Who’s Making Way for Reijnders in FPL?

Here are the top 5 transfer combinations involving Reijnders, according to the Transfer Analytics tool.

Florian Wirtz → The top casualty, with 259,916 sales (13.8% of Reijnders buyers). Once owned by 31.2%, the £8.5m Liverpool midfielder has been ditched after blanking in GW1.

Elliot Anderson → Swapped out by 8.7% of Reijnders buyers, Anderson’s sale is proving popular.

Yet, when comparing the Nottingham Forest and Manchester City midfielders in the Opta Heatmaps tool, the numbers tell an interesting story.

Reijnders may have scored 4 more FPL points, but Anderson matched him for shots (3) and actually posted a higher expected goals (xG) and expected assists (xA).

Could this be a knee-jerk transfer that some managers come to regret?

Omar Marmoush → Offloaded by 7.7% of Reijnders buyers, Marmoush is making way despite his £8.5m price tag and 10% ownership.

With only 24 minutes off the bench, some managers clearly felt the sting of Pep Roulette – yet rather than avoiding the risk, they’ve chosen to roll the dice again on another Manchester City midfielder.

Mid-Price FPL Sacrifices

Donyell Malen (7.1%), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (6.8%) and Georginio (5.4%) are also among the most-sold players.

Malen’s benching makes his sales understandable, while Dewsbury-Hall is yet to feature with Everton still to play their opening fixture.

Georginio, on the other hand, returned 6 points with an assist after winning a penalty and played in an advanced role with Welbeck only on the bench — making his sales the most surprising of the three.

Even FPL Premiums Aren’t Safe

Surprisingly, even Cole Palmer (£10.5m, 61.7% owned) is being sold by 3% of Reijnders buyers.

It’s a bold move that could reflect concerns over Chelsea’s form after their 0-0 draw with Palace, a desire to redistribute funds, or simply a knee-jerk reaction. With a home fixture against West Ham up next, it’s a transfer that may come back to haunt those sellers

Final Thoughts on the Reijnders FPL Transfer Rush

Some of these transfer trends look perfectly logical, while others feel more like knee-jerk reactions. At the end of the day, every FPL manager is free to play the game in their own way.

With Reijnders already catching his first £0.1m price rise, it’s worth keeping an eye on the Price Change Predictor tool. He currently sits at 13.6% towards his next rise, so there’s still time to consider your options before deciding who to bring in for him.
