Top FPL Managers Shape the Gameweek 24 Transfer Market

Fantasy Premier League managers are already setting the tone for FPL Gameweek 24, and the market trends are clear: underperforming expensive-assets are being sold aggressively, while value picks with strong fixtures are being snapped up in huge numbers.

Across the wider FPL landscape, transfers are heavily concentrated around a small cluster of players — particularly Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo, João Pedro and Enzo Fernández.



Top 10 Transfer Combinations for FPL Gameweek 24

Here are the top 10 transfer combinations FPL managers are making taken from the Transfer Analytics tool.

Top 10 FPL transfer combinations for Gameweek 24

Three of the top ten combinations involve Phil Foden being sold, underlining just how widespread the exit strategy has become.

The Bruno Fernandes Surge

Bruno Fernandes is the standout Fantasy Premier League transfer target ahead of Gameweek 24.

  • 730,477 transfers in
  • Most popular incoming player across all of FPL
  • Features in three of the top ten transfer combinations

With Fulham at home and Haaland managing just one goal in his last six matches, Bruno emerges as a strong captaincy alternative for Gameweek 24.

Phil Foden: Mass Exodus Confirmed

No player better sums up the Gameweek 24 shift than Phil Foden.

  • 716,810 transfers OUT — the most sold player in FPL
  • Appears in three of the top five transfer combinations
  • No attacking return in seven games

For many Fantasy Premier League managers, the combination of muted returns, rotation concerns and upcoming fixtures has made Foden an easy sell — particularly when those funds can be reinvested into players with clearer roles and better schedules.

João Pedro: Value Forward of Choice

João Pedro is quickly becoming the go-to mid-priced forward in Fantasy Premier League.

  • 581,933 transfers in
  • Second most common replacement for Ekitiké
  • Attractive fixtures: West Ham (H), Wolves (A), Leeds (H)

Among top FPL managers, João Pedro stands out as a flexible forward option who allows squad upgrades elsewhere without sacrificing attacking potential. His ownership surge suggests he could quickly become close to template.

Enzo Fernández: The Budget Enabler Managers Trust

Enzo Fernández has quietly emerged as a highly trusted FPL budget midfielder.

  • 428,535 transfers in
  • Frequently paired with Foden sales
  • Home fixture vs West Ham

Elite managers often prioritise reliability over explosiveness in these slots — and Enzo fits that profile perfectly. He has also made it into the latest Wildcard draft of Copenhagen Wednesday, a six-time top 10k finisher.

Bryan Mbeumo Joins the Template Conversation

Bryan Mbeumo’s popularity shows no signs of slowing.

  • 614,667 transfers in
  • Second-most transferred-in player overall
  • Two goals in two games since returning from AFCON

Often arriving as a direct replacement for Foden, Mbeumo offers attacking upside with a much clearer role and reduced rotation risk.

His inclusion alongside Bruno Fernandes also underlines growing confidence in Manchester United’s attacking fixtures, with the world’s number one FPL manager, Tom Dollimore, bringing him in as one of two midfield transfers this week.

Big-Name FPL Departures: Saka & Ekitiké

Two notable highly-priced departures also feature heavily:

Bukayo Saka

  • 196,272 transfers out
  • Directly swapped for Bruno Fernandes in one of the top combinations
  • Leeds (A) not enough to halt sales

Hugo Ekitiké

  • 296,750 transfers out
  • Most commonly replaced by João Pedro
  • Newcastle (H) failing to convince managers to hold

For Fantasy Premier League managers chasing momentum and fixtures, patience appears to be wearing thin with both.

Final Thoughts: What This Means for FPL Gameweek 24

The Gameweek 24 transfer market tells a clear story:

❌ Underperforming heavy-hitters are being sold aggressively

✅ Form + fixtures are driving Bruno Fernandes ownership

💰 Budget midfielders are enabling structural upgrades

📈 João Pedro and Mbeumo are fast approaching template status

If you’re planning transfers this week, these top trends provide a strong reference point — whether you choose to follow them or deliberately go against the crowd.
