FPL Transfers: The Most-Bought And Most-Sold Players — 17 Aug

In midfield, the quieter but more telling trade: Mbeumo climbed past Semenyo into third, picking up owners while the City man leaked them. Both sit at just under 3 in 10 owned, but the direction of travel matters — money is moving Old Trafford's way, and Bruno Fernandes remains the most-owned midfielder in the game at nearly 5 in 10. Cunha, meanwhile, fell out of the top ten altogether, nudged aside by Gibbs-White. That's a slow bleed, not a panic sell — barely anything moved on the day — so I wouldn't chase him out the door on this evidence alone.

Up front, the headline is what's happening to the two biggest assets. Haaland is still the most-owned player anywhere — about 7 in 10 squads — but he shed owners on the day, the largest fall on the board. João Pedro, owned by nearly 6 in 10, gained almost exactly what Haaland lost. That's managers trimming the premium to fund elsewhere, not a verdict on the player. Further down, Gyökeres slipped behind Watkins and lost owners doing it — the Arsenal striker bandwagon is quietly reversing.

The calls. Jump the Calafiori move today if he's on your list — this is the kind of surge that reprices a player, and buying after the rise is £0.1m you never get back. Fade the Haaland sell-off: 7 in 10 ownership doesn't unwind in a day, and selling the game's most-owned forward because others are is how you end up chasing him back at a premium. And let Gyökeres keep walking — the crowd is leaving, and there's no rush to stand in the doorway.
