Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Cunha and buying Ndiaye in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 2, 33,982 managers have moved into Iliman Ndiaye while 23,215 have left Cunha. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Iliman Ndiaye as the better short-term asset. Transfer activity of this scale is typically driven by a combination of fixture awareness, expected returns, and ownership risk - all three of which feed into the analysis below.

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Cunha over Ndiaye in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Iliman Ndiaye is currently held by 16% of FPL managers against 10% for Cunha. A 6.0 percentage point ownership gap means that if Iliman Ndiaye returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 2 and you are still holding Cunha, you hand ground directly to that 16% ownership block. At scale, that rank movement is significant. The decision is not just about points - it is about where you land relative to the field.

Question 3

What is the budget impact of selling Cunha for Ndiaye?

Accepted Answer

Selling Cunha at £8.0m for Iliman Ndiaye at £6.0m frees up £2.0m in your transfer bank. That freed budget can be redirected to a stronger position elsewhere in your squad, effectively making this move a two-stage value play: swapping Cunha for Ndiaye while strengthening another area. At 2.2 projected points for Iliman Ndiaye against 2.8 for Cunha, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Cunha and Ndiaye heading into Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Cunha actually holds the better immediate fixture in Gameweek 2: Ipswich Town (H) rated Easy, compared to Iliman Ndiaye facing Bournemouth (A) rated Medium. If fixture logic alone is driving the 33,982 transfers into Ndiaye, the numbers do not fully support that rationale this week. The case for this transfer may be stronger as a medium-term hold rather than an immediate Gameweek 2 punt.
