Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Mavropanos and buying Van Hecke in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 36, 30,773 managers have moved into Jan Paul Van Hecke while 16,333 have left Konstantinos Mavropanos. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Jan Paul Van Hecke 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 Mavropanos over Van Hecke in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Jan Paul Van Hecke is currently held by 10.3% of FPL managers against 2% for Konstantinos Mavropanos. A 8.3 percentage point ownership gap means that if Jan Paul Van Hecke returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 36 and you are still holding Mavropanos, you hand ground directly to that 10.3% 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 Mavropanos for Van Hecke?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £0.1m extra, moving from Konstantinos Mavropanos at £4.5m to Jan Paul Van Hecke at £4.6m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £4.6m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 5.8 projected points for Jan Paul Van Hecke against 6.5 for Mavropanos, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Mavropanos and Van Hecke heading into Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Jan Paul Van Hecke faces Wolves (H) in Gameweek 36 - a Very Easy rated fixture. Konstantinos Mavropanos draws Arsenal (H), rated Hard. The fixture swing is the clearest argument for making this move now rather than waiting. Buying into Van Hecke before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 30,773 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
