Transfers

FPL Transfer Market Watch – Gameweek 2

Gameweek 1 can often make a mockery of our careful Fantasy squad planning. All those hours spent tinkering with formations, reading up on the endless pre-season friendlies and analysing the salient data from the previous campaign can prove to be an exercise in futility when the Premier League season finally gets underway.

It was refreshing, then, to read of the many success stories among the Fantasy Premier League community last weekend and see FPL bosses’ groundwork rewarded with scores of approaching – or above – 100 points.

An average Gameweek 1 score of 53 points, although slightly down on last season’s opening-weekend mean, was all the more impressive given that there was such uncertainty over several teams’ starting XIs following the late return of their respective World Cup players.

While many FPL managers will be content with their lot and perhaps seek to roll a transfer for Gameweek 3, there has nevertheless been significant market activity since the Gameweek 1 deadline passed on Friday.

At the time of writing, eight players have risen in price in the last few days, all of whom delivered attacking returns for their respective clubs. Where there is a rise, there is almost always a fall: five FPL assets have dropped £0.1m as a result of their indifferent starts.

Just over 1.7 million transfers have been made on the ten-most-in demand FPL assets of this Gameweek, with still three days to go until the late-Saturday morning deadline.

Goalkeepers

A transfer used on a goalkeeper is never the most fulfilling one to make and, unsurprisingly, this market is currently the quietest of the four positions.

The short-termism that is prevalent in defence, midfield and attack is often lacking with the custodians between the sticks, with many FPL bosses having already decided on a set-and-forget option or a policy of rotating two cheap assets on a weekly basis.

Following his clean sheet return at the Emirates and a sea of blue/green on the season ticker ahead of him in the coming half-dozen Gameweeks, Ederson (£5.5m) is the most bought shot-stopper of the round. Having attracted almost 50,000 new owners since Friday night (most of them after full-time at the Emirates on Sunday), Ederson looks set to pass Lukasz Fabianski (£4.5m) this week as the third-most popular FPL goalkeeper: the Brazilian trails West Ham’s number one by only 0.1% in the ownership stakes.

Six of the seven most-bought goalkeepers of this round kept clean sheets at the weekend, the exception being the shot-stopper with the second-highest numbers of “transfers in”: Ben Hamer (£4.0m).

The Huddersfield goalkeeper got the nod over Jonas Lossl (£4.5m) for the Terriers’ opening-day defeat to Chelsea after impressing in pre-season and was the only sub-£4.5m goalkeeper to start over the weekend, making him a viable, budget-freeing substitute option – it is certainly hard to imagine many of his new owners will be fielding Hamer for the trip to the Etihad on Sunday. Whether the former Leicester City custodian will feature long-term for the Terriers is open to debate: Hamer’s distribution in the 3-0 loss to Chelsea was poor, though David Wagner’s comments after the match suggested Lossl was himself struggling for fitness and form.

Julian Speroni and Artur Boruc, still the two most popular £4.0m-rated goalkeepers in FPL, have suffered a net loss of owners (presumably) as a result.

Joe Hart (£4.5m) and Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) both impressed in the 0-0 draw between Burnley and Southampton at the weekend and have attracted over 28,000 and 27,000 new FPL managers respectively. Hart’s security of starts must still be in question, though, with Tom Heaton (£5.0m) fit enough to be on the bench for Sunday’s encounter with the Saints.

The two most-owned goalkeepers in the game, David de Gea (£6.0m) and Jordan Pickford (£5.0m) are also the two most-sold assets in their position ahead of Gameweek 2. Those transfers seem somewhat short-sighted, with Manchester United and Everton facing Brighton and Southampton this weekend – both of whom failed to score in Gameweek 1.

Defenders

Three defenders have already risen in price following their impressive attacking performances at the weekend: Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.1m), Benjamin Mendy (£6.1m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m).

Shaw’s goal in the 2-1 win over Leicester City on Friday night saw the United left-back instantly become the most-transferred in defender in the run-up to Gameweek 2, though the former Southampton full-back has since been passed by Wan-Bissaka and Mendy following their assists on Saturday and Sunday: the pair have attracted well over 200,000 new owners at the time of writing.

Wan-Bissaka was one of a number of viable £4.0m-rated defensive options available to Fantasy managers before the season had begun, but his assist, clean sheet return and maximum bonus points in the 2-0 win over Fulham on Saturday has seen the youngster catapulted to the second most-owned defender in the game: 19.6% of FPL managers own the Palace right-back at the time of writing, with that figure surely set to exceed the 20% mark by the time the Gameweek 2 deadline passes at 11:30 on Saturday morning.

Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m) and Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.5m) also delivered attacking returns in the victory at Craven Cottage, but they and centre-backs James Tomkins (£4.5m) and Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) have only been collectively bought by 71,900 new managers – around a third of the number that Wan-Bissaka has attracted.

Mendy’s premium defender price has not deterred investment in the French left-back, meanwhile, with Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) – still the most popular defender in the game – and Nicolas Otamendi (£6.5m)’s combined 162,000+ sales accounting for a large chunk of Mendy’s rise in ownership to just below 15%.

Two assists and a clean sheet for Jose Holebas (£4.5m) in Watford’s 2-0 win over Brighton has led to over 122,000 purchases for the veteran left-back, whose Hornets side next face a Burnley team who will have been in Europa League action less than 72 hours before their Sunday meeting.

Away from the form-related transfers – Marcos Alonso (£6.5m), Andrew Robertson (£6.0m) and Jan Vertonghen (£6.0m) being obvious targets – the selection of Ryan Bennett (£4.0m) over Romain Saiss (£4.5m) in the Wolves’ defence on Saturday evening has attracted the attention of over 32,000 FPL managers looking for more bargain-basement defensive options that could possibly make a start. The acquisition of Leander Dendoncker (£4.5m), however, means that Bennett could be on borrowed time in the back three.

Phil Jones (£5.4m), missing from the United squad on Friday evening, is the only defender who has dropped in price at the time of writing.

Midfielders

With five price rises and four drops since Friday night, the midfield has been the hottest area of activity since our focus switched to Gameweek 2.

Ruben Neves (£5.1m) is the most-bought player of all so far, attracting almost 260,000 new owners, and joins Richarlison (£6.6m), Sadio Mane (£9.6m), Roberto Pereyra (£6.1m) and Paul Pogba (£8.1m) in seeing an early price increase.

Neves’ superb free-kick and assist in the 2-2 draw with Everton on Saturday evening were headline-grabbing returns for a midfielder in the budget bracket, though his modest record in the Championship last season (six goals, one assist) still nags in the back of the mind when assessing his FPL worth. That Neves racked up 12 points at Molineux on Saturday without registering a single touch in the Everton penalty area underlines his lack of threat in the box from open play but also his influence on the game from deep regardless.

The sight of Richarlison limping from the field after his brace in that same match hasn’t deterred over 161,000 new managers from recruiting the Brazilian. With Southampton the visitors to Goodison Park this weekend, a fit Richarlison is a formidable prospect against a Saints team that conceded 16 shots at home to a Burnley side not renowned for its gung-ho attacking play.

The 12 most-bought midfielders of this round all found the back of the net at the weekend, with N’Golo Kante (£5.0m) among that dozen. Kante’s slightly more advanced role in Maurizio Sarri’s set-up could be significant this season, with the French midfielder already matching his goal tally for each of the last three campaigns. The former Leicester City man is now the third-most-owned midfielder in FPL, sitting in 21% of squads.

Son Heung-min (£8.4m) is by far the most-sold midfielder of the round, having lost over 150,000 of his owners and dropping £0.1m in price. That the Korean international was in so many teams to begin with is perhaps a surprise, given that it was full knowledge that he would depart for the Asian Games immediately after Gameweek 1. Even more bewilderingly, over 1,450 managers have since drafted him into their squads.

That Son only emerged as an 80th-minute substitute in the win over Newcastle rubbed salt into the wounds of the Fantasy bosses who owned him.

Leroy Sane‘s (£9.5m) omission from the Manchester City starting XI on Sunday has predictably led to a mass exodus, though more surprising are Kevin De Bruyne‘s (£10.0m) sales: over 58,700 managers have ditched the Belgian, though that desertion has been off-set by over 26,200 transfers in.

Though De Bruyne started on the bench at the Emirates after his late return from World Cup duty, the Belgian is as nailed a prospect in the City midfield as any of his team-mates: De Bruyne featured in 37 of City’s league matches last season, starting all but one of them. No City player in any position made more appearances for the league champions than the former Chelsea and Wolfsburg man.

With Huddersfield to come to the Etihad this weekend, his sellers may rue the decision to ditch him: De Bruyne recorded more assists (18) last season than any Premier League player. A counter-argument to that, of course, is that Riyad Mahrez (£9.0m) may well be sharing set-piece duties with the Belgian this season after featuring prominently at dead-ball situations at the Emirates.

Christian Eriksen (£9.5m) has also lost over 50,000 of his FPL backers, despite creating more chances than any midfielder in the Premier League this weekend. That goalscorer Dele Alli (£9.0m) has attracted almost the same amount of new owners would perhaps suggest that the bulk of those transfers are linked and the managers in question are following the points somewhat.

Cesc Fabregas (£6.4m), Ramadan Sobhi (£4.9m) and Anthony Martial (£7.4m) are the other three players who have experienced a price drop this week.

Forwards

All quiet on the attacking front this Gameweek, with not a single price rise or fall among FPL forwards.

Five of the most-bought strikers of the week all found the net at the weekend, with Callum Wilson (£6.0m) leading the “transfers in” stakes after attracting over 92,800 new owners.

Wilfred Zaha (£7.0m), Jamie Vardy (£9.0m), Raul Jimenez (£5.5m) and Joselu (£5.0m), each of whom was on target on Friday and Saturday, have all unsurprisingly increased in popularity too.

Manchester City’s favourable run of upcoming fixtures has seen plenty of investment in Sergio Aguero (£11.0m), despite the Argentinean forward blanking at the Emirates on Sunday: Aguero has been bought by 64,500 new FPL managers since the Gameweek 1 deadline passed and is now the second-most owned striker in the game, sitting in 32.2% of Fantasy squads.

Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) is still the most popular option in attack with his acquisition (45,990) and sales (44,395) figures effectively cancelling each other out after a so-so five-point return in the 4-0 win over West Ham United.

Harry Kane (£12.5m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) have each been sold by over 50,000 managers ahead of Gameweek 2, though as we discussed earlier, it may be premature to ditch our big hitters in attack with such favourable fixtures just around the corner.

      I'm hoping he he just puts his feet up and justifies my picking Josh King over him.

        Just adding to the large number of unhelpful and unfalsifiable comments on here. They seem popular.

        1. Eden Wizard

          They seem in abundance rather than popular, per-se

          Ah they’re not too bad midweek, gets worse as the games near

    Anyone brave enough to captain Sanchez or Kane?

    1. BadgersBoys
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I would be brave enough to Kane, if I had him.

      1. gunner79
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Got a bad feeling Kane is going to punish non owners

      2. Lukakwho
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Kane isn’t brave. He’s the most expensive striker playing at home to Fulham. I am captaining King though away to West Ham. Book mark this 😉

    (L'Equipe) Zinedine Zidane is eyeing the Premier League, particularly Manchester United as his next managerial career move.

    How would he fare in the PL? Will long balls and tougher playing styles expose him as a bald fraud?

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      What!? He's not really bald?

      1. Jokanovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Zidane did something, that Premier League will maybe never have a chance to see... So your comment on that post is equal to his baldness ...

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 5 Years

          lol at your triggering.

    2. BadgersBoys

      I don't think he's a fraud. I would guide my ma into my da to have him at my club.

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 10 Years

        Just thinking.. Maybe easier to guide my da into my ma though 🙂

    3. Agger
      • 7 Years

      If he can win La Liga and 3 champions leagues I'm pretty sure he can manage a team to beat 14 average teams and compete against 6 good teams

      Can't argue with the facts, preach.

  9. kirwy

    5 years, 7 months ago

    What's the take on Mitrovic? How did he do in the 1st game? Tough fixture coming up (Spurs away).

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      our attack flows through him, he's the focal point. Was unlucky not to score, Hennessey had a worldy. 7 shots bodes well.

      Cant see us sitting back against the top 6 too much if im being honest, just not our play style, so im happy to play Mitro

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Had plenty of shots and central to way Fulham play but Spurs away maybe not a good time to get him in.

    3. DRIZ ✅

  10. Dick_Whitman
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Any thoughts on 5.0m defenders? I like the Everton and Leicester fixtures and was thinking Keane or Pereira/Chilwell.

    The alternative is switching to Francis -> Bennett with view to starting to free up funds for BSilva -> De Bruyne in a few weeks.

    1. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Get in Ward

      1. Dick_Whitman
        • 14 Years

        Thanks, I'm worried about the Europa league hangover this week.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Maybe Mee or Tarko then. Don't get the impression that Gibson will come in anytime soon.

    2. ritzyd

      Pereira at leics is interesting gw1 oop too amd nice fixtures

  11. Ange Ball

    I'm actually lost what to do my plan was King to Arnie but really think KDB will smash it up this game week. Thoughts?

    Foster
    Daniels Mendy Robb
    Sanchez Salah Pedro Rich BSilva
    Aguero King

    1. BadgersBoys
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      So are you thinking Sanchez > KDB?

      1. Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I wish but already have 3 city I would have to out Aguero who i think be benched

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      well I don't think doing Bilva :arrow KDB is worth it this week at least. Just save your FT

    3. Dick_Whitman
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      If it were me I'd be holding King for now and getting KDB for Sanchez.

      Mendy, KDB and Aguero with those upcoming fixtures - you'd be unlucky if that doesn't work out for you.

      1. Dick_Whitman
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        My bad - I wouldn't take a hit to make it happen this week

      2. Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I would have to get rid of BSilva kis a keeper

    4. Son is Rising

    I'd hold if I were you. Only FT I'd consider is Pedro out to someone, but you can probably wait a week.

        what about for feeding your other animals?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Plant based pet food is healthy and accessible. If not the lab grown meat industry is on the rise. This is a much smaller issue than the human waste of feeding, providing water and eating 56 billion innocent lives a year

            Lab grown meat, yuck!

            Innocent 😮

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Same as any other meat just takes one small blood sample from a chicken, cow, sheep etc and you can multiply these cells infinitely to grow any body part/organ/egg you’d like. Exactly the same as it growing on a living organism that will be forced to suffer. Either way these things aren’t essential and are ultimately unhealthy so best used for animals that need to consume such as our pets

                5 years, 7 months ago

                What about all the animals hat are killed to grow a field of wheat/grain?

                  *that

                2. Ask Yourself
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 7 months ago

                  How much wheat/grain do we consume vs how much we feed to the animals we eat? If we stopped feeding them this stuff they aren’t designed to eat but fattens them quickly and instead gave it to the starving and in need instead we would still be able to feed our population. Takes a lot less land to feed yourself plants than animals

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Btw do you genuinely think the taste of something is more important than their life. If so what trait differentiates you from animals that would mean that the fact you taste good makes it funny to eat you?

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years

            Nothing. I am an animal.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years

        The best option you reckon?

        1. vartshk
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          My alternatives are two palace defenders against Liverpool so it’s the only option for me. But I think it’s the best of a bad bunch. Could scrap a CS and seems sure of a start.

          1. vartshk
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            *scrape. Although scrap works too.

  24. vartshk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What are people’s thoughts on going without a big hitter up front but bringing in KDB in a 5 man mid. Not this week. Could do it next with 2ft and a hit. There seem to be plenty of very decent cheap striking options at the moment. It would leave me with something like this:

    Fab/4.0
    Mendy Robbo WB tomkins peltier
    Salah mane bilva KDB jota
    Arnie king/mitro zaha

    I mean... it looks tempting. Or does it?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      5 man midfield is good way to go, but as you can then only play 2 up front seems a waste to have 3 rotating strikers (even cheapies). Could have 1 fodder striker (Kamara seems popular) and use extra cash on improving Bilva or Jota or a premium defender.

        Done it last year and quite enjoyed it (winning my Draft helped).
        Decided not to bother this year but I recommend anyone that hasn't tried one to give it a go.
