Question 1

Should I transfer Lerma in before Gameweek 8?

Accepted Answer

Probably not this week. Lerma's current numbers do not make a strong case for an immediate transfer. There may be better-timed opportunities ahead.  Lerma's next fixture is Newcastle (H) in GW8, rated 3/5 for difficulty. The run over the next 4 gameweeks looks very favourable - 3 of 4 fixtures are rated 3 or below for difficulty.  Lerma has averaged 4.5 pts/game over the last six gameweeks - form that needs to improve to justify bringing him in.  At £4.8m, Lerma is a budget-friendly option. The decision is about squad structure and fixtures, not finding cash elsewhere in your team.  ChatFPL AI can look at your specific squad and tell you whether the move makes sense for your team right now.

Question 2

What does Lerma's fixture run look like for the next 4 gameweeks?

Accepted Answer

Lerma's next fixture is Newcastle (H) in GW8, rated 3/5 for difficulty.  GW8: Newcastle (Home) - difficulty 3/5 GW9: Spurs (Away) - difficulty 3/5 GW10: Liverpool (Home) - difficulty 4/5 GW11: Coventry City (Away) - difficulty 2/5  The run over the next 4 gameweeks looks very favourable - 3 of 4 fixtures are rated 3 or below for difficulty.  Fixture difficulty ratings are a guide but do not account for recent form, team news, or in-season momentum. ChatFPL AI can give you a fuller picture including how Lerma's club has been performing at home and away recently.

Question 3

Is Lerma worth £4.8m in FPL?

Accepted Answer

The value case is harder to make right now. Lerma has returned 2.1 points per million this season - below what you would want at £4.8m.  Lerma has 1 goal and 0 assists this season for 10 total points.  At £4.8m, the value question is whether Lerma earns enough minutes and returns to justify the slot, not whether you can afford him. ChatFPL AI can assess your squad balance and tell you whether the allocation makes sense.

Question 4

Is now the right time to buy Lerma?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your squad situation. If you have a free transfer and need cover in Lerma's position, the case is there. If it costs you a transfer hit, the numbers this week do not strongly support that.  Lerma's next fixture is Newcastle (H) in GW8, rated 3/5 for difficulty. The run over the next 4 gameweeks looks very favourable - 3 of 4 fixtures are rated 3 or below for difficulty.  Lerma's price is stable this gameweek.  ChatFPL AI can factor in your current squad, budget, and remaining free transfers to give you a timing recommendation tailored to your team.
