Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 36, 6,659 managers have moved into Bernd Leno while 5,100 have left Emiliano Martinez. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Bernd Leno 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 Leno in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Emiliano Martinez carries 4.7% ownership against 2% for Bernd Leno. Holding Martinez keeps you aligned with the majority - if they blank, you do not lose rank to most of your rivals. But that same ownership cuts both ways: a Bernd Leno return while you hold Martinez costs rank against the 2% who made the switch. Your rank ambition and mini-league position should shape how you weight this.

Question 3

What is the budget impact of selling Martinez for Leno?

Accepted Answer

Selling Emiliano Martinez at £5.1m for Bernd Leno at £4.9m frees up £0.2m 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 Leno while strengthening another area. At 5.5 projected points for Bernd Leno against 2.3 for Martinez, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Emiliano Martinez actually holds the better immediate fixture in Gameweek 36: Burnley (A) rated Easy, compared to Bernd Leno facing Bournemouth (H) rated Medium. If fixture logic alone is driving the 6,659 transfers into Leno, 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.
