A total of 108,646 managers have sold Jarrod Bowen this gameweek - a volume that reflects meaningful market concern rather than isolated decisions.

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Bowen over Mateta in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Jarrod Bowen carries 14.3% ownership against 8.2% for Jean-Philippe Mateta. Holding Bowen keeps you aligned with the majority - if they blank, you do not lose rank to most of your rivals. But that same ownership cuts both ways: a Jean-Philippe Mateta return while you hold Bowen costs rank against the 8.2% who made the switch. Your rank ambition and mini-league position should shape how you weight this.

Question 3

What is the budget impact of selling Bowen for Mateta?

Accepted Answer

Selling Jarrod Bowen at £7.8m for Jean-Philippe Mateta at £7.6m frees up £0.2m in your transfer bank.

At 7.5 projected points for Jean-Philippe Mateta against 6.0 for Bowen, the model backs the premium this gameweek.
