Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Martinez and buying Lammens in Gameweek 1?

Accepted Answer

The combined 0 exits from Emiliano Martinez and 0 entries into Senne Lammens tell a consistent story heading into Gameweek 1. The transfer market is not dramatically favouring one option over the other in raw volume terms, which means the decision comes down to fixtures, expected points, and your own squad context. The analysis below breaks down each of those factors.

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Martinez over Lammens in Gameweek 1?

Accepted Answer

Senne Lammens is currently held by 20.1% of FPL managers against 4.6% for Emiliano Martinez. A 15.5 percentage point ownership gap means that if Senne Lammens returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 1 and you are still holding Martinez, you hand ground directly to that 20.1% 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 Martinez for Lammens?

Accepted Answer

Emiliano Martinez at £5.0m and Senne Lammens at £5.0m 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 1 and beyond. At 2.6 projected points for Senne Lammens against 2.6 for Martinez, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.

Senne Lammens faces Hull City (A) in Gameweek 1 - a Easy rated fixture. Emiliano Martinez draws Brighton (A), rated Medium.
