Here are the top 10 most-sold players in Fantasy Premier League before Gameweek 11, according to the Transfer Analytics tool. It may come as a surprise to many that Erling Haaland tops the list, with over 350,000 managers transferring him out.
Let's delve into these transfers and analyse the key factors influencing these decisions:
Haaland's Departure: A Calculated Risk?
The most striking trend is the mass exodus of Erling Haaland from top managers' teams. Despite being fit and available, Haaland's recent form has been underwhelming. In his last three fixtures, he's managed just one goal, accumulating 10 points with an xFPL of 21.64, suggesting significant underperformance.
Manchester City's upcoming fixtures are mixed, with Brighton (H), Tottenham (H), and Liverpool (A) on the horizon. While Haaland's potential for explosive hauls remains, managers seem to be seeking alternatives to free up funds and capitalise on in-form assets.
Cunha: The Budget-Friendly Dynamo
Matheus Cunha emerges as a popular replacement for Haaland. The Wolves forward has been in impressive form, amassing 17 points in his last three outings, including a goal and an assist. With favourable fixtures against Southampton (H), Fulham (A), and Bournemouth (H), Cunha presents an enticing option. His xFPL of 17.64 aligns closely with his actual performance, indicating consistent returns.
Isak: Newcastle's Goal-Scoring Threat
Alexander Isak is another forward catching the eye of top managers. With 2 goals in his last 3 games and 17 points, Isak has been a reliable source of returns. Newcastle's upcoming fixtures against Nottingham Forest (H), West Ham (A), and Crystal Palace (A) offer potential for attacking returns. His xFPL of 19.93 suggests there's room for even better performances.
Wood: The Surprise Package
Chris Wood has been a revelation, scoring 4 goals in his last 3 matches and accumulating 27 points. With a penalty-taking role and fixtures against Newcastle (A), Arsenal (A), and Ipswich (H), Wood represents excellent value. His xFPL of 20.14 indicates his recent form is sustainable.
Salah: The Premium Midfield Maestro
Mohamed Salah's inclusion in two of the top transfer combinations highlights his importance. With 3 goals, 1 assist, and 31 points in his last 3 games, Salah is in scintillating form. Liverpool's fixtures against Aston Villa (H), Southampton (H), and Manchester City (A) offer mixed prospects, but Salah's consistency makes him a prime target.
Luis Díaz and Smith Rowe: Making Way for Salah
Luis Díaz's limited minutes (111 in the last 3 games) and Smith Rowe's modest returns (9 points) make them expendable in the eyes of top managers. Both players have challenging fixtures ahead, further justifying their removal to accommodate Salah's inclusion.
In conclusion, these transfers reflect a shift towards in-form, value options and the evergreen appeal of Mohamed Salah. As always, FPL managers must balance form, fixtures, and team structure in their decision-making process.
