FPL Transfers: The Most-Bought And Most-Sold Players
Ownership MoversGW3Words: FPL Accountant · Numbers: the FFIQ engine
This is the version of FPL Transfers: The Most-Bought And Most-Sold Players from 29 August 2026, kept for the record. The picks and the numbers have moved since. The current version →
The call —Cherki has jumped from 15th to 10th among midfielders in a single day — the biggest overnight move anywhere in the game, and exactly the kind of surge that arrives just before a price rise, not after it. The Manchester City man is now owned by roughly 1 in 10 managers and climbing faster than anyone else on the books.…

Now the outflows, because the crowd is quietly walking away from some very big names. Bruno Fernandes and Mbeumo — still the two most-owned midfielders, held by roughly 5 in 10 and 3½ in 10 respectively — both shed more owners overnight than anyone else in the position. Semenyo leaked too, and Watkins was the biggest faller up front. None of these are panic-sell signals on their own, but sustained selling is how price falls start, and a £0.1m drop on the way out is real money off your squad value. If you were already planning to move one of them on, sooner protects the selling price; later doesn't.
Up top, a genuine changing of the guard: João Pedro has nudged past Haaland as the most-owned forward in the game — both sit at around 7 in 10, so this is the template arguing with itself rather than anyone abandoning ship. No action needed there; when everyone owns both, the money's already priced in.
One quiet exit worth logging: Groß has slipped out of the midfield top ten entirely, easing away with steady dribbles of sales. Nothing dramatic, just the crowd losing interest.
The call: if Cherki was in your plans for this week or next, bring him in today rather than tomorrow — the crowd is piling in and the rise will beat your free transfer if you dawdle. And don't chase the Fernandes/Mbeumo exodus with a knee-jerk sale of your own; fade the panic unless you had reasons beyond the herd. Buy Cherki now, hold the big United pair.
