Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

A total of 16,333 managers have sold Konstantinos Mavropanos this gameweek - a volume that reflects meaningful market concern rather than isolated decisions. Meanwhile, 13,733 have moved into Virgil as an alternative, though the exit from Mavropanos is the stronger market signal in this pairing. Understanding what is driving those 16,333 sales is the key question heading into Gameweek 36.

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Mavropanos over Virgil in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Virgil is currently held by 31.8% of FPL managers against 2% for Konstantinos Mavropanos. A 29.8 percentage point ownership gap means that if Virgil returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 36 and you are still holding Mavropanos, you hand ground directly to that 31.8% 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 Virgil?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £1.7m extra, moving from Konstantinos Mavropanos at £4.5m to Virgil at £6.2m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £6.2m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 6.0 projected points for Virgil 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 Virgil heading into Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Virgil faces Chelsea (H) in Gameweek 36 - a Medium 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 Virgil before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 13,733 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
