Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL fix. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes as we look ahead to Gameweek twenty-three.
Right, let's dive into the rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, massive injury concern for Newcastle owners. Bruno Guimaraes is flagged as doubtful with an ankle injury, though there's a seventy-five percent chance of playing. He managed the full ninety minutes against Wolves in Gameweek twenty-two's goalless draw, so monitor those press conferences closely before Saturday's deadline. Second, some positive rotation news from midweek European action. Gabriel and Rice were both rested by Arsenal, suggesting they're fresh for the crucial home clash against Manchester United on Sunday. However, Saka played the full ninety minutes, which might be a slight concern for rotation. Third, quick defensive update: Tarkowski continues his excellent form for Everton, keeping another clean sheet in their one-nil win at Aston Villa. That's nine clean sheets this season for the centre-back at just five point seven million pounds. Keep an eye on team news throughout Friday for any late developments.
Let's hit the top three transfers in for Gameweek twenty-three. Number one: B. Fernandes from Manchester United. Priced at nine point two million pounds with sixteen point eight percent ownership, and he's gained a staggering three hundred and ninety-three thousand transfers in this week. The Portuguese midfielder delivered ten points in Gameweek twenty-two with an assist and clean sheet bonus in that Manchester derby victory. He's on one hundred and sixteen total points this season with nine assists. Here's the thing though: Manchester United face Arsenal away on Sunday, followed by tough fixtures against West Ham and Spurs. The expected points for Gameweek twenty-three are just two point four. Verdict: Good option for those chasing ranks, but wait if you're playing it safe.
Number two: Mbeumo from Manchester United. Eight point one million pounds with ten point five percent ownership, and he's picked up one hundred and eighty-five thousand transfers in. The winger scored in Gameweek twenty-two against Brentford, returning nine points with a goal and bonus point. That's seven goals this season now. With Manchester United's fixture against Arsenal coming up and an expected point eight for Gameweek twenty-three, it's interesting timing. His underlying numbers have been quiet recently with a form rating of just one point eight. Verdict: Wait. Better options exist at this price point for the immediate fixtures.
Number three: Dorgu, the Manchester United defender at four point three million pounds with eight percent ownership. He's exploded with one hundred and sixty-eight thousand transfers in after his fifteen-point haul in Gameweek twenty-two. The budget defender scored and kept a clean sheet against Manchester City, adding three bonus points. That's an incredible return for his price. At just four point three million, he's unlocking funds across the FPL community. However, remember Manchester United face Arsenal next, then West Ham away. Verdict: Essential as an enabler if you need budget funds, but temper expectations for immediate returns.
Now the top three transfers out. Number one: Thiago from Brentford. Seven point two million pounds with thirty-six point seven percent ownership, and he's seeing twenty-one thousand transfers out. The Brazilian forward blanked in Gameweek twenty-two against Chelsea with just two points despite playing ninety minutes. That's his first blank in a while, but he's still on sixteen goals this season and one hundred and twenty-two total points. Brentford face Nottingham Forest next with expected points of seven point six. His form rating remains strong at seven point six. Verdict: Hold. One blank doesn't warrant a sale for a striker averaging five point five points per game.
Number two: Trossard from Arsenal. Six point nine million pounds with one point six percent ownership and fourteen thousand transfers out. The Belgian midfielder managed just forty-five minutes in Gameweek twenty-two's goalless draw with Nottingham Forest, returning one point. That's a concern for those banking on Arsenal attacking returns. He's on five goals and four assists this season but lacks consistent minutes. With Arsenal facing Manchester United at home, there are better Arsenal options. Verdict: Sell if you own him. Rotation risk is too high for reliable returns.
Number three: A. Becker from Liverpool. Five point four million pounds with six point two percent ownership and eleven thousand transfers out. The Brazilian goalkeeper has just six clean sheets from seventeen appearances this season and managed only two points in Gameweek twenty-two's draw with Burnley. Liverpool's defensive form has been inconsistent. With Bournemouth away next, then Newcastle at home, there are better goalkeeper options for the price. Verdict: Sell and reinvest elsewhere in your squad.
Time for differential picks under ten percent ownership. First up: Aaronson from Leeds. Five point four million pounds with just zero point eight percent ownership. The midfielder has six assists and four goals this season, totalling eighty-seven points. Leeds kept a clean sheet against Fulham in Gameweek twenty-two and Aaronson has expected points of six point four for their home fixture against Everton on Monday. At that price with those underlying numbers, he's a sneaky option.
Second differential: Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest. Seven point three million pounds with two point nine percent ownership. He's on five goals and one assist this season, managing eighty-four total points. Forest kept a clean sheet against Arsenal and face Brentford away next. Expected points sit at four point eight, and while the form rating is four point eight, Forest's defensive solidity makes their attackers interesting.
Third differential: Joelinton from Newcastle. Five point nine million pounds with just zero point four percent ownership. The midfielder played ninety minutes in that clean sheet against Wolves. With Newcastle facing Aston Villa at home on Sunday, and their strong home form, he's a budget enabler who contributes defensive points. Expected points of five for Gameweek twenty-three make him worth considering.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek twenty-three: stick with the big hitters. Despite tough fixtures, players like Salah against Bournemouth away or even Thiago at home to Nottingham Forest offer the highest ceiling. One key tip: don't panic sell after one blank. Look at fixture runs over the next four gameweeks, not just the immediate match.
