Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Delap and buying Havertz in Gameweek 6?

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 6, 35,146 managers have moved into Kai Havertz while 18,535 have left Liam Delap. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Kai Havertz 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 Delap over Havertz in Gameweek 6?

Accepted Answer

Kai Havertz is currently held by 8.5% of FPL managers against 2.8% for Liam Delap. A 5.7 percentage point ownership gap means that if Kai Havertz returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 6 and you are still holding Delap, you hand ground directly to that 8.5% 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 Delap for Havertz?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £2.0m extra, moving from Liam Delap at £5.6m to Kai Havertz at £7.6m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £7.6m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 3.2 projected points for Kai Havertz against 1.8 for Delap, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Delap and Havertz heading into Gameweek 6?

Accepted Answer

Kai Havertz faces Leeds (H) in Gameweek 6 - a Easy rated fixture. Liam Delap draws Crystal Palace (A), rated Medium. The fixture swing is the clearest argument for making this move now rather than waiting. Buying into Havertz before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 35,146 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
