Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Thiago over Barry in Gameweek 6?

Accepted Answer

Igor Thiago carries 9.4% ownership against 8.6% for Thierno Barry. Holding Thiago keeps you aligned with the majority - if they blank, you do not lose rank to most of your rivals. But that same ownership cuts both ways: a Thierno Barry return while you hold Thiago costs rank against the 8.6% who made the switch. Your rank ambition and mini-league position should shape how you weight this.

Question 3

What is the budget impact of selling Thiago for Barry?

Selling Igor Thiago at £7.8m for Thierno Barry at £5.7m frees up £2.1m 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 Thiago for Barry while strengthening another area. At 4.0 projected points for Thierno Barry against 3.0 for Thiago, the model backs the premium this gameweek.
