Gameweek 24: Bruno Injury Chaos, Semenyo's Explosive Form, and Differential Captaincy Picks

Welcome to your comprehensive Gameweek 24 newsletter! Thanks for subscribing to Who Got The Points. We're breaking down all the critical injury updates, explosive form players, and differential picks you need to navigate the upcoming fixtures. Let's dive into the key decisions that could make or break your gameweek.

Bruno Guimaraes Injury Concern: The Newcastle midfielder is a major doubt for the Liverpool away fixture with an ankle injury. There's a 75% chance of playing, which is a huge concern for his 21% ownership. Over 46,000 managers have already transferred him out. Monitor the Saturday morning press conferences closely before making any rash decisions.

Semenyo's Sensational Season Continues: The Man City midfielder scored his 11th goal of the season in their 2-0 victory over Wolves, earning 8 points. At £7.7m and 47% ownership with 130 total points, he's showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. This is elite-level output from a mid-price option.

Marc Guehi's Man City Debut: The January signing made his debut against Wolves, immediately impressing Pep Guardiola. City kept a clean sheet (6 points for Guehi), and he looks like he's slotted straight into the defensive setup. At £6.0m with 111 total points, he's worth monitoring as he establishes himself.

Joe Gomez Injury Concern: The Liverpool defender picked up a knock in their shocking 3-2 loss at Bournemouth. Arne Slot will provide more details, but Liverpool's defensive options are thinning at a crucial time in the season.

Haaland & Foden Rotation: Both were benched for City's clash with Wolves as Pep rotated ahead of the Spurs fixture. Expect both to start against Tottenham in Gameweek 24.

Gameweek 23 Performance: 11 points (1 assist, clean sheet)

Season Stats: 1 goal, 5 assists, 105 total points

The Man City midfielder is offering serious attacking returns from a defensive position. He's started five of the last six matches and is clearly trusted by Guardiola. With City's fixtures turning favorable (Spurs next, then Newcastle), he's a differential that could explode in the coming weeks.

Verdict: Excellent buy for those chasing in mini-leagues. At just 3.2% ownership, he's a genuine differential who offers both attacking threat and clean sheet potential.

Gameweek 23 Performance: 12 points (1 goal, 1 assist, 3 bonus)

Season Stats: 7 goals, 3 assists, 105 total points

The West Ham forward delivered a stellar performance against Sunderland and is clearly back in form under Nuno Espirito Santo. He's notched three returns in his last four matches, showing consistent output. While Chelsea away isn't ideal for Gameweek 24, the fixture swing ahead makes him an attractive option.

Verdict: Good option with fixture swings on the horizon. His form curve is trending upward at exactly the right time.

Gameweek 23 Performance: 9 points (1 goal, 2 bonus)

Season Stats: 4 goals, 1 assist, 90 total points

The Spurs defender scored in the 2-2 draw with Burnley, bringing his season tally to an exceptional four goals. That's remarkable output for a centre-back at just £5.0m. He occasionally takes set-pieces and loves getting forward. While Man City away in Gameweek 24 is tough, Newcastle at home in Gameweek 25 offers excellent potential.

Verdict: Wait one more week, then pounce. His attacking threat combined with budget price makes him a compelling option after the City fixture.

The Injury Situation: Doubtful with an ankle injury (75% chance of playing). Over 46,000 managers have already transferred him out, and that injury cloud is a massive red flag. Liverpool away next isn't a favorable fixture either.

Verdict: Sell if you need the cash or have pressing issues elsewhere. However, don't panic sell if you have bigger problems in your squad. That 75% playing chance means he's likely to feature. Monitor the Saturday morning news closely before making a final decision.

Season Stats: 10 clean sheets, 120 total points

Now hear this out: Gabriel has been incredible this season with elite defensive returns. But at £6.9m, he's expensive. Arsenal face Man United, then Leeds, Sunderland, and Spurs in the next four gameweeks. That's not ideal for clean sheet chasing. If you're wildcarding or restructuring your defense, downgrading Gabriel to fund a premium attacker makes tactical sense.

Verdict: Hold if you're set and not making structural changes, but he's not untouchable. Consider downgrading if you need funds for attacking upgrades.

Season Performance: 83 points from 17 matches (4.9 points per game)

The Man United midfielder has just 1.5 expected points for Gameweek 24 against Fulham. His form has dipped to 1.5, and he's only averaging 4.9 points per game. That's underwhelming output for an £8.2m midfielder. With United's fixtures getting trickier, he's no longer essential.

Verdict: Sell if you need funds or want more explosive options. There are better value picks available at similar or lower price points.

The Arsenal captain is flying completely under the radar after injury struggles earlier in the season. He's got 5.3 expected points against Manchester United this weekend and is absolutely nailed for Arsenal. At just 2.3% ownership, he's a cheeky captaincy shout if you're feeling brave and want to make up ground in your mini-leagues.

Risk it for the biscuit: This is the type of differential that can completely transform mini-league standings if it pays off.

Season Stats: 90 points from 22 matches, 5 clean sheets

The Brentford defender has been consistently solid and offers set-piece threat. Brentford have kept things tight recently with improved defensive performances. They face Aston Villa next, then Newcastle and Arsenal. While not the easiest fixture run, at £5.0m he's cheap defensive cover who can deliver attacking returns.

One to watch: Perfect budget enabler who could surprise with attacking returns from set-pieces.

The Safe Choice: Semenyo (Man City)

Man City host Bournemouth at home, where they've been solid defensively and dominant going forward. Semenyo has 11 goals and 5 assists this season, totaling 130 points, and is in absolutely ridiculous form right now. At 47% ownership, NOT captaining him is actually the risky move.

Decision: Armband on Semenyo, job done. This is the week to follow the template and bank solid points rather than chase differentials.

Don't panic sell Bruno Guimaraes if you've got bigger problems elsewhere in your squad. That 75% chance of playing means he's likely to feature against Liverpool. Monitor the news Saturday morning closely, and if he's passed fit, he stays in your team. If not, you've got your free transfer ready to deploy. Make informed decisions rather than reactive ones.
