Anderson are delivering clean sheet points plus attacking potential while flying under the radar. Check defensive stats when picking your midfield, not just goals and assists.
