Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling João Pedro and buying Welbeck in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

A total of 123,955 managers have sold João Pedro this gameweek - a volume that reflects meaningful market concern rather than isolated decisions.

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping João Pedro over Welbeck in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

João Pedro carries 40.1% ownership against 8.1% for Danny Welbeck. Holding João Pedro 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 Danny Welbeck return while you hold João Pedro costs rank against the 8.1% 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 João Pedro for Welbeck?

Accepted Answer

Selling João Pedro at £7.5m for Danny Welbeck at £6.3m frees up £1.2m in your transfer bank.

At 4.8 projected points for Danny Welbeck against 2.0 for João Pedro, the model backs the premium this gameweek.
