What is the ownership risk of keeping Igor Jesus over Thiago in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Igor Thiago is currently held by 17.2% of FPL managers against 4.2% for Igor Jesus.

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 Igor Jesus for Thiago?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £2.0m extra, moving from Igor Jesus at £6.0m to Igor Thiago at £8.0m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank.
