Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Thiago and buying Richarlison in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

A total of 346,322 managers have sold Igor Thiago this gameweek - a volume that reflects meaningful market concern rather than isolated decisions. Meanwhile, 59,584 have moved into Richarlison as an alternative, though the exit from Thiago is the stronger market signal in this pairing. Understanding what is driving those 346,322 sales is the key question heading into Gameweek 36.

Question 2

What is the ownership risk of keeping Thiago over Richarlison in Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Igor Thiago carries 32.6% ownership against 6.1% for Richarlison. 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 Richarlison return while you hold Thiago costs rank against the 6.1% 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 Richarlison?

Accepted Answer

Selling Igor Thiago at £7.3m for Richarlison at £6.3m frees up £1.0m 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 Thiago for Richarlison while strengthening another area. At 3.8 projected points for Richarlison against 5.0 for Thiago, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Thiago and Richarlison heading into Gameweek 36?

Accepted Answer

Richarlison faces Leeds (H) in Gameweek 36 - a Easy rated fixture. Igor Thiago draws Man City (A), rated Very Hard. The fixture swing is the clearest argument for making this move now rather than waiting. Buying into Richarlison before an easier schedule is a better entry point than chasing after they have already delivered. The 59,584 managers who have already transferred in have largely acted on this fixture window.
