Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Martinez and buying Henderson in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 36, 29,262 managers have moved into Dean Henderson while 5,100 have left Emiliano Martinez. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Dean Henderson 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 Martinez over Henderson in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Dean Henderson is currently held by 8.9% of FPL managers against 4.7% for Emiliano Martinez. A 4.2 percentage point ownership gap means that if Dean Henderson returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 36 and you are still holding Martinez, you hand ground directly to that 8.9% 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 Martinez for Henderson?

Accepted Answer

Emiliano Martinez at £5.1m and Dean Henderson at £5.1m represent a price-neutral transfer this gameweek. No budget is freed or spent - this is a direct swap between two assets at similar valuations. That simplifies the decision: it comes down purely to which player gives you the better return in Gameweek 36 and beyond. At 5.1 projected points for Dean Henderson against 2.3 for Martinez, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Martinez and Henderson heading into Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Emiliano Martinez actually holds the better immediate fixture in Gameweek 36: Burnley (A) rated Easy, compared to Dean Henderson facing Everton (H) rated Medium. If fixture logic alone is driving the 29,262 transfers into Henderson, the numbers do not fully support that rationale this week. The case for this transfer may be stronger as a medium-term hold rather than an immediate Gameweek 36 punt.
