Luis Díaz out, Johnson in

Outgoing: Luis Díaz (Liverpool, £8.0m)

The Colombian midfielder has been a solid performer for Liverpool, scoring 2 goals in his last 3 matches. However, with 19 points compared to an xFPL of 15.98, he may have slightly overperformed. After being benched last gameweek and with tough upcoming fixtures against Chelsea (H), Arsenal (A), and Brighton (H), FPL managers are transferring him out.

Incoming: Johnson (Tottenham, £6.6m)

Johnson has been in excellent form, netting 3 goals in his last 3 games and accumulating 25 points. With an xFPL of 18.57, he shows potential for continued strong performances. Tottenham's next three fixtures are West Ham (H), Crystal Palace (A), and Aston Villa (H).

Johnson is the most transferred-in player ahead of Gameweek 8, with over 280,000 managers bringing in the Spurs' in-form player, as highlighted by the Transfer Analytics tool.

Luis Díaz out, Palmer in

Outgoing: Luis Díaz (as above)

Incoming: Palmer (Chelsea, £10.8m)

Palmer has been a standout performer, amassing an impressive 39 points in his last 3 matches, including 5 goals and 1 assist. His xFPL of 33.18 suggests his output at this level might not be sustainable though. Chelsea face Liverpool (A), Newcastle (H), and Manchester United (A) in their next three fixtures.

N.Jackson out, Solanke in

Outgoing: N.Jackson (Chelsea, £7.9m)

Jackson has contributed 2 goals and 2 assists in his last 3 games, totaling 23 points. Chelsea's upcoming fixtures are challenging though, facing Liverpool (A), Newcastle (H), and Manchester United (A).

Incoming: Solanke (Tottenham, £7.6m)

Solanke has scored 2 goals in his last 3 matches, earning 17 points. With an xFPL of 21.09, he seems to be underperforming, suggesting he could offer good value. Tottenham's next three fixtures—West Ham (H), Crystal Palace (A), and Aston Villa (H)—are appealing, which is why top managers are switching from N. Jackson to him.

Luis Díaz out, Mbeumo in

Outgoing: Luis Díaz (as above)

Luis Díaz is the most transferred-out player this week, with over 290,000 managers moving on from him. The Transfer Analytics tool above highlights the top five replacements chosen by top FPL managers.

Incoming: Mbeumo (Brentford, £7.5m)

Mbeumo has been in fine form, scoring 3 goals in his last 3 games and earning 25 points. His xFPL of 19.76 suggests he's overperforming slightly. Brentford's upcoming fixtures include Manchester United (A), Ipswich (H), and Fulham (A).

João Pedro out, Solanke in

Outgoing: João Pedro (Brighton, £5.5m)

Pedro is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, and his return date is unknown. As a result, managers who still own the Brazilian are finally transferring him out. He has played just 19 minutes over the last 3 gameweeks, scoring only 1 point.

Incoming: Solanke (as above)

These transfers reflect top managers' strategies to capitalise on in-form players and favourable fixtures while navigating injuries and potential overperformers. Always consider your overall team structure and long-term plans when making transfer decisions.
