Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Guéhi and buying Shaw in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 2, 14,865 managers have moved into Luke Shaw while 11,626 have left Marc Guéhi. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Luke Shaw 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 Guéhi over Shaw in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Luke Shaw is currently held by 20.8% of FPL managers against 17.6% for Marc Guéhi. A 3.2 percentage point ownership gap means that if Luke Shaw returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 2 and you are still holding Guéhi, you hand ground directly to that 20.8% 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 Guéhi for Shaw?

Accepted Answer

Selling Marc Guéhi at £6.0m for Luke Shaw at £4.5m frees up £1.5m in your transfer bank. That freed budget can be redirected to a stronger position elsewhere in your squad, effectively making this move a two-stage value play: swapping Guéhi for Shaw while strengthening another area. At 1.7 projected points for Luke Shaw against 2.8 for Guéhi, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Guéhi and Shaw heading into Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Luke Shaw faces Ipswich Town (H) in Gameweek 2 - a Easy rated fixture. Marc Guéhi draws Crystal Palace (A), rated Medium. The fixture swing is the clearest argument for making this move now rather than waiting. Buying into Shaw before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 14,865 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
