Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 36, 6,864 managers have moved into Caoimhín Kelleher while 5,100 have left Emiliano Martinez. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Caoimhín Kelleher 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 Kelleher in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Caoimhín Kelleher is currently held by 12.5% of FPL managers against 4.7% for Emiliano Martinez. A 7.8 percentage point ownership gap means that if Caoimhín Kelleher returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 36 and you are still holding Martinez, you hand ground directly to that 12.5% 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 Kelleher?

Accepted Answer

Selling Emiliano Martinez at £5.1m for Caoimhín Kelleher at £4.8m frees up £0.3m 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 Kelleher while strengthening another area. At 4.0 projected points for Caoimhín Kelleher against 2.3 for Martinez, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Emiliano Martinez actually holds the better immediate fixture in Gameweek 36: Burnley (A) rated Easy, compared to Caoimhín Kelleher facing Man City (A) rated Very Hard. If fixture logic alone is driving the 6,864 transfers into Kelleher, 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.
