FPL Gameweek 23 Top Transfers Out

Here are the most sold players ahead of Gameweek 23, based on data from the Transfer Analytics tool.

Transfer Analysis: Players Moving Out

• Nicolas Jackson (£7.9m, Chelsea)
  Jackson is among the most transferred-out players, featuring in three of the top five transfer combinations. After a disappointing run, in which he scored just 8 points across his last three matches, he’s struggling. His upcoming fixtures—Manchester City (H), West Ham (A), and Brighton (A)—are challenging. With an expected FPL score (xFPL) of 15.9 but only 8 actual points, he has underperformed significantly.
• Raúl Jiménez (£5.7m, Fulham)
  Despite scoring 16 points in his last three matches (including 2 goals and 3 bonus points), Jiménez is being moved on. Managers are looking to transfer him out ahead of Fulham’s fixtures against Manchester United (H), Newcastle (A), and Nottingham Forest (H).
• Dominic Solanke (£7.5m, Spurs)
  Currently injured (knee), Solanke is expected to return on February 16th. Prior to his injury, he managed just 9 points in his last three appearances, prompting managers to transfer him out.

FPL Gameweek 23 Top Transfers In

Here are the most bought players ahead of Gameweek 23, based on data from the Transfer Analytics tool.

Transfer Analysis: Players Moving In

• Cody Gakpo (£7.5m, Liverpool)
  Gakpo is the most popular transfer in this Gameweek. He scored once in his last three matches and has a double gameweek in GW24 (against Bournemouth and Everton). He also has a favourable fixture against Ipswich before the double. With an xFPL of 14.34, there is room for improvement in his performances.
• Yoane Wissa (£6.2m, Brentford)
  Wissa has been in excellent form, earning 19 points in his last three matches, including 2 goals and 1 assist. His upcoming fixtures—Crystal Palace (A), Tottenham (H), and West Ham (A)—offer strong attacking potential. With a high xFPL of 26.94, his underlying stats suggest he’ll continue to deliver.
• Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.3m, Crystal Palace)
  Mateta has been explosive, scoring 29 points in his last three matches with 4 goals and 7 bonus points. His next fixtures are Brentford (H), Manchester United (A), and Everton (H), with penalty duties adding to his appeal.

FPL Transfer Combinations Conclusion

The surge in transfers for Liverpool’s Gakpo is primarily due to his upcoming double gameweek, while the moves for in-form attackers Wissa and Mateta are driven by their strong recent performances and favourable fixtures ahead.
