Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes for Gameweek Ten. Gameweek Nine delivered some absolute gems, and with the deadline hitting Saturday at half one, we're diving straight into your transfers, differentials, and captaincy picks. Let's go.
Right, news bulletin time. Three things you need to know. First up, Arsenal's clean sheet machine rolls on. Five clean sheets in nine games now, and they're facing Burnley at Turf Moor. Keith Andrews' side have been leaky, and Arsenal's defence is looking essential right now. Second, Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes is on fire. Ten points in Gameweek Nine, three goals this season, and only three point five percent owned. Eddie Howe's got him playing box-to-box, and he's flying under the radar. Third, Chelsea face Tottenham in the big London derby. Thomas Frank's Spurs defence kept a clean sheet last week, but Enzo Maresca's attack is clicking. Pedro Porro got eleven points with an assist and bonus, so expect goals in this one.
Top three transfers in, starting with Gabriel. Arsenal's defensive rock at six point five million pounds. He's picked up four hundred and sixty-seven thousand transfers in, now owned by thirty-eight point nine percent of managers. Nine points in Gameweek Nine with three bonus, that's his sixth clean sheet of the season. One key stat? Seven point six points per game, the highest of any defender in his price bracket. Against Burnley away, Arsenal are huge favourites, and Mikel Arteta's backline is the most reliable in the league. Verdict? Essential. If you don't own Arsenal defence, you're playing catch-up.
Next up, Jurrien Timber. Six point one million pounds, twenty-four point seven percent owned, and three hundred and twenty-one thousand transfers in. Sixty points total already, with two goals and two assists this season. The key stat here? He's playing as an inverted full-back, getting into attacking zones constantly. Six point seven points per game, and he's on set pieces occasionally. Against Burnley, he's got another clean sheet chance plus attacking returns potential. Verdict? Good buy. Slightly cheaper than Gabriel, and offers similar security with more attacking threat.
Third transfer in is Bruno Guimaraes. Six point five million pounds, just three point five percent owned, but one hundred and twenty-four thousand managers brought him in this week. Ten points last time out with a goal and three bonus. The stat that matters? Eight point seven form, the joint-highest in midfield right now. Three goals, one assist, forty-two points total. Newcastle face West Ham away, and Nuno Espirito Santo's defence has conceded eight goals in nine games. Bruno's playing advanced, taking shots, creating chances. Verdict? Essential differential. At this price and ownership, he's a league-winner.
Top three transfers out now. First, Morgan Rogers. Aston Villa midfielder at six point eight million pounds, dropping to four point eight percent ownership with thirty-five thousand selling him. Three points in Gameweek Nine against Leeds, and here's the problem. One goal, two assists all season, just three point six points per game. Unai Emery rotates heavily with European fixtures, and Villa face Liverpool at Anfield. Arne Slot's side are flying, and Rogers hasn't delivered the attacking returns at nearly seven million. Verdict? Sell. Use that money elsewhere.
Second out, Pedro Porro. Wait, hold on. Five point five million, eighteen point nine percent owned, but one hundred and eight thousand sold him this week. Eleven points in Gameweek Nine with an assist and two bonus. Here's the thing though. Tottenham face Chelsea in a massive derby, then tricky fixtures ahead. Four clean sheets, two assists, decent numbers. But at five point five million with Spurs' defensive inconsistency, and with cheaper options like Timber offering more, managers are cashing in. Verdict? Hold if you've got him, but don't buy. That eleven-pointer was nice, but consistency is the issue.
Third out, Daniel Muñoz. Crystal Palace defender, five point seven million, fifteen percent owned, dropping by twenty-seven thousand transfers. Two points in Gameweek Nine, and Oliver Glasner's defence has conceded nine goals in nine games. Three clean sheets sounds okay, but one goal and three assists aren't enough attacking returns. Palace face Brentford, and while that's not a disaster fixture, there are better defensive options at this price. Verdict? Sell. Move to Arsenal or Newcastle defence for more security.
Differential picks, and we're going deep. First, David Kroupi Junior. Bournemouth forward at four point six million, just three point eight percent owned. Six points last week with a goal, four goals total this season. Andoni Iraola's attack is clinical, and at four point six million, he's the perfect enabler who actually returns points. Bournemouth face Manchester City, tough fixture, but then Newcastle, Wolves, Brighton. He could explode.
Second differential, Brenden Aaronson. Leeds midfielder, five point four million, zero point two percent owned. Eleven points in Gameweek Nine with a goal and three bonus. One goal, two assists this season, playing for Daniel Farke's Leeds who face Brighton away. Fabian Hurzeler's defence has been suspect, and at this price, Aaronson is a massive punt if Leeds' attack clicks.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek Ten? It's Gabriel. Eleven expected points against Burnley, Arsenal's defensive leader, six clean sheets already, and he picks up bonus like clockwork. If you want safety, Gabriel's your man.
One key tip? Don't sleep on Newcastle assets. They're flying, fixtures are decent, and with Bruno Guimaraes at three point five percent owned, you've got a genuine differential captain option in the coming weeks.
