Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 2, 27,414 managers have moved into Bukayo Saka while 23,215 have left Cunha. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Bukayo Saka 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 Saka in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Cunha and Bukayo Saka carry near-identical ownership at 10% and 10% respectively. The rank mathematics of this transfer are therefore relatively neutral - the field is broadly split. In that scenario, expected points and fixture quality become the tie-breakers, rather than any ownership-driven fear of missing out.

Question 3

What is the budget impact of selling Cunha for Saka?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £1.5m extra, moving from Cunha at £8.0m to Bukayo Saka at £9.5m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £9.5m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 3.2 projected points for Bukayo Saka against 2.8 for Cunha, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Cunha actually holds the better immediate fixture in Gameweek 2: Ipswich Town (H) rated Easy, compared to Bukayo Saka facing Aston Villa (A) rated Hard. If fixture logic alone is driving the 27,414 transfers into Saka, 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.
