Kick Off Notes
Double Gameweek for Arsenal and Wolves.
Can that Man Utd fan finally get his trim this week… or could West Ham crush his dreams?
Spurs vs Newcastle looks the most competitive fixture of the weekend.
This Gameweeks Outlook
Triple Arsenal will be front of mind with the only confirmed Double Gameweek outside of GW33. With chips still in play for many, how you approach this week has knock-on effects later.
Worth noting Arsenal have an FA Cup game between fixtures, so minutes matter more than ever — prioritising nailed starters over upside feels key.
Market Watch
Top Transfers In
Player | Why | Teams Thoughts |
|---|---|---|
Jao Pedro | Strong underlying numbers and form (Great xG) | Fixtures look kind and forward options are thin — feels like a reasonable punt rather than a must. |
Bruno Fernandes | Utd’s main man | Everything runs through him; if Utd perform, he’s usually involved and worth monitoring. |
Declan Rice | Double Gameweek and secure minutes. | A steady Arsenal route into the double — less explosive, but very reliable. |
Top Transfers Out
Player | Why | Teams Thoughts |
|---|---|---|
Tarkowski | Solid asset, but defensive returns look uncertain and the price feels harder to justify if they don’t land. | One to monitor rather than rush — understandable sell for now. |
Romero | Red Card merchant with a 4 game suspension coming | Plonker, get him out |
Woltemade | Minutes aren’t secure. | Rotation with Wissa makes him unreliable at this price point. |
TL:DR
Arsenal dominate the conversation this week with the Double Gameweek, and many managers are positioning accordingly.
João Pedro, Summerville and Enzo remain popular picks on current form, with underlying numbers keeping them on the radar.
Last Gameweek
GW25: 78 points
A green arrow, sitting around 710k overall and closing ground in the mini-league.
Dewsbury-Hall finally paid off with a 13-pointer after a long hold through injury. On the flip side, Enzo was frustrating — Chelsea very much felt like the Palmer show.
On this day in Football History
In February 1979, Trevor Francis became Britain’s first footballer transferred for over £1 million when he moved from Birmingham City to Nottingham Forest under Brian Clough — a milestone that redefined transfer valuations in English football.
Good luck this game week.
