Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Darlow and buying Leno in Gameweek 34?

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Darlow over Leno in Gameweek 34?

Accepted Answer

Karl Darlow carries 4.5% ownership against 2% for Bernd Leno. Holding Darlow 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 Bernd Leno return while you hold Darlow costs rank against the 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 Darlow for Leno?

Accepted Answer
