GW35 Transfers Revealed: The Differential Nobody Is Talking About

Welcome back, and thanks for subscribing to Who Got The Points! With Gameweek 35 fast approaching and a Friday 1st May deadline at 17:30, there's no time to waste. Here's everything you need to know to get your transfers right before the whistle blows.

Before we get into the transfers, here are the key headlines shaping your GW35 planning:

Price: £7.6m | Ownership: 9.6% | GW34 Points: 13 | Season: 13 goals, 3 assists | Total Points: 168 | xP GW35: 11.2 | Form: 11.7

Gibbs-White was the star of the show in Forest's 5-0 demolition of Sunderland, scoring, assisting, keeping a clean sheet, and picking up two bonus points for 13 fantasy points. He is operating centrally in that effective 4-4-2 system and his form rating of 11.7 is the highest of any player in our data. His expected points of 11.2 for GW35 against Chelsea away are exceptional for a midfielder at his price.

We flagged him as a hold two days ago, but after that performance he has firmly moved into the buy bracket. With 13 goals and 3 assists this season and 168 total points, the underlying case is rock solid.

Price: £5.5m | Ownership: 1.5% | Season: 7 goals, 3 assists | xP GW35: 10.8 | Form: 10.3

This is the differential of the week. Okafor is flying completely under the radar at just 1.5% ownership, yet he's already racking up 12,000 transfers in this gameweek. His expected points of 10.8 for GW35 are the highest in our data, and his form rating of 10.3 is outstanding. Leeds host Burnley on Friday 1st May - a fixture rated 1-3 in difficulty, making it a very favourable home tie. Seven goals and three assists this season at this price and ownership is extraordinary value.

One critical timing note: Leeds vs Burnley kicks off on Friday evening - the same day as the GW35 deadline. If you want Okafor, you need to act early. Don't sleep on this one.

Price: £6.4m | Ownership: 10.5% | Season: 4 goals, 11 assists | xP GW35: 8.2 | Form: 7.7 | Transfers In This GW: 21,000+

Cherki has been one of the most creative players in the Premier League this season with a remarkable 11 assists alongside 4 goals. Over 21,000 managers have already brought him in this gameweek, and it's easy to see why. Man City travel to Everton in GW35 and Cherki's expected points of 8.2 make him a solid mid-price option in a City side full of attacking intent. We recommended him two days ago as a good buy and that stance remains.

Price: £4.7m | Ownership: 4.3% | Season: 1 goal, 4 assists | Form: 5.7

Bournemouth have kept 9 clean sheets this season and Truffert has contributed 4 assists and 1 goal, but GW35 sees them host Crystal Palace, a side with nothing to lose in the run-in. Bournemouth's fixture schedule gets trickier from here, and with a form score of just 5.7 compared to cheaper, higher-ceiling options elsewhere, the value simply isn't there. Free up those funds for the upgrades above.

Price: £5.1m | Ownership: 2.6% | Season: 3 goals, 2 assists | xP GW35: 5.7

Scott is actually seeing net transfers out this week, and it's understandable. Three goals and two assists across the entire season is underwhelming at £5.1m. Expected points of 5.7 for GW35 doesn't suggest a haul is coming, and with Okafor available at £5.5m with far greater upside, the argument for keeping Scott barely holds up.

Price: £6.4m | Ownership: 2.5% | Season: 2 goals, 8 assists | Total Points: 90 | Form: 5.3

The potential is clearly there - 2 goals and 8 assists this season - but Doku's form has dipped to 5.3 and his total points haul of 90 is poor for his price tag. With Cherki being the more consistent attacking outlet in that Man City midfield right now, double-dipping in City midfield with both is inefficient. Cherki is simply the better call at the same price point.

Price: £5.1m | Ownership: 32.8% | Season: 3 goals, 4 assists, 12 clean sheets | xP GW35: 8.2

At 32.8% ownership, Guéhi is widely held rather than a true differential, but his expected points of 8.2 for GW35 are enormous for a defender. Twelve clean sheets, three goals, and four assists this season make him exceptional value. Man City face Everton away in GW35 - rated 4-3 in difficulty - but City's defensive record is elite. If you want a value defender with attacking returns, Guéhi is the pick.

Price: £4.6m | Ownership: 9.6% | Season: 3 goals, 3 assists, 9 clean sheets | xP GW35: 5.7

Under £5m and under 10% ownership - this is genuine differential territory. Nine clean sheets, three goals, and three assists are exceptional numbers for a budget defender. Brighton travel to Newcastle in GW35, and with GW36 bringing a home fixture against Wolves, the run is appealing. He's picking up steady transfers in and represents strong value at his price point.

Price: £5.4m | Ownership: 0.6% | Season: 5 clean sheets (in matches featured) | xP GW35: 7.5

For the truly brave managers out there: Khusanov is owned by just 0.6% of FPL managers and has only conceded 9 goals in matches he's featured in, with 5 clean sheets to his name. His expected points of 7.5 for GW35 are eye-catching for a defender flying completely under the radar. If you want a sneaky Man City defensive punt before anyone else catches on, Khusanov is your man.

The captaincy decision for GW35 is straightforward. Gibbs-White delivered 13 points in GW34, carries the highest form rating in our dataset at 11.7, and has expected points of 11.2 against Chelsea away. He's operating centrally in Forest's effective 4-4-2, he's in irresistible form with 13 goals and 3 assists this season, and he's your standout armband option for GW35.
