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

This is the version of FPL Transfers: The Most-Bought And Most-Sold Players from 5 October 2026, kept for the record. The picks and the numbers have moved since. The current version →

The call — The ledger didn't move. Not one line. Across all four positions — thirty tracked names per spot, forty slots in the top tens — nobody rose, nobody fell, nobody dropped out. The biggest swing anywhere in the book was a tenth of a point shaved off Bruno Fernandes, Szoboszlai and João Pedro, with Groß nudging the same amount the other…

One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for six gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.

Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

No FPL password, ever. We only read what FPL already publishes.

That's rare, and it's useful. A frozen day tells you the template is settled and the crowd is sitting on its hands — which means no price pressure, in either direction, right now.

The shape of the book is unchanged. Haaland remains the one true asset everyone carries — roughly 7 in 10 squads, the kind of holding you simply can't afford to be short on. João Pedro sits just behind him at about 6 in 10. In defence, Calafiori is the template pick (about half of all squads), with Raya the near-universal keeper at a touch over 4 in 10. Rogers leads the midfield ledger, with Fernandes and Szoboszlai close behind — all three owned by 3-4 managers in every 10.

Here's the part worth money. Bandwagons don't announce themselves — they show up as a rising delta one day and a price change two days later. Today there's no bandwagon to chase and, crucially, nothing to panic-sell ahead of a fall. If you were sweating a value drop on a player you're holding, you've been given a day of grace.

Which makes this the cheapest possible moment to do planned business. If you've been circling a move up to the template — Haaland if you've somehow gone without, João Pedro, Calafiori — a flat market means you're buying at today's price with no premium baked in. The crowd always moves eventually, and when 7 in 10 managers already own the destination player, latecomers pay the rise, not the launch price.

**The call: no bandwagon to jump, no faller to fade — so make your planned transfer *now*, while every price on the board is standing still. The managers who move in the quiet buy at face value. The ones who wait pay the markup.**
