Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily Fantasy Premier League briefing. I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail Gameweek twenty-five.
Gameweek twenty-four is wrapped, and we've got some crucial injury news hitting the wires. Ollie Watkins didn't feature for Aston Villa in their one-nil defeat at Brentford, with a hamstring issue now making him doubtful for Gameweek twenty-five. He's got a seventy-five percent chance of playing against Bournemouth, but that's a gamble most managers can't afford to take at eight point seven million pounds.
Defensive news from Spurs, where both Romero and van de Ven are fitness concerns ahead of their trip to Old Trafford. Van de Ven didn't feature in the two-two draw with Man City, which is a blow for Thomas Frank's side. Speaking of that match, Phil Foden was surprisingly benched by Pep Guardiola, continuing the rotation roulette at the Etihad.
Bruno Guimaraes picked up a knock in Newcastle's four-one hammering at Liverpool but played the full ninety, so it doesn't appear serious. Meanwhile, Mason Mount's absence from Manchester United's squad has been explained as a minor fitness issue, nothing long-term. And finally, Dominic Solanke is being monitored after taking another knock, but he's expected to be available.
Right, let's get into the transfers. Three players you should be bringing in for Gameweek twenty-five.
First up, Bruno Fernandes at nine point six million pounds. The Manchester United captain just delivered a ten-point haul against Fulham with two assists, taking him to one hundred and thirty-one points for the season. That's twelve assists and five goals already, and with Spurs visiting Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime, he's in prime position to deliver again. Spurs have been leaky at the back, and Michael Carrick's side look revitalized. Fernandes is on penalties, every set piece, and playing as an attacking midfielder. Verdict? Essential. He's got six point four expected points for Gameweek twenty-five, and over one hundred and seventy-seven thousand managers brought him in this week.
Next, Jarrad Timber at six point three million pounds. The Arsenal defender is now in twenty-eight percent of teams and continues to deliver consistent returns. He picked up another clean sheet against Leeds, his eleventh of the season, and he's added two goals and four assists for good measure. At five point zero points per game, he's Arsenal's best defensive route at under seven million. They face Sunderland at home in Gameweek twenty-five, a fixture where they should keep another clean sheet, then Chelsea away in Gameweek twenty-eight. The fixtures are mixed, but Arsenal's defense is rock solid, and Timber offers attacking threat from right-back. Verdict? Good buy for the next four to six weeks.
Third, Kroupi Junior at just four point seven million pounds. The Bournemouth budget forward is becoming essential for those looking to free up funds elsewhere. He scored again in the two-nil win at Wolves, his eighth goal of the season, and picked up seven points with a bonus point. He's now in five point eight percent of squads after nearly forty thousand transfers in. At his price, he's the perfect enabler who actually returns points. Bournemouth face Aston Villa at home, then Everton away, then West Ham at home. Three very winnable fixtures. Verdict? Essential budget option if you need to raise funds.
Now, three players you should be moving out.
Ollie Watkins has to be first. Hamstring injuries are not to be messed with, and at eight point seven million pounds, you can't carry a doubtful forward. Over one hundred and fifteen thousand managers have already shipped him out, and rightly so. He didn't play a single minute against Brentford, and even if he's passed fit, he might not start or could be on limited minutes. With Bournemouth at home, it's a decent fixture, but the risk is too high. Verdict? Sell immediately and switch to Fernandes in midfield or upgrade elsewhere.
Second, Jarrod Bowen at seven point six million pounds. Yes, he scored against Chelsea and picked up eight points, but that's papering over the cracks. West Ham are struggling, and Bowen's form has been patchy at best. He's got Burnley away in Gameweek twenty-five, then Manchester United at home in Gameweek twenty-six. Those aren't fixtures screaming big returns, and at his price, you want consistency. He's only in eight point six percent of teams, so you're not chasing the pack if you move him on. Verdict? Sell if you need funds or want a more reliable asset.
Third, Evanilson at seven point one million pounds. The Bournemouth forward picked up just two points from eighty-four minutes against Wolves, despite keeping a clean sheet. He's blanked in three of his last four, and while Bournemouth have decent fixtures, he's not delivering at his price point. Only five goals and three assists all season for a seven point one million pound forward isn't good enough. Nearly twenty thousand managers have already transferred him out. Verdict? Sell and reinvest in Kroupi Junior to free up three million pounds, or upgrade to a premium.
Differential time. Three players under ten percent owned who could be your secret weapon.
First, Raul Jimenez at Fulham, six point two million pounds, one point nine percent owned. He scored against Manchester United and has six goals and four assists this season. Fulham face Everton at home in Gameweek twenty-five, then Manchester City away and Spurs at home. The Everton fixture is golden.
Second, Benjamin Sesko at Manchester United, seven point two million pounds, three point three percent owned. He came off the bench to score against Fulham, showing Michael Carrick he deserves to start. With Spurs visiting Old Trafford, he could be a sneaky captaincy differential if he starts.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-five? Bruno Fernandes is the standout. Spurs at home, on penalties, in red-hot form. If you're feeling brave, Mohamed Salah against Manchester City is the high-risk, high-reward play, but that fixture could go either way.
One key tip: Don't panic about your rank. Gameweek twenty-five is a great reset opportunity with clear captaincy picks and decent fixture swings. Focus on nailing your starting eleven rather than chasing differentials.
