The Hot Picks: Top Three Most Bought FPL Players

Fantasy Premier League most bought players

The five most transferred-in players ahead of Gameweek 6, according to the Transfer Analytics tool.

Luis Díaz (£7.9m) - Liverpool's Midfield Maestro

Liverpool's Luis Díaz leads the pack with an impressive 479,233 transfers in. The Colombian has been in sensational form, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist. His expected goals (xG) of 3.75 suggest he's slightly outperforming expectations. However, with upcoming matches against Wolves (A) and Crystal Palace (A), this overperformance could continue.

Elite FPL team reveal showing midfield

Top manager Philman, a nine-time top 10k finisher, has activated his Wildcard chip and currently has a double Liverpool midfield. You can view his full squad using the Elite XI: Team Reveal tool.

Gabriel (£6.1m) - Arsenal's Defensive Rock

Arsenal's Gabriel has caught the eye of 357,816 managers. The Brazilian defender has not only kept clean sheets but also contributed 2 goals, scoring the second in Sunday's game at the Etihad.

Bryan Mbeumo (£7.2m) – Brentford's Under-the-Radar Star

Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo rounds out the top three with 351,494 transfers in. With 4 goals so far, Mbeumo offers excellent value, boasting 7 shots on target from 10 attempts, highlighting his attacking threat.

FPL midfielder projected points

Among midfielders, only Bukayo Saka is projected to score more points than Mbeumo over the next two Gameweeks, according to the Predicted Points and Stats tool.

The Exodus: Top Three Most Sold FPL Players

Most sold players in Fantasy Premier League

The five most transferred-out players ahead of Gameweek 6, according to the Transfer Analytics tool.

Diogo Jota (£7.5m) – Liverpool's Bench Warmer

Topping the transfer-out list is Liverpool's Diogo Jota, with 315,176 managers selling him. Despite scoring a goal and providing an assist, his limited playing time has frustrated managers, especially after he didn’t feature in Liverpool’s recent win over Bournemouth. However, his xG of 2.33 suggests he could still be a threat if given more minutes.

Alexander Isak (£8.3m) – Newcastle's Injury Struggles

Close behind is Newcastle's Alexander Isak, with 305,310 transfers out. Injury concerns dampened the Swedish striker’s Gameweek 5, but he did play. Despite a goal and an assist, many managers are opting to sell due to doubts over future difficult fixtures.

João Pedro (£5.6m) – Brighton's Rotation Gamble

Brighton's João Pedro rounds out the top three with 212,429 transfers out. Despite netting 2 goals, his inconsistent playing time has frustrated managers, leading them to seek better value in the forward position.

Popular FPL Transfer Combinations: The Swap Shop

FPL Gameweek 6 transfer combinations

The top 10 transfer combinations ahead of Gameweek 6, as seen in the Transfer Analytics tool, are likely heavily influenced by the surge in Wildcards being played this week. For instance, all but one of the Elite XI: Team Reveal managers have activated their Wildcard chip.

Midfield Makeover: Mbeumo for Diogo Jota

The most popular transfer sees managers swapping Diogo Jota for Bryan Mbeumo. This move capitalises on Mbeumo's form and favourable upcoming fixtures while cutting losses on Jota's bench time.

FPL fixture difficulty

Brentford rank highest for attacking difficulty over the next four Gameweeks, according to the Fixture Analyser tool.

Defensive Dynamo: Luis Díaz for Eberechi Eze

Another favoured move is bringing in Luis Díaz at the expense of Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze. Díaz's attacking returns make him an attractive proposition over Eze's inconsistent performances.

Forward Thinking: Nicolas Jackson for Alexander Isak

In the forward line, many are opting to replace the inconsistent Isak with Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson. Jackson's 4 goals and 2 assists make him an enticing option at £7.7m.

Price Watch: The Risers and Fallers

Rising Stars

Luis Díaz (£7.9m) – On track for a second price rise, likely to increase by tomorrow.
Bryan Mbeumo (£7.2m) – Gradually rising, but still a few days away from a second price increase.
Nicolas Jackson (£7.7m) – Gaining momentum, though a second price rise isn’t expected immediately.
