Introduction
On a general note with GW26 games still ongoing this week early transfers (unless you’re wildcarding) carry an additional injury risk with players still to have a match.
The Bandwagons
These are the 4 most transferred IN players so far in the gameweek
Richarlison
The £8.1m Everton midfielder is currently in a hot streak. 3 goals and 2 assists in his last 5 starts and 13 points against Palace in GW26. The fact that he has played in GW26 reduces the post transfer injury risk has to be a plus.
He’s started as a striker in 4 of the last 5 and has produced very good underlying stats in those 5 games. All of that are massive buy signals for FPL managers. Also in the upcoming blank week GW31 as Everton are out of the FA Cup and their GW31 opponents Norwich are away to Spurs you would think he would have a fixture.
It is worth noting though that 4 of those 5 fixtures mentioned above were against Crystal Palace, Watford, Brighton and Newcastle so it was a pretty favourable run. His overall season stats are reasonable although I would question whether they are the underlying stats of an £8.1m player. His points per match of 5.1 is very good though but that is based on him over performing his underlying stats quite significantly and more than he managed last season. Is it unsustainable or the sign of a young improving potential star. After all Barcelona were apparently interested
The problem though is the fixtures apart from the previously mentioned Norwich game.

The question then is whether you believe his recent form can hold up over the tough run of fixtures to come
Calvert Lewin
You can make similar comments to those for Richarlison for his strike partner and £6.1m FPL Everton forward.
3 goals and an assist in his last 4 games is good going but again on the back of a fixture list that included Palace, Watford, Newcastle and West Ham.
His PPM of 4.0 looks poor but it is heavily distorted by his sub appearances so not relevant. His underlying stats though are absolutely fantastic. Only 3 forwards who have played ,more than 1000 minutes this season, have a better non penalty xG90 and 2 of those are Aguero and Jesus. However these underlying stats are way better than anything he’s previously achieved so again you would think about sustainability going forward.
His season stats though give you hope for the upcoming tricky fixtures it’s just is this the real Calvert Lewin who’s grown as a young player or one you have to doubt can keep his form at this pace

Jimenez
The £7.7m Wolves forward has got 3 goals in his last 3 games. His PPM of 5.2 is absolutely excellent and he seems to have a share of spot kick duties at least. His underlying stats are good over the season in both shooting volumes and xG. He also has very good creativity stats to his game as well with only Firmino getting more assists as an FPL forward this season
The fixtures are excellent with Norwich the ultimate entry point. It is worth noting that Wolves play on Friday in GW26 so you should think carefully before you make a transfer prior to that match.
Wolves are also 1 of 4 teams guaranteed to play in the upcoming blank GW31

Salah
The £12.8m Liverpool midfielder has been in sensational form. It’s hard to say enough superlatives.
The only issues are future rotation. In current form though he’s a dangerous captain favourite not to own.
Fixtures are exceptionally good.
Remember he’s yet to play in GW26 which means early transfers carry additional risk

The Sinking Ships
These are the 4 most transferred OUT players so far in the gameweek
Martin Kelly
The £4.3m Crystal Palace RB was once everyone’s 2nd favourite cheap defender. We’ll come to the favourite soon. However he’s now injured although it doesn’t seem too serious and seems to have lost his place, at least in the short term, to once first choice RB Joel Ward.
Fixtures are good but it’s hard not to see him as a sell

Raheem Sterling
The £11.7m Man City midfielder has no goals in his 4 starts, a 1 minute sub appearance in another start and a no show in the 6-1 win over Villa. It’s not what you paid that kind of cash for.
An injury which seems to suggest he won’t play in the plumb GW26 game v West Ham and is also doubtful for the Champions League match v Real Madrid.
With tricky fixtures to come, an injury and a blank for the EFL cup final in GW28 it’s hard to make a counter argument for a transfer out except maybe that there’s a long time to see if he will be fit for GW27.

Lundstram
Now the once £4.0m Sheffield United defender who played as an attacking mid was a favourite in everyones squad. However 3 benchings have seen him being transferred out en masse.
Now a goal off the bench v Bournemouth is certainly a distraction and favourable words from the Manager about him may give some hope for a hold and a return to the first team. It’s a difficult one though but hard to ignore the 3 benchings. Especially when Sheffield have such good fixtures. It’s whether you hope he gets his place back for the plumb home fixture next v Brighton or cut your losses and do a straight swap for another Sheffield defender
He and Sheffield have a minor annoyance in the blank for the EFL Cup final where their GW28 opponent Aston Villa play.
Sheffield have played in GW26 so no more chances to see a starting lineup before GW27.

Mane
The £12.2m Liverpool midfielder has a thigh injury which still casts doubts over future appearances. The fixtures are mouth watering but I personally would find it hard to play the game of “injury hope for the best” with a Liverpool spot in my team at that value. However that doesn’t mean he needs to be sold this minute. There’s 9 days before GW27.
