In this blog, the Transfer Activity leading up to the Gameweek 22 deadline is analysed

As the above image from our Transfer Analytics feature shows, the Man. Utd trio of B. Fernandes, Shaw and Rashford account for over 1.5 million transfers this gameweek which is understandable given their double gameweek. Over 400,000 managers have also brought in Mitoma with the Japanese international in stellar form. However, as the below image from our Fixture Planner shows, Brighton and Man. Utd both have a blank fixture in gameweek 25 and are both in the FA Cup as well. They are scheduled to face each other in gameweek 28 and that could be a blank as well if either team progresses in the FA Cup.

Cancelo has been sold by nearly a million managers this week with the Portuguese international now at Bayern Munich.

It is interesting to note that three of the most popular defender transfer-ins involve players who do not have a fixture in gameweek 25 (Shaw, Estupinan and Burn) which maybe shortsighted.
