Cole Palmer FPL stats

The young midfielder's appeal is evident, having racked up an impressive 61 points this season and averaging a staggering 10.2 points per game, as highlighted in the Opta Player Heatmaps tool.

With 6 goals and 4 assists to his name, Palmer has been a consistent performer, boasting an xG of 3.15 and an xA of 3.37. His 18 total shots, with 9 on target, demonstrate his attacking threat.

Mbeumo's Midfield Mastery

Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo (£7.4m) is the second most transferred-in player, with 295,237 managers adding him to their squads.

The midfielder has been in fine form, accumulating 43 points and scoring 5 goals. His underlying stats are promising, with an xG of 1.76 and 8 shots on target from 14 attempts, however, suggesting he is overperforming.

FPL midfielders projected points

According to the Predicted Points & Stats tool, Mbeumo (17.5) ranks fourth among midfielders for projected points over the next three gameweeks.

Jackson's Jump in Popularity

Completing the top three is Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson (£7.9m), who has been brought in by 238,025 managers.

The forward has been making waves with 40 points, 4 goals, and 3 assists. His xG of 4.12 is particularly eye-catching, indicating he may be due for even more goals in the coming weeks.

The Selling Spree

While some players are being snapped up, others are facing the axe from FPL teams. Let's look at the most sold players and the reasons behind their departures.

Most transferred out FPL players

The top five most transferred-out players ahead of Gameweek 7 are displayed in the Transfer Analytics tool.

João Pedro's Departure

Brighton's João Pedro (£5.5m) tops the list of outgoing players, with 372,457 managers transferring him out.

Despite a promising start, Pedro has only managed 19 points with 2 goals and no assists. His mere 19 minutes in the last three gameweeks have left owners impatient, prompting the mass exodus.

Isak's Injury Woes

Newcastle's Alexander Isak (£8.3m) is the second most sold player, with 266,047 managers deciding to part ways.

Injury concerns and a return of just 19 points have led to this mass exodus. With only 1 goal and 1 assist, Isak's form has dipped significantly from his early season promise.

Eze Eased Out

Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze (£6.8m) rounds out the top three most sold players, with 231,756 managers opting to transfer him out.

Despite showing flashes of brilliance, Eze has only accumulated 21 points, with 1 goal and no assists. However, his xG of 2.66 and 25 total shots suggest he may be due for a turnaround in fortunes.

FPL teams fixture difficulty for the next two games

Crystal Palace rank second from bottom in the Fixture Planner for attacking difficulty over the next two games, offering further reason why the England international is being sold.

Top Transfer Combinations

FPL managers are seeking smart transfers to maximise their team's potential. Here are the most popular transfer combinations, as shown in the Transfer Analytics tool:
