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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Ezri Konsa carries 12.3% ownership against 10.5% for Jan Paul Van Hecke. Holding Konsa 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 Konsa 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 Konsa for Van Hecke?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £0.5m extra, moving from Ezri Konsa at £4.5m to Jan Paul Van Hecke 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 Jan Paul Van Hecke against 1.7 for Konsa, the model backs the premium this gameweek.
