Welcome to Who Got The Points? I'm your host Archer, and here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes. Gameweek twenty-six is done and dusted, and we're looking ahead to Gameweek twenty-seven with a fascinating fixture list. The North London Derby headlines Sunday's action, Man City host Newcastle in a crucial clash, and there's plenty of value picks to discuss. Let's dive straight into the team news that matters.
Starting with the news bulletin, and there's important updates from Arsenal. Saliba was absent from the Brentford draw due to illness, but reports suggest he should be fine for the trip to Spurs. Saka came through ninety minutes unscathed and looks sharp ahead of the Derby. Rice picked up maximum bonus points despite the one-all draw, showing his consistency. Over at Newcastle, Haaland remains fully fit with Pep Guardiola confirming no issues ahead of their Saturday night showdown at the Etihad. Isak and Bruno G are both available for Newcastle, making that fixture even more intriguing. One suspension to note: no major bans heading into Gameweek twenty-seven, but several players sit on four yellow cards, so keep an eye on the disciplinaries during the weekend.
Right, let's get into the transfers. Starting with our top three transfers IN for Gameweek twenty-seven.
First up, João Pedro from Chelsea. Priced at seven point seven million pounds with forty-five point four percent ownership. He delivered again in Gameweek twenty-six, starting and playing the full ninety minutes against Leeds, scoring one and assisting one for ten points including bonus. That's one hundred and thirty-two points for the season now. Chelsea face Burnley at home in Gameweek twenty-seven, a fixture they absolutely should dominate. Pedro has ten goals and eight assists this season, averaging five point one points per game. With nine point six expected points for the upcoming match, he's firing on all cylinders under Liam Rosenior. Over one hundred and thirty thousand managers brought him in this week. Verdict: Essential. If you don't own him, fix that immediately.
Second, Guéhi from Man City. Five point two million pounds and thirty-six point seven percent ownership. He kept a clean sheet against Fulham, playing the full ninety and picking up seven points with a bonus point. Nine clean sheets this season from defence, plus two goals and four assists. That's exceptional value at his price point. Man City host Newcastle on Saturday night, and while Newcastle have been dangerous going forward, City's defence has tightened up considerably. With forty-five thousand transfers in, managers are loading up on City assets. Expected four point three points for Gameweek twenty-seven. Verdict: Good buy. Solid defensive cover with attacking potential.
Third, B dot Fernandes from Man United. Nine point eight million pounds but only thirty-six point six percent ownership, which feels low for his quality. He played ninety minutes in the one-all draw at West Ham, blanking with just two points. But don't let one game fool you. He has six goals and twelve assists this season, averaging six point two points per game. One hundred and forty-three total points makes him one of the top midfielders. United face Everton away on Monday night in Gameweek twenty-seven, a tricky fixture but one where Fernandes typically delivers. Seven point four expected points suggests the algorithm backs him. Verdict: Good buy, especially with his fixture run improving after this week.
Now the transfers OUT. Three players you should consider moving on.
First, J dot Timber from Arsenal. Six point four million pounds with thirty-one point one percent ownership. He played ninety minutes against Brentford but failed to return, picking up just two points. Arsenal lost their clean sheet and Timber looked less threatening than usual. While he has twelve clean sheets this season and one hundred and twenty-three total points, the issue is value. At six point four million, you're paying premium defender money, and with over twenty-six thousand transfers out this week, managers are finding better options. Arsenal face Spurs away next, hardly a clean sheet banker. Four point two expected points doesn't justify the outlay. Verdict: Sell if you need funds elsewhere. He's not bad, just not optimal.
Second, Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest. Seven point three million pounds with just three point seven percent ownership, down from earlier in the season. Forest drew nil-nil with Wolves in Gameweek twenty-six, and Gibbs-White managed just three points for the clean sheet. He's averaging four points per game with six goals and two assists all season. The concern is consistency. Forest face Liverpool away in Gameweek twenty-seven, and with just three point nine expected points, he's easy to drop. Over fifteen thousand transfers out tell the story. Verdict: Sell. Too expensive for his returns, better midfield options available.
Third, Barry from Everton. Five point seven million pounds with one point two percent ownership. Started against Bournemouth, played sixty-one minutes before being subbed off, blanking with two points. Five goals this season but no assists, averaging two point five points per game. Everton host Man United on Monday night, and Barry simply isn't reliable enough for FPL purposes. Nearly seven thousand transfers out this week. At five point seven million, you can find far better forward options. Verdict: Sell immediately and upgrade.
Differentials time. Two punts under ten percent ownership that could explode.
First, Adli from Bournemouth. Just five point four million pounds with only zero point three percent ownership. He delivered big in Gameweek twenty-six, scoring once and playing seventy-nine minutes against Everton for ten points including three bonus. That's three goals and two assists this season. Bournemouth travel to West Ham in Gameweek twenty-seven, and at six point six expected points, he's on the radar. Nearly twelve thousand transfers in suggest savvy managers are catching on. Differential gold at under one percent ownership.
Second, M dot Fernandes from West Ham. Five point five million pounds with zero point four percent ownership. Played the full ninety against Man United in Gameweek twenty-six, picking up three points. Three goals and three assists this season with an impressive six point four form rating. West Ham host Bournemouth, and with six point four expected points, he's got serious upside. Over three thousand transfers in this week. At his price, he's a brilliant enabler who could haul. Perfect differential for Gameweek twenty-seven.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek twenty-seven: João Pedro all day long. Chelsea at home to Burnley is the standout fixture. He's in red-hot form, nine point six expected points, and Burnley's defence has been leaky. If you're feeling brave, Haaland against Newcastle could be explosive, but Pedro is the safer captaincy play.
One key tip: Don't panic sell your Arsenal defenders just yet. The Spurs game is tough, but after that, their fixtures clear up beautifully. Gabriel and the Arsenal backline have been exceptional all season, so think long-term.
