Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Konsa and buying Maguire in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

A total of 83,420 managers have sold Ezri Konsa this gameweek - a volume that reflects meaningful market concern rather than isolated decisions. Meanwhile, 17,401 have moved into Harry Maguire as an alternative, though the exit from Konsa is the stronger market signal in this pairing. Understanding what is driving those 83,420 sales is the key question heading into Gameweek 2.

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Konsa over Maguire in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Harry Maguire is currently held by 17.9% of FPL managers against 12.3% for Ezri Konsa. A 5.6 percentage point ownership gap means that if Harry Maguire returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 2 and you are still holding Konsa, you hand ground directly to that 17.9% 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 Konsa for Maguire?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £0.5m extra, moving from Ezri Konsa at £4.5m to Harry Maguire at £5.0m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £5.0m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 2.2 projected points for Harry Maguire against 1.7 for Konsa, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Konsa and Maguire heading into Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Harry Maguire faces Ipswich Town (H) in Gameweek 2 - a Easy rated fixture. Ezri Konsa draws Aston Villa (A), rated Hard. The fixture swing is the clearest argument for making this move now rather than waiting. Buying into Maguire before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 17,401 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
