Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 2, 51,598 managers have moved into Igor Thiago while 22,710 have left Jonah Kusi-Asare. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Igor Thiago 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 Kusi-Asare over Thiago in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Igor Thiago is currently held by 17.1% of FPL managers against 7.2% for Jonah Kusi-Asare. A 9.9 percentage point ownership gap means that if Igor Thiago returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 2 and you are still holding Kusi-Asare, you hand ground directly to that 17.1% 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 Kusi-Asare for Thiago?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £3.5m extra, moving from Jonah Kusi-Asare at £4.5m to Igor Thiago at £8.0m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £8.0m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 2.5 projected points for Igor Thiago against 1.0 for Kusi-Asare, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Accepted Answer

Jonah Kusi-Asare faces Sunderland (A) (Medium) and Igor Thiago draws Leeds (A) (Medium) in Gameweek 2. The fixture comparison is broadly level - neither player holds a clear schedule advantage this week.
