Darlow has a Blank Gameweek 34 with no fixture, which is the primary driver behind the exit volume.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Caoimhín Kelleher is currently held by 12.6% of FPL managers against 4.5% for Karl Darlow. A 8.1 percentage point ownership gap means that if Caoimhín Kelleher returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 34 and you are still holding Darlow, you hand ground directly to that 12.6% 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 Darlow for Kelleher?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £0.9m extra, moving from Karl Darlow at £3.9m to Caoimhín Kelleher at £4.8m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £4.8m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. Darlow has a Blank Gameweek 34, so the budget case is evaluated on the following gameweek's fixture quality rather than immediate return.
