This is the version of FPL Transfers: The Most-Bought And Most-Sold Players from 18 August 2026, kept for the record. The picks and the numbers have moved since. The current version →
The call —Overnight ownership: the crowd found Tzolis, and the ledger says move before the price does The single biggest overnight move anywhere in the game belongs to Tzolis. Arsenal's midfielder jumped from 15th to 9th among midfielders in one day, and now sits in roughly 1 in 7 squads — that's a bandwagon in full sprint, not a drift. In this…

He's not alone. Calafiori is the day's other genuine surge — up two spots to second among defenders, owned by about 1 in 4, with more managers piling in overnight than any other defender by a distance. The Arsenal double-up is becoming template: Gabriel already tops the defender list, Raya tops the keepers, and now Calafiori is closing fast. If your plan involved an Arsenal defender at any point this season, the accounting is simple — every day you wait, you risk paying £0.1m more for the same asset.
Elsewhere the book is quieter but tells a story. Mbeumo and João Pedro keep accumulating owners steadily — slow, compounding buys, the healthy kind. Haaland actually shed owners overnight, though when 7 in 10 managers hold him, a small trim is bookkeeping, not a verdict. Groß slipped into the midfield top ten almost unnoticed.
And the exits: Le Fée and Gibbs-White both dropped out of the midfield top ten. Le Fée is being actively sold; Gibbs-White simply got overtaken — his ownership actually ticked up. Don't lump them together. Selling Gibbs-White because he fell down a list would be reacting to the table, not the player.
The honest caveat on Tzolis: fast bandwagons are built on momentum, and momentum reverses just as quickly. Roughly 1 in 7 own him — you're not late yet, but you're not early either, and buying purely to beat a rise is how managers end up holding stock they never wanted.
The call: if Tzolis or Calafiori were already in your plans, execute today — both are the sort of surges that move prices within days, and £0.1m saved is a free half-step later. If they weren't in your plans, don't invent a reason. And leave Gibbs-White alone: the crowd walking past him is not the same as the crowd selling him.
