What the transfer deadline day deals mean for FPL

After a busy Tuesday of transfer activity, we round up all the incomings and outgoings on deadline day and ask what they mean from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

CRISTIANO RONALDO

  • New club: Manchester United
  • Position: Striker
  • FPL position: Forward
  • FPL price: £12.5m
  • Positional rivals: Mason Greenwood (£7.6m), Edinson Cavani (£8.5m), Anthony Martial (£7.8m)

Cristiano Ronaldo has finally completed his transfer from Juventus to Manchester United, penning a two-year deal with an option for a further 12 months.

“He’s evolved as a player, he used to play wide right, wide left, up front. He’s more of a centre-forward for me at the moment, definitely.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Cristiano Ronaldo

We’ve already had an in-depth look at what his arrival could mean for FPL managers and existing assets both at Manchester United and beyond, which you can read below:

NIKOLA VLASIC

Image
  • New club: West Ham United
  • Position: Attacking midfielder/right-winger
  • FPL position: Midfielder
  • FPL price: £6.0m
  • Positional rivals: Pablo Fornals (£6.0m), Said Benrahma (£6.4m), Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m)

With a fairly wafer-thin squad and a UEFA Europa League campaign to embark on after the September international break, West Ham United always looked likely to add to their ranks on transfer deadline day.

Kurt Zouma’s (£5.4m) arrival from Chelsea earlier this week likely spells trouble for Craig Dawson (£5.0m) but there is now more competition for places in the attacking midfield spots behind Michail Antonio (£7.9m).

That’s because Nikola Vlasic (£6.0m) has signed for the Hammers from CSKA Moscow, with the 23-year-old Croatia international able to play in the no. 10 role or as a winger.

Vlasic, who previously had an unremarkable spell at Everton in 2017/18, scored 28 goals and assisted 16 more in 86 league appearances for the Russian side.

Pablo Fornals (£6.0m), Said Benrahma (£6.4m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m) are the obvious players at risk from Vlasic’s arrival, with Fornals and Benrahma both able to play in the hole or out wide on the left.

Given the attacking swagger that West Ham have displayed in the first three Gameweeks, it seems likelier that Vlasic will have to bide his time in the league and ease himself into the fray via European outings.

Longer-term, with David Moyes having two matches a week to juggle, then perhaps we’ll see Vlasic come into contention.

“I have been watching Nikola improve over recent seasons – he has got a good goals and assists record during that time. He is also a Croatia international with experience and still being only 23, I feel there is more to come from him. 

“I was really impressed with how determined Nikola was to become a West Ham player. It’s that hunger and ambition that fits with what we are trying to build here at the Club.” – David Moyes on Nikola Vlasic

We’ll have a full Scout Report on the Croatian in the coming days.

The Hammers have also completed the loan signing of Alex Kral (£4.5m), a defensive midfielder who will offer much-needed back-up to Tomas Soucek (£6.0m) and Declan Rice (£5.0m).

MARC CUCURELLA

  • New club: Brighton and Hove Albion
  • Position: Left-back/left wing-back/left midfielder
  • FPL position: Defender
  • FPL price: £5.0m
  • Positional rivals: Solly March (£5.5m), Dan Burn (£4.5m)

Brighton and Hove Albion have confirmed the signing of Marc Cucurella (£5.0m) from Getafe on a five-year deal.

The 23-year-old Spaniard can play at left-back or as a wide midfielder on the same flank, so will add to the current options that Graham Potter has – namely Solly March (£5.5m) and Dan Burn (£4.5m) – in those positions.

Cucurella’s arrival could, in turn, allow March to be deployed further up the pitch.

We’ve already seen Pascal Gross (£6.0m) and Joel Veltman (£4.4m) moonlighting at left-back/wing-back in the first three Gameweeks of the season, such has been Potter’s shortage of options in the position.

“We have been keen to bring Marc to the club, and we are really pleased to finally welcome him here and are excited to begin working with him.

“He has had a fantastic education in the youth teams at Barcelona and he has gone onto make a real impression in La Liga and within the national set up. He is a versatile player, and he will add competition and options to the squad.” – Graham Potter on Marc Cucurella

Listed as a defender in FPL, a £5.0m price tag looks on the steep side given the plethora of £4.5m-or-less routes into the Albion backline. Eye-catching attacking stats at Getafe last season (26 shots and 37 key passes) are perhaps the reason for that, although he played mostly as a left-midfielder for the La Liga outfit in 2020/21.

DANIEL JAMES

  • New club: Leeds United
  • Position: Left-wing/right-wing
  • FPL position: Midfielder
  • FPL price: £6.0m
  • Positional rivals: Raphinha (£6.5m), Jack Harrison (£5.9m)

The knock-on effect of Ronaldo’s arrival at Manchester United also looked like bad news for Daniel James (£6.0m) and, after a surprise Gameweek 3 start, the Wales international has departed Old Trafford and signed for a club he nearly joined two years ago.

Leeds have snapped up the 23-year-old winger for an undisclosed fee, with James – adept at playing on either flank but having previously expressed a preference for a left-sided role – set to provide competition to Raphinha (£6.5m) and, more likely, Jack Harrison (£5.9m).

“The [Leeds] football department have been monitoring Daniel for a number of years and every member of my team has worked hard to get this deal over the line. It is no secret that Daniel is a player we have been keen to acquire for a number of years and today we achieved our goal.

“As a player we feel Daniel is an excellent fit for a Marcelo Bielsa team, he is quick, direct and works hard – we look forward to him joining up with the squad, finally!” – Victor Orta, Leeds’ Director of Football, on Daniel James

There is a possibility of all three players starting in Bielsa’s line-up, with Harrison and James on the flanks and Raphinha in the ‘problem’ number 10 position, where the likes of Rodrigo (£6.4m), Mateusz Klich (£5.5m) and Tyler Roberts (£5.0m) haven’t really convinced ever since the Whites came up from the Championship.

But Bielsa has previously gone on record as saying that he sees Raphinha as more at home out wide:

“Fundamentally, he plays on either wing. He is a player who is naturally very attacking, with ability to get in behind, with dribbling skills. They are virtues to attack and these are skills applicable out wide as well as in the centre. “I won’t say that I won’t use him in any other position but fundamentally I see him as player to play on either wing. He has played in the centre as a striker and attacking midfield but he arrived in our team to be an alternative or option on the wing.” – Marcelo Bielsa on Raphinha

The arrival of James has seen Helder Costa (£5.4m) leave Leeds on loan for the season.

EMERSON ROYAL

Image
  • New club: Tottenham Hotspur
  • Position: Right-back
  • FPL position: £5.0m
  • FPL price: Defender
  • Positional rivals: Japhet Tanganga (£4.5m), Matt Doherty (£4.9m)

Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Emerson Royal (£5.0m) from Barcelona, subject to international clearance and a work permit.

The Brazilian right-back scored four goals and assisted a further 10 in 76 La Liga appearances, mostly for Real Betis.

Japhet Tanganga (£4.5m) has started all three Premier League matches at right-back the Lilywhites in 2021/22, with Matt Doherty (£4.9m) now shunted further down the pecking order and Serge Aurier (£4.9m) leaving the club by mutual consent on deadline day.

Royal will be coming into the division’s in-form defence, who have banked three successive clean sheets.

The Brazil international is a darn sight more attacking than Tanganga, with Jordi Alba (16) the only full-back to be involved in more goals than Royal (14) since the start of 2019/20.

The new Spurs signing racked up an eye-catching 37 shots and 62 key passes in his last two seasons with Betis.

ODSONNE EDOUARD

Image
  • New club: Crystal Palace
  • Position: Striker
  • FPL position: Forward
  • FPL price: £6.5m
  • Positional rivals: Christian Benteke (£6.4m), Jean-Philippe Mateta (£5.4m)

Patrick Vieira has added some much-needed firepower to his attack with the capture of Odsonne Edoaurd (£6.5m).

Bar the odd patch of form, Christian Benteke (£6.4m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£5.4m) haven’t really laid down convincing claims to be their side’s spearhead over the last year.

Edoaurd arrives in the Premier League with an impressive track record, having scored 59 goals and assisted a further 26 strikes in 107 league appearances for Celtic.

And whilst there has to be a big asterisk next to any stat from north of the border considering the calibre of opposition, he’s also a proven performer on the junior international stage: the Frenchman has notched 43 goals in 51 appearances for his country’s various youth sides, all the way up to under-21 level.

A taker of penalties and direct free-kicks for the Glasgow side, it’ll be interesting to see whether he similarly factors into the thinking from dead-ball situations for Palace.

“I’m very happy to be here today. I can’t [wait] start to train with the team and to play for this club… Scoring goals in the Premier League may be the biggest challenge in my career. But I’m confident in myself and my teammates to be successful.” – Odsonne Edouard

Palace’s fixtures aren’t particularly appealing right now but Gameweeks 9 or 17 might be time to consider the mid-price forward should he catch the eye, with more favourable runs starting from those points.

Takehiro Tomiyasu

  • New club: Arsenal
  • Position: Right-back/centre-half
  • FPL position: TBA
  • FPL price: TBA
  • Positional rivals: Calum Chambers (£4.4m), Cedric Soares (£4.4m)

With Hector Bellerin (£4.8m) departing for Real Betis on a season-long loan, Arsenal have reinforced their options at right-back with the capture of Japan international Takehiro Tomiyasu from Serie A side Bologna.

Tomiyasu has played a large chunk of his games at centre-half, including in half of his appearances in the Italian top flight last season.

If the Gunners are to use him predominantly at full-back, we can perhaps looks to his stats in the 2019/20 campaign – when he was mostly in that position – for guidance.

Tomiyasu registered one goal and three assists in that season, registering a respectable 19 shots and 18 key passes in 29 Serie A run-outs.

“Takehiro is a strong defender with good experience in Serie A and at international level. He’s a versatile defender with great defensive qualities, high technical ability and composure on the ball. He will be an important member of our squad. We look forward to Takehiro joining up with us when he returns from international duty.” – Mikel Arteta on Takehiro Tomiyasu

Alex Runarsson (£4.0m) has departed north London on loan, meanwhile, and Willian (£6.3m) has left the club by mutual consent to join Corinthians.

ADEMOLA LOOKMAN

  • New club: Leicester City
  • Position: Left-wing
  • FPL position: Midfielder
  • FPL price: £6.0m
  • Positional rivals: Harvey Barnes (£6.9m)

Ademola Lookman (£6.0m) has joined Leicester City on loan from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

Predominantly a left-winger, and ergo competition for Harvey Barnes (£6.9m), Lookman scored four goals and assisted as many in FPL last season.

He was also among the top 10 midfielders for goal attempts and chances created, although his goal conversion rate of 5.9% was fairly dismal.

Above: FPL midfielders sorted by goal attempts in 2020/21 (from the Premium Members Area)

SALOMON RONDON

  • New club: Everton
  • Position: Striker
  • FPL position: TBA
  • FPL price: TBA
  • Positional rivals: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.2m), Richarlison (£7.6m)

Salomon Rondon will reunite with Rafael Benitez for the third time, following spells under the current Everton boss at Newcastle United and Dalian Professional.

Likely to play back-up to Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.2m) and Richarlison (£7.6m), he’s nevertheless one of the many unheralded players that Benitez has been able to get the best out of in the past – Newcastle-era and new teammate Andros Townsend (£5.5m) being a prime example.

In his one season at Newcastle under Benitez, Rondon scored 11 goals and provided seven assists from 32 Premier League appearances.

Moise Kean (£6.0m) has departed Everton for old club Juventus on a two-year loan deal, meanwhile, with the Turin club having the obligation to make the move permanent.

SAUL NIGUEZ

  • New club: Chelsea
  • Position: Central midfielder
  • FPL position: TBA
  • FPL price: TBA
  • Positional rivals: N’Golo Kante (£4.9m), Jorginho (£6.0m), Mateo Kovacic (£5.0m)

Saul Niguez will add to Thomas Tuchel’s options in the middle of the park and provide competition for N’Golo Kante (£4.9m), Jorginho (£6.0m) and Mateo Kovacic (£5.0m).

The Spain international has joined from Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan deal with an option for a permanent transfer at the end of the campaign.

According to the Chelsea website…

Under Simeone, rather than concentrating on being a goalscoring midfielder, he has mostly been deployed as a versatile, industrious player with good positional play to cover, pressure and win the ball, as well as serving the strikers with quick possession.

He brings left-footed balance to a midfield and retains a goal threat with runs into the box, ability to shoot from distance and an aerial presence in open play and at set pieces.

Averaging nearly four goals per season over the last seven years, Saul does, as the Blues state above, carry a little bit more of a goal threat than his three new aforementioned teammates, if we ignore Jorginho’s penalty-taking duties.

The Spaniard has averaged at least one shot per league appearance in each of the previous six campaigns, with 124 of his 474 career efforts in all competitions coming from his head – underscoring that aerial threat.

THE REST

Burnley have confirmed the signing of Swansea City and Wales international defender Connor Roberts, who has signed a four-year-deal at Turf Moor after arriving from the Championship club for an undisclosed fee.

Roberts is a right-back and will provide competition for Matthew Lowton (£4.5m) when he has fully recovered from a groin injury, with veteran Phil Bardsley (£4.0m) presumably falling further down the pecking order.

In terms of outgoings, Leicester’s Dennis Praet (£4.9m) and budget FPL midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White (£4.5m) were among the more notable names heading out on loan.

Budget FPL forward Michael Obafemi (£4.5m) is one a handful of players who have left permanently, along with Watford’s Nathaniel Chalobah (£5.0m).

      Seriously! Price reveals for the Norwich players are in too.

      I think its gonna be 12 or 12.5 for Ronaldo.

    Ronaldo is passed it, I'll stick with Bruno and Salah for my premiums.

      Euro Fantasy gave non owners a trailer...

      2 years, 7 months ago

      I would not stick with Bruno but I don't want to go for Ronaldo as well. Last two years he had extremely static role. Even if he scores a goal in a match, he won't get bonus points probably. He is good only for the hauls later during season when they have that long stretch of fixtures (GW14 was it?)

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Players who do not give ball away and shoot off target all the time (like Mo Salah) get more bps.

        1. Club-De-Belon
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          But they get that from open play crosses, big chances creation, key passes, dribbles and good pass completion (among others). Except occasional dribble, Ronaldo does not much of the rest.

    5. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Oh yeah. He’s been rubbish the last few years.

  5. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I don't understand having 3 premiums when you can only captain one of them each week...

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      so you wouldn't have an entire team of premiums if you could afford it?

      1. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        course i would, but we DO have a budget and it's a squad game?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          That’s not a question.

    2. Club-De-Belon
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      are you one of those who captains only premiums?

    3. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      The ones who aren't captained still earn you a load of points, and potentially more than non-Premium players if they are on good form.

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I understand.

      You don't understand why people want to have many shiny expensive luxury assets. Ok, I get it 😉 Is it a problem for you? Why?

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Is it time to start getting differential players to move away from the template?

    Mine says 92% template!

    Thinking of replacing Sanchez, been poor so far.

    Already swapped Toney for Bambam & looking to replace Ings & Bruno with CR7 & Jota.

    1. Club-De-Belon
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Either you move from template or template moves away from you.

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jota and Ronny will be the template so you seem to be contradicting a bit there

      I went from 27% to 47% diff this week without doing transfers so difficult to stay low

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        That’s the problem as soon as a player starts firing everybody runs to that player, Greenwood & Antonio for instance.

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          If you really want to do it look at players that you wouldn’t jump to now, Gallagher at Palace great form but few we get or start him, Mahrez people will be selling but with Pep rotation he’ll get games and just potential to score big

    3. Dr. Rog

      Bruno (55% owned) fire sale incoming.

    I was getting excited for bruno and ings to jota and Ronaldo and just realised I still have tsimikas so can't make the move 😀

    1. Konstaapeli

      Probably many

    i was walking to the examination room with a pen and a pencil for my exam. Just before it started, penaldo appeared before my eyes! He quickly stole my pen and ran off. I told him to take my pencil instead, but he replied 'no hermano, I only take pens'. Shame on you penaldo!

  10. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Who do you think will play on the right for Man United in the near future? Greenwood in a much better form than Sancho, but who knows what will Ole do.

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Difficult to know but Mason's form puts him ahead of the likes of Sancho for the moment.

  11. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Doing ings + Bruno + Tsimikas ➡ Ronaldo + Jota + Coady for-4. Gives me -

    Sanchez
    TAA - White - Coady
    Salah - Grealish - Greenwood - Jota - Benrahma
    Ronaldo - Antonio

    Foster - Livramento - Cash - Scarlett

    Thoughts? 🙂

        Eww no. Got to be enough to put a lot off.

        1. TomSaints
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I doubt he’ll be worth even 12.0 come season end. A few explosive games but lots of early subs and cameos once Europe starts.

      Was just about to ask this lol.

      Coady is nailed and has slightly better mins/BBPS. Marcal has made 19 crosses in three games. Could potentially lose minutes to Ait-nouri but that's just guesswork on my part

    TAA Robbo James Coady Livra/White

    Robbo> Chilwell/Rudiger in GW7.
    Rudiger > Dias in GW13.

    Robbo (CRY bre)
    Rudiger (SOU bre NOR new BUR)
    Dias( EVE WHU vil wat WOL LEE new lei bre)

    This fixtures can get you more consistent returns than your 4th mid/3rd striker probably?

    Overpriced at 12.5. No thanks

      Perfect price for me. Yes please.

        3 games for Portugal in this international break, and champions league a few days after Newcastle game. Could easily be a sub appearance v Newcastle

          Im sure Ronnie will be saved for the game vs Young Boys

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Time will tell

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I still don't own Salah, but hard to say Ronaldo is worth the same amount at this stage - gonna come down to penalty numbers I reckon

  18. TomSaints

    Urgh.
    Ings, Martinez and Barnes to:
    A) Ronaldo, Allen and 4.0
    (2 playing cheap players)
    B) DCL, Jota & 4.0-5.0 keeper

    It breaks the balance of my team so much going Ronaldo but it’s Ronaldo….

    1. Game of Throw_ins
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B looks good,
      If you can squeeze 1m somehow, can get Ronaldo + Gray.

    Sorry if it has been discussed, but what happenned to Firmino and why is Jota all of a sudden nailed to start

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Rumours of Firmino injury.

    2. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think he got a muscle injury and was subbed early. Waiting on scan but I’d guess he’s out a few weeks

  20. artvandelay316

    A) Dallas > Allan and Vardy > Lukaku for -4
    B) WC team: Bachmann > Sanchez, Foster > Steele, White > Duffy, Dallas > Allan, Vardy > Ronaldo

    Cheers.

    Conversation at FPL Towers:

    What price will we make Ronaldo?

    Well he played in the same league as Lukaku and got 31 goal involvements to Lukaku's 34

    Ok... how much did we make Lukaku again?

    11.5

    Right. 14.0 for Ronaldo so

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's 12.5. Done.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        😆 horrendous timing tbf

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

          Lol

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          2 years, 7 months ago

          One hour later or tomorrow even worse 😉

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku most likely won't be on pens or set-pieces. Ronaldo also has Pogba, Bruno, Sancho et al feeding him.

  22. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So there are three options:
    a) Ings to DCL and stick with Bruno
    b) ings + Bruno to Jota + Ronaldo for a -4
    c) WC

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’d lean B as I just think wildcard is going to be really impactful in Gw 6 or 7

    2. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      You haven't specificied what you would do with WC so hard to say. If it's just a few changes, may not be worth it. I am still trying to work out if 5 changes warrant it.

      I'd be tempted with your B option though.

    If get ronaldo have to downgrade Bruno to £7.5m midfielder so is who is best ? Thinking benramha, Torres, gundo or mount?

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would get Torres

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks now torn between Torres & jota

  25. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Do you think this -8 will pay off over the medium-long term?

    Bruno, Ings, Tsimi to Ronaldo, Jota, 4.5 defender

    Ings tough fixtures, Jota nailed on if Firmino injured
    Tsimi not playing, hence 4.5 def adds depth
    Ronaldo captain material

  26. Sedemuda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Why isn't CR7 listed in draft yet?

  27. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Who's the best 5.0m defender to get in?

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tierney

  28. CC22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on the following for a -4 - Perica, Bruno & Mahrez to CR7, Jota & Smith-Rowe? Currently got exact funds to afford it.

  29. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Best mid/def under 6 who will rise in price twice?
