What does the transfer market look like for selling Calvert-Lewin and buying Richarlison in Gameweek 36?

Meanwhile, 59,584 have moved into Richarlison as an alternative, though the exit from Calvert-Lewin is the stronger market signal in this pairing.

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Calvert-Lewin over Richarlison in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Dominic Calvert-Lewin carries 13% ownership against 6.1% for Richarlison. Holding Calvert-Lewin 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 Richarlison return while you hold Calvert-Lewin costs rank against the 6.1% 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 Calvert-Lewin for Richarlison?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £0.5m extra, moving from Dominic Calvert-Lewin at £5.8m to Richarlison at £6.3m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £6.3m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 3.8 projected points for Richarlison against 4.0 for Calvert-Lewin, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.
