Question 1

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

But that same ownership cuts both ways: a Jason Steele return while you hold Raya costs rank against the 4.2% who made the switch. Your rank ambition and mini-league position should shape how you weight this.

Selling David Raya at £6.0m for Jason Steele at £4.0m frees up £2.0m 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 Raya for Steele while strengthening another area. At 0.0 projected points for Jason Steele against 4.0 for Raya, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.
