Your daily dose of Premier League insights - powered by data, driven by AI. From top transfer tips to captain picks, we break it all down in under 10 minutes.
Welcome to Who Got The Points, your daily FPL fix. I'm Archer, and in the next seven minutes, we're breaking down everything you need to know ahead of the Gameweek twenty-one deadline. We've got injuries shaking up lineups, form players demanding your attention, and differentials that could win you your mini-league. Let's get straight into it.
First up, the news bulletin. Manchester City have been dealt a massive blow with Josko Gvardiol ruled out for months with a leg fracture sustained in their one-all draw with Chelsea. That's a huge defensive hole for Pep Guardiola's side as they prepare to face Brighton on Wednesday. Speaking of injuries, Bruno Fernandes is a major doubt for Manchester United's trip to Burnley with a hamstring problem. The Portuguese midfielder, who has five goals and seven assists this season, has just a fifty percent chance of featuring according to Ruben Amorim. That's a concern for his eleven point four percent of owners. Meanwhile, Brentford continue their impressive form after hammering Everton four-two in Gameweek twenty, with midfielder Vitaly Janelt grabbing two assists in that win. And finally, Newcastle's excellent run continues with another clean sheet against Crystal Palace, making it five clean sheets from their last six games. Eddie Howe's side look rock solid defensively heading into their Wednesday night clash with Leeds.
Now let's talk transfers in, starting with the hottest picks for Gameweek twenty-one.
Number three, Kevin Schade at seven point one million pounds. The Brentford midfielder is flying under the radar at just two point four percent ownership, but he's picking up fifty thousand transfers in ahead of this deadline. Schade played sixty-three minutes against Everton, grabbing an assist and a clean sheet for six points. He's now got six goals and three assists this season, averaging four point two points per game. With six point four expected points against Sunderland on Wednesday, Brentford's attack is clicking. Verdict: Good option if you need a differential midfielder with excellent fixtures.
Number two, Matheus Cunha at eight point two million pounds. The Manchester United midfielder has thirteen point four percent ownership and is attracting seventy-one thousand transfers in. Cunha scored in United's goalless draw at Leeds, finishing with nine points including two bonus. That's four goals and one assist this season despite United's struggles. He faces Burnley away on Wednesday with five point eight expected points. United's new signing is becoming essential in their attack. Verdict: Essential if you can afford him, United's fixtures are manageable.
Number one, Bruno Guimaraes at seven point one million pounds. Newcastle's talisman is the top transfer target with two hundred seventy-eight thousand managers bringing him in. Bruno scored and kept a clean sheet against Palace for ten points with double bonus. That's seven goals and four assists this season, averaging five point six points per game. Eighteen point five percent owned now and rising fast. With Newcastle's defensive solidity and his involvement in everything good they do, Bruno faces Leeds at home on Wednesday. Verdict: Essential. If you don't own him, find the money. He's as close to must-have as it gets right now.
Now the transfers out, players you should be considering selling.
Number three, Harry Wilson at five point eight million pounds. The Fulham midfielder has eighteen point one percent ownership but is seeing eighty-two thousand managers transfer him out. Wilson scored against Liverpool in that two-all draw, picking up six points, but he's been inconsistent lately. Six goals and six assists this season sounds good, but Fulham face Chelsea away on Wednesday, then Leeds and Brighton. The fixtures turn, and at five point eight million, that money could be better used elsewhere. Verdict: Sell if you need funds, but he's not a disaster hold if you have bigger fires.
Number two, Jurrien Timber at six point three million pounds. Arsenal's defender is hemorrhaging owners with one hundred eighty-seven thousand transfers out. After being one of the season's best defensive picks with eight clean sheets, two goals, and four assists, Timber blanked against Bournemouth with just three points. Twenty-seven point four percent still own him, but Arsenal face Liverpool away on Thursday in a huge title clash. That's a tough fixture, and at six point three million, premium defenders need to deliver. Verdict: Hold if you have transfer priorities elsewhere, but he's not essential anymore.
Number one, Florian Wirtz at eight point two million pounds. Liverpool's midfielder is the most transferred out player with fifty-four thousand exits despite scoring and grabbing three bonus points against Fulham for ten points. The issue? Liverpool face Arsenal away on Thursday, one of the toughest fixtures in the calendar. Wirtz has two goals and two assists this season with six clean sheets, but at eight point two million and ten point five percent ownership, managers are cashing in before the big game. Verdict: Hold. He's still got quality, and one tough fixture shouldn't trigger a panic sale. Liverpool have great fixtures after Arsenal.
Differential time. Three low-owned players who could explode in Gameweek twenty-one.
Vitaly Janelt at four point nine million pounds and just zero point one percent owned. The Brentford midfielder grabbed two assists against Everton, finishing with eleven points including a bonus point. Playing ninety minutes in a rampant Brentford side, he faces Sunderland at home on Wednesday. Absolute bargain enabler who's contributing.
Martin Odegaard at seven point eight million pounds with two point four percent ownership. Arsenal's captain got an assist and two bonus points against Bournemouth for seven points. One goal and three assists this season isn't explosive, but Arsenal play Liverpool in the game of the week. If the Gunners win, Odegaard will be central to it. Differential captain shout for the brave.
Tijjani Reijnders at five point two million pounds and twelve point three percent owned. Manchester City's midfielder scored against Chelsea for ten points with two bonus. Five goals and two assists this season, and City face Brighton at home on Wednesday. At five point two million, he's premium midfield cover at a budget price.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek twenty-one: Bruno Guimaraes against Leeds at home. Newcastle are defensively solid, Leeds are struggling, and Bruno is involved in everything. Six point seven expected points for Wirtz against Arsenal is tempting, but the safer play is Bruno.
One key tip: Don't overthink Bruno Fernandes. If he's fifty percent to play, that's too risky before a Tuesday deadline. Move him out if you own him or wait for team news, but don't captain him.
