Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Havertz and buying Kusi-Asare in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 2, 7,657 managers have moved into Jonah Kusi-Asare while 7,190 have left Kai Havertz. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Jonah Kusi-Asare 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 Havertz over Kusi-Asare in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Jonah Kusi-Asare is currently held by 7.4% of FPL managers against 6.3% for Kai Havertz. A 1.1 percentage point ownership gap means that if Jonah Kusi-Asare returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 2 and you are still holding Havertz, you hand ground directly to that 7.4% 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 Havertz for Kusi-Asare?

Accepted Answer

Selling Kai Havertz at £7.5m for Jonah Kusi-Asare at £4.5m frees up £3.0m 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 Havertz for Kusi-Asare while strengthening another area. At 1.0 projected points for Jonah Kusi-Asare against 2.4 for Havertz, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Havertz and Kusi-Asare heading into Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Jonah Kusi-Asare faces Sunderland (A) in Gameweek 2 - a Medium rated fixture. Kai Havertz draws Aston Villa (A), rated Hard. The fixture swing is the clearest argument for making this move now rather than waiting. Buying into Kusi-Asare before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 7,657 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
