Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Van Hecke and buying Guéhi in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 2, 51,647 managers have moved into Marc Guéhi while 31,875 have left Jan Paul Van Hecke. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Marc Guéhi 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 Van Hecke over Guéhi in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Marc Guéhi is currently held by 17.8% of FPL managers against 10.4% for Jan Paul Van Hecke. A 7.4 percentage point ownership gap means that if Marc Guéhi returns a double-figure haul in Gameweek 2 and you are still holding Van Hecke, you hand ground directly to that 17.8% 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.

Question 3

What is the budget impact of selling Van Hecke for Guéhi?

Accepted Answer

This transfer costs £1.0m extra, moving from Jan Paul Van Hecke at £5.0m to Marc Guéhi at £6.0m. That upgrade cost needs to be funded from elsewhere in your squad or your bank. The question is whether £6.0m represents a price point that justifies the outlay relative to the expected return differential. At 2.8 projected points for Marc Guéhi against 2.2 for Van Hecke, the model backs the premium this gameweek.

Question 4

How do the fixtures compare for Van Hecke and Guéhi heading into Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Jan Paul Van Hecke actually holds the better immediate fixture in Gameweek 2: Newcastle (H) rated Easy, compared to Marc Guéhi facing Crystal Palace (A) rated Medium. If fixture logic alone is driving the 51,647 transfers into Guéhi, the numbers do not fully support that rationale this week. The case for this transfer may be stronger as a medium-term hold rather than an immediate Gameweek 2 punt.
