In Gameweek 2, 117,629 managers have moved into Riccardo Calafiori while 12,159 have left Cristhian Mosquera. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Riccardo Calafiori 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 Mosquera over Calafiori in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Riccardo Calafiori is currently held by 40.4% of FPL managers against 6.2% for Cristhian Mosquera. A 34.2 percentage point ownership gap means that if Riccardo Calafiori returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 2 and you are still holding Mosquera, you hand ground directly to that 40.4% 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.

Cristhian Mosquera at £5.5m and Riccardo Calafiori at £5.5m represent a price-neutral transfer this gameweek.

That simplifies the decision: it comes down purely to which player gives you the better return in Gameweek 2 and beyond. At 2.5 projected points for Riccardo Calafiori against 2.5 for Mosquera, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.
