Description
Your Gameweek 27 FPL prep starts here on Who Got The Points? — and there's a lot to unpack before Saturday's 1:30pm deadline on the 21st of February. The biggest news: Bruno G. from Newcastle is sidelined until mid-April with a hamstring injury, meaning nearly 200,000 managers are already cutting him loose. Add Man Utd's Cunha and Fernandes to the watchlist too, as blanks and tough fixtures make them hard to justify at their price tags. Nottingham Forest's managerial shake-up — with Vitor Pereira replacing Sean Dyche — adds another layer of uncertainty ahead of their Gameweek 27 clash with Liverpool. Arsenal fans should monitor team news closely, with Calafiori and Havertz both carrying fitness concerns before the North London derby. On the transfer-in side, Semenyo at Man City is flying after a stunning 14-point haul in Gameweek 26 — goal, assist, clean sheet, and three bonus points — making him an essential pick. João Pedro at Chelsea is equally unmissable, with a dream home fixture against Burnley and expected points of 11. Budget gem Hill from Bournemouth at just £4.0m also continues to deliver serious value. In the differentials section, Rayan, Matheus N., and Sarr all offer unique upside under 5% ownership. Captaincy recommendation lands on João Pedro — as close to a banker as FPL gets right now. Visit whogotthepoints.com for more FPL insights and analysis.
