Question 1

What does the transfer market look like for selling Wirtz and buying Dewsbury-Hall in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

In Gameweek 2, 51,035 managers have moved into Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall while 29,226 have left Florian Wirtz. The net direction of travel is clear: the FPL market is pricing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 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 Wirtz over Dewsbury-Hall in Gameweek 2?

Accepted Answer

Florian Wirtz carries 12.5% ownership against 4% for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Holding Wirtz 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 Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall return while you hold Wirtz costs rank against the 4% 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 Wirtz for Dewsbury-Hall?

Accepted Answer

Selling Florian Wirtz at £7.5m for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at £6.5m 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 Wirtz for Dewsbury-Hall while strengthening another area. At 2.3 projected points for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall against 2.6 for Wirtz, the model does not strongly support the additional spend this gameweek.

Question 4
