Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Groß and buying Ndiaye in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 2, 39,602 managers have moved into Iliman Ndiaye while 30,519 have left Pascal Groß. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Iliman Ndiaye 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 Groß over Ndiaye in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Iliman Ndiaye is currently held by 16% of FPL managers against 13.9% for Pascal Groß. A 2.1 percentage point ownership gap means that if Iliman Ndiaye returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 2 and you are still holding Groß, you hand ground directly to that 16% 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 Groß for Ndiaye?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £0.5m extra, moving from Pascal Groß at £5.5m to Iliman Ndiaye at £6.0m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £6.0m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 2.2 projected points for Iliman Ndiaye against 2.0 for Groß, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Groß and Ndiaye heading into Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Iliman Ndiaye faces Bournemouth (A) in Gameweek 2 - a Medium rated fixture. Pascal Groß draws Chelsea (A), rated Hard. The fixture swing is the clearest argument for making this move now rather than waiting. Buying into Ndiaye before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 39,602 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
