Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Martinez and buying Dubravka in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

A total of 31,456 managers have sold Emiliano Martinez this gameweek - a volume that reflects meaningful market concern rather than isolated decisions. Meanwhile, 17,372 have moved into Martin Dubravka as an alternative, though the exit from Martinez is the stronger market signal in this pairing. Understanding what is driving those 31,456 sales is the key question heading into Gameweek 2.

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Martinez over Dubravka in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Martin Dubravka is currently held by 19% of FPL managers against 4.2% for Emiliano Martinez. A 14.8 percentage point ownership gap means that if Martin Dubravka returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 2 and you are still holding Martinez, you hand ground directly to that 19% 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 Martinez for Dubravka?

Accepted Answer

Selling Emiliano Martinez at £5.0m for Martin Dubravka at £4.0m frees up £1.0m in your transfer bank. That freed budget can be redirected to a stronger position elsewhere in your squad, effectively making this move a two-stage value play: swapping Martinez for Dubravka while strengthening another area. At 1.0 projected points for Martin Dubravka against 2.6 for Martinez, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Martinez and Dubravka heading into Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Martin Dubravka faces Newcastle (H) in Gameweek 2 - a Easy rated fixture. Emiliano Martinez draws Arsenal (H), rated Hard. The fixture swing is the clearest argument for making this move now rather than waiting. Buying into Dubravka before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 17,372 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
