🔥 Top Transfer Targets
Jean-Philippe Mateta
Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland (Man City)
Erling Haaland (£14.7m) - The Norwegian machine is essential. With 11 goals this season, including a double-digit haul in GW8 (13 points), he's been transferred in by over 300,000 managers. Currently owned by 66.4% of teams, he's looking unstoppable.
Jurrien Timber (Arsenal)
Jurrien Timber (£6.0m) - Arsenal's defensive dynamo. With 4 clean sheets, 2 goals, and 2 assists this season, he's attracted 135,000+ transfers. At 21% ownership, he's becoming a popular pick for Arsenal's favorable fixture run.
Nick Woltemade (£7.4m) - The budget forward sensation. With 4 goals and consistent minutes under Eddie Howe, he's been transferred in by 547,000 managers. Scored 8 points in GW8 and looks essential at his price point.
⚠️ Transfer Out Candidates
Bruno Guimaraes (£6.5m) - Just 2 points in GW8 despite 85 minutes. Better options available at his price point.
Sean Longstaff (£4.9m) - Minimal attacking threat with just 1 goal and 1 assist all season.
Emiliano Buendia (£5.3m) - Limited minutes make him too risky despite recent goal.
🎯 Differential Picks (<10% Ownership)
Matheus Nunes (£5.3m, 0.6%) - Man City defender with clean sheet potential
Acheampong (£3.9m, 1.6%) - 14 points in GW8 with goal and clean sheet
Palhinha (£5.5m, 1.4%) - Attacking freedom under Frank's system
©️ Captaincy Pick
Haaland remains the standout choice with 12.8 expected points. His ruthless form makes him the essential captain pick for GW9.
