Gameweek 9 – Top 6 transfers out

These are the six most transferred OUT players in the lead up to Gameweek 9.
Here is a view of the upcoming five Gameweeks where teams are ordered based on the leakiness of the defences they face.

Gameweek 9 looks to be a great week for the inform midfielders from Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa, who all have some good fixtures.
Here is a view of the upcoming five Gameweeks where teams are ordered based on the potency of the attacks they face.

Aston Villa, West Ham and Manchester City have fantastic defensive fixtures for the next five Gameweeks!
Transfers IN

1. Bruno (£10.6m) – MUN
Fixture: WBA (H)
Ownership: 25.3%
Transfers in: 451k

Last 4 GWs, only Salah has had more shots on target (8 v 7). The Predicted Points Tool has him as GW 9's highest points scorer. He is also ranked 5th for Predicted Points between GW9-12
2. Ziyech (£8.2m) – CHE
Fixture: NEW (a)
Ownership: 14%
Transfers in: 441k

Ziyech had the highest xA (1.37) in Gameweek 8 and Chelsea were also the highest xG team (2.85). In fact, Ziyech has five goals and five assists in his last six games for club and country.
3. Grealish (£7.5m) – AVL
Fixture: BRI (H)
Ownership: 35.6%
Transfers in: 301k

Only Salah has had more touches in the penalty box than Grealish (43 vs 42). He is averaging 10 penalty area touches per game (2nd) in comparison to only 3.8 pen area touches per game last season.
4. Chilwell (£6m) – CHE
Fixture: NEW (a)
Ownership: 28%
Transfers in: 245k

Chilwell is sitting on 41 points having only played 5 matches. He has 2 goals and 2 assists alongside a very tasty 3 clean sheets. He has fantastic attacking stats in a team that can keep clean sheets.
5. Watkins (£6.1m) – AVL
Fixture: BRI (H)
Ownership: 7.4%
Transfers in: 197k

6th highest scoring forward with 47 points in only 7 games. He has 6 goals & 1 assist. He has impressive underlying stats with 9 big chances (2nd) and arguably the best fixtures between GW9-16.
6. Vestergaard (£4.7m) – SOU
Fixture: WOL (a)
Ownership: 8.7%
Transfers in: 193k

39 points (joint 2nd for defenders). But, I'm not convinced that Sou defence is vital over the next 5 GWs. Ranking 12th in Fixture Ticker there seems to better options from AVL & WHU for this run.
Transfers OUT

1. Salah (£7.3m) – LIV
Fixture: LEI (H)
Ownership: 42.3%
Transfers out: 353k

I will be waiting until Friday/Saturday for all the news and information we can get. If is he likely to miss at least 2 games then I will likely replace otherwise will be benching him.
2. Trent (£7.3m) – LIV
Fixture: LEI (H)
Ownership: 24.6%
Transfers out: 334k

Definite transfer out for the most expensive defender in FPL. I would look to change him for one of the cheaper assets such as Chilwell, Cancello/ Dias or Cresswell/ Coufal.
3. Ings (£8.3m) – SOU
Fixture: WOL (a)
Ownership: 8%
Transfers out: 212k

Hassenhutl said he was 4-6 weeks away a fortnight ago and so it makes sense to move him on. He may not be back until around Gameweek 14 vs Man City or Gameweek 15 vs Fulham.
4. Son (£9.6m) – TOT
Fixture: MCI (H)
Ownership: 58%
Transfers out: 212k

I have bigger fires to put out than selling the 2nd highest FPL points scorer this season. With the issues for Trent, Salah and others, I will wait to bring in KDB in GW10 (already have Bruno for GW9).
5. Mitchell (£4.1m) – CRY
Fixture: BUR (a)
Ownership: 20.5%
Transfers out: 187k

Mitchell has served us well as bench fodder so far. I would look to move him on as even once he is back from his knock/injury there is no guarantee that he will displace van Aanholt.
6. Saiss (£5.2m) – WOL
Fixture: SOU (H)
Ownership: 17.9%
Transfers out: 185k

Great returns so far but he's dropped in the pecking order for the LCB and LWB positions. With Kilman's father passing away & AlNouri getting a knock, he may start in GW9 but longer-term worth selling.
