Transfers

Market Forces – Gameweek 4

It was another dramatic weekend in Fantasy Premier League, with transfer bandwagons failing to deliver, while those managers who ejected ailing assets like Kevin De Bruyne and Harry Kane were left haunted by their decision.

Continuing our series of weekly articles, we at whogottheassist.com are reviewing and commenting on trends and behaviours in the FPL market place, looking at common themes and giving our view on the viability of the transfers taking place.

Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane’s minus-two-point return and subsequent suspension for his “uncontrolled challenge” on Manchester City’s Ederson has unquestionably had the biggest impact on the market.

Over 369,000 managers have already joined the exodus from Mane following Liverpool’s hammering at the Etihad.

Many managers will wring their hands with frustration as a result of Saturday’s early kick-off, in particular, those 50,000+ who had swapped De Bruyne out for Mane last week. That was the second most popular direct trade ahead of Gameweek 4, resulting in an 11-point swing and a red flagged Mane to contend with.

Almost inevitably, some are now turning to the Belgian, with over 40,000 managers transferring De Bruyne in for the Senegalese – no doubt some immediately after dismissing the City man prior to his nine points.

Spurs’ Christian Eriksen is another beneficiary of Mane’s red card. A goal at Everton elevated his claim as the prime candidate to replace the suspended Liverpool winger.

On the cusp of a kindly fixture run, it is no surprise that people are turning their eye towards the Dane, with over 78,000 direct transfers made so far between Mane and Eriksen.

Interestingly, Dele Alli – who is suspended from the next three Champions League matches – has seen less than half the same level of interest, with just over 30,000 managers turning from Mane to the England midfielder.

What is surprising is that Alli is also earning sales and has suffered a net transfer deficit so far. Significantly, over 10,000 have opted for an awkward sideways move from Alli to Eriksen.

Ben Davies

Defences let many of us down this Gameweek, with sides like Manchester United, Chelsea, West Brom and Southampton – all very popular sources – conceding goals.

In contrast, a pair of assists and a shut-out for Ben Davies has proved the catalyst for his ownership to soar, making the Welshman the most popular transfer target in the Gameweek.

Incredibly, he now tops the overall points standings, sparking over 150,000 managers to draft him in and prompting an early price rise to 5.7.

His coverage of set-piece duties looks central to the appeal.

So far this season only Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil (both 15) have created more chances, with Burnley’s Robbie Brady the only player to supply more crosses (33). The potential for attacking returns alongside Spurs’ clean sheets will continue while Davies maintains those rates.

Kieran Trippier appeared to be the weapon of choice in Mauricio Pochettino’s side in pre-season, but with injury problems and new signing Serge Aurier now looming, managers are understandably drifting towards Davies at pace.

There remains a future risk of rotation, with Danny Rose still in rehabilitation from injury. But following Rose’s histrionics over the summer, the Welshman may even be established as first choice having grasped his opportunity to impress.

Doucore, Choup-Moting, Gross

The mid-range midfield asset roulette continues as yet more candidates stepped forward to press their claims, with prior flavours of the month Richarlison and Jese already faded glamour.

Stoke City’s Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting had turned the head of just 7,609 managers before this weekend, but a brace against Manchester United has alerted the masses to the 5.5 midfielder’s potential.

Over 95,000 managers have since reacted to the weekend’s events by drafting in the former Schalke man.

Watford’s Abdoualaye “Duke” Doucoure – now up to 5.2 – is also attracting major interest after netting his second goal of the season: over 109,000 have brought him in so far, making him the third most popular transfer-in play.

Pascal Gross, at a cut-price 5.4, delivered the biggest single return by a player this season in Brighton’s win over West Brom. A total of 18 points – made up of two goals and an assist – has persuaded over 68,000 to acquire his services.

All three are picking up new owners from Mane’s departure, with managers perhaps seeking to move funds to the attack to capitalise on the rise of heavy-hitters in that area.

Alvaro Morata

Speaking of which, despite Romelu Lukaku scoring his fourth goal in four matches, the Manchester United forward currently has a transfer deficit of 23,000 ahead of Gameweek 5.

So why are people selling him?

It could be down to Manchester United’s stiffening fixtures, while many may already have “coverage” in midfield via Henrikh Mkhitaryan and/or Paul Pogba.

Another reason could be that Alvaro Morata – one of the main men who is attracting Lukaku’s former owners – is 1.6m cheaper.

Another goal for the Spanish forward brought his tally to four strikes and two assists from four outings and, in FPL terms, this has translated into 34 points at 8.5 points per game.

Due to a lack of pitch-time at Real Madrid, a great many were initially reluctant to swoop for Morata.

However, now seemingly fit and firing, the Spaniard is gaining in popularity, with over 88,000 managers swooping so far, making him the most transferred-in forward over this round.

However, other premium forwards – not least Harry Kane and Gabriel Jesus – have also come to the fore, meaning that Morata’s bandwagon is steady rather than soaring off at speed.

Few will now be shifting Kane after he ended his traditional August hiatus, meaning that Lukaku looks to be the fall guy for many attempting to try something different up front and free up some funds.

Wayne Rooney, Chicharito

Despite having an attractive price of 7.6, back-to-back blanks have prompted Rooney owners into an exit; he is the third most sold player ahead of Gameweek 5 with over 77,000 sales.

Everton have struggled so far. They have had the fewest shots of all teams with only seven on target. However, with the fixtures turning in Gameweek 6, we have to wonder if these sales are somewhat premature.

Options in the same price bracket certainly appear limited. West Ham’s Chicharito is also experiencing heavy losses with over 83,000 managers dumping him following a 63-minute blank, making the Mexican the second most sold player this Gameweek.

Against the odds, Arsenal’s Danny Welbeck – who scored his first brace in the Premier League in Gameweek 3 – is one of the major beneficiaries of the Rooney and Chicharito fallout; over 44,000 have so far moved to the Gunners man, who will surely soon come under threat from a recalled Alexis Sanchez.

Final Thoughts

Looking at the numbers overall, what is becoming clear is that this season appears a different beast to the last one, with transfer volumes lower, despite the addition of over a million extra managers.

After last season’s supermarket sweep of a transfer market, with prices incredibly volatile, the numbers at the start of this term seem to show a swing towards a more conservative approach.

For instance, only 275,254 players used their Wildcard over the first international break, while in 2016/17, 310,522 activated the chip.

Additionally, total transfers between Gameweeks 3-4 only showed a very slight increase. We saw 7,863,661 transfers prior to Gameweek 4, compared with 7,268,511 during the same spell last season.

Remembering that there are 20% more players, this represents quite a downturn in activity.

When comparing transfers made during Gameweeks 2 and 3 across the two seasons, we witnessed over two million more each time in 2017/18. But this dropped to just 559,000+ more during the break.

This may be borne out of uncertainty when committing to transfers: the tendency for swaps in and out to backfire (in some cases spectacularly) in the opening Gameweeks may have prompted a cautious, wait and see approach.

Equally, it may be that injury and suspension have restricted managers to enforced changes rather than use multiple transfers to carry out surgery and move for bandwagons.

There are further factors to consider, though, with the return of some proven big hitters perhaps poised to break up the early template.

With the likes of Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez yet to have an impact on our seasons, managers may be showing early caution and reserving Wildcards and transfer hits with this in mind.

With fixtures swinging for some clubs from Gameweek 6, the market may well recover dramatically, with high activity due around that period.

        I did this but for Cedric. There's not attacking returns from any SOU players not to mention they aren't keeping CS at mo either. 5.5 isn't worth it currently

      2. skodaole2

        Only 5 at home before the FT (so 6 at most) and pretty confident. And no MCI player ofc. Good luck

    WC Team
    mainly 4-4-2 but offers 4-3-3 or 5-2-3 options

    Eliot - Pope
    Alonso - Kolasinac - Mendy - Bavies - Ward (burnley)
    Alli - Coutinho - Gundogan - Gross - RLC
    Lukaku - Jesus - Joselu

      Gundogan?

      1. rnrd
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        He's my secret weapon.
        I believe the guy is going to change the shape of Man City. Look at his Point per minutes last year. At 5.4 is a bargain and he is close to a return

        1. Sailboats
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          LEL. 0 Minutes played. 0 points.

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            0,058 points per minutes
            David Silva was 0,047 last year as a comparison

            1. Sailboats
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              He barely played 10 games last season but if u want to bring a player who has played 0 minutes this season be my guest. I can guarantee that you'll be asking "Sell Gundogan for who?" in 2 weeks time.

              1. rnrd
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                He was injured last year 😉
                Of course he will share gametime but he is one hell of a differential.

                Let's watch him tonight in CL and see.. 😉

                1. FPL.team
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 6 months ago

                  He is not a differential when he doesn't play.

                  Who is he going to replace?

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Gundogan?? Might as well get Choupo-Moting and ride the price rises.

    3. Bluth Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't go without Kane personally, and I would look at more assured starters than Gündogan in a wildcard team. He might come good, but you never know.

      1. rnrd
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        All other players cover each other pretty well I think. Except maybe RLC which could probably be switched to a more nailed Carroll but I don't fear being stucj with a 10 man team with this 15

    4. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't want to take this many risks on a WC.

      Downgrade Mendy (most vulnerable to rotation out of those I'd say) and rotate your 4th/5th DEF.

      Gundogan is extremely risky without any indication of when or how much he will play. Gross is still just a one week wonder so far, needs monitoring. RLC plays for CPL.

      1. rnrd
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I don't see Mendy being rotated a lot?
        Who would Pep play ? Sané as a LWB (he tried and it failed). Danilo sometimes?
        I think it might happen for the cup games but otherwise I think Mendy is as nailed as possible

    5. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Im all for some heavy hitters in defense, but that's just too much. And gundigan had a high ppg last year because he got lucky and scored when he played 2 games and then was injured for the rest of the season.

      That secret weapon won't be firing much...

  5. Bluth Banana
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Considering swapping Manè and Chicha for one of the following;

    A) Ritchie and Jesus
    B) Hazard and Abraham

    Thoughts?

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Alonso The Great Midfielder

      prefer a..

  6. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Worth using 2FTs to do:

    Bailly and Yoshida -> Jones and Bavies

    ? (After the CL games of course)

    1. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years

      hell yeah

    3. Konstaapeli

      Solid plan.

    4. Jimjam

    De Gea (Elliot)
    Davies, Danilo, Monreal, Cedric (Hunemeier)
    Alli, Salah, Pogba (Carroll, RLC)
    Lukaku, Jesus, Chicharito

    2FT, 0.5 in bank

    0.1 short of doing Monreal & Chicharito --> 4.5m & Firmino

    Worth taking a -4 to do De Gea, Monreal, Chicharito --> Fabianski, Jones, Firmino?

  9. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Alli to Eriksen is a ridiculous move!

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      You asking or telling?

      1. Bluth Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Seems telling 😉

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Beg to disagree. Either are long term staples in any team. If one think Eriksen will outscore Alli long term, worth a transfer imho. Unless one is planning WC in near future anyway

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Personally prefer Eriksen:

      Involved in more goals
      BPS magnet
      Less likely to get booked sent off

      But Alli
      Scores more
      Arguably more explosive

    4. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Short term - too sideways, avoid.
      Long term - fine, if no other urgent changes needed.

    5. Individual
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think it's too sideways as well. Alli will be back

  10. Swanremainsthesame
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Had to hit the WC with Mane*,Fraser*,Kompany*Yoshida*,Gomez*,Long*,Smith*
    meaning I needed 4FT just to get a team on the pitch.

    Lossl,Elliot
    Alonso,BDavies,Femenia,Wimmer,Naughton
    Eriksen,Mkhi,Doucoure,Moting,GroB
    Kane,Morata,Firminho
    0.4itb

    I could squeeze some out of Naughton, but not seeing a target to spend the extra on myself. I know I have 3 flavours-of-the-week with cheap mids; but my excuse is I already had GroB; and Moting was on my watchlist.

    ??

    1. George James

      What are you actually asking mate?

      Looks good

      1. Swanremainsthesame
        • 8 Years

        Nothing really needs changing?

  11. George James
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Stephens + Tadic >> Bavies + Moting -4 yay or nay???

    DDG (Elliot)
    Dawson Ake Stephens (Mee,long)
    Ritchie Erik Tadic Antonio (Carrol)
    Firminio Lukaku Kane

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years

      yay

    2. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yay

  12. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Mané+Gabbiadini > Antonio+Firmino to leave the following?... Hopefully my defence pull through.

    Elliot
    Yoshida • Trippier • Daniels
    Eriksen(vc) • Antonio • Mkhitaryan • Atsu
    Kane(C) • Lukaku • Firmino
    (Foster, Suttner, Carroll, Long)

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Have a feeling Yoshida might just get the nod this week.

      He came back from a long haul flight from Asia maybe that's why he was rested. And they dint do well without him.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah agree mate. Hoping Aurier starts in the CL too, making Trippier likely to possibly start in the PL. You agree with the Antonio+Firmino moves over Salah+Chicha after last night? Thanks

  13. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Better option?

    1) Bertrand ➡ Davies
    2) Stephens ➡ Maguire
    3) Stephens & Mounie ➡
    Davies & 5.5m Striker (-4)

    If option 3:

    A) Tammy (Has Spurs this week)
    B) Joselu (Have Ritchie)

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. George James
      • 9 Years

      1. Easily

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Tough call. Do you have Stephens, Yoshida and Bertrand?

    3. Deus
      • 7 Years

      Nice arrows

  14. I AM GROOT!!!
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    How does this look ? This is my current team:

    Forster
    Alonso Kolasinac Mendy Bavies
    Alli Brady Atsu
    Vardy Kane Lukaku

    Elliot - RLC - Carroll - Long

    I just want to know what people think of a heavy defence instead of a heavy mid. I seem to be doing good with this approach this season. Not sure how long this run will last.

    1. kfreeman93
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think your midfield is probably too weak, I see what you're trying to do but downgrading someone like Mendy for a 4.5 wouldn't do you too much harm. Brady and Atsu make for grim reading.

    2. MTPockets
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Defence too heavy imo, but if it works leave it.

      • ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        don't mind the theory. but there is a weak midfield and then a really weak midfield and i'm afraid yours falls into the latter.

        at some point that midfield is going to burn you i think

      • Swanremainsthesame
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        IF he performs like last season you can claim Alonso as a oop MID.
        But relying on 4 of them to do that seems a bit much.

        Especially when some 5.5 ~ 7 mids have started poking their heads out the trenches.

    3. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Exciting week having Firmino, Kane & Lukaku as your front three. I really like the fixtures.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Indeed

      2. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        agree

    4. shearer9
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      People selling Lukaku; he had three big chances this week, while Kane had just one. If his finishing was better he could have had a hattrick.
      Potential caveat is that his one-on-one may have counted as two big chances, as he took two attempts to finish.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        But Lukaku is a donkey while Kane can score hat-tricks for fun out of nothing.

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Remember Lukaku vs Sunderland?

            there is no Sunderland in PL at the moment

              Crystal Palace.

                6 years, 6 months ago

                New manager who might sort that defence out with Riedewald, Sakho, Dann and TFM they will be solid. Can't compare them with that Sunderland with O'Shea.

        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        so what is better for you?
        having more big chances and less goals or more goals but less big chances?

        1. shearer9
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          As an indicator of future goals - more big chances.

          1. FotnikPL
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Fair enough. As long as FPL give points for goals not for big chances I will be fine with Kane.

        2017/2018

        Lukaku - 14 shots on goal - 4 goals
        Kane - 17 shots on goal - 2 goals

        Have a lovely day.

      4. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I would love Kane and Lukaku. I just can't afford them both without making some compromises that I don't want to do.

      5. FotnikPL
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        You should take a note that's not only about Lukaku. It is also where will you upgrade. So it means Lukaku+Gabbiadini Vs Morata/Jesus+Firmino. Having Kane as (C) for next 5 weeks I feel it is worth to take the risk.

        1. shearer9
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I've currently got Lukaku, Firmino and Morata which I'm very happy with. The only issue is whether I get Kane in for Lukaku, as I have 1.4 ITB.

          1. FotnikPL
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            So now it's totally different story. You should stick with Lukaku as good (C) option in few next GWs. My point is about FWD line with both Kane and Lukaku + 7.0 FWD. You shouldn't be surprised people looking to get in form Morata or Jesus with his coming fixtures and Firmino for 3rd slot in place of other rubbish assets.
            Having 11.7 player and not giving him (C) for over a month convinced me to move to cheaper option and upgrading 7.0 to Firmino (no Liverpool MID in my team).

            1. shearer9
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah fair enough that makes sense, cheers buddy.

              1. FotnikPL
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                Good luck there. I am sure you'll be fine with Lukaku but in my case if I should choose only one - it's Kane all day. I just hope Lukaku and his ownership won't make too much damage. I fully understand the risk and accept it.

      Can someone explain to me what's the draft league? How to play it?

          Love the answer.

    6. OldBenKenobi

      I love it when you look at your team and think jeeze that looks so over budget! 😀

      1. George James
        • 9 Years

        Let's have a look

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Thought you'd never ask 😛

          Foster
          Davies, Jones, Alexander-Arnold
          Eriksen-Salah-Mkhitaryan-Loftus-Cheek
          Kane-Lukaku-Firmino

          Elliot-Carroll-Naughton-Mbemba

          Try making it yourself and see if your within budget 😉

            • 11 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            It looks under budget to me immediately 😆

            TAA, Mbemba, RLC, Carrol

            1. OldBenKenobi
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Try making it then....

                • 11 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                It is expensive than I thought. If you have Eriksen, Jones, Firminio, Mkhi for their rises it's affordable. Are you just making this in WC now?

                1. OldBenKenobi
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 6 months ago

                  Nope. WC last week and took a hit for Davies before his rise. Risky move I know.... 🙂

      Hi, need your help on this.

      Chica-Mkhi-Hegazi --> Firmino-Groß-Bavies+0.5m (for -4)

      Yes or Not worth? Why?

      My reason is Bavies have great fixtures and want to have Firmino, Kane and Lukaku as forwards.

      Thanks.

      Hi.
      Would really appriciate help with my team.

      Foster - Fabianski

      Mee- Jones - Hegazi - Bertrand - Danilo

      Eriksen - D.Silva - Willian - Salah - Carroll

      Lukaku - Jesus - J.Rod.

      2 Ft. zero in the bank.

      Thinking of playing my WC next international break, so changes is done with the next 3 gw in mind.

      Do I go:

      Lukaku , Betrand, J.Rod ------> Kane, B.Davies and Quaner. for minus 4.

      Or do I close my eyes and go without Kane against Swans, and just do:

      Bertrand & J.Rod for B.Davies and Quaner

      or

      Bertrand & Willian for B.Davies and Choupa-Mouting. (to free som money for future transfers)

    15. Fpl Richie
