Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 2, 20,226 managers have moved into Jan Paul Van Hecke while 11,626 have left Marc Guéhi. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Jan Paul Van Hecke 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 Van Hecke in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Marc Guéhi carries 17.6% ownership against 10.5% for Jan Paul Van Hecke. Holding Guéhi 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 Jan Paul Van Hecke return while you hold Guéhi costs rank against the 10.5% 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 Guéhi for Van Hecke?

Accepted Answer

Selling Marc Guéhi at £6.0m for Jan Paul Van Hecke at £5.0m frees up £1.0m 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 Van Hecke while strengthening another area. At 2.2 projected points for Jan Paul Van Hecke 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 Van Hecke heading into Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Jan Paul Van Hecke faces Newcastle (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 Van Hecke before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 20,226 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
