Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek twenty-six is done and dusted, and with the Gameweek twenty-seven deadline hitting Saturday lunchtime, we're cutting through the noise to bring you the essential transfers, captain picks, and differentials you need right now. Let's get straight into it.
First up, the news bulletin. Arsenal have confirmed that Saliba is back in contention after missing recent matches, which is huge for their defensive coverage ahead of the North London derby on Sunday. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe has confirmed Bruno's injury will keep him out for several weeks, a massive blow for Newcastle managers who've been riding his excellent form. And in more concerning news, several managers are rotating heavily with fixture congestion hitting hard, so keep an eye on team news as we approach the deadline.
Right, let's talk transfers in. Three players you should be considering for Gameweek twenty-seven.
First up, Strand Larsen at six point one million pounds. The Crystal Palace forward just bagged thirteen points in Gameweek twenty-six with a brace against Burnley, and he's sitting at just one point eight percent ownership. Palace have been finding their scoring boots, and with fixtures against Wolves at home on Sunday, he's a genuine points machine waiting to happen. Three goals and one assist this season might not scream essential, but his recent form of three point four tells a different story. Verdict? Good buy for a differential forward option.
Next, Nmecha at just five million pounds. The Leeds forward exploded in Gameweek twenty-six with eleven points, scoring one and assisting another against Chelsea. At only zero point six percent ownership, he's basically flying under everyone's radar. Leeds face Aston Villa away this weekend, which isn't ideal, but at five million pounds with six goals and one assist this season, he's a budget enabler who can actually deliver points. Verdict? Good buy if you need budget funds elsewhere.
Third, B Fernandes at nine point eight million pounds. The Man United midfielder is owned by thirty-six point seven percent of managers and he's absolutely essential right now. Six goals and twelve assists this season, averaging six point two points per game with form of seven point four. United face Everton on Monday night, and he's on every set piece and penalty. If you don't own him, you're giving your rivals a huge advantage. Verdict? Essential. Get him in now.
Now let's flip it. Three players you need to consider moving out for Gameweek twenty-seven.
First, Gyökeres at eight point eight million pounds. The Arsenal forward managed just one point in Gameweek twenty-six and his form has dropped to three point seven. Eight goals this season isn't terrible, but for nearly nine million pounds, you need more consistency. Arsenal have the North London derby coming up, and while they could score big, Gyökeres isn't hitting the heights we expected. With twenty-eight thousand transfers out this week, managers are losing patience. Verdict? Sell if you need funds for premium midfielders.
Second, J Timber at six point four million pounds. The Arsenal defender picked up just two points in Gameweek twenty-six despite twelve clean sheets this season. At thirty-one percent ownership, he's been a solid pick, but with thirty-four thousand transfers out this week, sentiment is shifting. Arsenal's defence has looked shakier recently, and for six point four million, you might find better value elsewhere. Verdict? Hold if you have bigger fires to put out, but he's not untouchable anymore.
Third, Enzo at six point nine million pounds. The Chelsea midfielder has been consistent with one hundred and eighteen total points, but eighty-four thousand managers shipped him out this week. Two points in Gameweek twenty-six won't inspire confidence, even with eight goals and three assists this season. Chelsea face Burnley at home on Saturday, which is a decent fixture, but his form of five point two suggests he's not firing on all cylinders. Verdict? Hold for now, but monitor closely. One more blank and he's a sell.
Differential picks time. We're looking for players under ten percent ownership who could explode.
Strand Larsen gets another mention here at just one point eight percent ownership. That brace in Gameweek twenty-six showed exactly what he can do, and Palace's fixtures aren't terrible. Six point one million pounds for a forward who can haul is bargain territory.
Another shout is Šeško at seven point two million pounds and three point four percent owned. The Man United forward came off the bench in Gameweek twenty-six to score and earn three bonus points for eight total points in just twenty-one minutes. Six goals and two assists this season from limited starts suggests he's ready to explode if given more game time. With Everton up next on Monday, he could be a sneaky pick.
Captaincy for Gameweek twenty-seven? It's got to be B Fernandes. Man United away to Everton on Monday night, he's in red-hot form with seven point four expected points, and he's involved in everything United do going forward. If you want a safer option, Palmer against Burnley at home is also solid, but Fernandes is my number one.
One key tip for this week: don't panic sell your Arsenal defenders just yet. The North London derby is volatile, but Arsenal's underlying defensive numbers are still strong. Wait to see how they perform before making rash decisions.
