Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm your host and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail your Gameweek Nine transfers before Friday's deadline. Let's dive straight into the crucial news that's shaping your FPL decisions right now. Tottenham's Udogie remains out injured with no return date confirmed by Thomas Frank, making their defence even less appealing. Watkins was benched against Spurs but Unai Emery confirmed it was purely tactical rotation, so no injury concerns there. Richarlison also started on the bench in that same match, playing just thirty minutes as a substitute. Over at Arsenal, defender Andersen picked up a knock but should be fine for their next fixture according to Mikel Arteta. Finally, Wolves striker Strand Larsen's fitness is being monitored by Vitor Pereira after some concerns, though he's expected to feature. Right, let's get into the transfers that could make or break your Gameweek Nine. First up, Welbeck at six point three million pounds has seen fifty four thousand transfers in after his incredible thirteen-point haul. The Brighton forward started and played eighty nine minutes, bagging two goals and maximum bonus points. He's now scored four goals this season and sits on thirty one total points. With six point five expected points for Gameweek Nine, he looks essential right now. Verdict: Essential buy. Next, Kroupi Junior at just four point five million pounds is generating serious buzz with forty eight thousand transfers in. The Bournemouth forward started and played seventy four minutes, scoring twice for twelve points in Gameweek Eight. Three goals in five appearances and sitting on twenty one total points makes him incredible value. At four point five expected points for Gameweek Nine, he's a bargain enabler. Verdict: Essential buy for squad structure. Finally, Timber continues his remarkable FPL form at five point nine million pounds with sixty seven thousand managers jumping on board. The Arsenal defender started the full ninety minutes, keeping another clean sheet for six points. Four clean sheets this season plus two goals and two assists gives him fifty four total points already. With Arsenal's defensive solidity under Mikel Arteta, he's premium defender value at mid-range pricing. Verdict: Essential for defense. Now for the players you should consider moving on from. Richarlison's ownership is dropping fast with one hundred and ten thousand transfers out after his disappointing one-point return. The six point seven million pound Spurs forward managed just thirty minutes off the bench against Villa. Despite three goals and one assist this season, his rotation risk under Thomas Frank is becoming a real concern. With just three point two expected points for Gameweek Nine, he's too expensive for bench duty. Verdict: Sell immediately. Isak's Liverpool move hasn't gone to plan with sixty one thousand managers ditching the ten point six million pound striker. Just two points from seventy one minutes played in Gameweek Eight continues his poor run. Zero goals this season from the premium-priced forward is simply unacceptable. With only three point five expected points for his next fixture, he's the worst value in FPL right now. Verdict: Sell and never look back. Sesko rounds out our transfer outs with balanced movement but concerning signs. The seven point three million pound Manchester United forward managed just twenty nine minutes as a substitute for one point. Two goals this season isn't terrible, but four point eight expected points doesn't justify his price tag under Ruben Amorim's rotation system. Verdict: Hold for now but monitor closely. Time for some differential picks under ten percent ownership that could be your secret weapons. Thiago at six point one million pounds and three point nine percent ownership offers great value. The Brentford forward has four goals this season and thirty two total points despite missing Gameweek Eight. His three point two expected points might be conservative given Keith Andrews' attacking setup. Calvert-Lewin at five point five million pounds and just one point seven percent ownership is worth a punt. The Leeds striker has quietly accumulated twenty points this season with one goal and one assist under Daniel Farke. Finally, consider Fernandes as a premium differential at eight point nine million pounds and sixteen point seven percent ownership. His eight-point haul in Gameweek Eight included an assist and three bonus points, showing he's still Manchester United's creative hub under Ruben Amorim. For captaincy in Gameweek Nine, Welbeck looks outstanding after his double against Crystal Palace. Brighton's fixtures are favorable and his form is electric. One key tip: don't chase last week's points blindly. Look at underlying metrics and fixture difficulty when making transfers. Welbeck and Kroupi Junior have both the form and the fixtures to continue delivering. Want to win your fantasy premier league mini leagues?
