Welcome back to your daily FPL briefing! Thanks for being part of the Who Got The Points community. As we gear up for Gameweek 25, we're breaking down the standout performances from GW24, analyzing the top transfer movements, and identifying the differential picks that could transform your mini-league standing.
🚨 Injury & Team News
Arsenal's Saliba picked up a minor knock in the 4-0 demolition of Leeds but is expected to be fine for the Gameweek 25 clash against Sunderland. Meanwhile, Leeds manager Daniel Farke may look at goalkeeper alternatives after Darlow's four-goal concession ahead of their tricky Friday night fixture against Nottingham Forest.
Transfer window activity: Aston Villa have completed signings of Abraham and Luiz, giving manager Unai Emery fresh attacking options ahead of their trip to Bournemouth.
Chelsea's João Pedro came off the bench to deliver a goal and assist against West Ham despite only playing 45 minutes, confirming he remains a rotation risk under Liam Rosenior.
📈 Top Transfers IN
1. Scott (Bournemouth) - £5.0m
Ownership: 0.4% | GW24 Points: 13 | Total Points: 84
Nearly 3,000 managers brought in this absolute masterclass after Gameweek 24. Scott started and played the full 90 minutes against Wolves, scoring once, keeping a clean sheet, and bagging maximum bonus for 13 points. That's exceptional value from a £5.0m midfielder.
Scored his 2nd goal of the season in GW24
2 goals, 2 assists on the season (84 total points)
Current form rating: 5.6
Upcoming fixtures: Aston Villa (H), then Everton
Only 0.4% owned - flying completely under the radar
Verdict: Essential differential. At £5.0m with this form, he's perfect for freeing up funds elsewhere while actually delivering returns.
2. Enzo (Chelsea) - £6.8m
Ownership: ~20% | GW24 Points: 8 | Total Points: 114
Nearly 60,000 managers brought him in and he repaid them with 8 points against West Ham. Started the full 90 minutes and scored his 8th goal of the season, picking up 2 bonus points.
Season stats: 8 goals, 3 assists (114 total points)
Expected points for GW25: 6.8
Upcoming fixtures: Wolves (A) - tasty matchup
Becoming a popular pick at ~20% ownership
Verdict: Good buy for the short term. The algorithm rates him highly with strong underlying numbers, making him an attractive option for the next few gameweeks.
3. Gabriel (Arsenal) - £6.9m → £7.0m
Ownership: 39% | GW24 Points: 8 | Total Points: 129
Over 23,000 managers jumped on him this week, and his price is rising to £7.0m. The Arsenal defender kept his 11th clean sheet of the season against Leeds, playing the full 90 minutes for 8 points.
Season stats: 3 goals, 2 assists, 11 clean sheets (129 total points)
Upcoming fixtures: Sunderland (H), Tottenham (A), Sunderland (Cup)
Premium defensive asset with real attacking ceiling
39% owned - becoming essential for Arsenal coverage
Verdict: Essential. With Arsenal's defensive solidity and his attacking threat from set pieces, Gabriel is must-have defensive coverage at this stage of the season.
📉 Top Transfers OUT
1. Thiago (Brentford) - £7.1m
Ownership: ~35% | Season Goals: 16
Despite being £7.1m and owned by over 35% of managers, he's hemorrhaging transfers with nearly 50,000 moving him out this week. Brentford haven't played yet this gameweek, but the fixture swing is concerning.
Upcoming fixtures: Aston Villa (A), Newcastle (H), Arsenal (A), Brighton (A), Burnley (H)
Expected points for next match: 6.6 (still decent)
16 goals already this season shows his quality
At £7.1m, many managers are cashing in before the tough run
Verdict: Hold for now, but watch that fixture swing. His underlying numbers are still strong, so don't panic sell just yet.
2. João Pedro (Chelsea) - £7.4m
Ownership: High | GW24 Points: 10 | Total Points: 114
Yes, he scored 10 points as a substitute against West Ham (1 goal, 1 assist), but only played 45 minutes. That's the issue. Over 100,000 brought him in, but nearly 4,000 are already selling.
Season stats: 9 goals, 5 assists (114 total points)
Rotation risk under Liam Rosenior despite strong output
Upcoming fixtures: Wolves (A), Leeds (H), Burnley (A) - decent run
At £7.4m, minutes uncertainty is concerning
Verdict: Sell if you need the funds, otherwise monitor his starting status closely. Don't panic sell after one benching - he delivered when he came on. Check team news before GW25.
3. Hall (Newcastle) - £5.3m
Ownership: 2.9% | GW24 Points: 3
Played 88 minutes against Liverpool in a 2-0 defeat, picking up just 3 points. Newcastle's defense has been leaky, conceding 21 goals with Hall on the pitch.
Upcoming fixtures: Brentford (A), Manchester City (H), Tottenham (A)
Only 2.9% owned - not widely held anyway
Defensive stats not inspiring confidence
Verdict: Sell. With Newcastle's defensive issues and those fixtures ahead, there are better options at this price point.
💎 Differential Picks
Kroupi Jr (Bournemouth) - £4.7m
Ownership: 5.7% | GW24 Points: 7 | Total Points: 64
Scored his 8th goal of the season against Wolves, playing 67 minutes for 7 points including bonus. He's a budget enabler who's actually delivering.
8 goals this season from just £4.7m
Upcoming fixtures: Aston Villa (H), Everton (A), West Ham (H)
Under £5m makes him perfect for freeing up funds elsewhere
Only 5.7% owned - genuine differential
Scott (Bournemouth) - £5.0m (Yes, Again!)
At 0.4% ownership and £5.0m after a 13-point haul, Scott deserves mentioning twice. Bournemouth's fixtures aren't amazing, but his form is exceptional. If you need a fifth midfielder who actually plays and produces, he's your man.

🔥 Captaincy for Gameweek 25

Differential Captain: Ekitiké (Liverpool) - High risk against Manchester City, but he showed his quality with 2 goals against Newcastle. If you're chasing in your mini-league, this could be a season-defining differential call.
