FPL Transfers: The Most-Bought And Most-Sold Players

He's not alone. The crowd is quietly re-loading on Chelsea — Rogers and Palmer both took healthy steps forward on the day, with Rogers now sitting in about 3 in 10 squads and Palmer just over 2 in 10. Up front, Isak was the pick of the forward risers, edging past 2 in 10. That's three players whose selling prices in your squad will look better next week than this one if you move now.

The leavers matter just as much. Bruno Fernandes shed owners despite still being the most-held midfielder in the game — nearly half of all managers own him, so even a modest exit is a lot of transfers out in raw numbers. And at the back, City's O'Reilly took the day's biggest hit among defenders while team-mates Gvardiol and Guéhi held steady. When the crowd sorts three defenders from one club and picks a loser, the falling one usually keeps falling — and every day you hold a faller is £0.1m you can't get back.

At the very top, nothing moved. João Pedro (over 7 in 10) and Haaland (just behind him) remain the twin pillars of the template, Calafiori is still the most-owned defender by a distance, and Raya rules the goalkeepers. The template isn't shifting; the money underneath it is.

The call: if Gakpo is on your shortlist, buy him now — this is exactly the ownership pattern that precedes a rise, and waiting until the weekend likely costs you £0.1m of value for no reason. If you hold O'Reilly and were wavering, sell before the crowd finishes the job for you. Bruno owners can sit tight — a trickle out of a player owned by half the game isn't a fire alarm, it's rounding.
