What does the transfer market look like for selling Palmer and buying M.Salah in Gameweek 34?

Accepted Answer

Mohamed Salah is currently held by 17.1% of FPL managers against 15.7% for Cole Palmer.

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 Palmer for M.Salah?

Accepted Answer
