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 Gomez over King in Gameweek 6?

Accepted Answer

Diego Gomez carries 4.2% ownership against 2% for Josh King. Holding Gomez 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 Josh King return while you hold Gomez 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 Gomez for King?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £0.5m extra, moving from Diego Gomez at £5.0m to Josh King at £5.5m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £5.5m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 4.4 projected points for Josh King against 3.2 for Gomez, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Gomez and King heading into Gameweek 6?

Accepted Answer

Josh King faces Ipswich Town (A) in Gameweek 6 - a Easy rated fixture. Diego Gomez draws Sunderland (A), rated Medium.
